《The Part We Have to Play》歌词

[00:00:00] The Part We Have To Play - Beau

[00:00:06] We joined the theatre company

[00:00:09] Before we learned to speak

[00:00:12] And swept the stage

[00:00:13] For a so-called wage

[00:00:15] And seven days a week

[00:00:18] The talented were hungry

[00:00:20] As they struggled to improve

[00:00:23] The talentless were quietly

[00:00:26] Rehearsing every move

[00:00:29] And we all knew

[00:00:31] The part we had to play

[00:00:35] We all knew the part we had to play

[00:00:41] The press reported sadly

[00:00:44] Across a tear-stained page

[00:00:47] Their ringing lies that eulogise

[00:00:50] The passing of the sage

[00:00:53] And the gathering

[00:00:54] Of the great and good

[00:00:56] The humble and the wise

[00:00:58] Will celebrate and seal

[00:01:01] An actor-managers demise

[00:01:04] And we all know the part

[00:01:07] We have to play

[00:01:10] We all know the part

[00:01:13] We have to play

[00:01:28] Beneath the wistful twilight

[00:01:31] In the cold and swirling cloud

[00:01:34] Where images are conjured

[00:01:37] And with magic are endowed

[00:01:40] The Grecians and the Avant-Gardes

[00:01:43] So violently crossed swords

[00:01:46] 'Til one arose as principal

[00:01:49] And Chairman of the Boards;

[00:01:52] Then we all knew

[00:01:53] The part we had to play

[00:01:58] We all knew the part we had to play

[00:02:04] And now the wind is blowing

[00:02:07] In the tragedy of death

[00:02:10] The cardboard castle still

[00:02:12] Maintains the story of Macbeth

[00:02:16] But all this plus integrity

[00:02:18] Is swiftly broken down

[00:02:21] When Duncan is a P T

[00:02:24] Barnum three-ring circus clown

[00:02:28] Who knows not the part

[00:02:30] He has to play

[00:02:34] Who knows not the part

[00:02:36] He has to play

[00:02:40] The Great Eccentric learns the lines

[00:02:43] He knows he has to rail;

[00:02:46] But ultimately starring

[00:02:49] In a very different tale

[00:02:52] He thanks you for your confidence

[00:02:55] And for playing by the rules

[00:02:58] You cannot understand

[00:03:00] The funny feeling we were fools

[00:03:05] And we all know

[00:03:06] The part we have to play

[00:03:11] We all know the part

[00:03:13] We have to play
