Flair Lyrics by Michael Cantwell

Starting Here, Starting Now (Original London Cast)

0

[MAN]
\nHey there, fans, back to stay
\nPerhaps you'd like to know how I get through the day
\nHard work, dull work, playing the clown
\nIf I were more perceptive it might get me down
\n
\nI go to work, make losing bids
\nThen I go home to fight with Jane about the kids
\nI do some chores, I pay some bills
\nI got to bed and, if I have to, take some pills
\n
\nI start my day, I pay more bills
\nI have my laughs, I take my spills
\nAnd as I go on through the day, accept my ration
\nOf ordinary, everyday humiliation
\n
\nWhere is flair?
\nWhere's the flash when you entеr a room
\nAnd they know that you're therе?
\nWhere's the daring it takes to release
\nWhat you know is inside?
\nWhere's the skill to produce an effect
\nAnd not look like you tried?
\n
\nWhere, where is dash?
\nWhy do most people slog through the day
\nWhen they could have panache?
\nTo got out in the world with that "Je ne sais quoi"
\nMy grandmother once called "An air"
\nTo have style and a stamp
\nThat is style, not just camp
\nTell me where, oh where, oh where, is flair?
\n
\nWhere, where's romance?
\nWhy do I always plod
\nWhen I could face the music and dance?
\nTell me why, with so much unexpressed
\nDo I hand her a line?
\nWhy do both of us say we're depressed
\nWhen we know we could shine?
\n
\nWhy, why the ploy?
\nWhy do two people drag themselves down
\nWhen they could feel such joy?
\nTo be blessed with the guts to go out to the brink
\nWith all of your senses aware
\nTo feel love, to be "there"
\nTo go mad and not care
\nTell me where, oh where, oh where, is flair?\n\n
