[Stephin Merritt, January LaVoy, Francis Jue - When We Were Young and Trod the Board lyrics]

When we were young and trod the boards
Our cardboard lyres played silver chords
And flowers were flung

We gave our all each matinee
And never named the Scottish play

When we were young

When I played St joan their minds were blown

And yours too it was for my tone
That I was known

All too true

We sported hats with six foot plumes
And wore no green in dressing rooms we flew

We swung

Princes came to see me as Ophe-
Lia

Me too i made Portia mine

You said each line right on cue

We bounced about with cardboard swords
When we were young and trod the boards
We trod the boards luvvy
