Lyrics

How Many Devils?

Soldiers:
One....Two....
Pick 'em and put 'em down again
And watch the miles roll on by
Three....Four....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until you "stop one" and you die
One...Two...
Pick 'em up and put 'em down 'till
Massa Robert tells us to sleep
Three....Four....
When the hell did shoes get so damn dear
And life become so damn cheap?
One....Two....
Those damn yankees ain't as "give up easy"
As we thought they would be
Three....Four....
Those damn yankees ain't as near as scared
Or half as hungry as me
One....Two....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Is all a body can do
Three....Four....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until this bloody war is through
How many miles, how many fears
How many days, how many years
How many rivers of blood, sweat and tears?
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?
One....Two....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
And watch the miles roll on
Three....Four....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until your strength is nearly gone
One....Two....
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
And dream of home safe and sound
Three....Four...
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until we're six feet under ground
How many miles dead on our feet
Drenched to the bone, baked in the heat
Paying for ground with another retreat
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?
Bodies all lay in the tall summer grass
Swollen and butchered and still
Measuring miles by the dead that you pass
Measuring miles by the men that you kill
How many days, How many more
How many men lost to this war
I can't remember what we're fighting for
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?

Emcee:
I don't care much
Go or stay.
I don't care very much
Either way

Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet
So if you kiss me,
If we touch,
Warnings fair,
I don't care,
Very much.

I don't care much
Go or stay.
I don't care very much
Either way

Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me,
If we touch,
Warnings fair,
I don't care very much

Jekyll:
Lost in the darkness
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night
I will find the answer
I'll never desert you-
I promise you this-
Till the day that I....

Hyde:
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I'd ever set you free?
If you do I'm said to say
It simply isn't so.
You will never get away from me!

Jekyll:
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes, and you disappear!

Hyde:
I'm what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!

Jekyll:
All that you are
Is the end of a nightmare
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this demon dream!

Hyde:
This is not a dream, my friend-
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!
Hyde is here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend-
And I'll flourish, long after you're gone!

Jekyll:
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to lose control

Hyde:
You can't control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!

Jekyll:
I don't need you to survive,
As you need me!
I'll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!

Hyde:
I'll live inside you forever!

Jekyll:
No!

Hyde:
With satan himself by my side!

Jekyll:
No!

Hyde:
And I know that, now and forever
They'll never be able to separate
Jekyll from Hyde!

Jekyll:
Can't you see,
It's over now?!
It's time to die!

Hyde:
No not I!
Only you!

Jekyll:
If I die,
You die too!

Hyde:
You'll die in me
I'll be you!

Jekyll:
Damn you Hyde!
Set me free!

Hyde:
Can't you see,
You are me?

Jekyll:
No!
Deep inside-!

Hyde:
I am you!
You are Hyde!

Jekyll:
No-Never!

Hyde:
Yes, forever!

Jekyll:
God damn you, Hyde!
Take all your evil deeds
And rot in hell!

Hyde:
I'll see you there, Jekyll!

Jekyll:
Never!

Terry:
An obvious connection
I tried so hard to hide
Couldn't even say it to myself
An obvious connection
I tried to push aside
Into a corner
On the darkest shelf

We'll never be alone
And my feelings can't be shown
So I try to imagine and replay
All the things
I'll never get to say
You're wrapped up with another
Tangled and entwined
I invent a separation
In the private conversation
In my mind

I resolve to say it all
Then I hem and haw and stall
For how could I come clean
Or confide
Someone else
Is always at your side
I want
I want
I want to tell you
I want
I want
To get you alone
I need
I need
I need to tell you
I want you for my own

If we could steal a moment
Would you be so inclined
To accept an invitation
To the private conversation
In my mind

Daisy:
What do you want to say to me, Terry?
Tell me, this is your chance
What do you need to say to me, Terry?
Does is concern romance?

Here I am
All alone
Yours to take
Smooth me out
Calm me down
Stop the ache

Don't hold back
Don't hold off
Hold me tight
Don't object
Let's connect
Let's unite

Terry:
But you can't lose your shadow
That tie you can't unbind

Daisy:
You've made us all alone now

Terry:
All alone
But only in my mind

Daisy:
A mind is very private
We often meet in mine
Let me show you what we do there
The way we kiss
The way we intertwine

I want
I want
I want to show you

Terry:
Show me what?

