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