THE SHOW MUST GO ON (in album This Is My — текст песни (Carly Simon)

(Carly Simon)

Some folks like to stay at home
Some folks like to be alone
So when they finally come out of their nest
I`ve got to turn it on
I`ve got to be my best
The street may be slick with ice
And I`m sick with butterflies
And some other girl may be the talk of the town
I could lose my voice
Or I could split my gown

But when I`m in the spotlight
It`s got to be a hot night
Even when I`m feeling down
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on

I`ve won some and I have lost
But what I enjoy the most
Is never knowing how the evening will end
Will I be the joke or the comedienne

And when I`m in the spotlight
It`s got to be a hot night

Even when I`m shivering cold
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on

Repeat to end.

Background answers:
Even in a hurricane
Your contact lens goes down the drain
When your agent goes insane
When you can hardly stay awake
You`d rather stay at home and bake
When you`ve got a tummy-ache
To an audience of one
And you think he`s got a gun
When laughing isn`t any fun
You want to watch the end of жЏ…heers?
