Theatre Of The Absurd Lyrics - Ian Hunter

(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.
