A musician recalls loving music through his father’s piano abilities. My father's pride
Was in his hands.

Dr. Taylor, a small town physician, hopes that his college-aged son Joe will eventually marry his girlfriend Jenny. A fellow needs a girl to sit by his side, At the end of a weary day.
To sit by his side and listen to him talk And agree with the things he'll say.
A fellow needs a girl to hold in his arms When the rest of the world goes wrong,
To hold in his arms and know that she believes That her fellow is wise and strong.

Georges, who owns La Cage aux Folles, teaches the drag queen Albin to become less flamboyant. GEORGES
I want you to pick up that piece of toast like a man!
Think of this as
Masculine toast and Masculine butter,
Ready for spreading by a Masculine hand.
Pick up that knife and make believe it's a machete.
It'll take all your strength and steady nerves
For hacking your way through the cherry preserves.
Think of John Wayne, and Jean Paul Belmondo.
Think of the Legionnaires and Charlemagne's men.
So like a stevedore you grab your cup
And if God forbid that your pinky pops up,
You can climb back up the mountain once again.
Have you got that?
ALBIN
I think so!
GEORGES
Don't think so! You're a man!
ALBIN
I'm a man!
RENAUD
You're a man!
ALBIN
I'm a man!
MME. RENAUD
You're a man!
ALBIN
I said I'm a man.
MME. RENAUD
Oh, Albin
GEORGES
About that voice of yours.
Grunt like an ape, and growl like a tiger.
Give us a roaring, snorting masculine laugh!
ALBIN
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
GEORGES
Try to remember that John Wayne was not soprano.
Try making it rough and gruff and low.
ALBIN
Ha Ha!
GEORGES
Try more of John Wayne and less Brigitte Bardodt!
RENAUD
Think of De Gaulle and pick up Rasputin.
MME. RENAUD
Think like you're Daniel marching into the den.
GEORGES
While trying to join the burly brutes,
If you forget that your nylons are under your boots
GEORGES, RENAUD, MME. RENAUD, & FRANCIS
You can climb back up the mountain once again...
ALL
Think Ghengis Kan (Think!)
and think Taras Bulba (Think!)
(Think! Think! Think!)
Think of Atilla's Huns and Robin Hood's men.
(Hup! Hup!)
Try not to weaken or collapse;
If they discover the petticoat under your chaps
You can climb back up the mountain once again.
Woah! Yeah!

Guido Contini, a film director suffering from a midlife crisis, struggles to distinguish his ambitious interior world from reality. I would like to be here, I would like to be there.
I would like to everywhere at once.
I know that's a contradiction in terms,
And it's a problem, Especially when
My body's clearing forty As my mind is nearing ten.
I can hardly stay up, And I can't get to Sleep,
And I don't want to wake tomorrow morning
At the bottom of some heap,
But why take it so seriously?
After all, there's nothing at
Stake here-only me.
I want to be young, And I want to be old.
I would like to be wise before my time
And yet be foolish and brash and bold.
I would like the universe to get down
On it's knees
And say, "Guido, whatever you please,
It's okay. Even if it's impossible, we'll
Arrange it."
That's all that I want.
I am lusting for more. Should I settle for less?
I ask you, what's a good thing for, if
Not for taking it to excess?
One limitation I dearly regret,
There's only one of me I've ever met.
I would like to have another me to
Travel along with myself.
I would even like to be able to sing a
Duet with myself.
I would like to be here (Sing along with myself in a song)
To be there (Walking down a lane now, everywhere)
Everywhere (Everywhere. That's a contradiction in terms. I want to)
Here (With a counter-)
Here (Melody in the)
Here (Top of the morning to you, Guido)
Guido (Guido)
Guido (Guido)
Guido (Me)
Me (Me).
I want to be Proust or the Marquis De Sade,
I would like to be Christ, Mohammed, Buddha
But not have to believe in God,
And you know I mean it with all of my heart.
It's the end if something important doesn't start.
I want to be young, But I have to be old.
What I want is a tale of sound and fury
That some idiot went and told.
I would like the universe to get down
On it's knees
And say, "Guido, whatever you please, it's okay.
Even if it's ridiculous, we'll arrange it."
So arrange it!
ALL
Arrange it!
GUIDO
That's all that I want!

Thomas Andrews, designer of the Titanic, believes it to be humanity's next great accomplishment. In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome
We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid.
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city...
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering.

