《Balthazar， Impresario (Bonus)》歌词

[00:00:00] Balthazar Impresario (Bonus) - Frank Turner

[00:00:04] My name is Balthazar Impresario

[00:00:09] And you'll find me at the bottom of the page

[00:00:14] I have artist's hands

[00:00:16] Though I'm a working man

[00:00:19] But my craft has been forgotten by the age

[00:00:24] So tonight will be my last night on the stage

[00:00:31] This is my family's trade

[00:00:33] My father built this place

[00:00:36] At the turning of the twentieth century

[00:00:40] I have been working here

[00:00:43] For some fifty years

[00:00:46] But the young these days

[00:00:47] Are glued to TV screens

[00:00:50] And the old girl is dying on her feet

[00:00:59] Once more to the boards

[00:01:01] One more curtain call

[00:01:04] Give the crowd everything

[00:01:06] They're asking for and more

[00:01:09] Always make them laugh

[00:01:11] Try to make them cry

[00:01:13] Always take the stage like

[00:01:15] It's the last night of your life

[00:01:26] My friends from theatre school

[00:01:28] All thought I was a fool

[00:01:31] For leaving Shakespeare for the music hall

[00:01:36] And now my son's left home

[00:01:38] And set out on his own

[00:01:41] And the critics think we're quaint but set to fall

[00:01:46] But they've only seen the show from the stalls

[00:01:55] Once more to the boards

[00:01:57] One more curtain call

[00:01:59] Give the crowd everything

[00:02:02] They're asking for and more

[00:02:04] Always make them laugh

[00:02:06] Try to make them cry

[00:02:09] Always take the stage like

[00:02:11] It's the last night of your life

[00:02:14] And all the things

[00:02:15] I've seen behind these tattered seams

[00:02:18] And all the upturned faces

[00:02:20] With the lamplight in their eyes

[00:02:23] And each imperfect turn flickers as it burns

[00:02:28] Only lasts a moment but for me they'll never die

[00:02:35] We are respected

[00:02:40] We're not remembered

[00:02:43] We are the ghosts of Vaudeville

[00:02:47] Unnumbered

[00:02:53] We are the fathers of the halls

[00:02:57] Yeah but we'll never be famous

[00:03:01] We aren't just artists we are something more

[00:03:05] We're entertainers

[00:03:27] I smooth my thinning hair in a gilded mirror

[00:03:32] To try to hide the tell-signs of my age

[00:03:37] My name is Balthazar Impresario

[00:03:42] And tonight will be

[00:03:43] My last night on the stage
