Is it a warning?
Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people
who have lost their mind?
Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend
leaving you behind?
Is it a bad day
for human kind?
Is it a prophet
with a one track mind?
Is it a finish?
Is it a fearful find?
Is it the center
as your world unwinds?
And if I can't hear the music
And the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.
And there she goes
And there she goes
And is it evil?
Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realize
you'd better get out quick?
And is it envy
Or pride that makes them vain?
Did you give your all
But you're only small
And now your body's drained?
This is never gonna stop.
They will never let you go.
You're in a rush.
They don't care enough.
Cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on.
Too long to fake your smile.
But then you sold your soul for a leading role
So wear it for a while.
And if I can't hear the music
And the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.
And there she goes
And there she goes
So 'round you'll see me run
Cause Billy's got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
Cause it's strange and new
And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.
And there she goes
And there she goes
So round you'll see me run
'Cause Billy's got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
Cause it's strange and new
So 'round you'll see me run
Cause Billy's got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
Cause its strange and new
And if I cant hear the music
And the audience is gone
Ill dance..
James Blunt'ın 1973'ün üzerine klibini çekmesini dilediğim şarkısı. "eğer müziği duyamazsam, ve seyirciler gittiyse, ben de buraya tek başıma dans ederim" diyerek Billy şarkısının devamını yazdığı, modern zamanın eskitilmiş şarkılarındandır. Her ne kadar romantik bir iki şarkısı ile arabesk söylediğini dile getirseler bile, bu ve bunun gibi şarkıları ile hayata dair çok tatlı şarkılar yapabildiğini göstermiştir.
