Jethro Tull - No Rehearsal Lyrics
Did you learn your lines today?Well, there is no rehearsal.The tickets have all been soldFor tomorrows matinee.Theres a telegram from the writer,But there is no rehearsal.The electrician has been toldTo make the spotlights brighter.There is one seat in the circle--Five hundred million in the stalls.Simply everyone will be there,But the safety curtain fallsWhen the bomb thats in the dressing roomBlows the windows from their frames.And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came.There is one seat in the circle--Five hundred million in the stalls.Simply everyone will be thereBut the safety curtain fallsWhen the bomb thats in the dressing roomBlows the windows from their frames.And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came.When the bomb thats in the dressing roomBlows the windows from their frames.And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came.Did you learn your lines today?Well there is no rehearsal.The interval will last untilThe ice-cream lady melts away.The twelve piece orchestra are here,But there is no rehearsal.The first violinists hands are chilled--Hes gone deaf in both ears.Well, the scenery is colorful,But the paint is so damn thin.You see the wall behind is crumbling,And the stage door is bricked in.But the audience keep arrivingtil theyre standing in the wings.And we take the final curtain call,And the ceiling crashes in.
