Sancho
I'm not up for tonight Sancho,
But you know that the show will go on
So we ride tonight Sancho
To another glorious victory of song
It's a confidence game you know
They'll come along to see a man that believes in himself
So bring the rubber walls won't you
We might not be back this way and no-one should miss out
We'll slay all the heathens and first you'll
Blind them with the perfect delay
Then the hits and the memories
From the 90s and the noughties and today
I need smoke and mirrors, Gaffage and Clink
Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
When their flags are lowered
A five minute call for the knights to depart
Leave those two mooks behind won't you?
They're social, excitable, and they're always the last
Sing Steely Dan with the boys in the back row
I don't get it myself but y'all have a ball
The Colonel has Clinkage
A bag of fine bounty for winos
Just one hundred clicks, may's well get out and walk
Love, it's cruel on the ladies
You've seen the looks in their eyes
Is that Dulcinea there the loading dock dancer?
And implacable you
In the driver's seat raising your brow
I need smoke and mirrors, Gaffage and Clink
Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
You'll get three hours tonight Sancho
Before you might need to be assisting the Artist to pack
Pour him in the carriage
We need six weeks by six shows a week with all members intact
We'll save all the heathens and first you'll
Blind them with a perfect EQ
Then you'll pass me your implement because you
Hope for the sake of the show
That I got some glue for you
I need smoke and mirrors, Gaffage and Clink
Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
I need smoke and mirrors, Gaffage and Clink
Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
There's a wombat-shaped hole in the sky tonight...
But you know that the show will go on
So we ride tonight Sancho
To another glorious victory of song
It's a confidence game you know
They'll come along to see a man that believes in himself
So bring the rubber walls won't you
We might not be back this way and no-one should miss out
We'll slay all the heathens and first you'll
Blind them with the perfect delay
Then the hits and the memories
From the 90s and the noughties and today
I need smoke and mirrors, Gaffage and Clink
Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
When their flags are lowered
A five minute call for the knights to depart
Leave those two mooks behind won't you?
They're social, excitable, and they're always the last

Love, it's cruel on the ladies

Opera House Al on the lights
And when the Big Man starts dancing out in the front
Then you know it's going alright
There's a wombat-shaped hole in the sky tonight...
