Let him take it from the top, oh oh
He wanna start all over again
See the man with the stage fright
But when we get to the end
He wanna start all over again
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"
And he got caught with the spotlight
My brow is sweatin' and the mouth gets dry
But when we get to the end
Since that day he ain't been the same
He wanna start all over again
And he got caught with the spotlight
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
The doctor warned me I might catch a death
The moment of truth is right at hand
And he got caught in the spotlight
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
Now when he says that he's afraid
Now please don't make him stop, no no
Gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
But when we get to the end
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
I've got fire water right on my breath
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
See the man with the stage fright
Fancy people go driftin' by
He gets to sing just like a bird, ooh ooh ooh
Take him at his word
See the man with the stage fright
Just one more nightmare you can stand
And for the price that the ploughboy has paid
