Aprils Vergangenheit

Do you want one more tale of the little redhaired girl?
Want to know why I left with a man I once loved?
Do you want to be told how my whole life was ruined?
Want to hear how I never saw my family again?
How I ran from my home far away to the west?
How I turned from my life and never looked back?
I have had my fill of pain
I will not look back again
I would rather die

(Miss Saigon, This Money Is Yours)

Reno und Wyonna

(Wyonna)
You are sunlight and I moon
Joined by the gods of fortune
Midnight and high noon
Sharing the sky
We have been blessed, you and I

(Reno)
You are here like a mystery
I'm from a world that's so different
From all that you are
How in the light of one night
Did we come so far?

(Wyonna)
Outside day starts to dawn

(Reno)
Your moon still floats on high

(Wyonna)
The birds awake

(Reno)
The stars shine too

(Wyonna)
My hands still shake

(Reno)
I reach for you

(both)
And we meet in the sky!

(Wyonna)
You are sunlight and I moon
Joined here
Bright'ning the sky
With the flame
Of love

(both)
Made of
Sunlight
Moonlight

(Miss Saigon, Sun And Moon)

Über Charlie und April…

(Ellen) At the watering holes of the well-to-do
I detect a resistance to
(Nähzirkeldamen) Precisely
(Ellen) Our heroine’s style
(Nähzirkeldamen) We’re glad you noticed

(Ellen) The shooting sticks of the upper-class
(NZD) Give her an inch
(Ellen) Aren’t supporting a single ass
That would rise for the girl
(NZD) She’ll take a mile

(NZD)
Such a shame she wandered into our enclosure
How unfortunate this person has forced us to be blunt
No we wouldn’t mind seeing her at the saloon
But as one of the girls, not as a guest

(Ellen) Could there be in our holy circle
A lack of enthusiasm for
(Bibelkreisdamen) Exactly
(Ellen) O’Bannon’s love
(BKD) You said it Ellen

(Ellen)
Should you wish to cause great distress
In the Oleson’s shop
Just mention her name

(Mrs Oleson)
That isn’t funny

O’Bannon is a fool, breaking every taboo
Seeing a girl like her
And she’s a saloon girl, the last straw
Her only good parts are between her thighs
She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies
Or she could be his last whore

(NZD, BZD)
We have allowed ourselves to slip
We have completely lost our grip
We have declined to an all-time low
Tarts have become the set to know

(Ehemänner der NZD/BZD)
It’s no crime for young men to do as they please
As long as they’re discreet and keep clear of disease
We ignore, we disregard
But they shouldn’t allow a bit on the side
To move to the center where she’s not qualified

(NZD, BZD)
She should get into her head
She should not get out of bed
She should know that she’s not paid
To be loud but to be laid
Slut! Dangerous Jade

(Mrs Oleson)
Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower-class
Graceless and vulgar, uninspired
Can be accepted and admired…

(Evita, Dangerous Jade)

April’s Alptraum…

did you think I'd gone away
this is the face you saw that day
staring at you with open eyes
you're safe in the daylight
but in the dark I rise

I'm the crime that you hid
for you want to forget that you killed, but you did!
you will never be free
not as long as there's me

did you think you would escape the judgement that was planned?
did you think you would escape the truth's avenging hand
just because you have escaped the bound'ries of your ‘profession’?
I'm here! I'm here! I'm never dead
I'm here! I am the guilt inside your head

(Miss Saigon, Kim’s Nightmare)

Courtney’s thoughts on April and John

it's alright
it's alright when you can just turn your head
telling yourself there's no face, she's not real
and you can tell yourself it's all okay

but she's here
and my heart cries this isn't happening
but the truth is cold and real
and I know this storm won't go away

now that I've been told the truth
there's no way to hide
she is not some fling
not just there for one night
now that I've been told the truth
I know that he lied
and I think it was better when I didn't know

her eyes, her voice
the heat that filled the air
I know what pain her life must be
but if it all comes down to her or me
I don't care, I swear, I'll fight

now that I've been told the truth
she's more than a bar girl
I don't hate her even so
now that I've been told the truth
I can't stay the same
who's this man that I trusted?
now I have to know…

Confrontation

(John)
honey, what's wrong?

