About Curtain Falls

"Curtain Falls" is a song by English boy band Blue. It was released on 8 November 2004 as the first single from their first greatest hits album, Best of Blue (2004). The song was co-written by the band and Stargate and produced by Stargate. The background music is almost identical to that of Coolio's 1995 hit, "Gangsta's Paradise", as they both share usage of a sample of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise". When released as a single, it peaked at number two in Italy, number four in the United Kingdom and number eight in Germany. In France, the song was re-recorded in French and re-titled "Quand Le Rideau Tombe"; although it was released as a single there, only the English version charted.

Duncan
We come from humble beginnings and
Who could have guessed it when
You sit and doubt it and
Things ain't all that bright
But we made it through the night
It's like a game of truth or dare
If you can make it here
You'll make it anywhere
That's what we've been told
But the stories getting old

Lee
Together we faced the cold outside
No one can say we didn't try
And I will never give you up or let you go
Together we faced our final fears
Remember the moments that we shared
That's why I'll never give you up or let you go

All
We'll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cause I'm living out the script of my life
Cause we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
Oh (oh)
In the script of my life

Simon
We started out many years ago
No one will ever know
How far we've really come
Since we walked away
And no more words to say

Antony
And we made a lot of sacrifice
Undid a lot of ties
Fought a lot of fights
To get where we are now
Just don't ask me how

Lee
Together we faced the cold outside
No one can say we didn't try
And I will never give you up or let you go
Together we faced our final fears
Remember the moments that we shared
That's why I'll never give you up or let you go

All
We'll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cause I'm living out the script of my life
Cause we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
Oh
In the script of my life

Simon
We'll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cause I'm living out the script of my life
Cause we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
In the script of my life

All
We'll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cause I'm living out the script of my life
Cause we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
Oh(oh)
In the script of my life

All
We'll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cause I'm living out the script of my life
Cause we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
Oh (oh)
In the script of my life
