VERSE 1
G Dm C
As you shuffled on stage I knew we were in for trouble
You looked like you’d rather be anywhere but there
You started playing and it was nothing like the CD
None of the, none of the energy
Your voice was way too much in the background
And that can’t be the band that played on the album
CHORUS
In short,
It was a big disappointment to see you live [3 gospel singers]
A real letdown [Jack]
It was a big disappointment to see you live
I’d been looking forward to it
It was a big disappointment to see you live
It was a shock
It was a big disappointment to see you live
You must have a great producer
It was a big disappointment to see you live
Although you’re co-credited
It was a big disappointment to see you live
Maybe live’s not your forte
It was a big disappointment to see you live
Or maybe you were just having an off-day
VERSE 2
Halfway through I made my way over to he sound guy
I said what’s going on this is nothing like the CD
He said son she’s like this every night
You were complaining about the lighting
You’re on stage for Christ’s sake
You know it’s insecurity with a lot of artists
I hope you can turn it around - It’s so unnecessary
CHORUS
It was a big disappointment to see you live
Tom Waits would be turning in his grave
It was a big disappointment to see you live
I think I’ve made my feelings clear
It was a big disappointment to see you live
I’d still go and see you again
It was a big disappointment to see you live
But I might heckle
