View Lyrics
If you start at the top, you're certain to drop, You've got to watch your timing; Better begin by climbing up, up, up the ladder. If you're going to last you can't make it fast, man, Nobody starts a winner, give me a slow beginner, Easy does it, conserve your fine endurance; Easy does it, for that's your life insurance. While you are young,take it rung after rung after rung.
It's not where you start, it's where you finish. It's not how you go, it's how you land. A hundred to one shot, they call him a klutz Can out-run the favorite, all he needs is the guts. Your final return will not diminish And you can be the cream of the crop; It's not where you start, it's where you finish, And you're gonna finish on top.

Matt has a vision for leaving his provincial town.
View Lyrics
There's a song he must sing; It's a well-known song. But the tune is bitter And it doesn't take long to learn!
I can learn! That pretty little world that beams so bright. That pretty little world that seems delightful Can burn! Burn! Burn! Let me learn! Let me learn!
For, I can see it! Shining somewhere! Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there And learn! And I'm ready!
I can hear it! Sirens singing! Inside my ear I hear them all singing Come learn!
Who knows, maybe All the visions I can see May be waiting just for me To say take me there, and
Make me see it! Make me feel it! I know it's so I know that it really May be! Let me learn!
I can see it! (He can see it!) Shining somewhere! (Shining somewhere!)
Those lights not only glitter But once there they burn!
I can hear it! (He can hear it!) Sirens singing! (Sirens singings!)
Don't listen close Or maybe you'll never Return!
Who know, maybe All the visions that I (he) sees May be waiting just for me (him) to Say
I can see it! Say Shining somewhere! Say Let me see it! Say Take me there And make me a part of it!
Make me see Those shining sights inside of me! (Make him see it!)
Make me feel Those lights inside Don't lie to me! (Make him feel it!)
I (he) know(s) it's so -- I (he) know(s) that it really may be!
Just what I always waited for! This is what my life's created for!
Let me (him) learn!

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!

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!

There's Tommy Flanagan Who lights the gas lamps- A hundred ninety lamps In Phoenix park alone. He's done it drunk For over fifty-seven years In Dublin!
And down on Henry street is Mad John Maher- Old ramblin' Johnny with a face like hammered meat! But Johnny's singin' brings a Dublin man to tears.
I don't know The words to tell you how it feels Or how to put it in a rhyme, But if you come with me you'll know
How the lamps in the park Look like god in the dark As they glow On the streets of Dublin
The dealers hawkin' and the dockers yellin' The buskers bangin' and the ragmen ringin' bells, And there's Maureen whose door is always open for All Dublin!
And Tony Kiely with his racing pigeons. It's like religon how he lives to fly those birds- He swears they travel for a hundred miles or more.
I don't know The kind of words that you might say But I can put it my own way, And if you come with me you'll know That those birds on the wing Are a beautiful thing As they blow Through the streets of Dublin
And there's music like nothin' you've heard If you know the right jukebox to play! There are glasses to raise in the praise Of survivin' the day...
Down where Miss Kitty Farrelly is pourin' whiskey And Frankie Donahughe is lighting her cigar. A smokey den where workin' men don't bring the wife...
It's the laughter of fellas with stories to tell, Men who love to get drunk and raise true fuckin' hell! Ah, you come out with me and you'll see what you're missin' in life
On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin

Say yes and your adventure start Not always as expected Say no you stay apart But you stay protected
You’ve got to give your self A reason to rejoice Cause the music you make Counts for everything Now every living soul has got a voice You’ve got to give it room And let it sing
My family never had too much Made the best of every day Ate what’s on our plates you know Never threw a thing away We kept our nightmares on the shelf Our dreams were on the table Pass ‘em down and help your self As long as you are able
My momma told me Son forget what might have been Give yourself a break whatever’s happening Don’t let your spirit, son, come closing in You gotta give it room and let it, let it sing You gotta give it room and let it sing Oh you gotta lift up your voice and sing
Got some years ahead to go You’ll go free if you take it slow Got some years it won’t be long You’ll be free to sing your song
Oh boy you got left, right Oh boy
There's precious little really folks like us controlled But you can make your music from the simplest thing And though no one has got to tend your soul You’ve got to give it room and let it Let it sing You’ve got to give it room and let it sing
You’ve got to let it sing You got to let it sing You got to give it room And let it sing