After Lawrence takes Christine to the train station, he develops feelings for her. Love sneaks in
When everything seems quiet,
Sets the bait
And like a fool you buy it.
Your famous self-possession's
Vanished from your repertoire-
This is what can happen when you
Leave the door ajar...
And love sneaks in
And whispers to you sweetly
Silly words that change your life
completely.
You're fumbling in the dark.
The master's now the mark.
You're out of luck
If love sneaks in on you.
The player has been nicely played
The mocker's now the mocked-
That's what tends to happen when
You leave yourself unlocked.
And love sneaks through
The usual defenses.
The sighs, the smirks
The state the old pretenses.
What's gone is what you were.
What's left is all a blur.
You're stung, you're stuck
For love snuck in with her.

I always knew that this would happen
Though he's a child its in his blood
And he will grow

An adult reflects on his complex high school past. There's a kid inside,
And I have him with me always.
There's a kid inside,
Walking down old high school hallways.
There's a kid inside,
At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers.
There's a kid inside to this very day.
And he makes a try for that high pop fly,
That I fumbled one September.
And he makes a fuss over some A plus,
That I shouldn't still remember.

Before their wedding, Fabrizio relieves Clara of all her fears and doubts. The day we meet,
The way you lean against the wind,
And do not know that you are beautiful,
Or that anyone is watching you,
This is what I see.
And I notice how you hunger for surprise,
And do not think that you are tall enough,
Like you’re standing on a mountainside alone,
This is what I see.
Ohhh…
You’re not alone.
Now I see as I have never seen before.
Since that moment in the square,
When you’re hat is carried in the air,
Just so you can chase it,
Just so I can be there,
This is how I know,
This is what I see,
This is love to me.

A man sings to his boyfriend about both the rapture and doubts of their love. Long ago, I tasted something sweet.
It's an echo, it's a memory in retreat.
Like a feeling of fullness,
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes.
It was something I trusted somehow.
But now...
But now it's gone, and I am incomplete.
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat.
If I flash on the future
I see only the empty future shock, an afterimage.
There is only I want, I want, I want.
I don't know what I hunger for,
I don't know why I feel the hunger more
And more with every passing day.
I don't know from where the hunger springs,
But that it's there and that it sings Of someplace far away.
So get me up, and get me out, and let me never return
To the darkness and the hollow, and to the burn.
I want out of this hunger,
To take me up to a higher altitude.
Take me all the way,
I'm out of here.
I am going there.
I am gone!
Oh, get me up like Icarus,
And give me wings like Pegasus.
Just get me out and get me high!

The Minstrel introduces the story of "The Princess and the Pea." Many moons ago in a far-off place
Lived a handsome prince with a gloomy face
For he did not have a bride.
Oh, he sighed "Alas". And he pined, Alas,
But, alas, the prince couldn't find a lass
Who would suit his mother's pride.
For a princess is a delicate thing,
Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing.
You can recognize a lady by her elegant air
But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare.
On stormy night to the castle door
Came the lass the prince had been waiting for:
"I'm a princess lost," quoth she.
But the queen was cool and remained aloof and she said,
"Perhaps, but we'll need some proof;
I'll prepare a test and see."
(spoken)
"I will test her thus,"
The old queen said,
"I'll put twenty downy mattresses upon her bed,
And beneath those twenty mattresses I'll place one tiny pea.
If that pea disturbs her slumber
Then a true princess is she!"
Now, the bed was soft, and extremely tall
But the dainty lass didn't sleep at all,
And she told them so next day.
Said the queen, "My dear, if you felt that pea
Then we've proof enough of your royalty.
Let the wedding music play!"
And the people shouted quietly

Percy rediscovers why he still loves Marguerite. So many nights I have stood in the moonlight
Watching it fade into dawn
Wanting her back with me, warm in the moonlight
Knowing that moment was gone
Out of mind, out of sight,
Till the moon rose tonight
All at once, I felt a chill
In a spill of moonlight, she was there
Though we both held very still
There was something pulling in the air
When she whispered through the dark
I tried hard to hold my ground
I believed I had a choice
Till the music in her voice
Turned my whole world around
I would like to understand
But the stars and I begin to blur
If she never touched my hand
Then what filled me with the feel of her?
In between us stood a wall
In a flash it fell apart
Is it possible she heard
Every last unspoken word
Racing out of my heart?
She never turned to me, but suddenly
We had so much to share!
I never took her in my arms, but she was there
Oh, she was there!
No, I never pulled her in
Still her tenderness was everywhere
Oh, she slipped beneath my skin
Just as if she'd always been right there
Has she been there all along?
Was I too far gone to know?
What a fool I must have been
For how could I pull her in
When I've never let her go?

