Tim Minchin Instagram – This is the world’s longest – and perhaps prettiest – life insurance commercial. (In joke for Punx)
I’m quite enjoying making a few home vids of Groundhog Day songs.
Groundhog Day is the Best Musical Olivier Award-winning show I wrote with Danny Rubin (who also wrote the original screenplay) about 7 years ago. It re-opens in London in May 2023, and in time will tour the UK and beyond. Go see it if you possibly can because it’s very fkn cool. Funny and intricate and sad and romantic and joyous. If I do say so myself.
LYRICS:
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the evening sun
She waits for you with open arms
You stare right through her
On and on, you fall towards her
Cold embrace in shadowed doorway
Offers nothing, still she draws you
Ever to her
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the sinking sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
On and on you grasp and guess
And search for patterns in the mess
Of what has been, and what is left
To yet endure
The jester shrugs and plays his part
The fearful see only dark
The pious with their hope-filled hearts
Sing Hallelujah
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the cooling sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
All the love, and all the gold
All you’ve built and all you’ve sold
All the power you may hold
You won’t evade her
All the steel, all the bricks
All the math and magic tricks
All the carrots, all the sticks
Will not dissuade her
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the fading sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
As for that, the rest is just a test of your endurance
You gotta love life
You gotta love life
