The Part We Have To Play - Beau[00:00:00]

We joined the theatre company[00:00:06]

Before we learned to speak[00:00:09]

And swept the stage[00:00:12]

For a so-called wage [00:00:13]

And seven days a week[00:00:15]

The talented were hungry[00:00:18]

As they struggled to improve [00:00:20]

The talentless were quietly[00:00:23]

Rehearsing every move[00:00:26]

And we all knew[00:00:29]

The part we had to play [00:00:31]

We all knew the part we had to play [00:00:35]

The press reported sadly[00:00:41]

Across a tear-stained page[00:00:44]

Their ringing lies that eulogise[00:00:47]

The passing of the sage [00:00:50]

And the gathering[00:00:53]

Of the great and good [00:00:54]

The humble and the wise [00:00:56]

Will celebrate and seal[00:00:58]

An actor-managers demise [00:01:01]

And we all know the part[00:01:04]

We have to play [00:01:07]

We all know the part[00:01:10]

We have to play [00:01:13]

Beneath the wistful twilight[00:01:28]

In the cold and swirling cloud [00:01:31]

Where images are conjured[00:01:34]

And with magic are endowed [00:01:37]

The Grecians and the Avant-Gardes[00:01:40]

So violently crossed swords[00:01:43]

'Til one arose as principal[00:01:46]

And Chairman of the Boards;[00:01:49]

Then we all knew[00:01:52]

The part we had to play [00:01:53]

We all knew the part we had to play [00:01:58]

And now the wind is blowing[00:02:04]

In the tragedy of death [00:02:07]

The cardboard castle still[00:02:10]

Maintains the story of Macbeth [00:02:12]

But all this plus integrity [00:02:16]

Is swiftly broken down[00:02:18]

When Duncan is a P T [00:02:21]

Barnum three-ring circus clown[00:02:24]

Who knows not the part[00:02:28]

He has to play [00:02:30]

Who knows not the part[00:02:34]

He has to play [00:02:36]

The Great Eccentric learns the lines[00:02:40]

He knows he has to rail;[00:02:43]

But ultimately starring[00:02:46]

In a very different tale [00:02:49]

He thanks you for your confidence [00:02:52]

And for playing by the rules [00:02:55]

You cannot understand[00:02:58]

The funny feeling we were fools [00:03:00]

And we all know[00:03:05]

The part we have to play [00:03:06]

We all know the part[00:03:11]

We have to play[00:03:13]
