Evita Page #3

- One of the thousands

- Only a girl on the air

- Defending the country he loves

But when you act

The things you do affect us all

But when you act

You take us away

from the squalor of the real world

- Are you here on your own?

- Yes. Oh, yes.

So am I

What a fortunate coincidence

Maybe you're my reward

For my efforts here tonight

It seems crazy

But you must believe

There's nothing calculated

Nothing planned

Please forgive me

If I seem naive

I would never want to force your hand

But please understand I'd be good for you

I don't always rush in like this

Telling strangers I'm too good to miss

If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so

But you really should know

I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if I'm boring you

But do you understand my point of view

Do you like what you hear

What you see

And would you be

Good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night

A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye

Creeping home before it gets too light

That's not the reason

that I caught your eye

Which has to imply, I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you.

Please go on. You enthral me

I can understand you perfectly

And I like what I hear, what I see

And knowing me

I would be good for you too

I'm not talking

Of a hurried night

A frantic tumble

Then a shy goodbye

Creeping home before it gets too light

That's not the reason

That I caught your eye

Which has to imply I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you.

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

Hello and goodbye

I've just unemployed you

You can go back to school

You've had a good run

I'm sure he enjoyed you

Don't act sad or surprised

Let's be friends, civilised

Come on, little one.

Don't sit there like a dummy.

The day you knew would arrive is here.

You'll survive

So move, funny face.

I like your conversation

You've a catchy turn of phrase

You're obviously going through

Some adolescent phase.

So what happens now?

So what happens now?

- Where am I going to?

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

Where am I going to?

Don't ask any more.

At the watering-holes

Of the well-to-do

I detect a resistance to...

- Precisely!

...our heroine's style.

We're glad you noticed!

The shooting sticks

Of the upper class

Give her an inch...

Aren't supporting a single ass

That would rise for the girl

...she'll take a mile!

Such a shame she wandered

Into our enclosure

How unfortunate this person

Has forced us to be blunt

No, we wouldn't mind

Seeing her at Harrods

But behind the jewellery counter

Not in front!

Could there be

In our fighting corps

A lack of enthusiasm for...

- Exactly!

...Pern's latest flame?

You said it, brother!

Should you wish

To cause great distress

In the tidiest officer's mess

Just mention her name.

That isn't funny!

Pern is a fool, breaking every taboo

Installing the girl in the army H.Q.

And she's an actress, the last straw

Her only good parts

Are between her thighs

She should stare at the ceiling

Not reach for the skies

Or she could be his last whore.

The evidence suggests

She has other interests

If it's her that's using him

He's exceptionally dim.

B*tch!

Dangerous Jade!

We have allowed ourselves to slip

We have completely lost our grip

We have declined to an all-time low

Tarts have become the set to know.

I'm only a radio star

with just one weekly show

But speaking as one of the people

I want you to know

We are tired of

The decline of Argentina

With no sign of

A government

able to give us the things we deserve.

It's no crime for officers

to do as they please

As long as they're discreet

and keep clear of disease.

We ignore, we disregard

But once they allow a bit on the side

To move to the centre

where she's not qualified

We are forced to mark his card.

She should get into her head

She should not get out of bed

She should know that she's not paid

To be loud, but to be laid.

Slut!

Dangerous Jade!

This has really been your year,

Miss Duarte!

Tell us where you go from here,

Miss Duarte?

Which are the roles

that you yearn to play?

Whom did you sleep... dine with

yesterday?

Acting is limiting,

The lines not mine.

That's no help to the Argentine.

Can we assume then that you'll quit?

Is this because of your involvement...

...with Colonel...

...Pern?

- Good night, thank you!

She won't be kept happy

by her nights on the tiles

She says it's his body

But she's after his files

So get back onto the street

She should get into her head

She should not get out of bed

She should know that she's not paid

To be loud, but to be laid.

The evidence suggests

She has other interests

If it's her that's using him

He's exceptionally dim

Things have reached a pretty pass

When someone pretty lower class

Graceless and vulgar, uninspired

Can be accepted and admired.

Dice are rolling,

The knives are out,

Would-be presidents are all around.

I don't say they mean harm

But they'd each give an arm

To see us six feet underground.

It doesn't matter

What those morons say

Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew

There's only 20 of them anyway

What is 20 next to millions who

Are looking to you?

All you have to do is sit and wait

Keeping out of everybody's way

We'll... You'll be handed power

On a plate

When the ones who matter

Have their say

And with chaos installed

You can reluctantly agree

To be called.

There again we could be foolish

Not to quit while we're ahead

For distance lends enchantment

And that is why

All exiles

Are distinguished

More important, they're not dead

I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay

This is crazy defeatist talk

Why commit political suicide

There's no risk

There's no call for any action at all

When you have unions on your side.

- I'll not let them take you.

- Eva! I have to go.

A new Argentina

The chains of the masses untied

A new Argentina

The voice of the people

Cannot be denied

There is only one man

who can lead any workers' regime

He lives for your problems

He shares your ideals and your dream

He supports you, for he loves you

Understands you, is one of you

If not

How could he love me?

A new Argentina

The workers' battle song

A new Argentina

The voice of the people

Rings out loud and long

Now, I am a worker

I've suffered the way that you do

I've been unemployed

And I've starved, and I've hated it too

But I found my salvation in Pern

May the nation let him save them

As he saved me

A new Argentina

A new age about to begin

A new Argentina

We face the world together

And no dissent within!

There again we could be foolish

Not to quit while we're ahead

I can see us many miles away, inactive

Sipping cocktails on a terrace
