I lent a deafened ear to
all the sounds of sadness
I watched with blinded
eyes the looks of loneliness
Broke and heartless
Won't give a damn if
you're down and dying
Oh I'm cold and heartless
Running wild and running free
This is me, yeah, this is me
Born against the wall I
had to learn the hard way
Armed with that in mind
I had to stalk my prey
Cold and heartless
Won't give a damn if
you're down and dying
Oh I'm broke and heartless
And as proud as I can be
This is me, world
Yes, this is me
People say that love
is stronger than hate
But with my luck
I bet that love
Will come too late
Born against the wall I
had to learn the hard way
Armed with that in mind
I had to stalk my prey
Broke and heartless
Won't give a damn if
you're down and dying
Oh I'm broke and heartless
Like a storm that rips the sea
This is me
You can't change the way I am
This is me
There's no one
else I want to be
This is me
Running wild, running free
This is me
This is me
This is me
Like a storm that rips the sea
This is me
You can't change the way I am
This is...
Hi there.
I'm Andrea Hilliard.
Mind if I sit down?
Go ahead, it's a public beach.
Mm, it's my beach.
You mean I'm trespassing?
That depends.
Well, you must
like your privacy.
I know I like mine.
Oh, please, don't go.
Hey, what's your name?
Tony Trelos.
How do you do, Tony Trelos?
Drums?
No, I'm a singer.
Oh, where?
Lobster House.
Oh, my old hangout.
I haven't been there in months.
You outta come down and
catch a show sometime.
I'll do that.
Yeah, two shows a night.
Yes, I know.
No cover.
And no minimum.
You're not leaving already.
Remember, I'm a working boy.
Say, we were just
getting started.
We?
When can I see you again?
Like I said, I'm
at the Lobster House.
Why don't you come
down and catch my show?
I'll do that.
Thanks for the use of
your, uh, private beach, huh?
Oh, anytime.
No cover, no minimum.
Yeah,
I'll remember that.
Hi, Sally.
Hi.
You do a good job, Charlie.
Do you do the dishes at home?
With TV trays?
How's my man?
Oh, better now.
Your lady friends are out
there in droves tonight.
Yeah, same old tired faces.
Well, give 'em a good show.
Easy with dance, huh?
Save those for me.
Hey, come here.
Mm, down boy.
You know I like to
warm up before a show.
Tony, you'll spoil your make-up.
Mm.
Tony, I have to get
back on the floor.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Tony-
Stop.
I'm stopping, I'm stopping-
- You're really quite efficient.
Oh, I'm very good with my hands.
So you tell me.
I'd be happy to show you.
You have a real hangup
about these things,
don't you, Charlie?
Mm, I got a hangup
about your hang ups.
It must be something
from your childhood.
I was deprived.
And now you're depraved.
Honest, baby, I
got a thing for you.
Put it in a box and
tie it with a ribbon.
Now who's depraved?
Alright, Romeo,
what about your wife?
All she
wants to do is eat.
Then you've got
something in common.
Hey, where's Tony?
Isn't it time for
the second show?
He's in the dressing
room getting ready.
Having trouble?
With these things, who wouldn't?
I wouldn't.
That is enough.
Ladies
and gentleman,
the Lobster House proudly
presents, Tony Trelos!
This is what I am
And what I'll always be
A drifter of the heart
Until love changes me
Take me for myself
Let your mind run free
And find what lies ahead
Across the open sea
I've been right
and I've been wrong
And I've been in-between
On the tips of my fingers
I balance all my dreams
'Cause it's
something I can't keep
I only seem to borrow
I play the game
Hard and fast
Like there's no tomorrow
This is what I am
And what I'll always be
A drifter of the heart
Until love changes me
Take me for myself
Let your mind run free
And find what lies ahead
Across the open sea
If things go
right and I'm on top
Love would be around
Like the wind
they'll all be gone
Whenever I am down
My constant lonely
searching life
ls the price I have to pay
To do the things I want to do
And live this life my way
This is what I am
And what I'll always be
A drifter of the heart
Until love changes me
Take me for myself
Let your mind run free
And find what lies ahead
Across the open sea
This is what I am
And what I'll always be
A drifter of the heart
Until love changes me
Oh take me for myself
Let your mind run free
And find what lies ahead
Across the open sea
Take me for myself
Let your mind run free
And find what lies ahead
Across the open sea
Baby this is what I am
Order me a drink.
I've gotta go change,
I'll be back in a minute.
Well, I see you made a big
hit with the upper register.
Yeah, who's that?
The one you were playing up to.
Who do you mean?
You didn't know she
was Madame National Records?
Well, well.
Don't get so excited, there's
a Mister National Records.
Yeah, well,
he's not sitting with
her, though, is he, baby?
No.
Well, then there's
nothing to worry about, huh?
I'll see you later.
How much later?
Much.
Sorry I took so long.
You're good.
It's quite a show you put on.
Thank you.
Tell me, do you ever put it out?
What?
Your back.
No.
Hey, so you like my act, huh?
Very much.
I'm surprised somebody hasn't
picked you up, out a record.
Well, the last one I
cut cost a small fortune.
Did it sell?
I heard it once on
a local radio station.
I'd like to hear it.
Anytime.
What's wrong with now?
okay-
I mean, I'm through
for the night.
Let's go.
Who's your
decorator, Bela Lugosi?
No, I did it myself.
With what, a shovel?
Well, what's a poor boy to do?
Anything to get out of this.
Well, I spend more
time on the beach
than I do in the dump anyway.
I'm glad.
What'll you have,
bourbon and water, bourbon and
soda or bourbon and bourbon?
Oh, surprise me.
This didn't turn out
exactly the way I wanted,
but you'll be able to get an
idea of my voice on records.
I watched with blinded
eyes the looks of loneliness
Broke and heartless
Won't give a damn if
you're down and dying
Oh I'm broke and heartless
Oh, you can do much
better than that.
Got any ideas?
Yeah, like taking
it to a different studio.
Oh, I can dig your
style, alright,
but not those arrangements.
Maybe added stings, or,
sure.
Background voices.
If you put in background noises,
you could fill in all those
empty spots, and then,
There I go, talking shop.
No, no, no, go ahead.
I mean, what you're
saying is right.
See that?
You do need help.
Who doesn't?
Did you ever hear
of National Records?
Sure, they're the biggest.
Well, that's me.
Or at least, it's my husband.
That is, it was
until his accident.
He's an invalid now, and I
more or less run the business.
How about that?
How about that?
You want help, don't you?
Sure, maybe
something in writing?
Oh, you don't trust me.
No.
Hello?
No, I don't need any
liquor deliveries tonight.
Don't you think
I'd have your number?
Sure.
I'll have my secretary draw
