lyrics

The Play June 2000


Why must we live our lives in a play?
Why cant we live for each other, now and forever everyday?

Scene One, boy meets girl - says shes the best thing in the world
Scene Two, their first kiss - a promise of a life of bliss
Scene Three, back seat of car - he wants to see just how far
She’ll Go, but be back soon - back in time for the honeymoon


Why must we live our lives in a play?
Why cant we live for each other, now and forever everyday?
Why must we live our lives in a play?
Why cant we live for each other, now and forever everyday?

Scene Four, suburbia, surround sound and a company car
Scene 5, maternity wing - the perfect family in full swing
Scene 6, a cheap hotel - a one night stand, her defences fell
Back home , the kid’s upstairs - he has his way with the young au pair


CHORUS (repeat)

M8 - Scene 7 & 8 I cant relate the fights blend into one
If only one of them could see that the only one they’re hurting is themselves

Scene 9, the fade out shot - like wooden actors they’ve lost the plot
Scene 10, the credits roll, I’d like to thank my heart and my soul

CHORUS (double)
