The Gig Where The Stage Collapsed - Sam Wilkinson live @ Art In The Park

Описание: This was another memorable moment from the summer.

I was nearly at the end of my song 'Why I Live In A Bungalow' when the stage collapsed.

Luckily it was an inflatable stage. So it collapsed quite slowly. And ten minutes later, it was up again.

The event was Art In The Park on top of Hilly Fields in South London.

Thanks to Baz and everyone for organising the gig.

LYRICS:

Why I Live In A Bungalow – Sam Wilkinson

There’s a man who lives at the top of a house
Made of rotting wood and stone
He watches over everyone
Who live on the floors below
They kiss him and they bow for him
They shower him with prayers
He’s the one and only mighty holy
Man Upstairs

There’s fighting on the bookshelves
One side shouting “Kill the gays!”
The other says “Let’s love each other,
We’re sick of your old ways!”
When I ask them who their leaders are
They both say that you’re theirs,
Who do you agree with
Man upstairs?

The bow-tied gangster at the dining table
His suit made out of gold
Sewn by children in shoebox workshops
Some are five years old
They’re dressed in rags, but make the clothes
Sold by billionaires
How do you explain that one,
Man Upstairs?

Tell me when you sleep at night
What is it that you think?
You gave the greedy all their money
And didn’t let the humble drink
Yet “all are equal” says the preacher
As he mightily declares
That everyone is loved the same
By the Man Upstairs

For centuries they’ve said he’ll come
And save us from the hate
But he must be stuck in traffic
Cause he’s running rather late
When will he clothe the cold,
With the power that he bears?
The one and only mighty holyMan Upstairs
