Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening Lyrics
The actors and jesters are hereThe stage is in darkness and clearFor raising the curtainAnd no-ones quite certain whose play it isHow long ago, how longIf only we had listened thein.If wed known just how right we were going to be.For we dreamed a lotAnd we schemed a lotAnd we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.If everyone was listening you knowThered be a chance that we could save the showWholl be the last clownTo bring the house down?Oh no, please no, dont let the curtain fallWell, what is your costume today?Who are the props in your play?Youre acting a part which you thought from the startWas an honest one.Well how do you plead?An actor indeed!Go re-learn your lines,You dont know what youve doneThe finales begun.If everyone was listening you knowThered be a chance that we could save the show,Wholl be the last clownTo bring the house down?Oh no, please no, dont let the curtain fall.Songwriter: Roger Hodgsonhttp://www.RogerHodgson.comhttp://www.RogerHodgsonStore.com
