"Hung Up"

Time goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly for those who waitNo time to hesitateThose who run seem to have all the funI'm caught upI don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyI don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on you

Waiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Ring ring ring goes the telephoneThe lights are on but there's no-one homeTick tick tock it's a quarter to twoAnd I'm doneI'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for youI know that you're still hesitatingDon't cry for me'cause I'll find my wayyou'll wake up one daybut it'll be too late

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

MADONNA LYRICS

"Mother And Father"

There was a time I was happy in my lifeThere was a time I believed I'd live foreverThere was a time I prayed to Jesus ChristThere was a time I had a motherIt was nice

Nobody else would ever take the place of youNobody else could do the things that you could doNo one else I guess could hurt me like you didI didn't understand, I was just a kid

Oh mother, why aren't you here with meNo one else saw the things that you could seeI'm trying hard to dry my tearsYes father, you know I'm not so free

I've got to give it upFind someone to love meI've got to let it goFind someone that I can care forI've got to give it upFind someone to love meI've got to let it goFind someone that I can care for

There was a time I was happy in my lifeThere was a time I believed I'd live foreverThere was a time I prayed to Jesus ChristThere was a time I had a motherIt was nice

[bridge][chorus]

My mother died when I was fiveAnd all I did was sit and cryI cried and cried and cried all dayUntil the neighbors went away

They couldn't take my lonelinessI couldn't take their phoninessMy father had to go to workI used to think he was a jerk

I didn't know his heart was brokenAnd not another word was spokenHe became a shadow ofThe father I was dreaming of

I made a vow that I would never needAnother person everTurned my heart into a cageA victim of a kind of rage

I gotta give it up[repeat twice]

[chorus]

Find someone that I can care forFind someone that I can care for

I've got to give it up[repeat five times]

I've got to let it goI've got to give it upOh mother, oh fatherI've got to give it up

I gotta give it up[repeat six times]

MADONNA LYRICS

"Intervention"

I got to save my babyBecause he makes me cryI got to make him happyI got to teach him how to fly

I want to take him higherWay up like a bird in the skyI got to calm him down nowI want to save his life

[Chorus:]

And I know that love will change us foreverAnd I know that love will keep us togetherAnd I know, I knowThere is nothing to fearAnd I know that loveWill take us away from here

Sometimes it's such a pleasureSometimes I wanna tear it all downIt's easy to be lazyAnd hard to go away from the crowd

I know the road looks lonelyBut that's just Satan's gameAnd either way my babyWe'll never be the same

[chorus]

In the blink of an eye everything could changeSay hello to your life, now you're living This is it from now onIt's a brand new dayIt was time to wake up from this dream (from this dream)

I know the road looks lonelyBut that's just Satan's gameAnd either way my babyYou'll never be the same

"What It feels Like For A Girl" LYRICS MADONNA

MADONNA LYRICS

"What It feels Like For A Girl"

[Spoken:]Girls can wear jeansAnd cut their hair shortWear shirts and boots'Cause it's OK to be a boyBut for a boy to look like a girl is degrading'Cause you think that being a girl is degradingBut secretly you'd love to know what it's likeWouldn't youWhat it feels like for a girl

Silky smoothLips as sweet as candy, babyTight blue jeansSkin that shows in patches

Strong inside but you don't know itGood little girls they never show itWhen you open up your mouth to speakCould you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girlDo you know what it feels like in this worldFor a girl

Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, babyHands that rest on jutting hips repenting

Hurt that's not supposed to showAnd tears that fall when no one knowsWhen you're trying hard to be your bestCould you be a little less

Do you know what it feels like for a girlDo you know what it feels like in this worldWhat it feels like for a girl

Strong inside but you don't know itGood little girls they never show itWhen you open up your mouth to speakCould you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girlDo you know what it feels like in this worldFor a girl

In this worldDo you knowDo you knowDo you know what it feels like for a girlWhat it feels like in this world

"Mer Girl" LYRICS MADONNA

MADONNA LYRICS

"Mer Girl"

I ran from my house that cannot contain meFrom the man that I cannot keepFrom my mother who haunts me, even though she's goneFrom my daughter that never sleepsI ran from the noise and the silenceFrom the traffic on the streets

I ran to the treetops, I ran to the skyOut to the lake, into the rain that matted my hairAnd soaked my shoes and skinHid my tears, hid my fears

I ran to the forest, I ran to the treesI ran and I ran, I was looking for me

I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailboxPast the apple orchards and the lady that never talksUp into the hills, I ran to the cemeteryAnd held my breath, and thought about your death

I ran to the lake, up into the hillsI ran and I ran, I'm looking there stillAnd I saw the crumbling tombstonesAll forgotten names

