Split Enz - Matinee Idyll Lyrics
Hiding in the wings forever
We'll take the stage, 'cause it's now or never
And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease
The matinee idylls, they all fall to their knees
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
(Get on with it)
Playing Romeo, you make your debut - ha!
Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue
It's not all bouquets and white crayons
They're going to laugh when you look down
I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy
You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
(Jolly good show everyone)

This is one awesome track, love it!
Totally agree! Although there's a slightly different version of this song on their Spellbound release. Its a 1973 demo taken from the 1979 album "The Beginning of the Enz". Check it out :)
The version that is on Beginning of the Enz , is in my opinion superior,