They say he's cursed, he's Satan's child
I'm just a boy, betrayed, defiled
For a young man needs his time
Damn them all
While they run with the pack
They will pay
For the scars on my back

Archibald reads a bedtime story to Colin. Now let's see, Colin, when we left off last night
The hideous dragon had carried the maid to his cave by moonlight
He gnashed his teeth and breathed his fire
The earth quaked and we trembled in fear.

Og, who has feelings for both Sharon and Susan, contemplates the fickleness of love.Oh my heart is beating wildly
And it's all because you're here.
When I'm not near The girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near.
Ev'ry femme that flutters by me
Is a flame that must be fanned.
If I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of,
I fondle the hand at hand.
My heart's in a pickle,
It's constantly fickle
And not too partickle, I fear.
When I'm not near The girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near.
What if they're tall and tender What if they're small and slender
Long as they've got that gender
I surrender

Anthony Palazzo describes how a mason's work lasts even after he is gone.He builds a house
With his hands
Thirty years go by
It stands
It stands where nothing stood
A house of stone
The mason sleeps real good
He does his work
His workday flies
Quittin' time's a big surprise
And then it's one more stone
To get just right
It's always one more stone
Before the night
Every house he builds
Every stone he lays
It's not just makin' money
And countin' off the days
He builds a house
With his hands
A hundred years go by
It stands
It tells you who he was
A life goes fast
But the work a mason does
It's made to last
The work a mason does
It's made to last

Judas criticizes Jesus and his followers for their radical beliefs. JUDAS
My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.
I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son Should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests Would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; No one alarm.
Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If we go too far....
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

Floyd reflects on his life as he is about to die in a cave. Is it warm, is it soft against your face?
Do you feel the kind of grace inside the breeze?
Will there be trees, is there light?
Does it hover on the ground?
Does it shine from all around or just from you?

View Lyrics
I watched and wondered As he played show tunes Miles off from rock and roll.
What he loved he taught me. Now music's what I do. And often when I'm writing, In my hands, Dad's there too.
If I sing you are the music. If I fly you're why I'm good. If my hands can find some magic You're the one who said they could.
When the child that's still inside me, Finds a song in empty air. When there is joy in making music It is you who put it there.
My dad grew old. His hands grew numb. And now he cannot play.
I came to visit. He sat and asked me "How it could be this way?"
I couldn't find an answer. I played this tune for him instead. My father sat there smiling For he knew what it said.
If I sing you are the music. If I love you taught me how. Every day your heart is beating In the man that I am now.
If my ears are tuned to wander. If when I reach the chords are there. If there is joy in making music, It's a joy that we both share.
I never told you. It took time till I could see That if I sing you are the music And you'll always sing in me.
Yes you'll always live in me.

MAN Four!
MAJOR BOUVIER Every point under par is a leg up the stairway To the sky little girls, marry well. Find a staunch young patrician, Republican! With the blood and the brains to excel! Like the fine strapping lad your late grandmama had Meaning I, little girls, marry well.
Ridiculous woman my daughter Edith Flying at the face of every good solid value I ever tried to instill in her God knows I've tried to teach her tried to teach all of my brood-
EDIE &MAJOR BOUVIER(spoken) The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility
MAJOR BOUVIER Edie, oh ho ho, the last hope of the great Bouvier clan.
EDIE Oh, honestly!
BROOK But Major Bouvier, the time!
MAJOR BOUVIER Oh alright, alright, I'm coming. Company, fall in! Ten hut!
EDIE Chair the ball for the blind
LEE Treat your church to a steeple
ALL When in doubt, little girls, marry well!
LEE Bail the met out of debt
JACKIE Leave your art to the people.
ALL And the crowd will fall under your spell!
MAJOR BOUVIER But an unmarried lassie who's fast and loose, is a moose in a herd of gazelle!
ALL POW
MAJOR BOUVIER Don't be picked off the pack With your head on a plaque! Do me proud, little girls
ALL Marry well
MAJOR BOUVIER It's your future that counts They say greatness always skips a generation So now its up to you to burnish the family crest And remember girls- this crest of our french royal providence It took a while for it We paid a pile for it So go end up spinsters and diletants! The name Bouvier will surpass all others All of your uncles, aunts-
EDITH Oh Ah Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
MAJOR BOUVIER And mothers
LEE Picture Lee in Milan with a prince and a villa.
MAJOR BOUVIER Sally forth, little girl! Very nice.
JACKIE Jackie B. in Paris, simply bathes in chinchilla
EDIE As for me, Joe will more than suffice!
MAJOR BOUVIER Good girl! With a grandfather's blessing, I wish you love! Someone there when your hair goes to gray, and I'll strut in my spats down the isle of Saint Pat's!
BROOKS Marry high!
EDIE Marry proud!
JACKIE & LEE Nouveau riche ain't allowed!
BROOKS Upper class!
LEE Upper Crust!
JACKIE Standard Oil and Morgan Trust!
EDIE Marry young!
BROOKS Marry chaste!
MAJOR BOUVIER Or if not, then in haste-
ALL Marry well, and you're well on your way!

