Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening lyrics
[Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening lyrics]
The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long?
If only we had listened then
If we'd known just how right
We were going to be
For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love
Before the stage fell apart
If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we
Could save the show who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
Well, what is your costume today?
And who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you
Thought from the start was an honest one
Well how do you plead? An actor indeed!
Go re learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun
If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we
Could save the show who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long?
If only we had listened then
If we'd known just how right
We were going to be
For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love
Before the stage fell apart
If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we
Could save the show who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
Well, what is your costume today?
And who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you
Thought from the start was an honest one
Well how do you plead? An actor indeed!
Go re learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun
If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we
Could save the show who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
