Mark Knopfler - One More Matinee lyrics

Here`s one of the two of us

In 1954 don`t laugh

I keep all of the pictures

Are you going to take a photograph

Here`s something nice for you

A dear old thing came to a show

Last time here we did

An interview on local radio

Make yourself at home my darling

Come on in

Hand me down that jar love

Can I offer you a gin

We`re proud to be the oldest

Ugly sisters in variety

There`s not the glamour now you see

What happened to society

There`s another light bulb gone

They don`t all answer to the switch

I don`t know how we carry on

And her she couldn`t care the bitch

But in a while the old boys

In the band begin to play

And in a while the houselights

And the curtains slide away

And something`s going to happen

To make your whole life better

Your whole life better one day

Something`s going to happen

To make your whole life better

Your whole life better one day

Now the landlady`s all squared away

It`s just a temporary deal

I`m afraid tonight it`s take-away

You see there is no evening meal

Don`t worry dear you shall go to the ball

I think the fairy said

These suitcases have seen it all

From under someone else`s bed

You want to smile those tears away

Now don`t you cry

You want to know what I say

I say never say die

`Cos something`s going to happen

To make your whole life better

Your whole life better one day

Something`s going to happen

To make your whole life better

Your whole life better one day
