Andrew Lloyd Webber

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?

Because jellicles are and jellicles do
Jellicles do and jellicles would
Jellicles would and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do

When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?
Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?
Do you know how to go to the heaviside layer?
Because jellicles can and jellicles do

Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do

Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell?
Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?

Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaoh commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you're a jellicle cat

We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire
We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire

Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats

Can you sing at the same time in more than one key?
Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss?
And can you (as cats do) begin with a 'C'?
That always triumphantly brings down the house?

Jellicle cats are queen of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights
Handling pieces from the 'Messiah'
Hallelujah, angelical Choir

The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat'
Life to the everlasting cat!

Feline, fearless, faithful and true
To others who do-what

Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do
Jellicle cats sing jellicle chants
Jellicles old and jellicles new
Jellicle song and jellicle dance
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats

I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard
spots
All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on
the mat
She sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumbie
cat
That's what makes a gumbie cat

But...
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
And when all the family's in bed and asleep
She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice

Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice

So when she has got them lined up on the matting
She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting

I have a gumbie cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots
The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor
knots
She sits upon the windowsill or anything that's smooth and
flat
She sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumbie
cat
That's what makes a gumbie cat

But...
When the day's hustle and bustle is done
Then the gumbie cat's work is but hardly begun
She thinks that the cockroaches need employment
To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment
So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts
A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts
With a purpose in life and a good deed to do
And she's even created a beetles tattoo!

For she's a jolly good fellow!

Thank you my dears...

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse

If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat, I would rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat
If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to shout it

For he will do as he did do

And there's nothing doing about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

When you let me in, then I want to go out

I'm always on the wrong side of every door
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about
I like to lie in the bureau drawer
And I make such a fuss if I can't get out

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for you to doubt it

For he will do as he did do

And there's no doing anything about it

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways are a matter of habit

If you offer me fish, then I always want a feast
When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit
If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer
For I only like what I find for myself

So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger

Doesn't care for a cuddle
But I'll leap upon your lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

And there isn't any need for me to spout it

For he will do as he did do

And there's nothing doing about it!

Remark the cat who hesitstes toward you
In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin

You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand
And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin

She haunted many a low resort near the grimy road of Tottenham Court

She flitted about the No Man's Land From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"

And the postman sighed as he scratched his head
"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead"

And who would ever suppose that That was Grizabella, the glamour cat

Grizabella, the glamour cat, Grizabella the glamour cat

And who would ever suppose that That was Grizabella, the glamour cat

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

They had an extensive reputation
Made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their center of operation
For they were incurable given to rove

If the area window was found ajar
And the basement looked like a field of war
If a tile or two came loose on the roof
Which presently ceased to be waterproof

If the drawers were pulled out from bedroom chests
And you couldn't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls
Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of gab
They were highly efficient cat burglars
As well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab

They made their home in Victoria Grove
They had no regular occupation
They were plausible fellows who liked to engage
A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes

And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
The joint has gone from the oven like that!"
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!

It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way
Of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather

They'd go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

When you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?

It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!"

Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time
He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession
He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme
A long while before Queen Victoria's accession

Old Deuteronomy's buried nine wives
And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine
And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives
And the village is proud of him in his decline

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
The oldest inhabitant croaks:

Well of all things can it be really
Yes. No. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
ALL:
Well of all things can it be really
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!
My mind may be wandering but I confess
I believe it is Old Deuteronomy

Well of all things can it be really
No. Yes. Ho. Hi. Oh my eye!

My legs may be tottery, I must go slow
And be careful of Old Deuteronomy

She haunted many a low resort
Near the grimy road of Tottenham Court
She flitted about the No Man's Land
From "The Rising Sun" to "The Friend at Hand"

And the postman sighed as he scratched his head
"You'd really had thought she ought to be dead"

And who would ever suppose that
That was Grizabella, the glamour cat

Grizabella, the glamour cat, Grizabella, the glamour cat

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement,
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the lamp light the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.

Memory. All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days.
I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters,
And soon it will be morning.

Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory, too
And a new day will begin.

Burnt-out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning.

Touch me. It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun.
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.

Gus is the cat at the theatre door
His name, as I ought to have told you before
Is really Asparagus, and that's a fuss to pronounce
That we usually call him just Gus

His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
And whenever he joins his friends at their club
(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)

He loves to regale them, if someone else pays
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
For he once was a star of the highest degree
He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree

And he likes to relate his success on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
But his greatest creation as he loves to tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell

I have played in my time every possible part
And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag
And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag

I knew how to act with my back and my tail
With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
Whether I took the lead, or in character parts

I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season, I never fell flat
And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat

But my grandest creation, as history will tell
was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell

Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin
He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
When some actor suggested the need for a cat

And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

And he says as he scratches himself with his claws

Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell

That moment of mystery when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell

Skimbleshanks the railway cat, the cat of the railway train
There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine
When the night mail's ready to depart
Saying, "Skimble, where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the
thimble
We must find him or the train can't start!"

All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster's
daughters
Would be searching high and low
Saying "Skimble, where is Skimble for unless he's very
nimble
Then the night mail just can't go"

At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue
And the passengers all frantic to a man
That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear
I'd been busy in the luggage van!

Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal went "All clear!"
They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern
hemisphere!
Skimbleshanks, the railway cat, the cat of the railway train

You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge
Of the sleeping car express
From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards
I would supervise them all more or less

Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
Of the travellers in the first and the third
He established control by a regular patrol
And he'd know at once if anything occurred

He would watch you without winking and he saw what you were
thinking
And it's certain that he didn't approve
Of hilarity and riot so that folk were very quiet
When Skimble was about and on the move

You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks
He's a cat that couldn't be ignored
So nothing went wrong on the northern mail
When Skimbleshanks was aboard

It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den
With their name written up on the door
And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet on
And not a speck of dust on the floor

There was every sort of light you could make it dark or
bright
And a button you could turn to make a breeze
And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face
in
And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze
Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very
brightly
"Do you like your morning tea weak or strong?"

