 My tea turned seven shades darker
 As I sit 'n' write these words
 And london's gettin' paler
 In my theatre of the absurd.
 You figured for an evening
 And you made it all worthwile.
 It's seldom people have a job
 And even rarer that I smile.
 
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Teach your children to be them
 And never ever ours.
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Someone took the park away
 But they left a lonely flower.
 
 And if your songs be classics,
 Throw them to the hurd.
 Truth is where they came from
 And not this theatre of the absurd.
 Some say you wanted to play for me
 But it's only what you've heard
 That made you want to capture me
 In your theatre of the absurd.
 It was not me, I said myself
 And you must do so, too.
 I hope you have the strength to stay
 When I'll be watchin' you.
 
 So baby,
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Teach your children to be them
 And never ever ours.
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Someone took the park away
 But they left a lonely flower.
 
 Oh when I got here back home tonight
 Something within me stirred.
 Oh it must have been a different kind of play
 That touched my theatre of the absurd.
 Now I'll be on my way alone
 But an interesting thing occurred
 See nobody ever shared too much
 In my theatre of the absurd.
 And there I was back in london,
 Thought about history.
 It was just like being in school again
 But I felt something movin' in me.
 Hearin' just a bit of the future,
 Oh it's comin' and it's still blurred
 And that's the only thing worth living for
 In my theatre of the absurd.
 
 Come on,
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Teach your children to be them
 And never ever ours.
 Oh play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Someone took the park away
 But they left a lonely flower.
 
 (beautiful)
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 (john, come on)
 Play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Oh, play me some, (come on, eric) play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
 Oh, play me some, play me some,
 Play me brixton power.
