歌词

The end of the evenin', unable to cope
Unique entertainment no longer a joke
The close of the picture, the end of the show
Merciless torment, torturous blow
New lamps for old
Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth
Falsehood for truth
♪
The eye of the needle, the loss of the thread
Triumphant victor, glorious dead
The 'cause becomes duty, duty's the blow
Which kills the picture, death of the show
New lamps for old
Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth
Falsehood for truth
New, it's new lamps for old
Bright shiny gold
Ooh-ooh, it's new lamps for old
Yeah-yeah
What I'm sayin'
It's a new, it's a new, new lamps for old, uh-yeah
Give me some, somebody give me
It's a new lamps for old, uh-yeah

Thank you
Got Chris Copping comin' out with a banjo now
Anyway, this little one, um, little bit of a Russian flavour we always thought
But somebody else told us it was like a French café
And I think it's like some places that I've been to in Japan, that shall remain nameless
But anyway, we've got Chris Copping on the banjo
This is called "Beyond the Pale"
