After The Show - Peter Hammill

He made a bit of money

That’s something you might like to know…

He’ll be drinking in the cafe on the corner

After the show

He’s been so many people

He wore them all like poisoned vests

Still playing the soliloquy from Hamlet

Close to his chest

Where do the actors go after the show?

Where do the actors go?

He had his hour of glory

That’s something you should keep in mind…

When he’s drinking in the cafe on the corner

There’s no sense of time

Just waiting on for Godot

Convinced he’s been here years before…

He’s taken that philosophy in German

Square on the jaw

Where do the actors go after the show?

Where do the actors go?

He made a bit of money

That’s something you might like to know;

He’ll be drinking in the cafe on the corner

After the show

Where do the actors go after the show?

Where do the actors go?