Funny, Who could see that this pathetic scene would be So funny Once you strain to find the grain of humor Underneath Life double crosses with style Forcing you into a smile So it can kick you in the teeth
Just desserts We can all laugh till it hurts At my expense I'm accustomed to working on "spec" I always pick up the check
I think it's funny Who could top or make this comic op'ra more Compelling You could weave in some deceit to even up the Score
You'd have us all on the floor That would be roaringly funny Sad enough my life's a joke that suffers in the telling Just another hoary chestnut from the bottom drawer I've heard so often before That I can't laugh anymore

Oscar, a selfish impresario, tries to convince his colleagues that he will regain success even after four flops.
View Lyrics
(sung) I rise again Full size again, And give those doubting Thomases a walloping surprise again! I sneer at them, I jeer at them, I thumb my nose and bite my thumb and bare my royal rear at them!
With my back up against the wall, With the wolves yapping at my heels, With the noose tightening ‘round my neck, That's the time I know how really living feels.
With the wall up against my back, With the water rising to my chin, Chained and bound tight inside a sack, That's the plight that I'm delighted in!
For I have powers like Aladdin's Genie did. I do escape tricks better than Houdini did. From the black of my cul-de-sac, Do I crack and fall? No – I attack! With my back up against the wall…
OLIVER & OWEN Listen boss, you've got to use your brain. Everyone you owe will meet the train
OSCAR I Shine again, All is mine again, A fighter rising from the canvas at the count of nine - -
OLIVER & OWEN Nine? The count is ten! You're out! The drums of doom are knocking. Your theatre and your offices The bankers will be locking.
OSCAR I spit at them, Spray flit at them. I'll face those grim Goliaths with my sling shot And I’ll hit at them.
With my back up against the wall, Angry birds pecking with their beaks Or submerged, sealed inside a tomb – That challenge brings the roses to my cheeks.
So rally 'round me now, my musketeering men. We’ll turn that raging lynch mob into cheering men! From the false reports of my demise, Like the phoenix right before their eyes With my back up against the wall…
OLIVER & OWEN With his back up against the wall…
OSCAR I rise again!
OLIVER & OWEN Ah-ah-ah
ALL THREE I (He'll) rise again!

Raoul dwells on his troubled marriage with Christine.
View Lyrics
BARTENDER (spoken) Oh, buddy, don't you think you've had enough? It's practically morning already
RAOUL (spoken) One more, I said
BARTENDER (spoken) Alright, alright My shift is over anyway, so let's settle the bill, okay? Jeez, you're in a bad way ain't you? Worse than most that end up here. Here's the morning shift, maybe he'll know what to do with you
RAOUL (spoken) Yes, what to do with me That's the question, isn't it? That's always been the question Ever since the beginning (sung) She looks for sympathy I give her sorrow She asks for honesty I've none to borrow
She needs my tender kiss She begs it of me I give her ugliness Why does she love me?
She yearns for higher things Things I can't give her The rush that music brings I can't deliver
And even when she sings And soars above me I try to clip her wings Why does she love me?
One more drink, sir That's what I need Don't you think, sir? Leave the hurt behind
Do you hear me? Another drink
She wants the man I was Husband and father At least, she thinks she does She needn't bother
Beneath this mask I wear There's nothing of me Just horror, shame, despair Why does she love me?
How 'bout you, sir? Tell me what am I to do, sir? Leave the hurt behind
MEG Morning, Bernie, coffee please Hurry up before I freeze I'll just take it black (spoken) Mother said, I'd find you here
RAOUL (spoken) Miss Giry
MEG (spoken) Do you know where you are?
RAOUL (spoken) Hell, I imagine...
MEG (spoken) Around here they call it suicide hall It's where people end up When they don't know where else to go The hopeless, the desperate A good place to step off the side Off the pier and quietly vanish
RAOUL You seem to be a regular
MEG Me? I come here to swim (sung) This town is coarse and cold and mean It's hard to keep your conscience clean Faceless in the crowd Anything's allowed
And so I come at dawn each day Come to wash it all away Sink into the sea, blue and cool and kind Let it set me free, let the past unwind Leave the hurt behind
(spoken) You should never have come to America. It's not a place for people like you and Christine. It's too easy to forget who you are and where you belong. That's why Mother says you must leave here. Now, take your wife and the boy and go.
RAOUL (spoken) Leave? What about tonight? The concert, the money? Am I to just run away from him?
MEG (spoken) When the sun rises tomorrow We can all start again, clean (sung) Sail across the sea Put us out of mind Close your eyes and flee Let yourself stay blind Leave this place behind

