The Minstrels Gallery Songtext
von Fast Trains

Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
It′s a lot of fun
Not a deal of money to go round
Pick off every crumb
But it could be worse, in a 9-5 curse
So let's fix that frown
′Cos up here in The Minstrels Gallery
It's best to not look down

Take a seat the show is starting
A human play
Where all the rich folk steal and run away
The impression of a party
Us minstrels play
While your chance of escape is sold and washed away


Back up in The Minstrels Gallery
Such a heavy sound
As our hard earned pennies start to drop
Traded by the pound
But it could be worse, sat in Daddy's purse
In a seaside town
Where all the fiddles stitch into the cloth
Of the Lord Mayor′s gown

Act 2: A centre parting
′Cos come what may
You have to pick a side to have a say
The impression of a party
Us minstrels play
While your chance of escape is sold and washed away
Is washed away
So let the minstrels play!

Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
Come and join The Minstrels Gallery
