Barclay James Harvest Welcome To The Show Lyrics

Welcome To The Show Lyrics

(Les Holroyd)

 we can't all be right
 we can't all be wrong
 it's a long journey
 we travel on
 gypsies of the night
 riders of the storm
 though it's heartbreaking
 we must go on

 wrong place
 wrong face
 somewhere on the road
 keep playing
 and saying
 welcome to the show

 those who laugh the first
 must cry later they say
 as the stage curtain
 brings on the girls
 and they surely do well
 for the politicians sell them
 on t.v. today
 makes me uncertain
 of who runs the world

 wrong place
 wrong face
 somewhere on the road
 keep playing
 and saying
 welcome to the show

 my friends, all the trends
 that have gone
 are as one
 in the minds of today
 with their eyes open
 they can't see the signs
 and the moment belongs
 to the video songs
 leading nowhere at all
 and the fools talking
 the blind lead the blind

 wrong place
 wrong face
 somewhere on the road
 keep playing
 and saying
 welcome to the show

 we started something
 now we can't get away from it all
