Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun |
| [00:02.73] |
LORD ADALBERT: |
| [00:04.83] |
When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun |
| [00:10.04] |
It concentrates the mind completely |
| [00:14.92] |
And suddenly you'll find |
| [00:17.39] |
A love for human kind |
| [00:19.67] |
That makes you look upon the world more sweetly |
| [00:23.82] |
|
| [00:24.51] |
When all at once it seems your life is done |
| [00:29.39] |
You recognize it all goes by so fleetly |
| [00:34.28] |
There's so much left to do |
| [00:36.80] |
Except, of course, for you |
| [00:39.16] |
When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun |
| [00:46.22] |
|
| [00:46.47] |
When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun |
| [00:49.77] |
(CHORUS: Down the gun) |
| [00:51.22] |
And the barrel looks right back at you demurely (Demurely) |
| [00:56.18] |
With an eye that seems to say |
| [00:58.34] |
Perhaps you ought to pray |
| [01:00.58] |
So sorry that you're dyin' prematurely |
| [01:05.25] |
|
| [01:05.52] |
You're grateful that you've had your share of fun |
| [01:08.56] |
(He's had his fun) |
| [01:09.73] |
Though you suppose you might have lived your life more purely |
| [01:14.84] |
It's ludicrous to care |
| [01:17.12] |
It's neither here nor there |
| [01:19.44] |
When you're starin' down the barrel of a gun |
| [01:23.39] |
|
| [01:23.59] |
Oh, Lord, is this really your intention? |
| [01:27.26] |
Aren't men like me in short supply? |
| [01:30.42] |
Oh, Lord, I could use your intervention |
| [01:34.10] |
This cannot be the way I'm meant to die |
| [01:37.66] |
|
| [01:38.63] |
Do you really want to see me cryin'? |
| [01:41.43] |
|
| [01:41.93] |
LADY EUGENIA: |
| [01:42.16] |
Get up at once, you're making a spectacle of yourself! |
| [01:46.06] |
|
| [01:46.65] |
LORD ADALBERT: |
| [01:46.88] |
Eugenia. Put down the gun. Please. |
| [01:49.67] |
I know, I talk about game, bravery and courage, |
| [01:52.37] |
God save the queen and all that. |
| [01:53.99] |
But, I-I really don't want to die. I really, really don't! |
| [01:58.97] |
|
| [02:00.20] |
Don't you know I've loved you like a son? (Like a son) |
| [02:04.83] |
And I do not mean to say this impolitely (Do... say... politely) |
| [02:11.05] |
Consider then, the view |
| [02:13.58] |
I'd rather he'd presume |
| [02:16.38] |
Looking down the barrel of a gun |
| [02:20.16] |
|
| [02:21.58] |
Looking down the barrel of a |
| [02:28.61] |
(Barrel of a) |
| [02:30.16] |
|
| [02:31.13] |
Uhhhh! (Dies.) |
| [02:31.93] |
|
| [02:32.61] |
LADY EUGENIA: |
| [02:32.97] |
Oh, for heaven's sake. |
| [02:34.64] |
Get up you old goat! Adalbert! Adalbert? |
| [02:39.35] |
(Gasps.) Adalbert! |
| [02:43.06] |
|
| [02:43.26] |
MONTY: |
| [02:43.43] |
What? |
| [02:44.23] |
|
| [02:44.43] |
CHORUS: |
| [02:44.61] |
Gun! |
| [02:49.42] |
