Balthazar Impresario (Bonus) - Frank Turner[00:00:00]

My name is Balthazar Impresario[00:00:04]

And you'll find me at the bottom of the page[00:00:09]

I have artist's hands[00:00:14]

Though I'm a working man[00:00:16]

But my craft has been forgotten by the age[00:00:19]

So tonight will be my last night on the stage[00:00:24]

This is my family's trade[00:00:31]

My father built this place[00:00:33]

At the turning of the twentieth century[00:00:36]

I have been working here[00:00:40]

For some fifty years[00:00:43]

But the young these days[00:00:46]

Are glued to TV screens[00:00:47]

And the old girl is dying on her feet[00:00:50]

Once more to the boards[00:00:59]

One more curtain call[00:01:01]

Give the crowd everything[00:01:04]

They're asking for and more[00:01:06]

Always make them laugh[00:01:09]

Try to make them cry[00:01:11]

Always take the stage like[00:01:13]

It's the last night of your life[00:01:15]

My friends from theatre school[00:01:26]

All thought I was a fool[00:01:28]

For leaving Shakespeare for the music hall[00:01:31]

And now my son's left home[00:01:36]

And set out on his own[00:01:38]

And the critics think we're quaint but set to fall[00:01:41]

But they've only seen the show from the stalls[00:01:46]

Once more to the boards[00:01:55]

One more curtain call[00:01:57]

Give the crowd everything[00:01:59]

They're asking for and more[00:02:02]

Always make them laugh[00:02:04]

Try to make them cry[00:02:06]

Always take the stage like[00:02:09]

It's the last night of your life[00:02:11]

And all the things[00:02:14]

I've seen behind these tattered seams[00:02:15]

And all the upturned faces[00:02:18]

With the lamplight in their eyes[00:02:20]

And each imperfect turn flickers as it burns[00:02:23]

Only lasts a moment but for me they'll never die[00:02:28]

We are respected[00:02:35]

We're not remembered[00:02:40]

We are the ghosts of Vaudeville[00:02:43]

Unnumbered[00:02:47]

We are the fathers of the halls[00:02:53]

Yeah but we'll never be famous[00:02:57]

We aren't just artists we are something more[00:03:01]

We're entertainers[00:03:05]

I smooth my thinning hair in a gilded mirror[00:03:27]

To try to hide the tell-signs of my age[00:03:32]

My name is Balthazar Impresario[00:03:37]

And tonight will be[00:03:42]

My last night on the stage[00:03:43]
