Edward Lucy Elinor #05 - FINAL EXCELLEN T

[intro 15 seconds] [piano, bouncy] [male vocal] [verse 1] Oh my God, don’t be shocked --- stay controlled. It’s quite certain ---- that Eleanor doesn’t know. Lucy’s all smiles --- like a Chesher cat She’s ready to pounce --- I’ll wager that. [verse 2] I’ve come for what? --- I can’t remember. It’s best to flee --- --- a note I’ll send her. That Lucy Steele ---- I can’t control. If I had a gun –- I’d start to load. [vocal humming break] [verse 3] Oh wicked thoughts ---- so unbecoming Miss Dashwood, “How is your sister?” I said hum drumming. “Very fine” --- was the brief reply – Lucy smiled – and batted her eyes. [verse 4] Then I stood up --- to make my way. Lucy got up too --- she couldn’t stay. Would I walk her home? – no less no more. Then, suddenly, --- Mary Anne came through the door. [verse] “Oh Edward” she said --- “Please don’t go.” It’s been so long --- we’ve all missed you so. Going so soon, this must not be. Don’t you have time --- for a cup of tea? [verse] I groaned, --- I creaked, I croaked I swore. I fought hard --- to find the door. How I got away --- I can’t record [break] [soft, moderate] The memories gone --- Thank the Lord. [end]