But I just behind him and was ready to remind him
For Skimble won't let anything go wrong
When they crept into their cozy berth and pulled the
counterpane

They ought to reflect that it was very nice
To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice
They can leave all that to the railway cat
The cat of the railway train

Skimbleshanks, the railway cat, the cat of the railway train

In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright
Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was busy keeping on
the watch
Only stopping here and there to catch a flea

They were fast asleep at Crewe
And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the
station
They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle
Where I met the stationmaster with elation

They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police
If there was anything they ought to know about
When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait
For Skimbleshanks will help them to get out

And he gives you a wave of his long brown tail
Which says, "I'll see you again"
You'll meet without fail on the midnight mail
The cat of the railway train

Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!

You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed

He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there!

And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity

Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Macavity's not there!

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffolees!
The original conjuring cat

The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mister Mistoffolees' conjuring turn
And you'll all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

He is quiet, he is small, he is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail

He can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always deceiving you into believing
That he's only hunting for mice

He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it is merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment and then it's gone!
But you find it next week lying on the lawn
And we all say

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Well! My manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But voice has been heard on the roof
When I was curled up by the fire

And I've sometimes been heard by the fire
When I was about on the roof
At least they all heard that somebody purred
Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for
hours
While I was asleep in the hall

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat

And we all say
Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Oh! Well I never was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffolees

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr.
Mistoffolees!

Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamp light the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wing begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moon light
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warming
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sun rise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer

Up up up past the Russell Hotel
Up up up up to the heaviside layer

You've heard of several kinds of cat
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter to understand our character

You've learned enough to take the view
That cats are very much like you
You've seen us both at work and games
And learnt about our proper names
Our habits and habitat
But how would you ad-dress a cat?

So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: A cat is not a dog

So first, your memory I'll jog
And say: A cat is not a dog

With cats, some say, one rule is true
Don't speak 'til you are spoken to

Myself I do not hold with that
I say, you should ad-dress a cat
But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity
You bow, and taking off your hat, ad-dress him in this
form "O Cat!"

Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend
Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream

And you might now and then supply
Some caviar or Straussburg pie
Some potted grouse or salmon paste
He's sure to have his personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim
And call him by his name

A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat

A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect
So this is this and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat!

Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange

I don't know how to love him,
what to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days when I see myself,
I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this,
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man
And I've had so many men before in very many ways,
he's just one more

Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love, let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this, what's it all about

Don't you think it's rather funny that
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been so calm, so cool,
no lover's fool
Running every show, he scares me so

Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love, let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this, what's it all about

Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away, I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so, I want him so, I love him so

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to

Close every door to me, hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night

If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find my own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own

Just give me a number instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter, I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away

If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long.
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true.
Being used to trouble, I anticipate it,
But all the same, I hate it...
Wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I said that I don't care.
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through.
But every time it matters all my words desert me,
So anyone can hurt me, and they do.

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know.
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow.
I won't recall the names and faces of each sad occasion,
But that's no consilation here and now.

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?
(Don't ask anymore)

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today

But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 am from a friend's apartment

I'd like to choose how I hear the news

Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation

I know the way we should spend that day

Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Don't want to know who's to blame, it won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night, bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye

Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday please

I don't want to fight day and night, bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye

Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt of all the pain

Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please.

You must be mistaken
It couldn't have been
You couldn't have seen him yesterday
He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now
I hate it, when he's away!

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.

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 bare 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!

Macavity!
Macavity's a Mystery cat: He's called the Hiddenpaw

For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there

You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air...
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by - street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats ..at cards..
And his footprints are not found in any files of ..Scotland.. Yard's
And when the larder's looted ...or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare
What ever time the deed took place Macavity's not there!

And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by - street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity
Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning...

Optional verse:
Sunlight through the trees in summer,
endless masquerading...
Like a flower, as the day is breaking,
The memory is fading...

Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.

RUSTY
When you good nights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep
You get the feeling that sleep
Is going to stay away tonight.

That's when you hear it coming
That is when you hear the humming of the
Starlight Express, Starlight Express,
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

Want you to take me away
But bring me home before daylight
And in the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just want to say I've been.

I believe in you completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly of the
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

And if you're there
And if you know
Then show me which way
I should go.

Starlight Express, Starlight Express,
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

I guess I am not too good at keeping love life for long
I think I found the answers but the answers' alway wrong..
My first love was my ture love and it should've been my last
The only time I am happy is when I dreaming in the past
Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be
Back than was when we touched the star light

Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you was right
And so you settle forward ever get you though the night
The frame you though was dead may suddnly begin to burn and broken heart can be repaired that's some thing you learn

Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touch the star light

I feel it every moment that I ever shared with you what fools we were to ended a dream that looked like comming ture
Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touched the star light

Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touched the star light

I guess I am not too good at keeping loving life for long I think I found the answers but the answers' alway wrong..

My first love was my ture love and it should been my last the only time I am happy is when I dreaming in the past

Next time you fall in love (Next time you fall in love)it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touch the star light

RUSTY
PEARL, I HAD TO FIND YOU
WHY YOU LOOKING BLUE?
I'M SORRY YOU NEVER FOUND YOUR DREAM TRAIN

PEARL
RUSTY, I HAVE FOUND HIM
BUT YOU WERE LOOKING TOO
FOR THE STARLIGHT EXPRESS
DID YOU HAVE MUCH SUCCESS?

RUSTY
YES, I FOUND HIM OKAY
NOW I'M BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY
ONLY YOU

PEARL
YOU ARE THE STARLIGHT

RUSTY
HAVE THE POWER TO MOVE ME

PEARL
YOU WON THE RACE?

