[length: 21:36]
[03:31.32]”Do you still see me even here?”
[03:36.79](The silver cord lies on the ground.)
[03:42.17]”And so I’m dead”, the young man said
[03:51.25]Over the hill (not a wish away).
[03:57.54]My friends (as one) all stand aligned
[04:05.61]Although their taxis came too late.
[04:11.15]There was / a rush along the Fulham Road.
[04:19.20]There was / a hush in the Passion Play.
[04:38.28]Such a sense of glowing in the aftermath
[04:44.57]Ripe with rich attainments all imagined
[04:51.78]Sad misdeeds in disarray
[04:56.24]The sore thumb screams aloud,
[05:01.68]Echoing out of the Passion Play.
[05:08.92]All the old familiar es come crowding in a different key…
[05:21.55]Melodies decaying in sweet dissonance.
[05:29.86]There was a rush along the Fulham Road
[05:38.01]Into the Ever-passion Play.
[06:54.75]And who comes here to wish me well?
[07:02.95]A sweetly-scented angel fell.
[07:11.03]She laid her head upon my disbelief
[07:17.38]And bathed me with her ever-smile.
[07:25.44]And with a howl across the sand
[07:32.79]I go escorted by a band of gentlemen in leather bound
[07:48.02]NO-ONE (but someone to be found).
[09:57.24]All along the icy wastes there are faces smiling in the gloom.
[09:58.18]Roll up roll down, Feeling unwound? Step into the viewing room.
[09:59.05]The cameras were all around.We’ve got you taped you’re in the play.
[09:59.93]Here’s your I.D. (Ideal for identifying one and all.)
[10:09.83]Invest your life in the memory bank ours the interest and we thank you.
[10:23.49]The ice-cream lady wets her drawers, to see you in the passion play.
[13:00.55]Take the prize for instant pleasure, captain of the cricket team
[13:06.95]Public speaking in all weathers, a knighthood from a queen.
[13:35.87]All your best friends’ telephones never cooled from the heat of your hand.
[13:48.42]There’s a line in a front-page story, 13 horses that also-ran.
[14:13.71]Climb in your old umbrella. Does it have a nasty tear in the dome?
[14:26.41]But the rain only gets in sometimes and the sun never leaves you alone,
[14:38.14]You alone, you alone, you alone, you alone, you alone.
[16:13.06]Lover of the black and white it’s your first night.
[16:13.92]The Passion Play, goes all the way, spoils your insight.
[16:14.82]Tell me how the baby’s made, how the lady’s laid,
[16:17.53]Why the old dog howls in sadness.
[16:22.01]And your little sister’s immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders
[16:26.57]Of a young horse named George who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision.
[16:33.72](The examining body examined her body.)
[16:44.63]Actor of the low-high Q, let’s hear your view.
[16:51.83]Peek at the lines upon your sleeves since your memory won’t do.
[16:58.18]Tell me: how the baby’s graded, how the lady’s faded,
[17:05.36]Why the old dogs howl with madness.
[17:58.70]All of this and some of that’s the only way to skin the cat.
[18:12.14]And now you’ve lost a skin or two, you’re for us and we for you.
[18:29.39]The dressing room is right behind, We’ve got you taped, you’re in the play.
[18:34.77]How does it feel to be in the play?
[18:38.38]How does it feel to play the play?
[18:41.98]How does it feel to be the play?
[18:51.81]Man of passion rise again, we won’t cross you out…
[18:58.23]For we do love you like a son, of that there’s no doubt.
[19:05.47]Tell us: is it you who are here for our good cheer?
[19:12.66]Or are we here for the glory, for the story, for the gory satisfaction
[19:22.66]Of telling you how absolutely awful you really are?
[20:02.32]There was / a rush along the Fulham Road.
[20:12.24]There was / a hush in the Passion Play.
