One More Matinee Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

Mark knopfler - one more matinee 

Here's one of the two of us 

in 1954 don't laugh 

i keep all of the pictures 

are you going to take a photograph 

here's something nice for you 

a dear old thing came to a show 

last time here we did 

an interview on local radio 

Make yourself at home my darling 

come on in 

hand me down that jar love 

can i offer you a gin 

We're proud to be the oldest 

ugly sisters in variety 

there's not the glamour now you see 

what happened to society 

there's another light bulb gone 

they don't all answer to the switch 

i don't know how we carry on 

and her she couldn't care the bitch 

But in a while the old boys 

in the band begin to play 

and in a while the houselights 

and the curtains slide away 

And something's going to happen 

to make your whole life better 

your whole life better one day 

something's going to happen 

to make your whole life better 

your whole life better one day 

Now the landlady's all squared away 

it's just a temporary deal 

i'm afraid tonight it's take-away 

you see there is no evening meal 

don't worry dear you shall go to the ball 

i think the fairy said 

these suitcases have seen it all 

from under someone else's bed 

You want to smile those tears away 

now don't you cry 

you want to know what i say 

i say never say die 

'cos something's going to happen 

to make your whole life better 

your whole life better one day 

something's going to happen 

to make your whole life better 

your whole life better one day