RUSTY
I DID

RUSTY & PEARL
AND TOGETHER WE'LL MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD MOVE IN SYMPATHY
YOU & ME, WE'LL BE SUBLIME

PEARL
ONLY HE

RUSTY
ONLY SHE

RUSTY & PEARL
HAS THE POWER TO MOVE ME
TAKE ME, MAKE ME, HOLD ME, MOULD ME & IMPROVE ME
ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MOVE ME

The Phantom Of The Opera / Emmy Rossum & Gerard Butler


(Christine)
In sleep he sang to me,
꿈결속에서 그는 제게 노래를 불렀어요
in dreams he came...
꿈속에서 그는 제게 다가왔어요...
that voice whitch calls to me
저를 부르는
and speaks my name...
제 이름을 부르는 그 음성은. . .
And do I dream again?
그럼 지금 나는 다시 꿈을 꾸고 있나요?
For now I find
전 이제 알아요
the Phantom of the Opera is there
오페라의 유령은
inside my mind...
제 마음속에 있어요...

(Phantom)
Sing once again with me
나와 함께 다시 노래해요
our strange duet...
우리의 이 기괴한 이중창을요...
My power over you
당신을 지배하는 나의 힘은
grows stronger yet...
점점 더 강해지는군요
And though you turn from me
당신은 나를 피해
to glance behind,
시선을 외면한다고 하더라도
the Phantom of the Opera is there
오페라의 유령은
inside your mind...
이미 당신 마음속에 있어요. . .

(Christine)
Thoses who have seen your face
당신을 본 사람들은
draw back in fear...
공포로 뒤로 물러서요...
I am the mask you wear...
전 당신이 쓰고 있는 가면이예요...

(Phantom)
It"s me they hear...
그들이 들었던 것은 내 목소리...

(Both)
Your/my spirit and your/my voice
당신의(제) 영혼과 당신의(제) 목소리는
in one combined
하나로 뒤섞져요
The Phantom of the Opera is there
오페라의 유령은
inside you/my mine...
당신의(제)마음속에 존재하고 있어요

(Phantom)
In all your fantasies,
당신의 모든 환상 속에서
you always knew
당신은 항상 알았어요
that man and mystery...
그 남자와 미스테리는...

(Christine)
were both in you...
바로 당신 안에 있다는 것을...

(Both)
And in this labyrinth
그리고 아무것도 보이지 않는
where night is blind,
이러한 밤의 미로에서
The phantom of the opera is
오페라의 유령은
there/here, inside your/my mind
당신의(제) 마음속에 있어요

(Phantom)
Sing, my angel of music
노래하라,
음악의 천사여

(Christine)
He? there
그가 여기 있네
The Phantom of the Opera...
오페라의 유령...
He? there
그가 여기 있네
The Phantom of the Opera...
오페라의 유령...
He? there
그가 여기 있네

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes the imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write,
For I compose the music of the night.

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
There you trust the music of the night

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see,
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you,
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess you,
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world,
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before,
Close your eyes and let music set you free,
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night.

CHRISTINE:
Think of me
think of me fondly, when
we've said goodbye
remember me
once in a while, please
promise me you'll try

Then you find,
that once again you long,
to take your heart back and be free,
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

CHRISTINE:
We never said
our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea...
but please promise me,
that sometimes
you will think of me!

Think of me
think of me waking, silent
and resigned...
imagine me, trying too hard to
put you from my mind...

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do...
there will never be a day when
I won't think of you

RAOUL:
Can it be,
Can it be Christine...
Bravo!

What a change,
You're really not a bit
The gawkish girl that once you were
She may not remember me,
But I remember her

CHRISTINE:
Flowers fade, the fruits of summers fade
they have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me that sometimes
that you will think of me

RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
Christine, that's all I ask of you

CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
say the word and I will follow you.

TOGETHER
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning.

CHRISTINE
Say you love me!
RAOUL
You know I do.

RAOUL &
CHRISTINE
Love me, that's all I ask of you.
(they kiss)

RAOUL &
CHRISTINE
Anywhere you go, let me go too.
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

CHRISTINE
I must go-
They'll wonder where I am
Wait fo me Raoul!

RAOUL
Christine I love you!

CHRISTINE
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!

RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!

CHRISTINE
You'll guard me and you'll guide me
(they hurry off and the phantom emerges from behind the statue)

Andrew Lloyd Webber
from _Aspects of Love_

Seeing is believing
And in my arms I see her
She's here, really here
Really mine now
She seems at home here
Seeing is believing
I dreamt that it would be her
At last life is full
Life is fine now
Whatever happens, one thing is certain
Each time I see a train go by
I'll think of us
The night, the sky, forever
Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
I'm touched and my head won't stop spinning
>From winning her love

He's young, very young
But a feeling...
I feel I know him
Seeing is believing
And I like what I see
I like where I am
What I'm feeling
What are we doing?
Can you believe it?
A starving actress and a starstruck boy
Oh well, I might as well enjoy
The moment

She's warm, and she's wild
And appealing
I feel I know her

Seeing is believing
I never thought I'd be here
Is this really real
Or am I dreaming?
No way of knowing
Where this is leading
It's fun forgetting who we are
Who cares when now the world is far behind us?

Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
We touched and my head won't stop spinning
>From winning your love

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die

Love can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before

Love will turn your world around
And that world will last for ever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love bursts in and suddenly
All our wisdom disappears

Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we make are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never, never let you be the same

Love will never, never let you be the same!

Sure I came out here to make my name
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
Wanted my parking space at Warner's
But after a year, a one room hell
A murphy bed, a rancid smell
Wallpaper peeling at the corners

Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
Secretive and rich, a little scary
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
Waiting there to swallow the unwary

Dreams are not enough to win a war
Out here they're always keeping score
Beneath the tan the battle rages
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass
We do whatever pays the wages

Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard
Getting here is only the beginning
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard
Once you've won you have to go on winning

You think I've sold out?
Dead right I've sold out!
I just keep waiting for the right offer
Comfortable quarters, regular rations
24-hour Five Star room service
And if I'm honest, I like the lady
I can't help being touched by her folly
I'm treading water, taking the money
Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!

L.A.'s changed a lot over the years
Since those brave gold rush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could go end of the line
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine
But in those dreams were hidden dragons

Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard
Swamped with every kind of false emotion
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean

She was sinking fast, I threw a rope
Now I have suits and she has hope
It seemed an elegant solution
One day this must end, it isn't real
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
Before tomorrrow's execution

Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard
Destination for the stony-hearted
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard
Everyone's forgotten how they started
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!

