The Show Lyrics by Steve Hackett

Premonitions: The Charisma Recordings 1975 – 1983

0

Yes, I'm such a simple man
Just book me on the flight
Every day's another place
Playing into the night

And you can't unwind
You're wrecked before the show
Everything's fine when you feel that
'Johnny go go go' - go go

Will you play tonight for me?
Promise I'll do my best
Yes, rock music should be free
Money's worth less and less

And the walls should be cracked
Four red faces make a noise
All dressed in black
I can't tell if they are girls or boys, or boys

Will you play tonight for me?
Promise I'll do my best
Yes, rock music should be free
Money's worth less and less

And the walls should be cracked
Four red faces make a noise
All dressed in black
I can't tell if they are girls or boys, or boys, or boys