Daisy:
I want to show you desire
The heat
The flames

Terry:
I'm burning for you

Daisy:
I know you are on fire

Why not be bold?
I'm crazy about you
I say it with every glance
My arms are cold
And lazy without you
Come on
Why don't we dance?

Terry:
I want
I want
I want to keep you

Daisy:
Keep me where?

Terry:
I want you all for my own
My own
My own

Daisy:
You have to share me

Terry:
Oh no
I want you alone

I imagine us so well
How you'd dance and taste and smell
I can imagine
Me with you
But I don't have the guts
To follow through
You're one half of a couple
That's how you are defined
And my only consolation
Is the private conversation
In my mind

Percy:
No stay....
I don't care what you've said or done
Don't go away
Not now when life has just begun
Come back!
And be the woman who I knew
Help me to believe in you
What on Earth am I to do?

She's gone,
This vision who was not quite real.
I must move on.
Despite the pain, the pain will heal
Oh Lord,
How could you let me love like this?
No one dies upon a kiss,
And only fools believe in bliss.

Oh yes! God knows I am a fool.
A man deluded by his wife,
A figure ripe for ridicule,
Who's lived a vain and useless life.
So be it then! I'll play that game!
I do not give a tinker's damn!
I'll be a fool, it's all the same.
It truly doesn't matter what I am!

God, no!
I'm broken, but I'm still alive!
And slowly,
I will feel my soul revive
With time,
I'll find a way to right this wrong
If it takes my whole life long.
Lord....I'll fight my battles all alone,
But make me strong!

Daisy:
If we stood on our tiptoes
We could peek over the sill
and once in a while
We would see a girl
Slowly walking up the hill

Violet:
And we'd think
What a sad situation
To be outside on your own

Daisy:
To go through the town with no playmate

Violet:
To go through life all alone

Both:
I will never leave you
I will never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Beside you is where I will stay
Evermore and always
We'll be one though we're two
For I will never leave you

Daisy:
When the day is filled with shadows
That stretch into the night

Violet:
I am filled with your sweet comfort
Like morning fills with light

Both:
I will never leave you
I will never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Beside you is where I will stay
Evermore and always
We'll be one though we're two
For I will never leave you

 Both:
                          I will never leave you
(I will) Never go away
We were meant to share each moment
Besides you is (that's) where I will stay
Evermore (and always)
We'll be one though we're two

Daisy:
One though we're two

Violet:
For....

Both:
I will never
I will never
I will never leave you

Sally:
What good is sitting alone
In your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret
Put down the knitting
The book and the broom
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum.
Come to the Cabaret
Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating
Right this way, your table waiting

No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a Cabaret, Old chum
Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call
A blushing flower....
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour

The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker
"Well that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest....corpse....
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she'd turn to me and say
"What good is sitting
Alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

"Put down the knitting
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret."

And as for me,
As for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie

Start by admitting,
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret!

Mame:
Where's that boy with the bugle?
My little love who was always my big romance;
Where's that boy with the bugle?
And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants?

Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment he need me,
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when he called,
If he walked into my life today?

Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man?
And forget the child?
And there much have been a million things,
That my heart forget to say.
Would I think of one or two,
If he walked into my life today?

Should I blame the times I pampered him,
Or blame the times I bossed him?
What a shame I never really found the boy,
Before I lost him.

Were the years a little fast?
Was his world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and too loud
And not enough of me.
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way,
Would I make the same mistakes
If he walked into my life today?
If that boy with the bugle,
Walked into my life today?

Coalhouse:
Say good-bye to music
Say good-bye to light
Anything I care for,
Take it from my sight.
Let me see no future,
Let me hear no sound.
Only darkness and pain,
The anger and pain,
The blood and the pain,
They buried my heart in the ground....
In the ground....
When they buried you in the ground.

I see your face....
And we will ride
On the wheels of a new dream,
Sarah,
A new time, Sarah,
Now,
I'll play them the music
Of something beginning,
An ear exploding,
A century spinning-
My law and my justice
In rhythm and rhyme!
Listen to that Ragtime!

Sarah:
Daddy played piano,
Played it very well.
Music from those hands could
Catch you like a spell.
He could make you love him
'Fore the tune was done.
You have you're daddy's hands.
You are your daddy's son.