I tasted the rain, I tasted my tearsI cursed the angels, I tasted my fears

And the ground gave way beneath my feetAnd the earth took me in her armsLeaves covered my faceAnts marched across my backBlack sky opened up, blinding me

I ran to the forest, I ran to the treesI ran and I ran, I was looking for meI ran to the lakes and up to the hillI ran and I ran, I'm looking there still

And I smelled her burning fleshHer rotting bonesHer decay

I ran and I ranI'm still running away

[Che:]Tell me before I waltz out of your lifeBefore turning my back on the pastForgive my impertinent behaviorBut how long do you think this pantomime can last?Tell me before I ride off in the sunsetThere's one thing I never got clearHow can you claim you're our saviorWhen those who oppose you are stepped on,Or cut up, or simply disappear?

[Eva:]Tell me before you get onto your busBefore joining the forgotten brigadeHow can one person like me, say,Alter the time-honored way the game is played?Tell me before you get onto your high horseJust what you expect me to doI don't care what the bourgeoisie sayI'm not in business for themBut to give all my descamisadosA magical moment or two

[Che and Eva:]There is evil, ever aroundFundamental system of governmentQuite incidental

[Eva:]So what are my chances of honest advances?I'd say lowBetter to win by admitting my sinThan to lose with a halo

[Che:]Tell me before I seek worthier pasturesAnd thereby restore self-esteemHow can you be so short-sightedTo look never further than this week or next weekTo have no impossible dream?

[Eva:]Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelinesAnd mark your adieu with three cheersBut first tell me who'd be delightedIf I said I'd take on the world's greatest problemsFrom war to pollution, no hope of solutionEven if I lived for one hundred years

[Che and Eva:]There is evil, ever aroundFundamental system of governmentQuite incidental

[Eva:]So go, if you're able, to somewhere unstableAnd stay thereWhip up your hate in some tottering stateBut not here, dearIs that clear, dear?

Oh what I'd give for a hundred yearsBut the physical interferesEvery day more, O my CreatorWhat is the good of the strongest heartIn a body that's falling apart?A serious flaw, I hope You know that

[Peron:]But on the other hand, she's all they haveShe's a diamond in their dull gray livesAnd that's the hardest kind of stoneIt usually survivesAnd when you think about it, can you recallThe last time they loved anyone at all?

She's not a bauble you can brush asideShe's been out doing what we just talked about, exampleGave us back our businesses, got the English outAnd when you think about it, well why not doOne or two of the things we promised to?

But on the other hand, she's slowing downShe's lost a little of that magic driveBut I would not advise those critics present to deriveAny satisfaction from her fading starShe's the one who's kept us where we are

[Officers:]She's the one who's kept you where you are

[Officers:]That was the over-the-top, unacceptable suggestionWe didn't approve but we couldn't preventThe games of the wife of the presidentBut to give her pretensions encouragementShe's out of her depth, and out of the question

"And The Money Kept Rolling In (And Out)"

[Che:]And the money kept rolling in from every sideEva's pretty hands reached out and they reached wideNow you may feel it should have been a voluntary causeBut that's not the point my friendsWhen the money keeps rolling in, you don't ask howThink of all the people guaranteed a good time nowEva's called the hungry to her, open up the doorsNever been a fund like the Foundation Eva Peron

[chorus]

Rollin' on out, rollin' on outRollin' on out, rollin' on outOn out

[Che:]And the money kept rolling out in all directionsTo the poor, to the weak, to the destitute of all complexionsNow cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astrayBut that's not the point my friendsWhen the money keeps rolling out you don't keep booksYou can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looksAccountants only slow things down, figures get in the wayNever been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron

MADONNA LYRICS

"The Actress Hasn't Learned The Lines (You'd Like To Hear)"

[Aristocrats:]Thus all fairy stories endOnly an actress would pretendAffairs of state are her latest playEight shows a week, two matineesMy how the worm begins to turnWhen will the chorus girl ever learn?My how the worm begins to turnWhen will the chorus girl ever learn?

The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hearShe won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your hallsShe won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolasShe'll simply take control as you disappear

[Che:]Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments soundLittle has changed for us peasants down here on the groundI hate to sound childish, ungrateful, I don't like to moanBut do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?

[Eva:]Everything done will be justified by my foundation

[Eva:]Did you hear that? They called me a whore!They actually called me a whore!

[Italian admiral:]But Signora Peron it's an easy mistakeI'm still called an admiralYet I gave up the sea long ago

[Aide #2:]More bad news from Rome; she met with the PopeShe only got a rosary, a kindly word[Che:]I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the birdBut papal decorations, never a hope[Aide #1:]She still looked the part at St. Peter's, caught the eye

MADONNA LYRICS

"High Flying, Adored"

[Che:]High flying, adoredSo young, the instant queenA rich beautiful thing, of all the talentsA cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saintYou were just a backstreet girlHustling and fighting, scratching and biting

High flying, adoredDid you believe in your wildest momentsAll this would be yoursThat you'd become the lady of them all?

