[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
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
