lirik lagu sheridan smith & nicola hughes - makes one wonder
[sarah, spoken]
there must be some reason you can’t say my lines
[myrtle, spoken]
listen, sarah
every playwright writes a play about herself
this play is about aging, and i’m not your age
[sarah, spoken]
i’m sorry, what age are you?
if you can’t say your age, then you can’t accept my play
[myrtle, spoken]
i accept my age
i know i’m not a teenager, i know that
but in the play, virginia has hot flushes
i don’t have hot flushes
i’m not going through menopause
oh, you know, you’re very clever
if i’m good at this part, my career is changed forever
when you’re convincing in a part, the audience accepts you as that
i’m looking for a way to play this where age doesn’t matter
age is depressing
age is hopeless
[myrtle]
not everyone is clocking the hours
[sarah]
how old are you?
we are not flowers
[myrtle]
not everyone’s obsessed with time passing
[sarah]
how old are you?
why aren’t you answering me?
[myrtle]
okay, i’ll admit
i’m no longer quite so fit
ya get a little lost when you’re young
[sarah]
forget to look at your wristw~tch
i too will admit
of age i do go on a bit
ya get a little tripped up when you’re young
[myrtle]
and then make a career of it
[sarah & myrtle]
fun!
makes one wonder
really makes one wonder
how different
how different are we?
[sarah]
okay, let’s say theoretically
both of us are clocking the hours
but in different ways
with different powers
[myrtle]
sure!
both of us can watch the time passing
counting the days for what we really want
god!
[sarah]
so will you admit
the heart of it you’re yet to hit
ya get a little tripped up when you’re older
it’s okay, it’s a part of it, darling
[myrtle]
but this i will admit
if this is it, i’ll lose my sh~t
enough of all this cr~p about getting older
and later wondering, “what the h~ll, man
was that f~cking it?”
[sarah, spoken]
f~cking show business
[myrtle]
it makes you want to scream
in the middle of your dream
you worked so hard to build
[myrtle & sarah]
while everybody laughed
[myrtle]
that nasty neighborhood
with all the crooked faces
[myrtle & sarah]
they told you you’re no good
[myrtle]
you thought you had escaped it
[myrtle & sarah]
you sillily thought you had erased it
makes one wonder
really makes one wonder
how different
[myrtle]
how different are we?
[sarah]
so you try to write it right
and please them every night
and then a turn of phrase
[myrtle & sarah]
it suddenly won’t take
[sarah]
and you never hear the end
[myrtle & sarah]
of the criticizing
but it’s coming from your own voice
makes one wonder
really makes one wonder
why we’re up here
why we’re even up here
and why the h~ll are we even doing this to ourselves
day in, day out
without a break
i guess that
both of us are in the same basket!
from the cradle to the casket
trying to figure out this here faucet
they call art
and how to turn it on!
and when they announce
[sarah]
that the lights will all be dimmed
[myrtle & sarah]
you and i will just have to go and die
and buy a round for all of them
all of them
we have lost
through the years
makes one wonder!
