Lyrics

AND I SING ANOTHER SONG
Written by Richard Ansell


Verse 1Verse 2ChorusVerse 3Verse 4Chorus. I'm sitting back stage with my guitar in my handsListening to the sounds of my backing bandWarming up their guitars and warming up the crowd,Whippin' them up so they scream out loud,In a minute or so I'll make my standAnd step out there while they clap their hands.I don't know how but I'll take my bow,'cause it's the only life that I know.My stomach churns and my throat gets dry,I swallow hard and choke back a cry.Then I get my cue so I manage a grin,Stand up proud and stick out my chin.I finger some notes and play a 'G',As the lights get dim, I know I'm in key.And to the screams and shouts and wild applause,I sing another song, just because.Why am I lonely, the crowd's in front of me,The fans are all screaming but what do I care,.I'm not the man I want to be I've got this hurt inside of me,And I sing another song that the fans want to hear.I've always believed that loneliness,Is all about being alone. But I must confessThis is a fallacy and just not true,That it is only real friends that stand by you.'cause I've seen plenty of hangers on and plenty of action,And greedy little men giving me direction.And there's plenty of women waiting in the wingsBut I've met none that has that special thing.Now the lead guitar fills in time,As I crack a joke with a well rehearsed line.And the crowd respond just as expected'cause that's the way it was all directed.And that's the way it'll be again'cause every show is just the same.And the world won't stop to let me rest,So I'll just get on with what I know best.Why am I lonely, the crowd's in front of me,The fans are all screaming but what do I care,.I'm not the man I want to be I've got this hurt inside of me,And I sing another song that the fans want to hear.
