No Rehearsal - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]
Written by:Ian Anderson[00:00:00]
Did you learn your lines today[00:00:17]
Well there is no rehearsal[00:00:21]
The tickets have all been sold[00:00:25]
For tomorrow's matinee[00:00:29]
There's a telegram from the writer[00:00:33]
But there is no rehearsal[00:00:37]
The electrician has been told[00:00:41]
To make the spotlights brighter[00:00:45]
There's one seat in the circle[00:00:49]
Five hundred million in the stalls[00:00:52]
Simply everyone will be there[00:00:57]
But the safety curtain falls[00:01:01]
When the bomb that's in the dressing room[00:01:05]
Blows the windows from their frames[00:01:10]
And the prompter in his corner[00:01:14]
Is sorry that he came[00:01:18]
There's one seat in the circle[00:03:24]
Five hundred million in the stalls[00:03:26]
Simply everyone will be there[00:03:27]
But the safety curtain falls[00:03:29]
When the bomb that's in the dressing room[00:03:31]
Blows the windows from their frames[00:03:33]
And the prompter in his corner[00:03:35]
Is sorry that he came[00:03:37]
When the bomb that's in the dressing room[00:03:41]
Blows the windows from their frames[00:03:45]
And the prompter in his corner[00:03:49]
Is sorry that he came[00:03:54]
Did you learn your lines today[00:03:58]
Well there is no rehearsal[00:04:01]
The interval will last[00:04:06]
Until the ice cream lady melts away[00:04:07]
The twelve piece orchestra are here[00:04:14]
But there is no rehearsal[00:04:18]
The first violinist's hands are chilled[00:04:21]
He's gone deaf in both ears[00:04:25]
Well the scenery is colourful[00:04:28]
But the paint is so damn thin[00:04:33]
You see the wall behind is crumbling[00:04:36]
And the stage door is bricked in[00:04:41]
But the audience keep arriving 'till[00:04:45]
They're standing in the wings[00:04:50]
And we take the final curtain call[00:04:53]
And the ceiling crashes in[00:04:57]
