About the Artist
Lyrics
[Start from Take 1.] [Verse 1] The diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh To a handsome mannered baton [Verse 2] A blind class aristocracy Back through the opera glass you see The pit and the pendulum drawn [Bridge] Columnated ruins domino! [Verse 3] Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn [Verse 4] The music hall a costly bow The music all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter swan [Bridge] Columnated ruins domino Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping, Brother John? [Verse 5] Dove nested towers the hour was Strike the street quicksilver moon Carriage across the fog Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune [Verse 6] The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne The glass was raised, the fired rose The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting While at port adieu or die [Verse 7] A choke of grief heart hardened, I Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry [Verse 8] Surf's Up, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Aboard a tidal wave Come about hard and join The young and often spring you gave I heard the word Wonderful thing A children's song... [Instrumental with wordless vocals] [I think he has to pause the whole thing.]
