Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Get On with the Show

I just can't seem to take much more of this

Got too much hassle baby and not enough bliss

Got to give these hangers on a miss

'cause I need some help I just don't get

No one seems to understand what's up

What's up, what's up

So called friends come and go

And things just don't add up

Trying to make my way

Through all this illusion and myth

I don't even have no safety net

Nero fiddled while Rome burnt

Napoleon met his Waterloo

Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair

But little David slew Goliath too

I'm just trying to get some results

Listen baby I'm not trying to start my own cult

Please tell me something that I don't know

I just want to get on with the show

Nero fiddled while Rome burnt

Napoleon met his Waterloo

Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair

But little David slew Goliath too

You'd think some program might do the trick

Let me tell you this wall of fog

Is just too thick

I thought of everything but the whip

But baby nobody on my ship is up to it

I'm just trying to get some results, some results

I'm not trying to start my own cult, no ..

Just tell me something that I don't know

I just want to get on with the show

I just want to get on with the show

Just tell me something that I don't know

I just want to get on with the show

And if it don't work then let it go