KALA (spoken) Wheres Tarzan? Where is he?
KERCHAK No turning back Whats done is done I have seen what they can do He can't be saved by you, by me It's too late
KALA (spoken) No, I wont let you do this. How can you think-
KERCHAK No more fighting. I'll be obeyed I'll stand my ground Don't dare defy me I know his kind I know the truth I will protect us
No other way Open your eyes It's there to see No other way He's not one of us And never will be
KALA (spoken) Just listen to me
KERCHAK No more to say He is what he is And that won't change There's no other way I am leaving him here And here he'll stay
KALA (spoken) Hes just a child
KERCHAK He was up in the trees Making a weapon And in time it is us He will hurt
KALA (spoken) No
KERCHAK Nothing and no one Will stop him becoming What he is And was by blood
No other way He won't come between me And those I love Believe me when I say With my body and soul This I vow
KALA (spoken) But I need him!
KERCHAK No, no other way And in spite of your pain It will be done
No matter what you say He never was or could be Be my son There is no other way
I won't let him near the rest of the tribe again
KALA I understand
KERCHAK Where are you going?
KALA To find him We'll live away from the family
KERCHAK For how long?
KALA For as long as he needs me
KERCHAK You can't. I wont be able to protect you Kala don't do this. Please.
KALA Kerchak I'm his mother
KERCHAK No other way I should have done this before Long ago And from today Though they'll think of me cruel They won't know There was no other way.

An adult reflects on his complex high school past.
View Lyrics
And he goes along, Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over. And unless I'm strong, All my senses are carried away.
I can feel my hand, my trembling hand, On Michelle's angora sweater. I can hear my band, that awful band, Only now it sounds much better.
I can see a kid, the kid I use to be, On the stage, on the field, in the lunch line. I can feel him tugging at me, Every time I think I don't care, I blink, And he's there again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride. To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried.
There again, He's there again.
And I never know, when the breeze'll blow, With a rush of old sensations. Why the kid should wake, And my heart should ache, Every time I smell carnations.
Something rings a bell, Anything at all, All it takes is a slam of a locker.
Or the switch from summer to fall, A change of season seems hardly reason, But there he goes again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride.
To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried. There he goes again, Hummin' his songs.
He's there again, There again. There's a kid inside.

The Minstrel introduces the story of "The Princess and the Pea."
View Lyrics
ALL (quietly) "Hooray!"
MINSTREL For a princess is a delicate thing, Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing. You can recognize a lady by her elegant air, But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare!
(spoken) There are many versions of this story. I sing them all. This is the prettiest, but it's not quite accurate. I happen to know the true story of "The Princess and the Pea", For the very good reason that I was there. It was a small kingdom, ruled over by a talkative Queen and a mute King. And the princess in the true story was not the only girl put to the test. Actually, she was one of 13 girls? girls who came to the castle hoping To wed the Prince, but who, for one reason or another, were found to be unsuitable.

