As we come together

for a marvellous cause

You've shown by your presence

Your deeds and applause

What the people can do

True power is yours

Not the government's

Unless it represents

The people.

One always picks

The easy fight

One praises fools

One smothers light

One shifts

From left to right

Politics

The art of the possible.

Colonel Pern?

Eva Duarte?

I've heard so much about you

I'm amazed

- For I'm only an actress

- For I'm only a soldier

- Nothing to shout about

- One of the thousands

- Only a girl on the air

- Defending the country he loves

But when you act

The things you do affect us all

But when you act

You take us away

from the squalor of the real world

- Are you here on your own?

- Yes. Oh, yes.

So am I

What a fortunate coincidence

Maybe you're my reward

For my efforts here tonight

It seems crazy

But you must believe

There's nothing calculated

Nothing planned

Please forgive me

If I seem naive

I would never want to force your hand

But please understand I'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this

Telling strangers I'm too good to miss

If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so

But you really should know

I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if I'm boring you

But do you understand my point of view

Do you like what you hear

What you see

And would you be

Good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night

A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye

Creeping home before it gets too light

That's not the reason

that I caught your eye

Which has to imply, I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you.

Please go on. You enthral me

I can understand you perfectly

And I like what I hear, what I see

And knowing me

I would be good for you too

I'm not talking

Of a hurried night

A frantic tumble

Then a shy goodbye

Creeping home before it gets too light

That's not the reason

That I caught your eye

Which has to imply I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you.

There is no one, no one at all

Never has been, and never will be a lover

Male or female

Who hasn't an eye on

In fact they rely on

Tricks they can try on their partner

They're hoping their lover

Will help them or keep them

Support them, promote them

Don't blame them, you're the same

Hello and goodbye

I've just unemployed you

You can go back to school

You've had a good run

I'm sure he enjoyed you

Don't act sad or surprised

Let's be friends, civilised

Come on, little one.

Don't sit there like a dummy.

The day you knew would arrive is here.

You'll survive

So move, funny face.

I like your conversation

You've a catchy turn of phrase

You're obviously going through