(Courtney)
April was here
the one I’ve been told has been here before – last night

(John)
oh, my God, it's my fault
I’m her business partner nothing more
Shouldn’t have had her over that long
Was it Mulland who told you?
He shouldn’t have done…

(Courtney)
no, I think it's exactly what I had to be told

(John)
we’re just partners, she’s not my type
I’m not that kind of man anymore
like I was years ago

(Courtney)
don't explain
there's nothing you can say

(John)
please don't doubt me Courtney: you're my love
lots of guys like me are all alone
I have you

(Courtney)
you can say what you want but she's pretty and clever
she’s not as shy and helpless as I am
you've been with me and not shared things you've done
I have forgiven you that -
but don't hold back now
let me see
is it her now
or me?

(John)
let me tell you the way it was
back when I was a different man
back when I didn't have a clue who I am
all I made was a mess, just like many others
I wanted to grow, I wanted to change
the story of my life began again
with you

(John, Courtney)
it's all right now, that's all through
oh Courtney, I should have told you
we'll get past this, start a new life
will you ever trust me again?
all I want
all I have
in my life
in my life now
is you
is you

Courtney’s Verzweiflung und Cassie’s Trost nach Doc Hartes Tod


(Cassie)
Only believe...
See, I’ll help you
How many times have you found
That you were firm on the ground
Though the world around you swayed
You've used everything inside you
So maybe it's time you try to find a brand new power
To shine a light
A light to brighten up your darkest hour

(Courtney)
When your goodnights have been said and you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
Although you count every sheep you get the feeling that sleep
Is gonna stay away tonight
That is when I fear my dreams will never going to come true
Oh my dream, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no
Oh my dream, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Want you to take me away, but bring me back before day
And in the time between
Take me to everywhere, but don't abandon me there
I believe in you completely, though I may be dreaming sweetly
I can hear you
Can't explain you
Oh my dream, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no
Oh my dream, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Oh my dream, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no
Oh my dream, answer me yes
I don't want you to go

(Cassie)
Only you have the power within you
Just believe in yourself, the sea will part before you
Stop the rain, turn the tide
If only you use the power within you
Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what you have within you
Somewhere deep inside

(Courtney)
Oh my dream, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no?
Oh my dream, answer me yes
I don't want you to go

(Cassie)
Courtney, you're blind
Look in your mind
It’s there, nothing's new
Your dreams are no more or less
Than you, Courtney, they’re you
They’re you and
Only you

(Courtney)
They are inside me

(Cassie)
You have the power within you

(Courtney)
I can achieve

(Cassie)
Just believe in yourself

(Courtney)
Anything

(Cassie)
The sea will part before you
Stop the rain and turn the tide

(Courtney)
All the things I didn't believe I could do

(Cassie)
If only you

(Courtney)
They are inside me

(Cassie)
Use the power within you

(Courtney)
I can see it through

(both)
Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what is deep inside

(Cassie)
And I won't let you down as well

Courtney vertraut John nicht

What's going on around me
Is barely making sense
I need some explantations fast
I don't see how we can last
I feel I need a change of cast
Nobody's on nobody's side

And when he gives me reasons
To justify each move
They're getting harder to believe
I know this can't continue
He’s still a lot to prove
There must be more I could achive
But I don't have the nerve to leave

Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side

The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go
No lovers ever faithfull
No contract truly signed
There's nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show

Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head
Nobody's on nobody's side

Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
And never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side

Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side

(Chess, Nobody’s On Nobody’s Side)

...April...

If it is love I will give that love every second I have
And I do
Does I know where he'll lead me to?
Did I plan
Doing all of this for the love of a man?
Well I’d let it happen anyhow
And what I'm feeling now
Has no easy explanation, reason plays no part
Heaven help my heart
I love him too much
What if he sees my whole existence
Turning around a word, a smile, a touch?

One of these days, and it won't be long, he'll know more about me
Than he should
All my dreams will be understood
No surprise
Nothing more to learn from the look in my eyes
Though I know that time is not my friend
I'll fight it to the end
Hoping to keep that best of moments
When the passions start
Heaven help my heart

(Chess, Heaven Help My Heart)

Mary, als sie nach Liliths Abreise am Waldsee saß und über ihre Vergangenheit nachdachte...

Daylight, see the due want the sunflower
And a rose that is faidind
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower
I earn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day

Now old Deuteronomy
Just before dawn
Trough the silence
You feel you could cut with a knife
Anouncas the cat
Who can now be reborn
And come back to a different Jellical life

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Upon up into end
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

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

Burnt out ends of smoky days
still cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies
A nother night is over
A nother day is dawning

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

Sunlight trough the trees in summer
And this maskerading
Like a flower
As the dawn is breaking
The memory is faiding

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

(Cats, Memory)
