Rise Against – Little Boxes [ Lyrics ] Weeds Intro


Susan Boyle & Elaine Paige: “I Know Him so Well”



FLORENCE]
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

[FLORENCE]
Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t he fine?
Isn’t it madness
He can’t be mine?

[SVETLANA]
Oh so good
Oh so fine

He can’t be mine?

[FLORENCE]
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me —
More security

[SVETLANA]
He needs his fantasy
And freedom

[FLORENCE]
I know him so well.

[SVETLANA]
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.

[FLORENCE]

Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way

[SVETLANA]

Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently

Learned about the man
Before I fell

[FLORENCE]
I was just a little
Careless maybe

[SVETLANA]
But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least

[FLORENCE]
Now at least
I know him well

[BOTH]
I know I know him well

[SVETLANA]

Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t he fine?
Isn’t it madness

[FLORENCE]

Oh so good
Oh so fine

[BOTH]
He won’t be mine?
Didn’t I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

[SVETLANA]

Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t he fine?

[FLORENCE]

Isn’t it madness
He won’t be mine?

[SVETLANA]
He won’t be mine?

[FLORENCE]
But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me —
More security

[SVETLANA]
He needs his
Fantasy and freedom

[FLORENCE]
I know him so well

[SVETLANA]
It took time to understand him

[BOTH]
I know him so well

Memory (Reprise) – Elaine Paige and Veerle Casteleyn. HD.


Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn’t give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You’ll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun
