lirik lagu backstage at the ballroom – the granite shore
[verse 1: singer]
they’ll be backstage at the ballroom and gathered all around
lining up to cheer us from the wings
with a galaxy of disco lights and a system for the sound
we shall speak of many wondrous things
[bridge 1: singer]
in a tired red tuxedo and a pair of platform shoes
i’ll saunter on and head for centre stage
though you, my brothers, may not be the hired hands i’d choose
together we’ll put heaven in a rage
[chorus 1: band]
“you all know all the words, at least you used to…
you know how it goes, we wrote this for you”
[verse 2: singer]
though we seemed to come a long way in the blinking of an eye
for you it was no distance back at all
though you had a taste of glory and you kept my powder dry
at least you were invited to the ball
[bridge 2: singer]
i’d go and give them p-ssion, i’d show them how it’s done
out there in the middle of the park
in fur-lined coat, no microphone, i’d hit the notes for fun
floodlights off and singing in the dark
[chorus 2: band]
“you know all the words, at least you used to…
you know how it goes, we wrote this for you
we gave you a sense of where you belong;
you never believed it was only a song”
[middle: singer]
so backstage at the ballroom, with our favourite engineer
all the press we ever used to know
a&r, producers and the management are here
turning off the lights after the show
[bridge 3: singer]
the wings may well be buzzing, then again they always did
now’s the time to go and do our stuff
this could be our one last chance, our very final bid
let’s go out now and see if that’s enough
[chorus 4: band]
“you all know the words, at least you used to…
you know how it goes, we wrote this for you”
[chorus 4: singer]
of course you’ve moved on, changes need ringing
if it was just a phase, why are you singing?
we gave you a sense which you haven’t outgrown;
you still need to know you are not alone
[chorus 4: audience]:
“we know all the words, at least we used to…
we know how it goes, we learned this from you”
