Miss the Start, Miss the End

Neither has a predilection,
Neither has an afterthought and neither chair gets warm at all and
Neither takes their jacket off
For this they'll pay the same money to see the event as you and I and we'll see it all

They've never seen a curtain rise kick-off or the
Final gun and never have they seen the titles
Flashing cross the rising sun
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I will be silent again
Quiet now, It's all gonna begin

Miss the start, miss the end
'Cause they're such very good friends
And there are things to be loved and things to only attend
Miss the start, miss the end

The opening bars and the closing bars might as well not exist
They're not needed, needed, really needed
You and I have got to see the start
You and I have got to see the end

We need more than just each other
So much more than just each other
They don't need more than each other
Not much more than just each other
They don't need the total picture, just a drawing
Of each other hung inside the bungalow
Where wondrous things are all discovered
You and I must see how it starts and ends
And tell them what they missed once again

Miss the start, miss the end
'Cause they're such very good friends
And there are things to be loved and
Things to only attend
Miss the start, miss the end