View Lyrics
There will always be a valley Always mountains one must scale There will always be perilous waters Which someone must sail
Into valleys, into waters Into jungles, into hell Let us ride, let us ride home again with a story to tell Into darkness, into danger Into storms that rip the night Don't give in, don't give up But give thanks for the glorious fight
You can tremble, you can fear it But keep your fighting spirit alive boys Let the shiver of it sting you Fling into battle, spring to your feet boys Never hold back your step for a moment Never doubt that your courage will grow Hold your head even higher and into the fire we go
Are there mountains that surround us? Are there walls that block the way? Knock 'em down, strip 'em back boys And forward and into the fray
Into terror, into valour Charge ahead, no, never turn Yes, it's into the fire we fly And the devil will burn
Someone has to face the valley Rush in, we have to rally and win boys When the world is saying not to By God, you know you've got to march on, boys Never hold back your step for a moment Never doubt that your courage will grow Hold your head ever higher and into the fire we go
Let the lightning strike Let the flash of it shock you Choke your fears away Pull as tight as a wire Let the fever strike Let the force of it rock you We will have our day, sailing into the fire
Land Ho!
Someone has to face the valley Rush in! We have to rally and win boys When the world is saying not to By God, you know you've got to march on, boys Never hold back your step for a moment Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow Yes, it's higher and higher and into the fire we go Into fire! Onward, ho!

God made the Sun And the Sun made light, And the light God into made day and night.
Some people say that tonight is the night, When the bird will fly And eat away the light.
God had a dream And the dream came true, And the dream caught into Was me and you. Me and You. Me and You.
Fifty Million Years Ago, Something in the sea, Reached above the water, eagerly.
Fifty Thousand Years Ago, Something on the land, Suddenly decided it could stand.
Does this lonely road just go to nowhere? Can it be that there's no reason why? When in spite of all the strife, And the endless dying, Life keeps reaching higher for the sky.
Fifty seconds from right now, Anything could be. I'm the future Please believe in me.
Anything we need, Anything we long for, Anything we dream can come to be.
Fifty seconds from right now, Anything could be. I'm the future Please believe in me.
Anything we need, Anything we long for, Anything we dream can come to be.
Believe. You will see, It can come to be.

The first nickel I ever earned, I keep in a little silver frame. It's how I gave my company a name, Reminding me how very far I came!
I was a Maker of the silhouettes Who made a small improvement- A little book of silhouettes That simulated movement. Well, people seemed to like it, Soon the money's going clink! And I'm buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
I go from Silhouettes to photos. I invent a small projector, And soon, I'm making movies And they're calling me director!
An industry is dawning And I'm standing on the brink- Mister buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
Life shines from the shadow screen Comical, yet infinitely true. People love to see what people do, Here where everyone is someone new.
Such tales from the shadow screen! Little men who never get the breaks, Fighting on till something fin'lly takes- What a lovely movie it all makes!
Well, business is booming I'm happy to say. I just made a contract To film for pathe A series of chapters That end in suspense- Each week, see what's next For another five cents!
And I am Waking every morning Filled with such anticipation! I frame the sea, I frame the sky. And this is my vacation.
I shake your hand, I kiss your hand, I buy you all a drink! And maybe if you chance to see A movie that was made by me Remember when the name goes by That's ash-k-e-n-a-z-y
The baron, now american, Who happened once to think Of silhouette and flicker book And movies as they're meant to look And buffalo nickel photoplay, inc! Action!

Martin Guerre leaves his family to start a new life.

They want my blood They're ready to feed They don't even know The man that they bleed As if a man Can love on demand Accept his life Is already planned
There is no demon inside Just a man full of pride For my hopes haven't died Look...
Look, I'm Martin Guerre Too young to love But still above The lie they live Yes! I'm Martin Guerre A man who knows How evil grows And can't forgive
Soon they will see A man can choose to be free They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that Martin Guerre is my name
First I trusted Pierre I was sold at the shrine Then I trusted the priest Now my blood runs like wine And then there was Bertrande It seems all love must turn to dust There must be someone I can trust
Look, I'm Martin Guerre Father I'm brave And from your grave You'll keep me strong Yes. I'm Martin Guerre For they will learn When I return That I belong
Soon you will see That I can choose to be free They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud I'm Martin Guerre They all look for someone to blame But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that Martin Guerre is my name

