Spotlight

lyrics

I was the hero and you were the girl
At least that’s what I used to think but now I’m not so sure
So while I was busy saving the day
It was really you who was saving me along the way
Then you ride off into the distance as the picture starts to fade

First those little words that mark the ending to our show
Then a momentary blackness before the credits start to roll
Your name is the first one to appear
That you’ve been the main attraction is quite clear
And I was nothing more than just an actor there to lend some atmosphere

CHORUS
So was the spotlight never shining down on me?
And were you the only one the people ever came to see?
I was never centre of the stage
The voices I heard calling out my name
I now realise that they were merely asking if I’d move out of the frame

The parties we attended for the famous and the few
But you were never there with me, I was always there with you
The invitations surely wouldn’t come
Without the expectation you would come along
Oh, the look of disappointment on their faces if I turned up there alone

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
What took so long to understand it
Was only ever you that the crowd demanded?
I was just a player in your band……that’s all

REPEAT CHORUS
If I’d move out of the frame
Hey buddy, move out of the frame
