Evita Page #2

And

If ever I go to far

It's because of the things you are

Beautiful town

I love you

And

If I need a moment's rest

Give your lover the very best

Real eiderdown

And silence

You're a tramp, you're a treat

You will shine to the death

You are shoddy

But you're flesh, you are meat

You shall have every breath in my body

Put me down for a lifetime of success

Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying

Rio de la Plata

Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio

All I want to know

Stand back, Buenos Aires,

Because you oughta know

What you're gonna get in me

Just a little touch...

Just a little touch...

Just a little touch of star quality.

I don't expect my love affairs

To last for long

Never fool myself

That my dreams will come true

Being used to trouble

I anticipate it

But all the same I hate it

Wouldn't you?

- So what happens now?

- Another suitcase in another hall.

- So what happens now?

- Take your picture off another wall.

- Where am I going to?

- You'll get by, you always have before.

Where am I going to?

Time and time again

I've said that

I don't care

That I'm immune to gloom

That I'm hard through and through

But every time it matters

All my words desert me

So anyone can hurt me

And they do.

- So what happens now?

- Another suitcase in another hall.

- So what happens now?

- Take your picture off another wall.

- Where am I going to?

- You'll get by, you always have before.

Where am I going to?

Call in three months time

And I'll be fine

I know

Well, maybe not that fine

But I'll survive anyhow

I won't recall the names and places

Of each sad occasion

But that's no consolation

Here and now.

- So what happens now?

- Another suitcase in another hall.

- So what happens now?

- Take your picture off another wall.

- Where am I going to?

- You'll get by you always have before.

Where am I going to?

Don't ask any more.

Good night and thank you, whoever

She's in every magazine

Been photographed, seen

She is known

We don't like to rush

but your case has been packed

If she's missed anything

you could give her a ring

But she won't always answer the phone

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies

But we have pretended enough

It's best that we both

stop fooling ourselves

Which means...!

There is no one, no one at all

Never has been and never will be a lover,

male or female

Who hasn't an eye on

In fact they rely on tricks

they can try on their partner

They're hoping their lover

will help them or keep them

Support them, promote them

Don't blame them

You're the same

Good night and thank you, Emilio

You've completed your task

What more can we ask of you now?

Please sign the book

on the way out the door

And that will be all.

If she needs you, she'll call

But I don't think that's likely somehow

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies

But when we were hot

we were hot

I know you'll look back

on the good times we shared

Which means...!

There is no one, no one at all

Never has been

and never will be a lover

Male or female

Who hasn't an eye on.

In fact they rely on

Tricks they can try on their partner

They're hoping their lover

Will help them or keep them

Support them, promote them

Don't blame her

You're the same

There is no soap

No soap like Zaz

No detergent, lotion or oil

With such power

In the shower

It's the mother and father

Of luxury lather

The talk of the bath

The great ointment

One little frolic

With new Zaz carbolic

You're scented

You'll be sent

Good night and thank you, Senor Jabn

We are grateful

You found her a spot on the sound radio

We'll think of you

every time she's on the air

We'd love you to stay

but you'd be in the way

So do up your trousers and go

Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies

The decline into silence and doubt

Our passion was just too intense to survive

Which means...!

This is a club I should never have joined

Someone has made us look fools

Argentine men call the sexual shots

Someone has altered the rules

Fame on the wireless as far as it goes

Is all very well, but every girl knows

She needs a man she can monopolise

With fingers in dozens of different pies

Oh, but it's sad

when a love affair dies.

In June of '43

There was a military coup

Behind 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 gun

They were slightly to the right

of Attila the Hun

A bomb or two

And very few objected.

Just one shell,

And governments fall like flies.

Ka-pow, die!

They stumble and fall.

Bye, bye!

Backs to the wall!

Aim high!

We're having a ball.

The tank and bullet ruled

As democracy died.

The lady's got potential

She was setting her sights

On making it in movies

with her name in lights

The greatest social climber

since Cinderella.

OK, she couldn't act

But she had the right friends,

And we all know

a career depends

On knowing the right fella

To be stellar.

Just one shell,

And governments lose their nerve.

Ka-pow, die!

They stumble and fall.

Bye, bye!

Backs to the wall!

Aim high!

We're having a ball.

That's how we get

The government we deserve.

Now, the man behind the president

calling the shots

Involved so discreetly

in a lot of their plots

Was Colonel Juan Pern

Would-be dictator.

He began in the army out in Italy so

Saw Mussolini's rise

from the very front row

And reckoned he'd do likewise

Sooner or later.

Just one blast,

And the tear gas falls like rain.

Ka-pow, die!

They haven't a chance!

Bye, bye!

The terrorists advance,

But one guy doesn't dirty his hands.

Pern was biding time out

In the slow lane.

Suddenly an earthquake hit

The town of San Juan.

Ka-pow, die!

They stumble and fall.

Bye, bye!

Keep away from the wall!

But one guy

Was having a ball:

The tragedy a golden chance for Pern.

He organised a concert

With incredible flair

In aid of all the victims

Such a grand affair

Politicians, actors

Stars of every flavour

It was January 22, 1944

A night to remember, that's for sure

For that's the night

that Pern first met Eva.

For that's the night

that Pern first met Eva.

On this night...

On this night...

On this night of 1000 stars

Let me take you to heaven's door

Where the music of love's guitars

Plays for evermore.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Augustin Magaldi!

Magaldi?

Eva Duarte?

Your act hasn't changed much.

Neither has yours.

I stand here

as a servant of the people

As we come together

for a marvellous cause

You've shown by your presence

Your deeds and applause

What the people can do

True power is yours

Not the government's

Unless it represents

The people.

One always picks

The easy fight

One praises fools

One smothers light

One shifts

From left to right

Politics

The art of the possible.

Colonel Pern?

Eva Duarte?

I've heard so much about you

I'm amazed

- For I'm only an actress

- For I'm only a soldier

- Nothing to shout about
