Various Artists "And Then There Were None [Christine Estabrook]" |
[Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) Dear Herr Stief - Moritz, I've spent the entire day thinking about your note Truly it touched me � it did � that you would think of me as a friend Of course, I was saddened to hear that you exams went off less well than you'd hoped And that you will not be promoted, come fall And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request� [Moritz:] Uh huh�uh huh�uh huh�well, fine Not like it's even worth the time But still, you know, you wanted more Sorry, it won't change � been there before [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection On the contrary, as Melchior's mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss� [Moritz:] The things that sucks � okay? � for me A thousand bucks, I'm, like, scott free And I mean, please�That's all I need Get real, Jose! By now you know the score� [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) Should you like, I am ready to write your parents I will try to convince them that no one could've worked harder last semester And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune Could have the gravest possible effect on� [Moritz:] You wanna laugh, it's too absurd You start to ask, can't hear a word You're gonna crash and burn Right, tell me more� [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me Your � what shall we call it? � veiled threat that should escape not be possible You would take your own life� [Moritz:] Okay, so now we do the play Act like we so care. No way! You'll write my folks? Well, okay Babe, that's how it goes� [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) My dear boy, the world is filled with men � Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school And, yet, have gone on to brilliant careers Consider our friend� [Moritz:] They'll freak, or won't You toe the line You tell your soul, �Just kill some time.� Will it quit? It will until they don't� They're not my home, not anymore Not like they so were before Still, I'll split, and they'll like� Well, who knows? [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) I any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you Or, on your relationship with Melchior� [Moritz & Boys:] Uh huh�uh huh�uh huh�well, fine Not like it's even worth the time But still, you know, you wanted more Okay, so nothing's changed � heard that before You wanna laugh, it's too absurd You start to ask, can't hear a word You want to crash a burn Right, tell me more You start to cave, you start to cry You try to run, nowhere to hide You want to crumble up, and close that door [Mrs. Gabor] (Spoken) So, head high, Herr Stiefel! And do let me hear from you soon In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours, Fanny Gabor [Moritz:] Just fuck it � right? Enough, that's it You'll still go on � well, for a bit Another day of utter shit And then there were none� [Moritz & Boys:] And, then there were none� And, then there were none� And, then there were none� Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
