《The Play’s the Thing》歌词

[00:00:24] How could he know so much

[00:00:32] How could he bear such knowledge

[00:00:37] How could he dare to write it in the plays

[00:00:48] What is it shakespeare'd say

[00:00:56] If he came back today

[00:01:04] Surely he'd recognize these mortal coils

[00:01:25] How do we carry on

[00:01:32] Noone knows where they fit in

[00:01:38] Noone knows who they are or where they've been

[00:01:48] What does the writer mean

[00:01:56] How do we play this scene

[00:02:03] What didn't shakespeare know that we do now

[00:02:12] Stiffen the sinews

[00:02:17] Wear hardfavour'd rage

[00:02:23] All history's drama

[00:02:28] The world is a stage

[00:02:36] There is a history in all men's lives

[00:02:39] Figuring the nature of the times deceas'd

[00:02:42] The which observ'd

[00:02:43] A man may prophesy

[00:02:46] With a near aim

[00:02:46] Of the main chance of things

[00:02:48] As yet not come to life

[00:02:50] Which in their seeds

[00:02:51] And weak beginnings lie intreasured

[00:03:00] Such things become the hatch and brood of time

[00:03:15] Oh

[00:03:16] But the show goes on

[00:03:23] On through the seven ages

[00:03:28] That of the world must mirror man's

[00:03:33] In fact

[00:03:39] Here comes the seventh act

[00:03:46] See how the mirror's cracked

[00:03:54] Here comes sans everything for humankind

[00:04:03] To capture the conscience

[00:04:08] Of nations and kings

[00:04:13] All history's drama

[00:04:19] The play's the thing

[00:04:29] The play's the thing

[00:04:34] The play's the thing

[00:04:41] How could he know so much