Ring out the old, bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we in love before tonight?

I don't need a crowded ballroom everything I need is here
If your with me next year will be
The perfect year

No need to hear the music play,
You eyes say all there is to say
The stars can fade and they can shine
'Long as your face is next to mine

I don't need a crowded ball room everything I need is here
If your with me next year will be
The perfect year

We don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
If your with me next year will be
The perfect year

It's New Year's Eve and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one goodbye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart

We don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
And face to face we will embrace
The perfect year
Oh, we don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
And face to face we shall embrace
The perfect year
Ahh, the perfect year

They don't want me any more
They all say I'm through
Well, it's time they knew

With one look, I can break your heart
With one look, I play every part
I can make your sad heart sing
With one look you'll know, all you need to know

With one smile, I'm the girl next door
Or the love that you've hungered for
When I speak it's with my soul
I can play any role

No words can tell
The stories my eyes tell
Watch me when I frown
You can't write that down

You know, I'm right
It's there in black and white
When I look your way
You'll hear what I say

Yes, with one look, I put words to shame
Just one look sets the screen aflame
Silent music starts to play
One tear from my eye makes the whole world cry

With one look they'll forgive the past
They'll rejoice, I've returned at last
To my people in the dark
Still out there in the dark

Silent music starts to play
With one look you'll know, all you need to know

With one look, I'll ignite a blaze
I'll return to my glory days
They'll say
Norma's back at last

This time I'm staying
I'm staying for good, I'll be back
Where I was born to be
With one look, I'll be me

I dont know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here
Yes, a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry,
And I need a moment.

The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always.
Feel the early morning madness,
Feel the magic in the making,
Why, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you.
I'm trembling now, you cant know how I've missed you.
Missed the fairy tale adventures
In this ever spinning playground.
We were young together.

I'm coming out of makeup,
The lights already burning.
Not long until the cameras will start turning.
And the early morning madness,
And the magic in the making,
Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

I dont want to be alone,
That's all in the past.
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last.

And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it.
Could I stop my hand from shaking,
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?

The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
So much to say, not just today, but always.
We'll have early morning madness,
We'll have magic in the making,
Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye,
We taught the world new ways to dream.

This is Control, this is Control
All trains hear this, all trains hear this
All trains to racing mode, all trains to racing mode
Tonight is race night, tonight is race night
All change
All change
All change

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 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 sat

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 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 sat today
Get 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

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
And your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their mind
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Yes, it all gone sour

It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time
On such a concubine

Yes, I can understand that she amuses
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair
That's hardly in your line

It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well
With what you teach and say

It doesn't help us if you are inconsistent
They only need a small
Excuse to put us all away

Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now

Leave her, leave her, she's with me now
If your slate is clean then you can throw stones
If your slate is not then leave her alone

I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow thick and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I came or go

Save Judas
No you're wrong, you're very wrong
How can you say that?
Not one, not one of you

We've been sitting on the fence for far too long

Why let him upset us?
Caiaphas, let him be
All those imbeciles will see
He really doesn't matter

Jesus is important
We've let him go his way before
And while he starts a major war
We theorize and chatter

He's just another scripture
Thumping hack from Galilee

The difference is they call him King
The difference frightens me
What about the Romans?
When they see King Jesus crowned
Do you think they'll stand around
Cheering and applauding?

What about our people?
If they see we've lost our nerve
Don't you think that they deserve
Something more rewarding?

They've got what they want
They think so, anyway
If he's what they want
Why take their toy away?
He's a craze

Put yourself in my place
I can hardly step aside
Can not let my hands be tied
I am law and order

What about our priesthood?
Don't you see that we could fall?
If we are to last at all
We can not be divided

Then say so to the council
But don't rely on subtlety
Frighten them or they won't see

Then we are decided
Then we are decided

MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead oh then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relex think of nothing tonight
APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
JUDAS
Hey-hey-hey
Woman your fine oinment-brand new and expensive
Shoud have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who starving
They matter more than your feet and hair
MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
MARY MAGDALENE, APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
JESUS
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling-
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! while you still have me
Move! while you still see me
You'll be lost and you'll be sorry
When I'm gone
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead oh then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the oinment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight

- This Jesus Must Die -

# PRIEST 1 ;
Good Caiaphas, the council waits for you.
The Pharisees and priests are here for you.

# CAIAPHAS ;
Ah, gentlemen, you know why we are here.
We've not much time, and quite a problem here.

# MOB (outside) ;
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!

# ANNAS ;
Listen to the howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers, and the whole towns on its feet.

# ALL (inside) ;
He is dangerous!

# MOB (outside) ;
Jesus Christ ...Superstar!

# ALL (inside) ;
He is dangerous!

# MOB (outside) ;
Tell us that you're who they say you are!

# PRIEST 2 ;
The man is in town right now to whip up some support

# PRIEST 3 ;
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort.

# ALL (inside) ;
He is dangerous!

# MOB (outside) ;
Jesus Christ Superstar!

# ALL (inside) ;
He is dangerous!

# PRIEST 2 ;
Look Caiaphas -they're right outside our yard!

# PRIEST 3 ;
Quick Caiaphas-go call the Roman guard!

# CAIAPHAS ;
No wait!
We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

# ANNAS ;
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle wonderman, hero of fools.

# PRIEST 3 ;
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans.....

# CAIAPHAS ;
One thing I'll say for him - Jesus is cool.

# ANNAS ;
We dare not leave him to his own devices.
His half-witted fans will get out of control.

# PRIEST 3 ;
But how can we stop him? His glamour increases
By leaps every minute, he's top of the poll.

# CAIAPHAS ;
I see bad things arising.
The crowd crown him king; which the Romans would ban.
I see blood and destruction,
Our elimination because of one man.

Blood and destruction because of one man.

