The Proclaimers - What the Audience Knew lyrics
[The Proclaimers - What the Audience Knew lyrics]
Played here all the greats that you see
They were all dressed up in
Bright reflections of their society
Some aspired to what was acceptable
Others wet the bed
And others had greatness later
Bestowed on them after they were dead
And the audience knew and the audience knew
What the audience knew
What the audience knew from the audience
There was truth on some of the best nights
Of their youth some were chilled
Their future bright from the fights
Inside
All the greats have played in here
Played here all the greats that you see
Some dressed their words in purple prose
And called it philosophy
Some left here in wild admiration
While some left here perplexed
But act two never left second gear
'Cause the London show was next
And the audience knew and the audience knew
What the audience knew
What the audience knew
Yeah the audience knew
Yeah the audience knew
What the audience knew
What the audience knew
