good 'n' evil
Good and evil -
And their merits -
Men have argued through history -
As well they should!
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
And therefore
All evil is good"
How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil's the one that is free everywhere -
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven -
Which is hell!
Good men maintain evil's a curse! -
But it is plain good's even worse!
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun -
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!
The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start -
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil -
Each man has to choose! -
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! -
But as I peruse
This world we abuse -
It's hell that we choose -
And heaven must lose!
Evil is everywhere -
Good doesn't have a prayer!
Good is commendable -
Evil's dependable!
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!
Evil's for me - you can have good!
Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
S'easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good 'n' evil
Than try to be evil and good!
not me
RADAMES: I once knew all the answers, I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness, confidence so effortless
No brighter could be foundMEREB: Oh No...I never asked the questions that trouble me today
I knew all there was to know, love worn lightly, put on show
My conquest on displayI can't believe he's changingAnd who'd have thought that confidence could die?Oh no...Not me...Not me...Not me...Not me...That all I took for granted was a lie?Oh no...Not me...Not me...Not me...Not me...And who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say "Not me..."This can never beNot me...He's in love, but he's not the only one to be changed.AMNERIS: (spoken) Why hasn't Radames come to see me again?
We're to be married in three days.. Aida, I must make things right with himAIDA: I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they shareAn empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there.BOTH: And who'd have thought a love could be so good
Not me, not me.....
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me.....
And who'd have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone 'till his dying day?
Not me, not me.....AMNERIS, AIDA and RADAMES: And who'd have thought a love could be so good?No good...Not me...Not me...Not me.....Not me...My secrets and my passions understoodOh no...Not me...Not me...Not me.....Not me...And who'd have guessed he'd throw his (my) world away
To be with someone till his (my) dying day
Not me...This can never beNot me.....Not me, oh not me
the best deceptions
I heard about your trip
I heard about your souveniers
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys
That you spent them with
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you
Well don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards
Go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I'll let you
You will be back some day
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
Will be of service
To giving you away
I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us
Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you
Well don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards
Go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away
To giving you away
I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you'd never heard my voice
You're calling too late, too late to be gracious
And you do not warrant long good-byes
You're calling too late
You're calling too late
You're calling too late
it's only natural
Ice will melt, water will boil.
You and I can shake off this mortal coil.
It's bigger than us.
You don't have to worry about it.
Ready or not here comes the drop.
You feel lucky when you know where you are.
You know, it's gonna come true,
Here in your arms I remember.
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you.
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too.
It's easy when you don't try,
Going on first impressions.
Man in a cage has made his confession.
Now, you've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there.
I want you to know I feel completely at ease.
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees.
Please, let me have my way with you.
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you.
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too.
It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try.
But we'll be shaking like mud.
Buildings of glass
Sink into the bay.
They'll be under the rocks again.
You don't have to say.
I know you're afraid.
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you.
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too.
It's circumstantial. It's something I was born to.
It's only natural, can I help it if I want to?
Can I help it if I want to...?
see i'm smiling
I guess I can't believe you really came
And that we're sitting on this pier
See, I'm smiling
That means I'm happy that you're here
I stole this sweater from a costume shop
It makes me look like Daisy Mae
See, we're laughing
I think we're gonna be okay
I mean, we'll have to try a little harder
And bend things to and fro
To make this love as special
As it was five years ago
I mean, you made it to Ohio!
Who knows where else we can go
I think you're really gonna like this show
I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck
See, you're laughing and I'm smiling
By a river in Ohio
And you're mine
We're doing fine
I think we both can see what could be better
I'll own when I was wrong
With all we've had to go through
We'll end up twice as strong
And so we'll start again this weekend
And just keep rolling along
I didn't know you had to go so soon
I thought we had a little time
Look, whatever, if you have to
Then you have to, so whatever
It's all right
We'll have tonight
You know what makes me crazy?
I'm sorry, can I say this?
You know what makes me nuts?
The fact that we could be together
Here togethe
Sharing our night
Spending our time
And you are gonna choose someone else to be with
No, you are
Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing:
You could be here with me
Or be there with them
As usual, guess which you pick
No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party
With the same twenty jerks you already kno
You could stay with your wife on her fucking birthday
And you could, God forbid, even see my show
And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy
That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends
No, I'm not, no I'm not!
And the point is, Jamie,
That you can't spend a single day that's not about
You and you and nothing but you
'Mahvelous' novelist, you!
Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight
The savior of writing
You and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you
Pushing through windows and bursting through walls
En route to the sky
And I...
I swear to God I'll never understand
How you can stand there straight and tall
And see I'm crying
And not do anything at all
you're beautiful
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
