Written about Paul Chubb

lyrics

In every American movie
The sound is always on
But if you portray my place
You must be part of the space
Because I live where silence is olden
A wise man once said…little

Could an actor be
Fiercely protective of his ordinariness
Straight up and down, never precious
A maker of magical humanity
Because he simply holds a candle

Could an actor be
Fiercely protective of his ordinariness
Straight up and down, never precious
A maker of magical humanity
Because he simply holds a candle
To you and me

What of those
Who champion the ordinary
Who make the screen a mirror
Should be praise them less
Because they don’t deceive us
Or more because it’s rarer

Could an actor be
Fiercely protective of his ordinariness
Straight up and down, never precious
A maker of magical humanity
Because he simply holds a candle

Could an actor be
Fiercely protective of his ordinariness
Straight up and down, never precious
A maker of magical humanity
Because he simply holds a candle
To you and me

Actors the clowns of the middle ages
are now the princes of our muddled stage
We laud those who offer us altered reality
Based on a true story
Sanitised for your sanity
Could an actor be
Fiercely protective of his ordinariness
Straight up and down, never precious
A maker of magical humanity
Because he simply holds a candle