# ALL (inside) ;
Because, because, because of one man.

# CAIAPHAS ;
Our elimination because of one man.

# ALL (inside) ;
Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man.

# PRIEST 3 ;
What then to do about this Jesusmania?

# ANNAS ;
How do we deal with this carpenter king?

# PRIEST 3 ;
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his baptism thing?

# CAIAPHAS ;
Fools! You have no perception!
The stake we are gambling are frighteningly high.
We must crush him completely,
So like John before him, this Jesus must die.
For the sake of the nation, this Jesus must die.

# ALL (inside) ;
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die.

# CAIAPHAS ;
So like John before him, this Jesus must die

# ALL (inside) ;
Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!

(Crowd)
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won't you smile at me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

(Caiaphas)
Tell the rabble to be quiet
We anticipate a riot
This common crowd
Is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song
That they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse
They should disperse

(Crowd)
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C you're alright by me
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

(Jesus)
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the shouting
If ev'ry tongue was still the noise would still continue
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing:

(Crowd, with Jesus)
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won't you fight for me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

If you knew all that I knew

You'd see the truth but you'd live a lie
But you'd live a lie while you live
Your troubles are many

Poor Jerusalem

You only have to die
You only have to die

- Pilate's Dream -

# PILATE ;
I dreamed I met a Galilean,
A most amazing man.
He had that look you rarely find,
The haunted, hunted kind.

I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began
I asked again - he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.

And next, the room was full of wild and angry men.
They seemed to hate this man.
They fell on him him, and then,
They disappeared again.

Then I saw thousands of millions
Crying for this man
And then I heard then mentioning my name,
And leaving me the blame.

(Moneylenders and Merchants)
Roll on up -- for my price is down
Come on in -- for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Name your price I got everything
Come and buy it's all going fast
Borrow cash on the finest terms
Hurry now while stocks still last

(Jesus)
My temple should be a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Get up, get out
My time
Is almost through
Little left to do
After all
I've tried for three years
Seems like thirty
Seems like thirty

(Crowd)
See my eyes I can hardly see
See me stand I can hardly walk
I believe you can make me whole
See my tongue I can hardly talk
See my skin I'm a mass of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand I believe you can make me well
See my purse I'm a poor, poor man
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can heal me Christ
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?

(Jesus)
Oh, there's too many of you, don't push me
Oh, there's too little of me, don't crowd me
Heal yourselves!

I don't know how to love him
Waht to do how to move him
I've been changed yes really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man he's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this- what's it all about
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this- what's it all about
Yet if he said he loved me
I'd be lost I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

- Damned for All Time -

# JUDAS ;
Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me.
It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you.
I had no thought of my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm damned for all time.

I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw.
Jesus can't control me like he did before.
And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too.
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you.
I had no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm damned for all time.

Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise.
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize.
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done?
I had no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm damned for all time.

# ANNAS ;
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses.
We want information. Get up off the floor.

# CAIAPHAS ;
We have the papers we need to arrest him.
You know his movements. We know the law.

# ANNAS ;
Your help in the matter won't go unrewarded.

# CAIAPHAS ;
We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail.
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him...

# ANNAS ;
With no crowd around him....

# CAIAPHAS ;
Then we can't fail.


- Blood Money -

# JUDAS ;
I don't need your blood money!

# CAIAPHAS ;
Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good.

# JUDAS ;
I don't want your blood money!

# ANNAS ;
But you might as well take it. We think that you should.

# CAIAPHAS ;
Think of the things you could do with that money,
Choose any charity - give to the poor.
We've noted your motives. We've noted your feelings.
This isn't blood money - it's a ...

# ANNAS ;
a fee......

# CAIAPHAS ;
A fee nothing more.

# JUDAS ;
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him:
Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane.

# TEMPTRESSES ;
Well done Judas.
Good old Judas.

(Apostles)
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
Till this evening is this morning life is fine

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died

(Jesus)
The end . . .
Is just a little harder when brought about by friends
For all you care this wine could be my blood
For all you care this bread could be my body
The end!
This is my blood you drink
This is my body you eat
If you would remember me when you eat and drink . . .
I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes
I must be out of my head!
Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing
Ten minutes after I'm dead!
One of you denies me
One of you betrays me

(Apostles)
Not I! Who would? Impossible!

(Jesus)
Peter will deny me in just a few hours
Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see
One of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me -

(Judas) Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who -
(Jesus) Why don't you go do it?
(Judas) You want me to do it!
(Jesus) Hurry they are waiting
(Judas) If you knew why I do it . . .
(Jesus) I don't care why you do it!
(Judas) To think I admired you
For now I despise you
(Jesus) You liar - you Judas
(Judas) You wanted me to do it!
What if I just stayed here
And ruined your ambition?
Christ you deserve it!

(Jesus)
Hurry you fool, hurry and go,
Save me your speeches
I don't want to know - Go! Go!

(Apostles)
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
What's that in the bread it's gone to my head
Till this morning is this evening life is fine

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll all talk about us when we've died

(Judas)
You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to
Our ideals die around us and all because of you
But the saddest cut of all -
Someone has to turn you in
Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal
A jaded mandarin
A jaded mandarin
Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin

(Jesus)
Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting!
Oh! They're waiting for you!

(Judas)
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned -
Ah --- ah

(Apostles)
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
What's that in the bread it's gone to my head
Till this evening is this morning life is fine

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried (If I tried)
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died

(Jesus)
Will no-one stay awake with me?
Peter? John? James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter? John? James

I only want to say,
If there is a way,
Take this cup away from me.
For I don't want to taste its poison.
Feel it burn me,
I have changed.
I'm not as sure, as when we started.
Then, I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations,
Tried for three years, seems like thirty.
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die,
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree.
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God,
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God,
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God,
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God,
Why I should die.
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord,
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord,
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord,
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord,
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Have to know, have to know, my Lord,
Have to know, have to know, my Lord,
Why should I die?
Why why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain.
Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die.
You're far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why.
Alright, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See, see, see how I die!
Oh, see, see how I die!

Then I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety.
Why then am I scared to finish what I started,
What you started - I didn't start it.
God, thy will is hard,
But you hold every card.
I will drink your cup of poison.
Nail me to your cross and break me.
Bleed me, beat me.
Kill me. Take me, now!
Before I change my mind.

