ACT TWO - 20 years later...

lyrics

--CHORUS--

TWENTY YEARS IS SHORT BUT LONG
THE COUNTRYSIDE IS MUCH THE SAME
THE MOON STILL SHINES ON LOVERS
AND THE SUN STILL STREAMS
ITS BRILLIANT FLAME

BUT BABES IN ARMS
GROW UP TO JOIN THE NOISOME CROWD
AND FLOWERS THAT WE PLANTED
CHOKE WITH WEEDS
AND TOWERS NOW ARE STANDING
WHERE FIELDS ONCE WERE PLOWED
SOME MEN WHO ONCE WERE GOOD
HAVE TURNED TO DESPERATE DEEDS

CENTURY NUMBER NINETEEN DIES
AND CENTURY NUMBER TWENTY BLOOMS

(SOLO) AND PEOPLE NOW TALK THROUGH A WIRE

(SOLO) THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE BUSINESS BOOMS

FASHIONS CHANGE FROM BLACK TO BRIGHT

(SOLO) POPULATIONS BURST THE SEAMS

(SOLO) A MAN NAMED JACK HAS RIPPED THE NIGHT

(SOLO) DOCTOR FREUD BELIEVES IN DREAMS

CHANGES BY THE DOZEN

(SOLO) MOVING PICTURES FLICKER

(SOLO) DARWIN IS A MONKEY’S COUSIN

(SOLO) LONDON’S FOG IS THICKER

(Two OLDER WOMEN)
AND OUR MIRRORS SHOW DECAY
WHERE BEAUTY USED TO COME IN VIEW

(DORIAN enters, moving slowly and unsteadily down the street.)

THERE GOES THAT MAN MR. GRAY
HE HASN’T SEEMED TO AGE ONE DAY
SINCE YEARS AGO
WHEN HE FIRST TURNED
THE TENDER AGE OF TWENTY TWO

MY MOTHER TOLD ME
THERE’S A STORY IN
--LA LA LA LA LONDON--
THE TALE OF DORIAN GRAY

THERE’S SOMETHING GORY IN
THE TALE OF DORIAN GRAY

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE THERE’S FIRE
MAIDENS PALE AT THE TALE
OF DORIAN GRAY

TWENTY YEARS IS SHORT BUT LONG
BABES IN ARMS HAVE JOINED THE THRONG
THE MOON STILL SHINES ON LOVERS
AND THE SUN STILL SINGS
ITS BURNING
TIMELESS SONG
