Music And Lyrics Page #9

l will have lost the job.

l'm sorry.

-Okay, look.

-No, l want to help. l do.

l wanna help you finish, but l can't.

l can't write when l feel like this.

l'm not inspired.

l don't care. l don't care if you're inspired.

lnspiration's for amateurs.

l just want four lines. Please.

l just want four lines.

-l can't.

-Oh, but you can and you won't.

-Are you saying l wanted this to happen?

-l'm saying that's what you do.

You push and push

and move the furniture around...

...and talk all the time...

...and screw everything up

just like he said.

Who's he? What are you talking about?

What are you saying?

l read the book because l wanted

to come to you and say:

''You're not at all like Sally Michaels.''

But actually, he's got you spot on.

-What are you saying?

-l'm saying Sloan Cates was right.

Oh, my God. Please take that back.

The poor, innocent, helpless

'''l can't write,' she says to herself'' girl...

...has co-authored

three-quarters of a hit...

...and is holding it ransom

because she can't get what she wants.

You think life is this fairy tale.

When it turns out that everything

doesn't end happily, you can't deal with it.

Mama says I can't, Daddy says I can

Nut now my body just wants to slam

Slam

-C, Alex Fletcher is here.

-Hey, Alex.

C, could l--? Could l have a quick word?

Thanks a lot.

-Derek, how are you? Good to see you.

-Alex Fletcher.

Yo, so how's my girl Sophie, man?

Yeah, no, she's keeping it pretty real.

Yeah, what a girl.

C, hi. Listen, it's about

the new last verse.

lt's not completely formed

in the classical sense yet.

lt's more a kind of string of words

that you can connect in almost any way.

-l think it's quite innovative.

-l got the lyrics.

Sophie faxed them over this morning.

They are so beautiful.

lt's what l always wanted to say

to my boyfriend.

lt's the perfect end to the song.

There are moments

When I don't know if it's real

Or if anybody feels the way I feel

I need inspiration

Not just another negotiation

All I wanna do

Is find a way back into....

-ls everything okay?

-Yeah, yeah. Sorry, sorry.

l just-- l just completely,

l don't know, spaced out.

That's okay. Let's take it from the top

with the new intro.

Yep. Great.

Yeah, Cora Corman and Alex Fletcher

Way back into love

Hi.

Hello.

l bought these for your children because

one should never show up empty-handed.

They're aliens.

Clearly, l have no children. Here.

-Here, let me get that for you.

-Thank you.

l am gonna go to the office.

-l am too. Have fun with those.

-Bye.

Put them there, thanks.

You coming to the concert tomorrow?

Can't disappoint Lucy.

Yes, yes, very important.

Chris is bringing his daughter as well,

so should be fun.

l just wanted to say

l thought your last verse was fantastic.

Thank you, Alex.

And l'm very sorry about what l said.

Well, you know, life isn't a fairy tale

and l have to grow up...

...and l'm gonna do that in Florida.

Well, that's just ridiculous.

No one grows up in Florida.

Unless they're an orange.

Well, l'm managing

the new Weight-Not branch in Boca Raton.

You should be writing,

not fighting cellulite.

Well, l can do both.

We need a new marketing campaign.

Swimsuit season is coming up.

Thing is...

...l can't...

...compose without you.

Thanks, but l don't think

it's a good idea.

All right. You're obviously very busy.

Good luck.

You too.

Cora!

-Gracie, aren't you excited?

-Let's go.

You know what? You guys, just go.

l think l'm gonna skip it.

-No, come on. You can't skip it.

-You know what, kids?

l'm gonna talk to your aunt, okay?

Gary, take them in.

-Should l meet you--?

-Do it. How hard is it?

-Go, walk, sit.

-Find your seats.

Honey, l need a second. Thank you.

Love you. You're a good man.

Now, listen to me.

Those kids have told all of their friends

that their aunt wrote Cora's new hit song.

And they wanna share this with you.

You gotta go in.

Yeah. No, l know. l know. l just....

l don't know how l'm gonna go in there

and look at him.

l know. lt's just one night, though,

and l really think you need this.

And then he'll go his way

and you'll go yours. Okay?

Do you have her autograph?

-lsn't this exciting?

-Yeah.

This is so cool.

-Yeah, weirdo. This is so cool.

-lt's great.

We're in the Cora fan club.

Can we? Please, Mom?

-Okay.

-Cora!

Cora!

Cora!

Cora!

-Look, there she is!

-ls that Cora?

I'm starting to believe, boy

That this was meant to be, boy

'Cause I believe in karma

Noy, do you believe in karma?

Each time you put your lips to mine

It's like a taste of Nuddha's delight

-Hey, Gary.

-Come on. l'm just watching.

Tell me all your fantasies tonight

And I will make them happen 'cause

I'm not satisfied if I don't get

My Nuddha's delight

Om shanti, shanti

This Tuesday on The CW,

it's Battle of the '80s Has-Beens...

...featuring Tiffany battling

reigning champion Debbie Gibson...

...followed by a bout

between Adam Ant and Nilly Idol.

Tuesday night on The CW.

Five minutes, Mr. Fletcher.

Entering Nootytown

So shake my booty now

'Cause your booty

Is the way into his heart

New York, l love you!

Shanti, shanti.

What's that mean?

And now l'd like you to hear

something very special.

-Oh, Soph.

-Something very different.

lt's a new song.

This is it, weirdo, your song.

-l don't think l can listen to this.

-A song no one has heard before...

...written by Mr. Alex Fletcher.

Wait.

What? Alex Fletcher and my sister.

How quickly they forget.

Let's just go and come back

when the song's over. You and me.

-Actually, l'm gonna go.

-No. What?

-Yeah, no. l'm fine. Just....

-Are you sure?

Yeah, l'm fine. l just wanna be alone.

Just take care of the kids.

It's never been easy for me

To find words to go along with a melody

Nut this time there's actually

Something on my mind

So please forgive

These few brief awkward lines

Since I met you

My whole life has changed

It's not just my furniture

You've rearranged

I was living in the past

Nut somehow you've brought me back

And I haven't felt like this

Since before Frankie said, ''Relax''

And though I know

Nased on my track record

I might not seem like the safest bet

All I'm asking you

Is don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself

The same old story

That I'm happy to live off

My so-called former glories

Nut you've given me a reason

To take another chance

Now I need you despite the fact

That you've killed all my plants

And though I know

I've already blown more chances

Than anyone should ever get

All I'm asking you

Is don't write me off just yet

Don't write me off just yet

Alex!

-Nobody backstage.

-l have to get up there. l know Cora.

-l don't care what you want.

-l know Cora. l wrote this song.

She's okay.

-There's nobody backstage.

-l said she's okay, right?

-Well, you vouch for her, then.

-Thank you.

What's wrong with you?

As soon as Cora's done ''Slam,''
