about

Side two, track five

lyrics

[Singer]
There are some things set in stone
And it’s best if they’re left well alone
Our positions marked, the hierarchy set.
All the ghosts have joined us too;
The ideas, the songs, the people who
We all left behind, well have they caught us yet?

[Band]
Be that as it may;
You must still have something left to say…
[Singer]
I’m not sure that I do…
Though there were moments when I felt
The earth move and the ice caps melt
Though we sometimes seemed held in place by twine
Even then I never knew
If it the rest of you could feel it too
Or if the only blood that
ever thrilled was mine
[Band]
But be that as it may;
Someone has to count us off and
You know none of us can stay
But be that as it may
This could be our one last chance…
[Singer]
Okay!
Once more from the top…
[Band]
Be that as it may;
It’s cold in here and won’t get warmer…
[Singer]
…sometime even I’ll go grey
[Band]
But be that as it may
We fought like cats and dogs…
[Singer]
But we are family, especially when we play
[Band]
Be that as it may
The good we’ve done just might live on
[Singer]
…and God but we were good, on our day
[Band]
Be that as it may
Of course we used to feel it just as you did…
[Singer]
…well, that’s something anyway
[Band]
But be that as it may
The time…
[Singer]
…I know!
[Band]
…is now upon us…
[Singer]
We’re all stuff and nonsense
[Band]
So you say!
[Singer]
But be that as it may
[Band]
You wrote our lines
[Singer]
Yes, they were mine
[Band]
And we were only
Actors in your play
[All]
Be that as it may
[Band]
Our little live performance…
[Singer]
Oh yes
[Band]
Come on...
[Singer]
Once more from the top
[All]
Just play!
