BThe Room Above the Cinema4:12
[Verse 1] In the room above the cinema The ceiling shakes at nine Somebody below is dying For the seventh time You set a glass upon the shelf And catch it when it slides You say the hero never learns To get out of that fight [Chorus] Downstairs they know how love should end The music tells them when Up here you take your earrings off And ask about my friends Let them run the picture Let the lovers have their scene In the room above the cinema You don't have to be a queen [Verse 2] There's a woman in a satin gown Whose sorrow fills the street You mend a stocking at the lamp With slippers on your feet I came prepared to tell you All the things a man should say You moved the basket from the chair And told me I could stay [Chorus] Downstairs they know how love should end The music tells them when Up here you take your earrings off And ask about my friends Let them run the picture Let the lovers have their scene In the room above the cinema You don't have to be a queen [Bridge] At eleven all the thunder stops The street begins to clear Without a thousand violins I like the sound of here [Final Chorus] Downstairs they know how love should end The music tells them when Up here you leave the kettle on And ask if I'll come again Let them run the picture Let the lovers have their scene In the room above the cinema You don't have to be a queen
