Various - The American And Florence - Nobody's Side songtekst

Je score:








Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus

FLORENCE:

  You want to lose your only friend?

  Well, keep it up, you're doing fine

  Why this humiliation?

  Why treat me like a fool?

  I've taken shit for seven years

  And I won't take it anymore

  THE AMERICAN:

  I'm only teasing Soviets

  With gentle bonhomie

  And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me.

  FLORENCE:

  There's a time and there's a place.

  THE AMERICAN:

  Is this the girl who always said

  She wants to know the truth?

  FLORENCE:

  There's a time and there's a place...

  CHORUS (repeating):

  1956 -- Budapest is rising

  1956 -- Budapest is fighting

  1956 -- Budapest is falling

  1956 -- Budapest is dying

  THE AMERICAN:

  I'd have thought you'd support

  Any attack on these people

  On the people who ran

  Mindlessly over your childhood

  Don't let them fool you for

  Thirty years on they're the same

  They see chess as a war

  Playing with pawns just like Poland

  If you walk out on me

  They will have won their first battle

  Wouldn't your father

  Have begged you to stay in the game?

  FLORENCE:

  He would -- but he didn't know you

  He'd loathe your behaviour and so do I --

  Why'd you have to do this to me?

  What's going on around me

  Is barely making sense

  I need some explanations fast

  I see my present partner

  In the imperfect tense

  And I don't see how we can last

  I feel I need a change of cast

  Maybe I'm 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

  I've still a lot to prove

  There must be more I could achieve

  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 faithful

  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

  Everybody's playing the game

  But nobody's rules are the same

  Nobody's on nobody's side

  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

  Never be the first to believe

  Never be the last to deceive

  Nobody's on nobody's side

  Never make a promise or plan...
