Intro
Verse 1
Showtime, Hang A Guitar On My Shoulder
Check The Vacant Drooling Faces Round The Room
Another Heartbreak Battle And I'm Only Getting Older
Jesus Help Me When I Say I'll Give It All Up Pretty Soon
Daytime, Time To Fight The Morning's Headache
Gulp An Aspirin Bang Together One More Song
Inspiration Cauterised By Years Of Useeless Heartache
Every Shallow Nights Reaction Sounding Twisted Up And Wrong
Chorus
These Last Years
Years Gone Down To The Showtime
Verse 2
Showtime, Try To Catch The Spark
That Got Me Hooked So Many Years Ago And Died
Second-Rate Musicians Feeding Infantile Illusions
Reading Music Magazines To Keep The Habit Satisfied
Pitching To Some Demographic Average
What The Hell He's Staying Home For, I Don't See Him Here Tonight
Thirteen Years And Over Tuned To Radio Between The Hours
Of Six And Seven-Thirty, Am Programmer's Delight
Chorus
These Last Years
Years Gone Down To The Showtime
Bridge
I Never Knew It Could Be So Misleading
Waiting For The Final Song To End
In This Dirty Nightclub All The Souls Are Bleeding
Reaching For The Big Decision, Disco Floor Or Television
Verse 3
Time And Time Again You Hear The So-Called Friends
The Smug De-Facto Critics In Their Movie Backdrop Cities
Sneering Sitdown And Listen, Life's A Lonely Escalator
It's A Fool Who Doesn't Know He Has To Leap Off At The End
Well They Were Never At The Guesthouse, With The Ghost Of Jimmy Rodgers
Watching Townsville Sugar Sunsets Back In 1959
And They'll All Be Gone When The End Is Come And I'm Kneeling In The Backroom
Crying Lord I'm Just A Trouper, Let Me Play It One More Time
Chorus
These Last Years
Years Gone Down To The Showtime
Outro
These Last Years
Years Gone Down To The Showtime
(Repeat And Fade)
