Final Curtain

The people stumbling blindly,
Thrown out, nowhere to go,
But me and you are certain,
We’re going to run the show,

Under those flashing lights,
It’s not all about those making money on the stage,
It’s about the back entrance and the gritty guys,
That everyone knows and not everyone likes,

We’re the backstage crew of life,
We’re pulling your strings,
We’re here to behind the spotlight,
The ones running things,
You think you own your world,
Baby, who’s giving your call?
We’re the ones, who decide,
When your final curtain falls,

When rain falls at your feet,
It’s us that made the choice,
We’ll turn it to hail or sleet,
When you raise your voice,

Above the shining stage,
It’s not all about those holding flowers as they bow,
It’s about the sweat and tears that went into their set,
The blood into their costumes that soon they will forget,

We’re the backstage crew of life,
We’re pulling your strings,
We’re here to behind the spotlight,
The ones running things,
You think you own your world,
Baby, who’s giving your call?
We’re the ones, who decide,
When your final curtain falls,

Your sparkling world of glitter and gold,
Only lasts so long till you get old,
When you’re tossed by the wayside,
There’s nowhere you can run and hide,

When we’re not one of the stars, we see the world’s a darker place,
The audience never knows because they can’t see past your face,

We’re the backstage crew of life,
We’re pulling your strings,
We’re here to behind the spotlight,
The ones running things,
You think you own your world,
Baby, who’s giving your call?
We’re the ones, who decide,
When your final curtain falls,

So, baby, take your bow,
It's your final curtain call,

Good, very nice, really holding a message, I love it. Then you wrap it all up perfectly "So, baby, take your bow,
It's your final curtain call"

Thanks
I wrote it when I was annoyed at girl in my drama group when she was being all cocky that I wasn't doing next year's show (got A-levels, boo...) and thought I was now obselete Damn I hated her!!! Such a stuck-up pampered little... -_- Not happy...
Ah, well Glad you like it!!

I'm taking drama for GCSE next year

Ah, I so should've taken drama... I enjoyed it so much!! The GCSE course looked really good and my friends really enjoyed it, if you want any prodding in that direction What are you combining it with? Music, I'm assuming?? (I hope so! Should've taken that too...)

Yup, I'm doing French and German, History, Music and Drama.

Wow. Aren't you smart?? :P I'm guessing Science, English and Maths are compulsory, then? So was IT at our school... rubbish... Sounds like fun. Maybe you could write some songs in French or German!! Haha. A girl at Millenium did those GCSEs - she only carried on with the languages!!

It's funny, as I did write a song in French, and I made a German parody of Rihanna's Umbrella called "Partykeller" XD
Yeah, Science, English and Maths are compulsory. I'm doing triple science, because I'm awesome at catching houses made of apples (wait wut?).
IT isn't compulsory. I know a fair bit about programming, which is why I hate it when we do any IT lessons at school, it's so boring...same for music really. But hopefully it won't be like that next year

Aw, unfair!! Triple Science took up one of our options I only took that, French and Geography... and GCSE PE, but we were a sports college, we HAD to take PE :'(
My friends who did music basically dossed about for two years then panicked over coursework for the last few months. But they got to do four concerts, design stuff for performances and compose stuff... you'll do fine, then!! I had to help my friend out with her performance because she didn't have a singer - note: practise with the singer beforehand because she played Fairytale of New York way too fast and it's not a slow song to begin with!! I almost asphyxiated on stage... not a good look... Haha

And I so want to hear those song!!

Our school is an arts school, but not like a fancy school dedicated to art. It just means that since PE counts as an art, we have to do loads of this extra stuff. For some reason only my year has 6 PE lessons a fortnight. Did you have to do like 10? Yeah, I really hate PE.

You mean the songs I listed on my profile? I've been procrastinating uploading them, and also it's hard to get a proper recording done with singing. Those ones with my sister were only kinda samples, my dad actually walked in during Victory which is why there's that weird laugh and it cuts off suddenly at the end XD

Haha!! That happened during Talking To The Moon when my sister was singing - Mum walked in, I made a face, Han burst out laughing!! Damn, I hate it when that happens
And actually, no, we only had five!!! But they take it dead seriously... no messing about in our PE lessons sometimes!!! Our school's not great... which is probably why it's being knocked down!! (for BSF. Not because they're scrapping it!)