Daddy never knew
That you were on your way.
He had other ladies
And other tunes to play.
When he got up and left me,
I just up and run.
Only thing in my head....
You were your daddy's song,
Couldn't' hear no music,
Couldn't see no light,
Mama, she was frightened,
Crazy from the fright.
Tears without no comfort,
Screams without no sound,
Only darkness and pain,
The anger the pain,
The blood and the pain!
I buried my heart in the ground!
In the ground-
When I buried you in the ground.

Daddy played piano.
Bet he's playin still.
Mama can't forget him.
Don't suppose I will.
God wants no excuses
I have only one.
You have your daddy's hands.
Forgive me,
You were your daddy's son.

Sally:
"Why are you telling me?"
My new philosophy
The teacher gave a 'D' on lsat week's homework
She said, "Miss Sally Brown,
Your grades are going down."
I could have told her-

Schroeder:
Your new philosophy?

Sally:
My new philosophy!
Miss B?
I'm she.
Look see
A 'D'
A 'D'
Well, why are you telling me?
And that's my new philosophy!

Schroeder:
That's your new philosophy?

Sally:
Why are you telling me?
My new philosophy!
Just like a busy bee
Each new philosophy
Can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving
When life's a dizzy maze
On alternating days
I choose a different phrase-

Schroeder:
Your new philosophy?

Sally:
My new philosophy!

Schroeder:
Some philosophies are simple:
"Man does not live by alone."
Some philosophies are clear:

Sally:
"Leave your message at the sound of the tone."

Both:
Some philosophies pick and choose
Deciding what goes in it.

Schroeder:
Some take a lifetime,

Sally:
Mine take a minute!
It's like a guarantee.
My new philosophy
And things are sure to be a whole lot brighter.
Now life is free and easy,
Much more philosophy-zy
With my brand new-
And that's my new philosophy!

Percy:
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand.
He was only a boy, but he knew
Someone must take a stand.

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 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 them down, strip them back, boys
And forward into the fray!

Percy and Bounders:
Into terror, into valor,
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!

Percy:
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!

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!

Percy and the Bounders:
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!

Percy:
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!

Percy and Bounders:
Onward Ho!

Polly:
There's a saying old
Says love is blind
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find".
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad I've had in mind

Looking ev'ry where,
Haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever
Think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb.

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key.

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

Fraulein Schneider:
With time rushing by,
What would you do?
With the clock running down,
What would you do?
The young always have the cure,
Being brave, being sure
And free.
But imagine if you were me.

Alone like me,
And this is the only world I know.
Some rooms to let,
The sum of lifetime, even so.

I'll take your advice.
What would you do?
Would you pay the price?
What would you do?
Suppose simply keeping still
Means you manage until
The end?
What would you do?
My brave, young friend?

Grown old like me,
With neither the will nor wish to run.
Grown tired like me,
Who hurried for bed when day is done.
Grown wise like me,
Who isn't at war with anyone,
Not anyone!

With a storm in the wind,
What would you do?
Suppose you're one frightened voice
Being told what the choice
Must be.
Go on, tell me,
I will listen.
What would you do
If you
Were me?

An Officer:
Sorry, Sergeant, we must accelerate
Sate department says we evacuate
The word is, we must be out
By Dawn

Another Officer:
Sorry, Sergeant,, it's straight from
Washington
No one leaves the grounds now, not
Anyone
As fast as we load the planes
We're gone

Chris:
But my girl's out there!

A Marine Captain:
Okay! Keep Quiet! Don't Shout!
The ambassador won't leave till
Everyone's out
The choppers're on their way there's
Room for you all

Another Marine:
They're climbing over the wall!
Get back!

More Marines:
Get back! I tell you, don't shout!
The Ambassador won't leave till
Everyone's out

A Marine:
the Ambassador just sent an order to freeze

The Marine Captain:
That's it! No more Vietnamese
Get in!

Chris:
But my girl is out there!

Kim:
I'm the wife of a soldier
Oh please let me through
Help me, who must I pay
Tell me what I must do

Chris:
Let me out! I got to
Go back for my bride!

Kim:
Listen someone! My husband
Is waiting inside!

