about

A song about those who like to make a drama out of a crisis...

lyrics

In a dark, dark house, On a dark, dark hill,
In a dark, dark room you'll find him, waiting 'til
All the dark ruminations in his dark, dark heart,
Keep him running 'round in circles 'til he's
Right back at the start.
Left alone to his devices and a stack of alcohol,
He keeps digging at himself until he's swallowed by the hole,
He don't need your observations, he won't heed your good advice,
He prefers to play the victim in these tradgedies he writes.
He requires a captive audience each day
To get the best from his perfrormance as he steps out on the stage.

If you wanna get down you can depend on me
And if you're coming around just bring your sympathy
Come on in and enjoy, The Show Of Me

On a dark December on a dark, dark night
She resolved to put an end to this, and went looking for a fight,
So she showed him all the scars upon her bright, bright heart
Told him reaching out to someone else, would be the perfect place to start
Then she tore down all the curtains, flung the doors and windows wide,
And she turned on all the lights so he'd have nowhere left to hide,
But he slipped into the shadows and they fit him like a glove
Then she realised her best intentions weren't good enough.
So she decided to come back another day
'Cos you can only help the helpless when they're ready to be saved

If you wana get down you can depend on me
And if you're coming around just bring your sympathy
it's an opera of self-inflicted misery
Come on in and enjoy, The Show Of Me
Welcome to the show of me
Yeah, Welcome to the show of me

In a dark, dark house, On a dark, dark hill,
In a dark, dark room you'll find him, waiting stil

If you wana get down you can depend on me
And if you're coming around just bring your sympathy
it's an opera of self-inflicted misery
Come on in and enjoy, The Show Of Me
Welcome to the show of me
Yeah, Welcome to the show of me
