This image is based on yet another song from Supertramp’s Crime of the Century album. The song in question this time is If everyone was listening

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain and no-one’s quite certain
Whose play it is
How long ago, how long?
If only we had listened then
If we’d know just how right
We were going to be
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before
The stage fell apart

(chorus)
If everyone was listening, you know
There’d be a chance that we could save the show
Who’ll be the last clown to bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don’t let the curtain fall

Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You’re acting apart which you thought
From the start was an honest one
Well, how do you plead?
An actor indeed! Go re-learn your lines
You don’t know what you’ve done
The final is begun:

(chorus)
If everyone was listening, you know
There’d be a chance that we could save the show
Who’ll be the last clown to bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don’t let the curtain fall

Everything else including textures and handpainting is my fault.

    Fabulous interpretation of these lyrics, Andy. Love the vintage feel you’ve created here! Amazing balancing act by the star too.

  • Thanks Wendi. Not a bad trick to be able to balance on a Champers bottle
