SPARKS lyrics - Miss The Start, Miss The End

(Ron Mael)



Neither has a predilection,

Neither has an afterthought and neither chair gets warm at all and

Neither takes their jacket off

For this they'll pay the same money to see the event as you and I and we'll see it all



They've never seen a curtain rise kick-off or the

final gun and never have they seen the titles

flashing cross the rising sun

I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I will be silent again

Quiet now, It's all gonna begin



Miss the start, miss the end

'Couse they're such very good friends

And there are things to be loved and things to only attend

Miss the start, miss the end



The opening bars and the closing bars might aswell not exist

They're not needed, needed, really needed

You and I have got to see the start

You and I have got to see the end



We need more than just each other

So much more than just each other

They don't need more than each other

Not much more than just each other

They don't need the total picture, just a drawing

of each other hung inside the bungalow,

where wondrous things are all discovered

You and I must see how it starts and ends

And tell them what they missed once again



Miss the start, miss the end

'Couse they're such very good friends

And there are things to be loved and

things to only attend

Miss the start, miss the end
