The minstrel in the gallery looked down upon the smiling faces
He met the gazes, observed the spaces between the old men's cackle
He brewed a song of love and hatred, oblique suggestions, and he waited
He polarized the pumpkin-eaters, static-humming panel-beaters, freshly
Day-glo'd factory cheaters (salaried and collar-scrubbing)
He titillated men-of-action, belly warming, hands still rubbing on the
Parts they never mention
He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating one-line jokers, TV
Documentary makers (over-fed and undertakers)
Sunday paper backgammon players, family-scarred and women-haters
Then he called the band down to the stage and he looked at all the friends
He'd made

The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the rabbit-run
And threw away his looking-glass, saw his face in everyone

Hey!

Yes!

He met the gazes
Yeah!
Mm, the minstrel in the gallery
