Stephen Hague - The Theatre lyrics

(Yeah!) It's another world here The streets are gleaming I was even dreaming That they're paved with gold Seventeen, at half past ten All the crowds are surging past An electric display There's another world here Below shop windows Upon the pavement Where you wave goodbye Boys and girls Come to roost From Northern parts And Scottish towns Will we catch your eye? While you pretend not to notice All the years we've been here We're the bums you step over As you leave the Theatre (Yeah) It's another world here Somebody is singing (Yeah) I was only wishing For a bit of cash From a patron of the arts Or at least the Phantom of the Opera Will I catch your eye? While you pretend not to notice All the years we've been here We're the bums you step over As you leave the Theatre (Yeah) (Yeah) (Ha ha ha ha...) (Everybody!) Pavarotti in the park Then you walked back up the Strand Did you catch my eye? And then pretend not to notice All the years we've been here We're the bums you step over As you leave the Theatre (Yeah) (Yeah) In the end, you pretend 'Cause it's so much easier We're the bums you step over As you leave the Theatre (Yeah) We're the bums you step over As you leave the Theatre (Yeah)