Chris:
Please, Kim, hear the phone!
I can't get there
Please be home

Kim:
Please, Chris, no one sees
I am lost here
Find me please!

Both:
Please get me through- I don't care how
Don't take my love away, no not!

Kim and Chris:
Oh Chris/Kim
I can't (please) get free
(Still) I'm with you
Wait for me

The Marine Captain:
Sorry, Sergeant, inside the embassy!
We are pulling out now and there will be
No more reprieves

Chris:
I got till the old man leaves!

John:
Chris, don't be a schmuck-
The ambassador's leaving now

One Vietnamese:
Take me with you
Take my children

Another:
I have a letter from-

Another:
I helped the C.I.A

Crowd:
They'll kill who they find here
Don't leave us behind here!

A Vietnamese:
I've a wife who left already!

Another:
I've an aunt in New York

Another:
I have gold, I can pay

Crowd:
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!

Kim:
I must get in there- listen anyone!
Please tell my husband....look I have
His gun!

A Vietnamese:
Out of my way if that's all that you've
Got

Crowd:
If I am here when they come, I'll be shot!

Chris:
Let me go, John
I can't leave her
Why in the world should I be saved
Instead of her?

Crowd:
They'll kill who they find here
Don't leave us behind here!

John:
It's not you,
It's war that cruel
And if some dreams get smashed,
Perhaps it's best they were

Crowd and Kim:
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!

John:
Wake up, my friend
Your mercy trip has failed
There's nothing you can do,
That ship has sailed
She's not the only one we'll have betrayed

Crowd:
Get to the roof, or else we are betrayed

Kim:
Oh Chris,
I still believe!
The heart of you
Is here with me
My heart against all odds,
Holds still

I have never felt like this,
For once I'm lost for words,
Your smile has really thrown me.

This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now no matter where I am,
No matter what I do,
I see your face appearing.
Like an unexpected song,
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing.

I don't know what's going on,
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?

I just can't believe my eyes,
You look at me as though
You couldn't bear to lose me.

Now no matter where I am,
No matter what I do,
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song,
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this,
For once I'm lost for words,
Your smile has really thrown me.

This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now no matter where I am,
No matter what I do,
I see your face appearing.
Like an unexpected song,
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing.

Like an unexpected song,
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing.

Cinderella:
Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone, truly.
No one is alone.

Sometimes people leave you.
Halfway through the wood
Others may deceive you
You decide what's good
You decide alone.
But no one is alone

Mother isn't here now-

Baker:
Wrong things, right things-

Cinderella:
Who knows what she'd say

Baker:
Who can say what's true?

Cinderella:
Nothing's quite so clear now-

Baker:
Do things, fight things....

Cinderella:
Feel you've lost your way?

Baker:
You decide, but

Both:
No one is alone,

Cinderella:
Believe me
No one is alone

Baker:
No one is alone
Believe me

Cinderella:
Truly

Both:
You move just a finger
Say the slightest word
Something's bound to linger,
Be heard.

Baker:
No one acts alone
Careful, no one is alone

Both:
People make mistakes

Baker:
Fathers

Cinderella:
Mothers

Both:
People make mistakes
Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone

Cinderella:
Honor their mistakes....

Baker:
Fight for their mistakes-

Cinderella:
Everybody makes-

Both:
One another's
Terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide what's right,
You decide what's good

Cinderella:
Just remember....

Baker:
Just remember.....

Both:
Someone is on your side

Little Red Riding Hood and Jack:
Our side

Cinderella and Baker:
Our side-
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side-

Little Red Riding Hood and Jack:
Our side....

Cinderella and Baker:
Our side....

All:
Maybe we forgot:
They are not alone.
No one is alone.

Cinderella:
Hard to see the light now

Baker:
Just don't let it go

Both:
Things will come out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side,
No one is alone.

Jekyll:
This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!

Every endeavor
I have made- ever-
Is coming into play,
Is here and now- today

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment-
This precious chance-
I'll gather up my past,
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment
when all I've done-
All of the dreaming
Scheming and screaming
Become one!

This is the day-
See it sparkle and shine-
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment-
My final test-
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned
Second best!

I won't look down.
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
this day or never,
I'll sit forever
With the Gods!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,,
The greatest moment
Of them all!

Christine:
In sleep
He sang to me,
In dreams
He came.....
That voice
Which calls to me
And speaks
My name....

