Claude-Michel Schönberg
The Movie in My Mind (Live West End Revival)
[Gigi]
They are not nice they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts:
The movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
[Gigi]
The movie plays and plays
I'll find my true romance
He takes me to a place
Where I don't have to dance
Our children laugh all day
But all that I've been through
Can't make my dream come true
Dream
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind
[Kim]
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
When I make love, it won't be me
And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes[Kim]
And see
[Girls]
They are not nice, they're mostly noiseThe movie in my mind
They kill like men, they die like boysThe dream that fills my head
They give their cash, they keep their heartsA man who will not kill
But every night again it starts[Kim]
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep the fear at bay
So no one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream
The dream I have to find
The movie in my mind
[All Girls]
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
[Kim]
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind
[Engineer, spoken]
Allez! Allez!
Get back to work, now!
