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!

View Lyrics
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.

Martin Guerre leaves his family to start a new life.
View Lyrics
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

Burrs refuses Kate's advances, and professes dark feelings for Queenie.
View Lyrics
BURRS & QUEENIE What is it about her I know it's wrong That parts the waters? I know he's rough What is it about her That hoists the sail? I don't know what to do But we've been through enough
BURRS Something in her hair Instructing where to touch Why do I need her so much?
This woman makes me cry This woman makes me burn This woman's eye can cut me to the core
The hatred that I see Has been reserved for me Yet I want more And more And more
BURRS & QUEENIE And what is it about her Oooh... That pulls me closer? That way he's always there What is it about her That tips the scale? His strange and silent stare.
BURRS This girl is all I have So soft so fair, so fine And she's forever mine.
This woman builds me up This woman tears me down This woman speaks and I can break apart
Now comes another man Pretending he can win her heart Well, let him start.
What is it about her So slight, so secret? Something in the way she catches light
BURRS & QUEENIE Who's wrong? Who's right? I've never known. Should I hold my own Now - Or be alone We fall Tonight? We fight.
What is it about her What is it about him? That jumbles feelings inside? So coarse, so queer What is it about her What is it about him... That mixes passion with pride? That holds me here?
BURRS Could I live without her And let her go? How loud must I scream No!

A civilian is doubtful of the existence of God.
View Lyrics
But what about the child who cannot breathe, Or the gentle sage who won't see the age of thirty-two? I am awaiting, I am awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground! Go ahead and let your thunder sound! Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away. I'll just have to wait another day.
Maybe in God we trust just a lucky charm, Maybe faith is only hoping that we can rise anew. And so I rise and so I stand. I am awaiting you, oh, I will still be standing here awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground! Go ahead and let your thunder sound! Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away. I'll just have to wait another day.
And so I rise and so I stand. I am awaiting, I am awaiting you. Awaiting you, oh, I will still be standing here awaiting you.

A woman is blasting her unfaithful lover.
View Lyrics
There he goes as usual, my man Tearing my heart apart He's made my life a mess I've got to do this I guess
Goodbye Joe, from here I kiss you Goodbye Joe, I hope I don't miss you
If you had been on the square And had treated me fair And we?d not had a tiff If you had not said I should go and jump right off The nearest cliff
If you had stayed off the make And you never had taken To coming home stiff If I had not smelled perfume With a nasty unfamiliar whiff
I'm gonna miss you, baby Things could've been teriff Ah, what's the diff?
If you had not had the cheek To stay out for a week Saying, "Back in a jiff" If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't
But you have And you were And you went And you did And so goodbye
If I had not seen you Take Geraldine on the lake In your flat-bottomed skiff If you were not out with Sue With your arms around her bare midriff
If I had not seen you pen sexy letters To Gwen in your own hieroglyph If you had not left me home When had two seats for South Pacif
I'm gonna miss you, baby You were too darn prolif Ah, what's the diff?
If you were not such a hound Who when game was around Always picked up the sniff If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't
But you were And you have And you went And you did And so, goodbye
If when I asked where you'd been You had not cliffed my chin With a beautiful biff Hey, if I had not always found purple Lipstick on your handkerchief
If you had not told me lies And then looked in my eyes With a smile beautif If when I caught you with Kate You had not said, ?It?s of no signif?
I'm gonna miss you, baby And I could get specif Ah, what's the diff?
If the best years of my life Weren't spent as your wife With no marriage certif If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't
If you didn't If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't
But you had And you were And you have And you went And you did
And so goodbye!

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 must be mistaken I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers on. And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone
Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
If I'm not mistaken, it started last year.
I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can.
No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things you might hear. When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend: you're wrong again!
Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
