Sparks - High C Lyrics






A picket fence, I leaped it
Through your screen door, I gotta meet you

High C up and High C down
Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
and mumble, "I'm humble."

Press clippings hang from torn wallpaper
A dust covered phone, no one would ring her

High C up and High C down
Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
and you tell me

Tell me of the times when you were so big
in Vienna
And the people paid good money just to hear
you in your splendour

But that's all over now
That's all over now

Limited tastes, I wish I could help you
A rock-headed lad, I have got to help you

High C up and High C down
Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
and mumble, "I'm humble."

Come on home with me and will sing our little hearts out
We will hit High C or maybe somewhere thereabouts

Somewhere thereabouts

    chaplin was the look he was going for... I think.

    I agree. That's why Ron just mugs to the camera but never speaks. I saw them in concert last year and he didn't utter a single word.

    Actually, it was Charlie Chaplin doing his best Hitler impersonation.

    S.... ....

    ??? 1940 he did "The Great Dictator", a satire of Adolf Hitler.
    But Charlie Chaplin started using his typical tramp persona much earlier, "The Kid" is the first feature-film, 1921, but the tramp appeared earlier in theater.
    Charlie Chaplin didn't wear a mustache in private.
    Charlie Chaplin was born April 16th 1889 and died December 25th 1977.

    @jsmrite24 Yea, the whole album is great. These guys were a big surprise to me [almost passed on them because of the weirdness but it was also what attracted me]. I only recently discovered them & I'm on the 3rd album so far. Need more of them here on youtube.
