[Lyric] Be As Much Yourself - Live (Alabaster dePlume)

[spoken]
Before I came to London, three years ago, people used to ask me, "What do you want to get out of London then? What do you want to get?"

Some of you know how I am a contrary and stubborn and difficult man

So you won't be surprised that I responded to that question, "I'm not going to London to 'get' anything. I'm going there to offer something."

Yeah

"And if London wants what I am offering, maybe we could do some kind of deal."

Standing here now, I have to ask myself: what could I possibly have offered that has resulted not only in the work and the opportunity and the creativity but the rеal love that I am sharing, here with you?

Somеthing tells me, that someone of us, like myself might remember tonight fondly

So before we finish this show, I would like to take this moment to remember that we are stronger than our fear wants us to believe

And we love one another more than is generally convenient or even possible to accept

We're very lucky that you are exactly who you are
Be as much yourself as you possibly can

Everyone needs you to

But no one knows how to ask you

The last song is called, 'Did You Ever Hear About the Mau Mau'
