about

Inspired by the imagery of Terry Gilliam films, particularly Time Bandits, the section with Napoleon is watching the performance in the theatre.
Also the darker side of the song referencing the closed nature of organisations in their final days...absolutely no reference to the BBC in the seventies.

lyrics

Looking up looking down

I can see the faces following me I own the stage

I control everything your every emotion

Make you feel young or look at your age



Laugh with me cry with me wipe back the tears

Think of mortality if I should die

Can you guess who I am good guy or bad guy

All is revealed you knew all the time

​

And I’ll dance with the ghosts of the past‘ til the dwarves lock me up in a box

And I’ll kill the puppets with axes and saws

‘Til the puppet master carries me off



And we all had a good time some of us bought chocolate and sweets

And we all had a fun time but some of us like sinister treats



All we had was seven days

‘Til the walls fell down

All we had was seven days

‘Til the generals came round

All we had was seven days

‘Til the soldiers brokeloose

All we had was seven days

‘Til our necks found the noose



Spectors and inspectors

Trainers and their trains

Honey pots and money pots

Draining out their drains



Mind games and rhyme games

Savilles in a row

now then now then

For a medal and a bow

​

All we had was seven days

‘Til the walls fell down

All we had was seven days

‘Til the generals came round

All we had was seven days

‘Til the soldiers brokeloose

All we had was seven days

‘Til our necks found the noose