And do
I dream again?
For now
I find
The Phantom of the Opera
Is there-
Inside my mind.....

Phantom:
Sing once
Again with me
Our strange
Duet....
My power
Over you
Grows stronger
Yet.....

And though
You turn from me,
To glance
Behind,
The Phantom of the Opera
Is there-
Inside your mind....

Christine:
Those who
Have seen your face
Draw back
In fear....
I am
The mask you wear.....

Phantom:
It's me
They hear....

Both:
Your (my) spirit
And your (my) voice
In one
Combined:
The Phantom of the Opera
Is there-
Inside your (my) mind.....

Offstage Voices:
He's there,
The Phantom of the Opera
Beware
The Phantom of the Opera

Phantom:
In all
Your fantasies,
You always
Knew
That man
And mystery....

Christine:
.....Were both
In you.....

Both:
And in
This labyrinth,
Where night
Is blind,
The Phantom of the Opera
Is there (here)-
Inside your (mind).....

Phantom:
Sing, my angel of music

Christine:
He's there
The Phantom of the Opera....

Javert:
Valjean, at least,,
We see each other plain!
M'sieur le Mayor
You'll wear a different chain

Valjean:
Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again.
Listen to me. There is something I must do.
This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
There is none but me who can intercede.
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
Then I'll return. I pledge my word.
Then I'll return....

Javert:
You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years.
A man like you can never change
A man such as you

Valjean (in counterpart):
Believe of me what you will
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
You know nothing of my life
All I did was steal some bread
You know nothing of the world
You would sooner see me dead
But not before I see this justice done.
I am warning you, Javert
I'm a stronger man by far
There is a power in me yet
My race is not yet run!
I am warning you, Javert
There is nothing I won't dare
If I have to kill you here
I'll do what must be done!

Javert (in counterpoint):
Men like me can never change
Men like you can never change
No 24601
My duty's to the law
You have no rights
Come with me, 24601
Now the wheel has turned around
Jean Valjean is nothing now
Dare you talk to me of crime
And the price you had to pay
Every man is born in sin
Every man must choose his way
You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail.
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too.

Valjean:
And this I swear to you tonight....

Javert:
There is no place for you to hide

Valjean:
Your child will live within my care

Javert:
Wherever you may hide away

Valjean:
And I will raise her to the light

Both:
I swear to you I will be there!

Lucy:
A new life-
What I wouldn't give
To have a new life!
One thing I have learned
As I go through life.
Nothing is for free
Along the way!

A new start-
That's the thing I need.
To give me new heart-
Half a chance in life
To find a new part
Just a simple role
That I can play.

A new hope-
Something to convince me
To renew hope!
A new day,
Bright enough
To help me find my way!

A new chance-
One that maybe has
A touch of romance.
Where can it be,
The chance for me?

A new dream-
I have one I know
That very few dream!
I would like to see
That overdue dream-
Even though
It never may come true!
A new love-
Though I know there's no
Such thing as true love-
Even so,
Although I never knew love,
Still I feel that
One dream is my due!

A new world-
This one thing I want
To ask of you, world-
Once!-Before it's time
To say adieu world!
One sweet chance to
Prove the cynics wrong

A new life-
More and more, I'm sure
As I go through life,
Just to play the game-
And to pursue life-
Just to share it's pleasures
And belong!-
That's what I have been here for,
All along!
Each day's
A brand new life!

Harold:
Marian....
Madam Librarian...
What can I say,
My dear,
To catch your ear?
I love you madly, madly
Madam Librarian.
Marian!
Heaven help us,
If the library caught on fire,
   And the volunteer hose brigade men,
Had to whisper the news to Marian.
Madam Librarian
What can I do,
My dear,
To make it clear-
I need you badly, badly
Madam Librarian
Marian!
If I stumbled,
And I busted my whatchamacalit
I could lie on your floor unnoticed,
Till my body had turned to carrion.
Madam Librarian.

Now in the moonlight....
A man could sing it
In the moonlight....
And a fellow would know that his darling,
Had heard every word of his song!
In the moonlight....
Helping along....

But when I try,
In here
To tell you dear
I love you madly, madly
Madam Librarian
Marian!
It's a long lost cause
I can never win
What the civilized world accepts
As unforgivable sing
Any talking out loud with any
Librarian
Such as Marian
Madam Librarian.