- The Arrest -

# JUDAS ;
There he is! They're all asleep -- the fools.

# JESUS ;
Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?

# PETER ;
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening.

# PETER and APOSTLES ;
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening.(repeat)
Hang on Lord,
We're going to fight for you!(repeat)

# JESUS ;
Put away your sword
Don't you know that it's all over?
It was nice, but now it's gone.
Why are you obsessed with fighting?
Stick to fishing from now on.

# CROWD ;
Tell me Christ how you feel tonight.
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?
Do you think you may retire?
Did you think you would get much higher?
How do you view your coming trial?
Have your men proved at all worth while?

Come with us to see Caiaphas!
You'll just love the High Priest's house.
You'll just love seeing Caiaphas!
You'll just die in the High Priest's house.
Come on God this is not like you.
Let us know what you're going to do.
You know what you're supporter's feel;
You'll escape in the final reel.

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight.
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?

Come with us to see Caiaphas.
You'll just love the High Priest's house.
You'll just love seeing Caiaphas.
You'll just die in the High Priest's house.

Now we have him!
Now we've got him!

# CAIAPHAS ;
Jesus, you must realize the serious charges facing you.
You say your the Son of God in all your handouts...
Well, is it true?

# JESUS ;
That's what you say, you say that I am.

# ANNAS ;
There you have it gentlemen.
What more evidence do we need?
Judas, thank you for the victim.
Stay a while and you'll see it bleed!

# CROWD ;
Now we have him!
Now we have got him!
Take him to Pilate! Take him to Pilate!(repeat)

(Maid by the Fire)
I think I've seen you somewhere
I remember
You were with that man
They took away
I recognize your face

(Peter)
You've got the wrong man, lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where
He was tonight
Never near the place

(Soldier)
That's strange
For I am sure I saw you with him
You were right by his side
And yet you deny it?

(Peter)
I tell you
I was never ever with him

(Old Man)
But I saw you too
It looked just like you

(Peter)
I DON'T KNOW HIM!

(Mary Magdalene)
Peter don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead

(Peter)
I had to do it
Don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me

(Mary Magdalene)
It's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew

(PILATE)
Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway?
Who is this unfortunate?

(SOLDIER)
Someone Christ, King of the Jews.

(PILATE)
Oh, so this is Jesus Christ, I am really quite surprised.
You look so small,
Not a king at all.
We all know that you are news,
But are you king? King of the Jews?

(JESUS)
That's what you say.

(PILATE)
What do you mean by that?
That is not an answer.
You're deep in trouble friend,
Someone Christ, King of the Jews.How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate?
An amazing thing, this silent king.
Since you come from Galilee, then you need not come to me.
You're Herod's race! You're Herod's case!

(MOB)
Ho-ho Sanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Heysanna Ho and how
Hey JC, JC please explain to me,
You had everything. Where is it now?

- King Herod's Song -

(Try It and See)

# HEROD ;
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
You've been getting quite a name all around the place.
Healing cripples. Raising from the dead.
And now I understand you're God.
At least, that's what you've said.

So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're divine; change my water into wine.
That's all you need do, and I'll know it's all true.
Come on, King of the Jews.

Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here.
You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year.
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie.
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try.

So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're no fool; walk across my swimming pool.
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free.
Come on, King of the Jews.

I only ask things I'd ask any superstar.
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
Oh~I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan.
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man.

So, if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread. You can do it on your head.
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
Come on, King of the Jews!

Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ?
Mr. Wonderful Christ?
You're a joke. You're not the Lord. You're nothing but a fraud.
Take him away. He's got nothing to say!

Get out you King of the Jews!
Get out a here!
Get out of my life!

- Could We Start Again Please? -

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
I've been living to see you.
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this.
This was unexpected. What do I do now?
Could we start again please?

I've been very hopeful so far.
Now for the first time I think we're going wrong.
Hurry up and tell me this is just a dream.
Could we start again please?

# PETER ;
I think you've made your point now.

# MARY MAGDALENE AND PETER ;
You've even gone a bit too far to get the message home.

# PETER ;
Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt.
So could we start again please?

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Could we start again, please?

# PETER ;
I've been living to see you.

- Judas' Death -

# JUDAS ;
My God! I saw him. He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe for our good
And I'd save him, if I could!

# ANNAS ;
Cut the confessions. Forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.
The mob turned against him. You backed the right horse.

# CAIAPHAS ;
What you have done will be the saving of Israel.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages for one little kiss.

# JUDAS ;
Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me to.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.

I have been splattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and mud.
I have been splattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and

the slime and the mud!


I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a King. He is just the same
As any one I know.
He scares me so!

When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
Ah~!

My mind is in darkness now.
My God, I am sick. I've been used.
And you knew, all the time.
God, I will never know why you chose me...
for your crime...bloody crime...your foul bloody crime.
You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me!
Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered ...

# TEMPTRESSES ;
Poor old Judas.
So long Judas.

- Trial Before Pilate -

(Including the 39 lashes)
# PILATE ;
And so the King is once again my guest.
And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?

# CAIAPHAS ;
We turned to Rome to sentence Nazareth.
We have no law to put a man to death.
We need him crucified. It's all you have to do.
We need him crucified. It's all you have to do.

# PILATE ;
Talk to me Jesus Christ.
You have been brought here
Manacled and beaten by your own people.
Do you have the faintest idea why you deserve it?
Listen King of the Jews,
Where is your kingdom?
Look at me. Am I a Jew?

# JESUS ;
I have no kingdom in the world I'm through.

# MOB ;
Talk to me Jesus Christ

# JESUS ;
There may be a kingdom for me somewhere. If I only knew.

# PILATE ;
Then you are a King?

# JESUS ;
It's you that say I am.
I look for truth and find that I get damned.

# PILATE ;
But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths. Are mine the same as yours?

# MOB ;
Crucify him! Crucify him!

# PILATE ;
What do you mean? You'd crucify your King?

# MOB ;
We have no King but Ceaser!

# PILATE ;
He's done no wrong. No, not the slightest thing.

# MOB ;
We have no King but Ceaser! Crucify him!

# PILATE ;
I see no reason. I find no evil.
This man is harmless, so why does he upset you?
He's just misguided, thinks he's important.
But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him!

