Lyrics:
Mark: How do you document real life When real life's getting more like fiction each day? Headlines, breadlines, blow my mind, and now this deadline... Eviction or pay. Rent! Roger: How do you write a song When the chords sound wrong, though they once sounded Right and rare. When the notes are sour Where is the power You once had to ignite the air? Mark: And we're hungry and frozen Roger: Some life that we've chosen Both: How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's Rent Mark: We light candles Roger: How do you start a fire When there's nothing to burn And if feels like something's Stuck in your flue Mark: How can you generate heat When you can't feel your feet Both: And they're turnin blue! Mark: You light up a mean blaze Roger: With posters Mark: And screen plays Both: How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's Rent Joanne: Don't screen, Maureen, its me Joanne Your substitute production manager Hey hey hey! (did you eat?) Don't change the subject maureen But darling... You havn't eaten all day! You won't throw up You won't throw up The digital delay - Didn't blow up (exactly) There may have been one teeny tiny spark - You're not calling Mark! Collins: How do you stay on your feet When on every street It's trick or treat And tonight its trick Welcome back to town I should lie down Everything's brown And uh oh I feel sick! -acapo
