Lyrics:This Is The End

by Andy Partridge

This is the end This is the end This is the part where all the curtains come down And they won't drop Fat Boy on your town But if they do I hope it's not a trend This is the end This is the end This is the reel where all the titles come up And you have no more drink in your cup So here's where sweet and bitter rivers blend This is the end Of all the bread we broke together This is the end Of all that fine and fishing weather I don't want to hear you've been crying I don't want to hear you've been trying to revive it Let it go Let it lay down Let it go And if it won't stay down that's the surest sign That something new's beginning This is the end This is the end This is the part where all the lights flicker on And we can see the popcorn has gone Off looking for new causes to defend This is the end This is the end That mythical place where everybody shakes hands No hard feelings and no hard glands The bible says it's when cats and dogs make friends This is the end Of all the wars, of all the roses This is the end Of kissing arse and rubbing noses I don't want to hear you've been sorry I don't want to hear you've been worrying about me Let it die Let it lay down Let it die So let it all break down to rotten That's the way we'll grow new flowers This is the end This is the end Now this is where the string has led us all to A sign that says "Please start here anew" So let me hear them violins all rend