Union:
I remember the first day we fell in for drill
We were green as a new dollar bill
I remember your mamma just cried through the night.
When her Charlie-boy left for the fight
Now the battle is near
And the moment is here
It's the Union forever
When the blue meets the gray
Every rebel will pay
By the sword...
By the sword....
By the sword....
By the vow we have taken
Now we awaken
Our flag flying high
We will live or we'll die
By the sword

Confederate:
I can shoot a mounted horseman
From a half a mile away
I can take a hill and told it till
We meet on Judgment day
I will cut a dashing figure
I will make the ladies swoon
I'll be back by fall to kiss 'em all
If the war don't end too soon.
We'll make 'em all skedaddle
Long before the cotton's high
We can whoop 'em in a battle
Sure 'nough whoop 'em do or die
When the sons of dixie take to the field
Then the battle is won
For we never will yield
When the sons of dixie fire their guns
Then we'll all see how fast
That a scared yankee runs.

Union:
When we lick 'em
We'll get home before the first snow
With a chest full of medals to show
When we lick 'em...
They'll be one hellatious parade
Yeah, and maybe by then we'll get paid!
All for one, one for all
So let's open the ball
It's the Union forever
By the angels above
By all that we love...
By the sword...
By the sword...
By the sword...
We will march through the fire
We'll climb even higher
By the dawn's early light
We will stand up and fight
By the sword

Confederate:
I won't let no damn yankee
Tell me how I'm gonna live
I will not forget and you can bet
I ain't tendin' to forgive
So let's polish up our muskets
And give the rebel yell
We'll chase 'em back to Washington
Or send 'em all to hell
We'll send 'em all a runnin'
From the warm Virginia sun
So let 'em come a gunnin'
And we'll show 'em how it's done
When the sons of dixie
Take to the field
Then the battle is won for we never will yield
When the sons of dixie
Fire their guns
Then we'll all see how fast
That a scared yankee runs

Both:
Now the battle is near
And the moment is here
It's the (Union) Old Dixie forever
When the blue meets the gray
Every (rebel) yankee will pay
When the sons of dixie take to the field
(By the sword....)
Then the battle is won
(By the sword....)
For we never will yield
When the sons of dixie fire their guns
(By the sword....)
Then we'll all see how fast
(By the sword....)
That a scared yankee runs
With our flag flying high
We will live or we'll die
By the sword

Don't cry for what might have been
There ain't enough tears
To empty the ocean of my sorrow
We're strangers a 'wanderin'
The prairie of years
Born to be waitin' for tomorrow
And freedom ain't comin' soon enough for me
And sure 'nough ain't comin' for free
If prayin' were horses all of us would ride
And ever I'd be by your side

Don't cry for what might have been
There ain't enough time
Just hold me and memorize my story
This country we're travelin'
Is all up-hill climb
It's windy and empty and so lonely
If prayin' were horses all of us would ride
And ever I'd be by your side
Move along now like a river
Don't you ever look back
Feel our people like a river
Runnin' fast, deep and black

Don't cry for what might have been
There ain't enough tears
To empty the ocean of my sorrow
We're stranger a 'wanderin'
The prairie of years
Born to be waitin' for tomorrow
And freedom ain't comin' soon enough for me
And sure 'nough ain't comin' for free
If prayin' were horses all of us would ride
And ever I'd be by your side
And ever I'd be by your side

Marguerite:

I'll forget you
The more you stay inside of me
The weaker I go
I'll forget you
Tomorrow I will turn and let you go
No more shadows
No dreams of leaning in the dark above you
I will forget how much I love you
Anyday....

But every evening shivers
With the chance that you are near
And every morning whispers he is here.
Each moment is a fight
Not to rush into your light
Not to look closer
But to make you disappear

I'll forget you
I've got to find the strength
To pull away from your glow
I'll forget you
God help me see
The way to let you go!
I do not want you
And still you steal each breath
I'm breathing from me
With just a touch-
You overcome me
And I let you
I will forget you
When I die
I will forget you
I will forget you
When I die

Javert:
There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from God
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
Those who do follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall
As Lucifer fell
The flame
The sword!

Stars in your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course
And your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same

And if you fall
As Lucifer fell
You fall
In flame!

