Paroles de Beating the Boards

I've been drivin' out back in a 10 ton Mack, eating dust from the central we-est

And if I ain't been spendin' all my money, then at least I've been doin' my be-est

They went and took away all the cameras and drunk up all my champa-agne
And roll me over right, into Saturday night, it started all over agai-ain



But oh-oh, that's beating the boards, oh-oh, that's beating the boards

Facing the Lor-ord, we're beating the boards again



And then you walk inside all bleary-eyed

And you're ready just to lie in a heap

And you don't even think about the two-quid drinks

Or the hours that you just couldn't sleep

And then some guy's wife wants an autograph
Help me through the show agai-ain



But oh-oh, that's beating the boards, oh-oh, that's beating the boards

Facing the Lord, we're beating the boar-oards again

They're layin' out on the floor (Oh-oh that's beating the boards)

Yelling for more-ore (Oh-oh that's beating the boards)

Oh facing the Lord, they're beating the boar-oards again and agai-ain



You're out on the stage again tonight with nothin' but yourself on the li-i-ine

And you're singin' songs abou-out heated nights, singin' songs and we'll all hold tight

There's music, there's emotion, there's a curtain callin' your na-a-a-ame

The play is settin', your nerves growin' tight - said, Oh, it's all the price of fame...

Oh facing the Lord, we're beating the boar-oards again and again and



When you sing the song, it don't take too long to work out all of the si-igns

When you get to the top and you think you can stop

There's another damn mountain to cli-imb

And you think that no-one remembers you and you carry too heavy a loa-oad

But the crowd yells more, and evens the score

So back out on the roa-oa-oad



Oh-oh, that's beating the boards, Oh-oh, that's beatin' the boards

You're facing the Lord, you're beating the boards again and again and

They're layin' out on the floor (Oh-oh that's beating the boards)

They're yellin' for more (Oh-oh that's beating the boards)

Oh facing the Lord, they're beating the boards again and again



They're layin' out on the floor (Oh-oh, that's beating the boards)

They're yellin' for more-ore (Oh-oh that's beating the boards)

I'm facing the Lord, they're beating the boar-oards again

They're layin' out on the floor (Oh-oh, that's beating the boards)

Ooh, they're yelling for more-ore (Oh-oh, that's beating the boards)

I-I'm facing the Lord, they're beating the boards again
