Song performed by Keira Lyons to commemorate the last show at the Palace Theatre's Dixon Studio 29/06/02

Keira song

29^th June 2002 - the audience numbers more than just a few. They come in packs, they come in droves because they know the kingdom of Southend, is losing its Palace.

Royalty fading into misty nostalgia, tinged with anger at the loss at the loss at the closure another cycle coming to an end.

I am - We are - Losing a building / a dwelling / a friend.

But tonight the show must go on and

I am - We are - Not afraid (No)Not alarmed (No) Not perturbed or disturbed but SCARED [scriptless].

He's tall and he's broad / You'll often find him walking through squeaky doors OR Miming large items or inflating his biceps till he looks like Stallone or Arnie - it's Lee.

Next comes the old, bald, fat c**t with an obsession for breasts and perpetual flatulence Don't pull this man's finger cause the smell will often linger, on - it's John.

Then comes the lady we all adore / the audience often want to see her doing porn Because we live in a world of visual satiation / they can't see her intelligence through their anticipation - Sarah.

We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS

Well she moved to Birmingham but you still can't restrain her Ray Mears taught her everything she knows - like how to piss into a container If you get stranded on an island or perhaps in a traffic jam (and she can wrestle crocodiles with only one hand) - Jane.

Then comes the man who is really tall..... It must piss him off when we point that out because it's always the first thing to come out of our mouths / not comments about his wit or startling charisma Put your hands together for Blackman, Mr - Simon.

And then there's me / this could be / my last Scriptless (for a while) I've chosen truth and freedom and the love of people over an institution that sometimes makes me feel evil But it leaves me without a house so I return to the world as my home - but tonight ladies and gentlemen I will not roam for together

Keira Song 2 We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
We are, SCARED / SCRIPT·LESS