# MOB ;
Crucify him! Crucify him!

[39 lashes]

# PILATE;
Where are you from Jesus?
What do you want Jesus?
Tell me.
You've got to be careful.
You could be dead soon,
Could well be.
Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands?
How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand.

# JESUS ;
You have nothing in your hands.
Any power you have comes to you from far beyond.
Everything is fixed. and you can't change it.

# PILATE ;
You're a fool Jesus Christ! How can I help you?

# MOB ;
Pilate, Crucify him!
Remember Ceaser. You have a duty.
To keep the peace, so crucify him!
Remember Ceaser! You'll be demoted!
You'll be deported! Crucify him!

# PILATE ;
Don't let me stop your great self-destruction.
Die if you want to you misguided martyr!
I wash my hands of you demolition.
Die if you want to you innocent puppet!

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land?
If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?

AUCTIONEER
Sold. Your number, sir? Thank you.

665, ladies and gentlemen: a papier-mache
musical box, in the shape of a barrel-organ.
Attached, the figure of a monkey in Persian
robes playing the cymbals. This item,
discovered in the vaults of the theatre, still in
working order.

PORTER (holding it up)
Showing here. (He sets it in motion)

AUCTIONEER
My I start at twenty francs? Fifteen, then?
Fifteen I am bid.

(the bidding continues. RAOUL. eventually
buys the box for thirty francs)

Sold, for thirty francs to the Vicomte de
Chagny. Thank you, sir.

(The box is handed across to RAOUL. He studies it, as
attention focuses on him for a moment)

RAOUL (quietly, half to himself, half to the box)
A collector's piece indeed . . .
every detail exactly as she said . . .

She often spoke of you, my friend ....
Your velvet lining, and your figurine of lead...

Will you still play,
when all the rest of us are dead?

(Attention returns to the AUCTIONEER, as he resumes)

AUCTIONEER
Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of
you may recall the strange affair of the
Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully
explained. We are told ladies and gentlemen,
that this is the very chandelier which figures in
the famous disaster. Our workshops have
restored it and fitted up parts of it with wiring
for the new electric light, so that we may get a
hint of what it may look like when re-
assembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the
ghost of so many years ago with a little
illumination, gentlemen?

I closed my eyes drew the curtain. to see for certain what I thought I knew 나는 눈을 감고 커튼을 쳤네. 내가 안다고 생각한 것을 확실히 보기 위해 Far far away someone was weeping But the world was sleeping any dream will do 머나먼 곳에서 어떤이가 울고 있었지만 세상은 자고 있었네. 어떤 꿈도 괜찮아 I wore my coat with golden lining bright color shining wonderful and new 난 금빛 안감을 댄 코드를 입었지 밝은 색깔이 멋지고 신선하게 반짝이는 And in the east the dawn was breaking And the world was waking any dream will do 그리고 동녁에서 동이 터왔네 그리고 세상은 잠을 깨고 있었지. 어떤 꿈도 괜찮아 A crash of drum, a flash of light my golden coat flew out of sight 요란한 북소리, 빛의 반짝임 내 금빛 코트는 시야에서 사라졌네. The color faded into darkness. I was left alone. may I return to the begining. 그 색깔은 어둠속에 사라지고, 나는 홀로 남았네 나 처음으로 돌아갈 수만 있다면 The light is dimming and the dream is too the world and I, we are still waiting still hesitating,any dream will do 빛은 희미해져 가고 꿈 또한 그렇다네 세상과 나. 우리는 아직도 기다리고 있네 아직도 머뭇거리며, 어떤 꿈도 괜찮아

Way way back many centuries ago, Not long after the Bible began Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, A fine example of a family man. Jacob, Jacob and sons, Depended on farming to earn their keep. Jacob, Jacob and sons, Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep. Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation Thanks to the number of children he had He was also known as Israel, but most of the time His sons and his wives used to call him Dad. Jacob, Jacob and sons, Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook Jacob, Jacob and sons, A remarkable family in anyone's book. Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel With Simeon and Levi the nex in line Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine Jacob, Jacob and sons, Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one Jacob, Jacob and sons, Joseph - Jacob's favourite son Jacob, Jacob and sons Jacob, Jacob and sons Jacob, Jacob and sons Jacob Jacob Jacob Jacob and Sons Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife I never really loved another all my life And Joseph was my joy because He reminded me of her Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then It made the rest feel second best And even if they were - Being told we're also-rans Does not makes us Joseph fans But where they had really missed the boat is We're great guys but no-one seems to notice Joseph's charm and winning smile Failed to slay them in the aisle And his father couldn't see the danger He could not imagine any danger He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son To make it clear that Joseph was the special one So Jacob bought his son a coat A multi-coloured coat to wear Joseph's coat was elegant, The cut was fine The tasteful style was the Ultimate in good design And this is why it caught the eye A king would stop and stare And when Joseph tried it on He knew his sheepskin days were gone Such a dazzling coat of many colours How he loved his coat of many coloures In a class above the rest It even went well with his vest Such a stunning coat of many colours How he loved his coat of many colours It was red and yellow and green and Brown and blue Joseph's brothers weren't Too pleased with what they saw We have never liked him All that much before And now this coat Has got our goat We feel life is unfair And when Joseph graced the scene His brothers turned a shade of green His astounding clothing took the biscuit Quite the smoothest person in the district I look handsome, I look smart I am walking work of art Such a dazzling coat of colours How I love my coat of many colours It was red and yellow and green and brown And scarlet and black and ochre and peach And ruby and olive and violet and fawn And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve And cream and crimson and silver and rose And azure and lemon and russet and grey And purple and white and pink and orange And red and yellow and green and brown and Scarlet and black and ochre and peach And ruby and olive and violet and fawn And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve And cream and crimson and silver and rose And azure and lemon and russet and grey And purple and white and pink and orange And blue

[Narrator]
Next day, far from home
The brothers planned the repulsive crime

[Brothers]
Let us grab him now
Do him in, while we've got the time

[Narrator]
This they did and made the most of it
Tore his coat and flung him in a pit

[Brothers]
Let us leave him here
All alone and he's bound to die

[Narrator]
Then some Ishmaelites
A hairy crew came riding by

In a flash the brothers changed their plan

[Brothers]
We need cash! Let's sell him if we can!

[Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children]
Poor, poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?
Poor, poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?

[Brothers]
Could you use a slave,
you hairy bunch of Ishmaelites?
Young, strong, well-behaved
Going cheap, and he reads and writes

[Narrator]
In a trice the dirty deal was done
Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son
Then the Ishmaelites galloped off with the slave in tow
Off to Egypt where Joseph was not keen to go
It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell

[Joseph]
And I don't speak Egyptian very well

[Narrator]
Joseph's brothers tore his precious multi-colored coat
Having ripped it up they next attacked a passing goat
Soon the wretched creature was no more
They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore

Oh now brothers, how low can you stoop?
You make a sordid group, hey, how low can you stoop?
Poor, poor Joseph, sold to be a slave
Situation's grave, hey, sold to be a slave
Sold to be a slave

Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons -- well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to

There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get my
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph the things that you stood for
Like -- er, truth and light never die

When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows not fear
To wrestle with a goat
His blood-stained coat is tribute to his final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak but his soul's in paradise

There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Carve his name with pride and courage
Let no tear be shed
If he had not laid down his life we all would now be dead

There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get my

Close every door to me
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night

If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world

Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own

Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away

If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone

For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own

Go, Go, Go Joseph  Joseph's luck was really out His spirit and his fortune low Alone he sat, alone he thought Of happy times he used to know Hey dreamer, don't be so upset Hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet Go, go go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Don't give up Joseph fight till you drop We've read the book and you come out on top Now into Joseph's prison cell Were flung two very frightened men We don't think that we will ever See the light of day again Hey Joseph, help us if you can We've had dreams that we don't understand Both men were servants of Pharaoh the King Both in the doghouse for doing their thing  One was a baker, a cook in his prime One was a butler, the Jeeves of his time  Tell me of your dreams my friends And I will tell you what they show Though I cannot guarantee To get it right, I'll have a go First the butler, trembling took the floor Nervously he spoke of what he saw There I was standing in front of a vine I picked some grapes and I crushed them to wine I gave some to Pharaoh who drank from ny cup I tried to interpret but I had to give up You will soon be free, my friend So do not worry any more The king will let you out of here You'll buttle as you did before Next the baker rose to tell his dream Hoping it would have a similar theme There I was standing with baskets of bread High in the sky I saw birds overhead Who flew to my baskets and ate every slice Give me the message, like his would be nice Sad to say your dream is not The kind of dream I'd like to get Pharaoh has it in for you Your execution date is set Don't rely on all I said I saw It's just that I have not been wrong before  Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine You and your dream coat ahead of your time Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine You and your dream coat ahead of your time Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time Go, go, go, go, go, go, go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time Ahead of your time Ahead of my time Ahead of your time Ahead of my Time

Pharaoh, he was a powerful man
With the ancient world in the palm of his hand
To all intents and purposes, he was Egypt with a capital E
Whatever he did he was showered with praise

If he cracked a joke then you chortled for days
No one had rights or a vote but the king
In fact you might say he was fairly right wing
When Pharaoh's around, then you get down on the ground
If you ever find yourself near Ramses, get down on your knees

A Pharaoh story, a Pharaoh story

Down at the other end of the scale
Joseph is still doing time in jail
For even though he is in with the guards
A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards
But if my analysis of the position is right

At the end of the tunnel there's a glimmer of light
For all of a sudden indescribable things
Have shattered the sleep of both peasants and kings
Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can interpret could go far, could become a star

Could be famous, could be a big success

Could be a star

Guess what? In his bed Pharaoh had an uneasy night
He had had a dream that pinned him to his sheets with fright
No-one knew the meaning of the dream
What to do? Whatever could it mean?
Then his butler said
I know a bloke in jail
Who is hot on dreams, could explain old Pharaoh's tale
Pharaoh said fetch this Joseph man
I need him to help me if he can
Poor poor Pharaoh, what'cha gonna do?
Dreams are haunting you, hey, what'cha gonna do?

Chained and bound, afraid, alone
Joseph stood before the throne
My service to Pharaoh has begun
Tell me your problems, mighty one

Well I was wandering along by the banks of the river when seven fat cows
came out of the Nile
And right behind them fine healthy animals came seven other cows,
skinny and vile
Well the thin cows ate the fat cows which I thought would do them good
But it didn't make them fatter like I thought a monster supper should
Because the thin ones were as thin as they had ever ever been
This dream has got me baffled, hey Joseph, tell me what it means

C'mon you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't be cruel Joseph
You gotta help me now I beg of you

I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town -- I saw seven
beautiful ears of corn
They were ripe they were golden but you guessed it right
behind them were seven other ears -- tattered and torn
Then the bad corn ate the good corn man they came up right behind
yes they did
And Joseph here's the punchline it's really gonna blow your mind --
flip your lid
Because the bad corn was as bad as it had ever ever been
This dream has got me all s
up, treat me nice and tell me what it means

Hey hey Joseph won't you tell me what this crazy dream really means

(Simeon)
Do you remember the good years in Canaan?
The summers were endlessly gold
The fields were a patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold
We'd stroll down the boulevards together
And everything 'round us was fine

(Jacob)
Now the fields are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine

(Brothers)
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days

(Simeon)
Do you remember those wonderful parties?
The splendour of Canaan's cuisine
Our extravagant, elegant soires
The gayest the Bible has seen
It's funny, but, since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
No-one comes to dinner now
We'd only eat them anyhow
I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams

(Brothers)
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days

(Simeon)
It's funny, but, since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
And how we miss his entertaining dreams

(Brothers)
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did--did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets

(Simeon)
To those Canaan days

(Brothers)
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
