Текст песни No Rehearsal (Jethro Tull) с переводом

Did you learn your lines today?

Well, there is no rehearsal

The tickets have all been sold

For tomorrow’s matinee

There’s a telegram from the writer

But there is no rehearsal

The electrician has been told

To make the spotlights brighter

There is one seat in the circle--

Five hundred million in the stalls

Simply everyone will be there

But the safety curtain falls

When the bomb that’s in the dressing room

Blows the windows from their frames

And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came

There is one seat in the circle--

Five hundred million in the stalls

Simply everyone will be there

But the safety curtain falls

When the bomb that’s in the dressing room

Blows the windows from their frames

And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came

When the bomb that’s in the dressing room

Blows the windows from their frames

And the prompter in his corner is sorry that he came

Did you learn your lines today?

Well there is no rehearsal

The interval will last until

The ice-cream lady melts away

The twelve piece orchestra are here

But there is no rehearsal

The first violinist’s hands are chilled--

He’s gone deaf in both ears

Well, the scenery is colorful

But the paint is so damn thin

You see the wall behind is crumbling

And the stage door is bricked in

But the audience keep arriving

'til they’re standing in the wings

And we take the final curtain call

And the ceiling crashes in