Leona, a secretary, arrives in Venice and is amazed by what the city has to offer.
View Lyrics
Some people cry at hellos and farewells, Some people cry at nostalgia with bells, Some cry at weddings, some at the moon, I cry promptly Mondays at high noon. Some people cry at Vienna or Rome, This one is mine, Cookie, this one is home. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here and cry.
Let's build a city... where should it be? How about the middle of that sea?
Some people cry when they see their old pals, Me, I'm a sucker for chimes and canals. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here And stand like a lump Dripping wet with no shoes on At noon on a Monday And cry.

Lisa, a homeless woman asks for money.
View Lyrics
Hate me but don't kick my shins. I'm where your kindness begins. Please, folks, do not spend time with me. I won't ask you to treat me like your mother. I'm not asking for sympathy All I'm asking for is change.
Change the government, Kill the mayor. It's not fair how lives evaporate Change the system That made us what we are I don't ask for hugs. Just need money to by more drugs And if you folks pay, I'll go away.
People walk by me with glee. I am what they'll never be. I don't ask you to tip your hat. I don't ask that you notice what I'm wearing. I could care less for things like that. All I'm asking for is change. Change. Change. Change.
Pennies or nickels or dimes We live in perilous times.

You'll see me carried shoulder high, By famous people I've never met, But till I leave the rear, It's from the rear you'll hear, "I ain't down yet." To show that you know, You got to show you know you know!
I'm goan' to move From place to place To find a house With a goldn stair And if that house is red And has a big brass bed I'm liiiivin' there.
You'll see me carried shoulder high, By famous people I've never met, But till I leave the rear, It's from the rear you'll hear, "I ain't down yet."

After Michael criticizes Agnes’ expensive shopping habits, the wife contemplates being a saucy divorcee.
View Lyrics
That pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous ass!! Now's the time for that hat. The one I've been saving for all these years.
An eighty-five dollar hat! What do you think of that! Thirteen feathers of the pigeon family! And a bird of paradise plume!
I hid this hat for four whole years. In this great big box at the foot of the bed - Right here in this very same room! But now, my spouse, it's out of the box, And I'm gonna tell you what; If I am going to go to pot - This pot is gonna be HOT!
Say - who's that racy, middle-aged lady, Peeking underneath her veil? Why, don't you know? That's Flaming Agnes. (Her husband up and left her)
Who's that pale, available matron? Underneath the peacock's tail? Why, can't you guess? That's Flaming Agnes. (Emancipated lady!)
Used to find her sittin' in the kitchen. Mousy housewife was her name. But the day her husband up and left her - Agnes started to flame!
Now they say that nothing can save her - And they blame her husband for the blazing shame of Flaming Agnes! (vulgar dance) Fresh!
Used to find her tendin' to the kiddies; Up to here in Cream of Wheat! But the day her husband up and left her, That's the day that Agnes turned the heat one! Now she flames from night till early mornin'! While he slaves to raise the alimony He must pay, to Flaming Agnes!

View Lyrics
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud I need to be as free As I know how to be I want to live out loud
Every day – sleep, walk, lock, step No one dares to stray Though they may – straightlaced, shamefaced Long to break away They’re as lonely as can be Is that what they want from me?
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want to live life under a cloud Give me some air and space And sun on my face I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd Don’t want to seem peculiar and proud Nobody wants me here But I won’t be disappear I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline I want to join in a moonlit dance I want to swing from the branches of a tree I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet And let the breeze come and dry my hair I want the life they took away from me
If they makes me headstrong – fine! That’s a fault I’m glad is mine.
I don’t want to go along with the crowd Don’t want my spirit broken and bowed Why do I have to hide what I’m feeling inside I want to live out loud
Don’t want to be alone in the crowd I only want what I’m not allowed Give me the wings of a bird I’ll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full I want to sing and I want to fly I want to soar the sky without a cloud I want to live out loud.