And so it has been and so it's written
On the doorways to paradise
That those who falter
And those who fall
Must pay the price

Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!

Emcee:
I know what you're thinking:
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world.
That's just a first impression,
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view.

If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall like I do
when we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone

How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin!
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin like I do.
Yet, when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand,
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand.

Why can't they leave us alone?

I understand your objection,
I grant you the problem's not small.
But if you could see her through my eyes....
She wouldn't look Jewish at all.

Fraulein Schneider:
...Difference of 50 Marks-
Why should that stand in our way?
As long as the room's to let,
the 50 that I will get
Is 50 more than I had yesterday.

When you're as old as I-
Is anyone as old as I?-
What difference does it make?
An offer comes, you take

For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And you learn how to settle
For what you get
It will all go on it we're here or not
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?

When I was a girl,
My summers were spent by the sea.
So what?
And I had a maid
Don't all of the house work, not me
So what?
Now I scrub up the floors
And I wash down the walls
And I empty the camber pot
If it ended that way
Then it ended that way,
And I shrug and I say:
So what?

For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And you learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on it we're here or not,
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?

When I had a man
My figure was dumpy and fat
So what?
Through all or our years
He was so disappointed in that
So what?
Now I have what he missed
And my figure is trim,
But he lies in a chruchyard plot
If it wasn't to be
That he ever would see
The uncorseted me,
So what?

For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And you learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not,
So who cares, so what?
So who cares, so what?

So once I was rich
And now all my fortune is gone,
So what?
And love disappeared
And only the memory lives on
And so what?

If I've through all that
And I've lived through all that
50 Marks doesn't mean a lot
If I like that you're here
And I like that you're here
Happy New Year, My dear
So what?

For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And you learn how to settle
For what you get
It will all go on if we're here or not,
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
It all goes on
So who cares? Who cares?
Who cares? So what?

Percy:
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- til 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
Ev'ry 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 ev'rywhere!
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?!

Mother:
There was a time
Our happiness seemed neverending,
I was so sure
That where we were heading was right.
Life was road
So certain and straight and unbending;
Our little road
With never a crossroad in sight.
Back in the days
When we spoke in civilized voices,
Women in white
And sturdy young men at the oar
Back in the days
When I let you make all my choices...
We can never go back to before

There was a time
My feet were so solidly planted,
You'd sail away
While I turned my back to the sea
I was content,
A princess asleep and enchanted.
If I had dreams,
Then I let you dream them for me
Back in the days
When everything seemed so much clearer.
Women in white
Who knew what their lives held in store
Where are they now,
Those women who stared from the mirror?
We can never go back to before.

There are people out there
Unafraid of revealing
That they might have a feeling,
Or they might have been wrong,
There are people out there
Unafraid to feel sorrow,
Unafraid of tomorrow
Unafraid to be weak....
Unafraid to be strong!
There was a time
When you were the person in motion
I was your wife.
It never occurred to want more.
You were my sky,
My moon and my stars and my ocean.
We can never got back to before
We can never go back to before!

Jake:
I'm not gonna tell you
You're making a mistake
Tell you not to go
No I won't
I'll only say
What I've learned along my way
The devil you know
Beats the devil you don't

We don't work
In the best of situations
We don't live very well
We don't live
In the neighborhood of heaven
We live somewhere closer to hell

We have learned to work around this situations
Learned to hide
Till the heat has passed
You will learn
A promise of salvation
Can mask another inferno's blast

The devil you know
Beats the devil you don't
That promised land
Could turn out to be dry
Once you're gone
You might ask yourselves why
Maybe you will
Or maybe you won't
But the devil you known
Beats the devil you don't
Oh yeah!

Beats the devil you don't (I won't believe it)
That promised land (Believe it I won't)
Could turn out to be dry (Understand)
So dry- (He could be a good guy)
Once you're gone (Why?)
You might ask yourselves why (Or maybe you won't)
Maybe you will (No no he's not a devil)
But the devil you know (no no he's not a devil)
But the devil you know (no no he's not a devil)

Jake:
Alright
We could argue all night
Because we care about you two
Maybe you will go
Or maybe you won't
But I hope you will remember
That that mean old
Money-grubbin'
Gin-guzzlin'
Name-callin'
