Secret Theatre (Live) - Blair Dunlop
I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yeah I've seen a trick or two
But a common theme in deceiving
Machines is the point
Of which you see through
I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yea I've seen a trick or two
But as far as I know you only show
The things that make
You seem true
It's words were long and twisted
Like his shadow in the night
And as lucifer lit the lanterns
Shown over his pen in flight
Corpus was a century where
He first learned to spin the word
But beyond the walls lay riches
But his taste much preferred
I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yeah I've seen a trick or two
But a common theme in deceiving
Machines is the point
Of which you see through
I've seen a trick or two in my life
Yeah I've seen a trick or two
But as far as I know you only show
The things that make
You seem true
While singing came the calling
Inspired them to create
So we dropped the pen and he fled instead
Over the cambridge gates
A cool head on his shoulders
And if I pull easy hand
Corpus lay in the shadows
While it fought for the English brand
Come quick as the crimson pours
Face down in it every bar
But the slice of fries is blade
Seems to me to be all
Too bizarre
Either way the bill got paid
Then my little pain is due
And I'd have swallowed the whole damn lot
Had I not seen a trick or two
Some say he chanced his luck
The next day that ensured the bound
Venus and Adonis chance there's two
And headed back the other way around
Panning in the venetian sun
It's brown not even scarred
Almost as hard to believe
As the very notion of his drop foot bard
I've seen a trick or two in my life
I've seen a trick or two in my life
