Hand me my costume
Please won't you pass me my mask
I have appointments that I must keep with my past
Bring on the cabaret we can all have a laugh
I've made the theatre of the absurd
At last
Drink up and let's go home
The demon is on the phone
He's playing a dialing tone
So drink up and let's go home
Orchestrations of a different nature
Arrangements that I've made to end it all
Years and years of love all turned to paper
Dancing at the old musicians ball
And these beauty secrets that I've kept so long
Have slightly faded like my old blue jeans
But read them now because before too long
They could fall apart at every seam
Play me my music
Please won't you warm up the band
It's my performance although nothing is planned
Turn on the spotlight
We can pretend there's a stage
I'll be your hero only as long as I'm paid.
Drink up and let's go home
(You're such a naughty boy)
The demon is on the phone
(He's got a special toy)
He's playing a dialing tone
(A thing to bring you joy)
So drink up and let's go home
The lyrics BEAUTY SECRETS of BE BOP DELUXE is also present in the album Sunburst finish
Be-Bop Deluxe è stata una band inglese di rock progressivo attiva tra la metà e la fine degli anni '70. Fondata da Bill Nelson, il gruppo ha raggiunto un discreto successo commerciale e grande acclamazione dalla critica per il suo sound innovativo che mescolava elementi di glam rock, art rock e musica elettronica. Il loro stile musicale era caratterizzato da riff chitarristici potenti, melodie orecchiabili e testi spesso introspettivi e fantasiosi. Tra i brani più noti del gruppo figurano "Ships in the Night", "The Man Who Saw Through Time" e "Sunburst Finish". Be-Bop Deluxe ha pubblicato cinque album in studio prima di sciogliersi nel 1978, lasciando un'eredità significativa nella storia del rock progressivo. Bill Nelson continua a produrre musica oggi.
