"The Talent Show" lyrics

The Proclaimers Lyrics

"The Talent Show"

Some tell the same old story
Some ask their God for glory
Some think that wishing hard can make things so
With every year that passes
I stare out through these glasses
At every new face in the talent show

The grain of truth inside the lie
Is there, reflected in my eye

Come with me now, won't you please?
Let's set them all at their ease
All the faces in the talent show
The grain of truth inside the lie
Is there, reflected in my eye

Some tell the same old story
Some ask their God for glory
Some think that wishing hard can make things so
With every year that passes
I stare out through these glasses
At every new face in the talent show

All the faces in the talent show
Another face just joined the talent show
