Theatre Of The Absurd - Ian Hunter

My tea turned seven shades darker

As I sit 'n' write these words

And London’s gettin' paler

In my theatre of the absurd

You figured for an evening

And you made it all worthwile

It’s seldom people have a job

And even rarer that I smile

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Teach your children to be them

And never ever ours

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Someone took the park away

But they left a lonely flower

And if your songs be classics

Throw them to the hurd

Truth is where they came from

And not this theatre of the absurd

Some say you wanted to play for me

But it’s only what you’ve heard

That made you want to capture me

In your theatre of the absurd

It was not me, I said myself

And you must do so, too

I hope you have the strength to stay

When I’ll be watchin' you

So baby

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Teach your children to be them

And never ever ours

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Someone took the park away

But they left a lonely flower

Oh when I got here back home tonight

Something within me stirred

Oh it must have been a different kind of play

That touched my theatre of the absurd

Now I’ll be on my way alone

But an interesting thing occurred

See nobody ever shared too much

In my theatre of the absurd

And there I was back in London

Thought about history

It was just like being in school again

But I felt something movin' in me

Hearin' just a bit of the future

Oh it’s comin' and it’s still blurred

And that’s the only thing worth living for

In my theatre of the absurd

Come on

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Teach your children to be them

And never ever ours

Oh play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Someone took the park away

But they left a lonely flower

(Beautiful)

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

(John, come on)

Play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power

Oh, play me some, (Come on, Eric) play me some

Play me Brixton power

Oh, play me some, play me some

Play me Brixton power
