歌词
Travelling along on a really nice day
Don't you just love a-doing a touring play
I do like costumes
I love collaboration
I like big lights
Service stations!
The director giving me precise direction
Then I just do something that feels right!
It's about connection!
Theatre's a temple
With every soul
Gathering together
With the same goal:
To look at me
To look at me
To look at me
To look at me
I mean 'art'
We're loose from our tether
We're travelling together
To put on a show that
Everyone will love!
Ladies and gentlemen, we present Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband
Starring the Marquis of Anglesey as the ideal husband
And Mr Alexander Keith as a non-ideal husband
Curtain up!
How do you think it went?
How d'you think it went?
How do you think it went?
You first
Okay, I think it's the first week
I think we're all still tired from rehearsal
But other than that it went well!
It went well, it went well!
I think they liked it
That lady with the notebook was a bit distracting
I think I stared at her in basically all of my acting
Was there something just a little unexciting?
Even with the haze effects and all of that lighting?
But trying to second guess the audience is tough
Maybe it just wasn't fabulous enough
Oh well
You can't please everybody all the time
Travelling along on a pretty nice day
Don't you just love a-doing a touring play
I like the smell of the stage and the backdrop -
And the sky!
I love being paid to make strangers cry
The ducking and diving, the rolling with punches
The feeling aliveing!
Unionised lunches!
We're riffing some changes
Living on the edge!
Responding to feedback!
I just drove in a hedge!
Never mind! Because we're
Light as a feather
We're travelling together
To put on a show that
Everyone will love
We present a searing adaptation of Oscar Wilde's masterpiece:
'An Eye dot Deal forward slash Husb AND?'
Starring Mr Alexander Keith as the ideal husband
And the Marquis of Anglesey as Crystal, the family dog
Curtain up!
How do you think it went?
How d'you think it went?
How do you think it went?
You first
Okay, I think it's like
Week five, and we're all feeling some fatigue now
But accounting for that
It went well!
It went well, it went well!
No it was good I thought
I'm not sure they really "got" it
You're right, more glitter, I will enter by rocket
And ten more mirrorballs, I want total immersion
And a sub-plot about a butterfly who thinks he's a person
No sleep tonight, they've gotta love our guts!
Scripts out people, 'cause we're making some cuts
'Cause you should please everybody all the time
Travelling along on a... day
Don't you just love a-doing a touring play?
I love the cameraderie!
I love it when people actually hit their cues
"I love it when people actually hit their cues"
Excuse me, I'm right here
I love the pub
Thank you
This used to be my hobby
I don't have a hobby anymore
And when the audience comes in
And they don't know what to expect
And they see you
And if they like you, you win
And if they don't like you?
They win
And thus we're
Working together
Hell for leather
To put on a show
That they have got to love!
Ladies and gentlemen, we present:
'An Ideal Dog'
A tone poem in seventeen identical stanzas
Starring Mr Alexander Keith as the emotional backdrop
And the Marquis of Anglesey in the key and titular role of Crystal
Curtain up!
How do you think it went?
How d'you think it went?
How do you think it went?
You first
Okay well, some of them stayed, which I thought was interesting
And of course we're near the end of the tour now, so we're all really tired, but
That was disgusting
Awful
Really?
Oh not us, dear boy!
We were quite fine
There's only so much you can do to pander to an audience
Quite right, I think
Some people just find non-clappy forms of emotional release
And even then, I'd rather die than make
A non-Marmite piece
I really think tonight the fault was theirs
And I like that bit with the lighty-up stairs
But it's not our place to give an easy laugh
You've got to separate the wheat from the chaff
'Cause you can't please everybody all the time
Whatcha say?
You can't please everybody
And maybe you shouldn't please anybody
'Cause you can't please everybody all the time
And that's fine
