| My tea turned seven shades darker
|
| As I sit 'n' write these words
|
| And London’s gettin' paler
|
| In my theatre of the absurd
|
| You figured for an evening
|
| And you made it all worthwile
|
| It’s seldom people have a job
|
| And even rarer that I smile
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Teach your children to be them
|
| And never ever ours
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Someone took the park away
|
| But they left a lonely flower
|
| And if your songs be classics
|
| Throw them to the hurd
|
| Truth is where they came from
|
| And not this theatre of the absurd
|
| Some say you wanted to play for me
|
| But it’s only what you’ve heard
|
| That made you want to capture me
|
| In your theatre of the absurd
|
| It was not me, I said myself
|
| And you must do so, too
|
| I hope you have the strength to stay
|
| When I’ll be watchin' you
|
| So baby
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Teach your children to be them
|
| And never ever ours
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Someone took the park away
|
| But they left a lonely flower
|
| Oh when I got here back home tonight
|
| Something within me stirred
|
| Oh it must have been a different kind of play
|
| That touched my theatre of the absurd
|
| Now I’ll be on my way alone
|
| But an interesting thing occurred
|
| See nobody ever shared too much
|
| In my theatre of the absurd
|
| And there I was back in London
|
| Thought about history
|
| It was just like being in school again
|
| But I felt something movin' in me
|
| Hearin' just a bit of the future
|
| Oh it’s comin' and it’s still blurred
|
| And that’s the only thing worth living for
|
| In my theatre of the absurd
|
| Come on
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Teach your children to be them
|
| And never ever ours
|
| Oh play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Someone took the park away
|
| But they left a lonely flower
|
| (Beautiful)
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| (John, come on)
|
| Play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Oh, play me some, (Come on, Eric) play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power
|
| Oh, play me some, play me some
|
| Play me Brixton power |