Were there stars in your eyesWhen you crawled in at nightFrom the bars, from the sidewalksFrom the gutter theatricalDon't look down, it's a long, long way to fall

High flying, adoredWhat happens now, where do you go from here?For someone on top of the worldThe view is not exactly clearA shame you did it all at twenty-sixThere are no mysteries nowNothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you

High flying, adoredI hope you come to terms with boredomSo famous so easily, so soonIt's not the wisest thing to be

You won't care if they love youIt's been done beforeYou'll despair if they hate youYou'll be drained of all energyAll the young who've made it would agree

[Eva:]High flying, adoredThat's good to hear but unimportantMy story's quite usualLocal girl makes good, weds famous manI was stuck in the right place at the perfect timeFilled a gap, I was luckyBut one thing I'll say for meNoone else can fill it like I can

MADONNA LYRICS

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

[Eva:]It won't be easy, you'll think it strangeWhen I try to explain how I feelThat I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe meAll you will see is a girl you once knewAlthough she's dressed up to the ninesAt sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to changeCouldn't stay all my life down at heelLooking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedomRunning around, trying everything newBut nothing impressed me at allI never expected it to

[Chorus:]

Don't cry for me ArgentinaThe truth is I never left youAll through my wild daysMy mad existenceI kept my promiseDon't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fameI never invited them inThough it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusionsThey are not the solutions they promised to beThe answer was here all the timeI love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Have I said too much?There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.But all you have to do is look at me to knowThat every word is true

[Eva:]It doesn't matter what those morons sayOur nation's leaders are a feeble crewThere's only twenty of them anywayWhat is twenty next to millions whoAre looking to you?

All you have to do is sit and waitKeeping out of everybody's wayWe'll ... you'll be handed power on a plateWhen the ones who matter have their sayAnd with chaos installedYou can reluctantly agree to be called

[Peron:]There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're aheadFor distance lends enchantment, and that is whyAll exiles are distinguished, more important, they're not deadI could find job satisfaction in Paraguay

[Eva:]This is crazy defeatist talkWhy commit political suicide, there's no riskThere's no call for any action at allWhen you have unions on your side

[Workers:]A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untiedA new Argentina, the voice of the peopleCannot be denied

[Eva:]Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that you doI've been unemployed, and I've starved and I've hated it tooBut I found my salvation in Peron, may the nationLet him save them as he saved me

[All:]A new Argentina, a new age about to beginA new Argentina, we face the world togetherAnd no dissent within

[Peron:]There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're aheadI can see us many miles away, inactiveSipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast in bedSleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive

[Eva:]Don't think I don't think like youI often get those nightmares tooThey always take some swallowingSometimes it's very difficult to keep momentumIf it's you that you are followingDon't close doors, keep an escape clauseBecause we might lose the Big Apple

But would I have done what I didIf I hadn't thought, if I hadn't knownWe would take the country

[Eva:]Peron has resigned from the army and this we avowThe descamisados are those he is marching with nowHe supports you, for he loves youUnderstands you, is one of youIf not, how could he love me?

[All:]A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untiedA new Argentina, the voice of the peopleCannot be, and must not be denied

[Che:]How annoying that they have to fight elections for their causeThe inconvenience, having to get a majorityIf normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applauseThere are other ways of establishing authority

[All:]A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untiedA new Argentina, the voice of the peopleCannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied.

[Army:]She won't be kept happy by her nights on the tilesShe says it's his body, but she's after his filesSo get back on to the street

She should get into her headShe should not get out of bedShe should know that she's not paidTo be loud but to be laidThe evidence suggestsShe has other interestsIf it's her who's using himHe's exceptionally dim

I'm not talking of a hurried nightA frantic tumble then a shy goodbyeCreeping home before it gets too lightThat's not the reason that I caught your eyeWhich has to imply, I'd be good for youI'd be surprisingly good for you

[Peron:]Please go on, you enthrall meI can understand you perfectlyAnd I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing meI would be good for you too

"The Lady's Got Potential" LYRICS MADONNA

MADONNA LYRICS

"The Lady's Got Potential"

[Che:]In June of forty-three there was a military coupBehind it was a gang called the G.O.U.Who did not feel the need to be elected

They had themselves a party at the point of a gunThey were slightly to the right of Atilla the HunA bomb or two and very few objected

Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeBacks to the wall, aim highWe're having a ballThe tank and bullet rule as democracy dies

The lady's got potential, she was setting her sightsOn making it in movies with her name in lightsThe greatest social climber since Cinderella

OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friendsAnd we all know a career dependsOn knowing the right fella to be stellar

Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeBacks to the wall, aim highWe're having a ballThat's how we get the government we deserve

Now the man behind the President calling the shotsInvolved so discreetly in a lot of their plotsWas Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator

He began in the army out in Italy soSaw Mussolini's rise from the very front rowI reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later

Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, dieThey haven't a chance, bye byeThe terrorists advanceBut one guy doesn't dirty his handsPeron was biding time out in the slow lane

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeKeep away from the wallBut one guy was having a ballThe tragedy, a golden chance for Peron

He organized a concert with incredible flairIn aid of all the victims, such a grand affairPoliticians, actors, stars of every flavor

It was January twenty-second, 1944A night to remember, yeah, that's for sureFor that's the night that Peron first met EvaFor that's the night that Peron first met Eva

[Magaldi:]Eva beware your ambitionIt's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wildThis in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman Not even a woman, not very much more than a childAnd whatever you say, I'll not steal you away

MADONNA LYRICS

"On This Night Of A Thousand Stars"

[Che:]Now Eva Peron had every disadvantageYou need if you're gonna succeedNo money, no cashNo father, no bright lightsThere was nowhere she'd beenAt the age of fifteen

As this tango singer found outAgustin MagaldiWho has the distinction of being the firstMan to be of use to Eva Duarte

[Magaldi:]On this night of a thousand starsLet me take you to heaven's doorWhere the music of love's guitarsPlays for evermore

In the glow of those twinkling lightsWe shall love through eternityOn this night in a million nightsFly away with me

I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as thisBut now I know that it canI used to wander alone without a love of my ownI was a desperate manBut all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I'd fearedWasn't there anymoreOn that magical day when you first came my wayMi amor

On this nightOn this nightOn this night of a thousand starsLet me take you to heaven's doorWhere the music of love's guitarsPlays for evermore

"Oh What A Circus" LYRICS MADONNA

MADONNA LYRICS

"Oh What A Circus"

[Che:]Oh what a circus, oh what a showArgentina has gone to townOver the death of an actress called Eva PeronWe've all gone crazyMourning all day and mourning all nightFalling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

Oh what an exit, that's how to goWhen they're ringing your curtain downDemand to be buried like Eva PeronIt's quite a sunsetAnd good for the country in a roundabout wayWe'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?

She had her moments, she had some styleThe best show in town was the crowdOutside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"But that's all gone nowAs soon as the smoke from the funeral clearsWe're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

[Crowd:]

Salve regina mater misericordiaeVita dulcedo et spes nostraSalve salve reginaAd te clamamus exules filii EvaAd te suspiramus gementes et flentesO clemens o piaHail, oh queen, mother of mercy Our life, sweetness, and hope Hail, hail, oh queen To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve To you we sigh, mourning and weeping Oh clement, oh loving one

[Che:]You let down your people EvitaYou were supposed to have been immortalThat's all they wanted, not much to ask forBut in the end you could not deliver

Sing you fools, but you got it wrongEnjoy your prayers because you haven't got longYour queen is dead, your king is throughAnd she's not coming back to you

Show business kept us all aliveSince seventeen October 1945But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thinThat's a pretty bad state for a state to be in

Instead of government we had a stageInstead of ideas, a prima donna's rageInstead of help we were given a crowdShe didn't say much, but she said it loud

Sing you fools, but you got it wrongEnjoy your prayers because you haven't got longYour queen is dead, your king is throughShe's not coming back to you

[Crowd:]Salve regina mater misericordiaeVita dulcedo et spes nostraSalve salve regina PeronAd te clamamus exules filii EvaAd te suspiramus gementes et flentesO clemens o pia

[Eva:]Don't cry for me ArgentinaFor I am ordinary, unimportantAnd undeserving of such attentionUnless we all are, I think we all areSo share my glory, so share my coffinSo share my glory, so share my coffin

[Che:]It's our funeral too

[Julieta:] Carlos.

[Carlos:] Julieta, mi querida Julieta.

[Julieta:] Carlos, no tendrias que haber venido.

[Carlos:] Julieta, ni un millar de soldados me puede detener.

[Julieta:] Pero es peligroso, mi padre te arrestara.

[Carlos:] Tenia que venir.

[Julieta:] ?Carlos!

[Carlos:] Hasta este momento, mis labios no han osado murmurarla palabra amor.

[Julieta:] Carlos.

[Carlos:] Y mucho mas que eso, mi ser todo vibra de deseo.?Que fue eso? Algo se movio en el balcon de tupadre. Si fuera ese truhan de Rodolfo, juro que mi espada nopermanecera en su vaina.

[Julieta:] ?Carlos, ten cuidado! Te quiero, Carlos, te quiero.