Archibald reads a bedtime story to Colin.
View Lyrics
I said someone must save this sweet raven haired maiden Though surely the cost will be steep So we lads all drew lots, our insides tied in knots And I won and the rest went to sleep
So I picked up my staff And I followed the trail of his smoke to the mouth of the cave And I bid him come out, yea forsooth, I did shout Ye fool dragon be gone or behave
And then under my breath I uttered a charm, said To make the worst fiend become kind Knaves and knights of dire plights now diminish his sights And it worked and the dragon went blind
And he charged off the cliff Howling mad and he died And the maiden accepted my ring And then you came along And were brave, bold and strong And in thanks every night now I sing
Race you to the top of the morning Come sit on my shoulders and ride Run and hide, I'll come and find you Climb hills to remind you I love you, my boy at my side
Now another foul dragon's appeared, I must leave you He's scorching our land with his breath From his lair, this one taunts me he dares me, he haunts me Once again, we must fight to the death
Would to God I could stay and instead slay your dragon This beast who sits hunched on your back Would God I could wrench him away from your bed Or cut off or tear off his terrible head Or breathe out my fire on him 'til he was dead Or beg him to spare you and take me instead
As it is, I must leave you in care of my brother The wizard who lives on the hill Who has promised his art will soon pierce through the heart Of this dragon that's keeping you ill
And I know that your mother, God bless her Would want you to do as he says and grow strong And you know that as soon as I can I'll return So be brave son and know that I long
To race you to the top of the morning Come sit on my shoulders and ride Run and hide, I'll come and find you Climb hills to remind you, I love you I love you, my boy at my side!

Always I can't refuse them Always my feet pursue them Long as they've got a bosom I woos 'em
I'm confessing a confession And I hope I'm not verbose When I'm not close to the kiss that I cling to, I cling to the kiss that's close
As I'm more and more a mortal I am more and more a case. When I'm not facing the face that I fancy. I fancy the face I face.
For Sharon I'm carin', But Susan I'm choosin' I'm faithful to whos'n is here. When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.

Floyd reflects on his life as he is about to die in a cave.
View Lyrics
Is it endless and empty and you wander on your own? Slowly forget about the folks that you've known Or does rising bread fill up the air From open kitchens everywhere Familiar faces far as you can see, like a family
Do we live, is it like a little town? Do we get to look back down at who we love? Are we above, are we everywhere, are we anywhere at all? Do we hear a trumpet call us and we're by your side?
Will I want, will I wish For all the things that I should have done? Longing to finish what I only just begun
Or has a shining truth been waiting there For all the questions everywhere In a world of wondering, suddenly you know And you will always know
Will my mama be there waiting for me? Smiling like the ways she does And holding out her arms As she calls my name She will hold me just the same
Only Heaven knows how glory goes What each of us was meant to be In the starlight, that is what we are I can see so far

Gould wants Edith to put aside their faded memories while he is gone.

EDITH (spoken) If you're gone, who would I even talk to?
GOULD (spoken) Yourself. The occasional cat.
EDITH (spoken) That's not funny.
GOULD After I'm gone, When the ocean's haze Blankets the grounds in grey Drift away, on the tide, Drift away.
When you're alone, And the twilight's glow Shimmers across the bay Drift away, on a wave, Drift away. Our tete-a-tetes-
EDITH Midnight duets-
GOULD &EDITH Our breakfast tea and toast.
GOULD Funny how things that mean the least Are what we miss the most. Deep in the night When the whispering breeze Sings this song I play, Shed a tear and be glad For the fun that we had. Drift away, on a dream... Drift away.
EDITH (spoken) You're my soul mate, that's what you are.
GOULD (spoken) "Soul mate." Is that the nom de jour?
EDITH (spoken) I've no idea what you mean.
GOULD (spoken) For the party this afternoon, which would you prefer? Should I wear the white satin jacket you bought for me at Bergdorf's? Or the linen one you picked up in Rome?
EDITH (spoken) Now, Gould-! Gould!

A musician recalls loving music through his father’s piano abilities.
View Lyrics
I watched and wondered As he played show tunes Miles off from rock and roll.
What he loved he taught me. Now music's what I do. And often when I'm writing, In my hands, Dad's there too.
If I sing you are the music. If I fly you're why I'm good. If my hands can find some magic You're the one who said they could.
When the child that's still inside me, Finds a song in empty air. When there is joy in making music It is you who put it there.
My dad grew old. His hands grew numb. And now he cannot play.
I came to visit. He sat and asked me "How it could be this way?"
I couldn't find an answer. I played this tune for him instead. My father sat there smiling For he knew what it said.
If I sing you are the music. If I love you taught me how. Every day your heart is beating In the man that I am now.
If my ears are tuned to wander. If when I reach the chords are there. If there is joy in making music, It's a joy that we both share.
I never told you. It took time till I could see That if I sing you are the music And you'll always sing in me.
