Pull Back, Roll Credits

about

In this song, the girl sings about how it feels to be "got" by the hero of every old Earth movie ever, and what she plans to do about it...a big theatrical climax to wind up the album.

lyrics

PULL BACK, ROLL CREDITS
(Truesingers)

So here we are, the two of us,
And now you've had your say,
And no-one will deny
That you've fairly won the day.
It's been a long hard journey
But you finally saw it through
And now there's only one thing left to do...

CHORUS
Pull back, roll credits,
The good guys saved the world.
The villains were defeated
And the hero's got the girl.
And if you pull back far enough
There's a chance that they won't see,
That someone in the cast's not smiling...
And it's me.

I know the rules, none better,
I know how stories go.
The hero makes a journey
And he fights a deadly foe.
And when he's gone to all that trouble
And risked his very life
He deserves the happy ending, and the wife...

CHORUS
Pull back, roll credits,
The final music swells
With trumpets, strings and timpani
And of course there must be bells,
And if they play it loud enough
To shake the chandeliers
It might just drown the quiet sound
Of my tears.

And how supremely churlish
And ill-mannered would it be
To break the mood of triumph
And say "Hey, what about me?"
And how the other players
Would stare at me in shame
If I didn't keep my place and play the game...

So take your prize, I'm ready.
I'm a trophy that you've won.
We've got to the denouement
And now this story's done.
But there are other stories
And some day soon you'll learn
That I can be a hera in my turn...

CHORUS INTERRUPTUS
Yes, pull back, roll credits,
But just for now, my friend,
And put a little question mark
On the end of "The End"....
(key change!)

CHORUS
Pull back, roll credits,
That's what we always do,
And then let's have a party
And talk about series two.
I've got some neat ideas to pitch
A whole new storyline...
It's my turn to save the world,
My turn to get the girl,
And I know that on my own I'll do just fine...
The next one's mine!
