Lyrics
The minstrel in the gallery looked down upon the Smiling faces He met the gazes --- observed the spaces between the Old men's cackle He brewed a song of love and hatred --- oblique Suggestions --- and he waited He polarized the pumpkin-eaters --- static-humming Panel-beaters --- freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters (Salaried and collar-scrubbing) He titillated men-of-action --- belly warming, hands Still rubbing on the parts they never mention He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating One-line jokers --- t.v. documentary makers (Overfed and undertakers) Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred And women-haters Then he called the band down to the stage and he Looked at all the friends he'd made The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the Rabbit-run And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in Everyone
