Billy Elliot the Musical Live Page #10

- It'll be all right, Dad.

- All right?

When you come back here, Billy,

everyone you know will be unemployed.

In this village, in the next village

and the village after that,

and the village after that.

In 10 years, there won't be any pits left.

We're dead.

We're dinosaurs.

200,000 men.

We can't all be f***ing dancers.

We'd better get down the hole.

Anyway, congratulations, bonny lad.

I always said you'd get in.

Better get down the hole.

You all right, son?

I'm scared, Grandma.

Scared?

What are you scared of?

I'm not sure I want to go.

Can't I stay here?

No.

No, you can't stay here.

We've rented your room out.

Not funny, Grandma.

Did you really get in?

Uh-huh.

Will you sign this for us?

Shh!

Hello.

Can I help you?

I just came to tell you, I got in.

Oh.

Well, me dad thought you should know.

It's all right.

They sent us a letter when it happened.

Miss, I know I should have come before,

but, you know...

I can imagine.

Okay, girls, toilet break.

Debbie, go on.

And miss, I just wanted

to say thanks, miss.

For everything that you did.

I could never have done

it without you, miss.

Well, good luck, Billy.

Thanks.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye, then.

I'll miss you, miss.

No, you won't, Billy.

You'll get down there and realise

what a crap little dancing school this was.

What a complete second-rate training

I gave you.

And then you'll spend the next five years

unlearning everything I taught you.

- No!

- It's all right.

That's the way it is.

No, you don't understand,

I'll come and see you

every time I come back, miss.

Here's a piece of advice, Billy.

Piss off out of here.

Don't look back. Start everything afresh.

There's sod all left for you here.

You are very f***ing special.

Now, piss off before I start to cry.

Okay.

And, Billy. Good luck.

Good luck as well, miss.

Yeah, thanks.

Thanks, Billy.

Once we built visions

on ground we hewed

We dreamt of justice

and of men renewed

All people equal, in all things

We once were heroes

Once were kings

But all great things must come to pass

We know the first will soon be last

And in the ground we may be lain

But a seed is sown to rise again

So we walk proudly

And we walk strong

All together

We will go as one

The ground is empty

And cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

Knock 'em dead, kiddo.

Yeah.

Thanks, Tony.

See you, sunshine.

We saw a land where wealth was shared

Each pain relieved, each hunger fed

Each man revered, each tyrant killed

Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled

From each man's means to each his need

We saw a time man would be freed

We fought for all the things we saw

The battle's lost but not the war

So we walk proudly

And we walk strong

All together

We will go as one

The ground is empty

And cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We will go down but our heads are proud

We will go down with our voices loud

We will go down but come again

And we all go together when we go

And we all go together when we go

We walk proudly and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly and we walk strong

All together, we will go as one

The ground is empty and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

You'd forget your head if it was loose.

Bye, Mum.

Bye, Billy.

See you soon?

No. I don't think so. Do you?

No. Not really. I wrote you a letter.

A letter?

Me reply.

It's a bit scrumpled.

Dear Mum...

"And please, Mummy know that

"I will always be

"Proud to have known you

"Proud that you were mine

"Proud in everything

"And I promise you this, Mummy"

In everything you do

Always be yourself

Mummy

And I always will be true

Love you forever

Love you forever

Love you forever

Billy.

Mum.

Bye, Mum.

Oi, dancing boy!

See you, Michael.

Yeah, see you, Billy.

Lights!

Girls!

Now, boys!

Oh, yeah!

One more try!

Six, seven, eight!

Five, six, seven, eight!

It doesn't matter if you're large or small

Trapezoid, or short or tall

Even if you can't dance at all

All you really got to do is shine

It doesn't matter if your life's a mess

The whole process will coalesce

Just try to effervesce

All you really gotta do is shine

Everyone is different

It's the natural state

It's a fact, it's plain to see

The world's Grey enough

without making it worse

We need individuality

'Cause what the hell is wrong

with expressing yourself?

What we need is individuality

Move over, dancing boy.

It's time for the next generation.

Whoo!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Keep on smiling!

Oh, yeah!

Oi! Oi! Oi!

We've got to have

something better than that.

We need some backup.

Five, six, seven, eight!

Let's do this!

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Finish!
