A Morality Play
(专辑: Showbusiness! - 1994)
People would have to be told that if they refuse to answer questions when they might be expected to answer questions, that is something which can be used at the
trial and which might strengthen the
case against them. Hang Michael Howard, oh c'mon... Act one, the
smell of green leather, French polish, quite pristine, not a
hair out of place, not a
wrinkle, not a
crease, the
silverware all clean. Exquisite chaussures grace marble floors, be upstanding, for men of yore. But wait, who's this, sticky under the
collar in Elsinore? Enter silent comedy geek with dynamite down his pants. Nervous, shuffling on his feet, leading a
merry song and dance. A
back seat driver of good moral fibre, holding up the
light. He's made his own bed, now he's got to lie in it. Ho hum, it serves him right. Act three, 'I am the
lord of the
dance,' said he. John the
Baptist, dripping wet, playing sir politick-would-be. Backslapping, backsliding, back to basic instincts, backfiring. By your own choice you're on a
hiding to nothing, I
ask you which is more comforting? The
thought that I
am bad seed, gone to seed, turned sour by TV sex and violence. Or even worse, am I
unleashed by my own volition to do you ill? 'Condemn a
little more, understand a
little less.' Oh sad sir, thou jest! Ha ha! I
am Prometheus, prepare thee to meet thy nemesis. Thanks a
lot
