Talk of the Town

[The storyteller: Tom Baker]
"A few weeks have passed, and Abby and Daniel are still madly hopelessly in love. Try as they might, it's impossible for them to hide it, and why should they? And it is equally obvious that Daniel's brother Henry does not approve. No – not one little bit. And Henry plans to do something about it."

[Henry: Paul Manzi]
Do you see them?
Do you hear them?
They're talking about you

I believe them
I agree with them
You will bring our
Great house down
You will bring our great house down
You're the talk of the town

I know you want her
But don't you trust her
Our wealth is all she craves

Can you see it now?
Can you feel it how
She'll drag our good name down
She will drag our good name down
She's the talk of the town

[Daniel: Tommy Karevik]
You couldn't be more wrong
I won't hear your lies
‘Never felt so strong
‘Never felt so right
No matter what they say
No matter what they do
I will find a way
The life I choose
[Henry: Paul Manzi]
This will break you down
Turn your world around
This will seal your fate
Nothing good awaits

This will spell your doom
On the road to ruin
When she's got your gold
She'll swallow your soul

[Abby: Cammie Gilbert]
Don't you judge us
Why begrudge us
The love that we have found?

Are you jealous
Can you tell us why
You want to bring us down

You don't know me
‘You could only
See with honest eyes

It is obvious
You are envious
So you're trying to
Drag us down
This is why you drag us down
You're the talk of the town
[Henry: Paul Manzi]
I will break you down
Turn your world around
I will seal your fate
Nothing good awaits

I will spell you doom
On the road to ruin
I can't wait to tell dad
It will drive him mad

[Abby and Henry: Cammie Gilbert and Paul Manzi]
You couldn't be more wrong
I will break you down
We won't hear your lies
Turn your world around
We never felt so strong
I will seal your fate
We never felt so right
Nothing good awaits
No matter what you say
I will spell your doom
No matter what you do
On the road to ruin
We will find our way
I can't wait to tell dad
The life we choose
It will drive him mad
