Genesis - Broadway Melody Of 1974 слова песни


The moment of impact bursts through the silence and in a roar
of sound, the final second is prolonged in a world of echoes
as if the concrete and clay of Broadway itself was reliving its
memories. The last great march past. Newsman stands limp as a
whimper as audience and event are locked as one. Bing Crosby
coos "You don`t have to feel pain to sing the blues, you
don`t have to holla - you don`t feel a thing in your dollar collar."
Martin Luther King cries "Everybody Sing!" and rings
the grand old liberty bell. Leary, weary of his prison cell,
walks on heaven, talks on hell. J.F.K. gives the O.K. to shoot
us, sipping Orange Julius and Lemon Brutus. Bare breasted cowboy
double decks the triple champion. Who needs Medicare and the
35c flat rate fare, when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are dancing
through the air? From Broadway Melody stereotypes the band returns
to `Stars and Stripes` bringing a tear to the moonshiner, who`s
been pouring out his spirit from the illegal still. The pawn
broker clears the noisy t
ill and clutches his lucky dollar bill.

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.
Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin`, head buried in the sand.
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there`s no ship sailing.
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline
failing.
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays `In the Mood`
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there`s a smell of
peach blossom and bitter almonde.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he knows
in a scent, you can bottle all you made.
There`s Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the
majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
with needles; needles and pins.

Then the blackout.
