michel legrand - the latest news lyrics

(the square, later that day.)

[newsvendor]
the latest news
is something n0body antic+p+ted
’cause passepartout’s
just been arrested and incarcerated
and here’s the thing
he sets the sirens off and lets them ring
so he is sitting twiddling his thumbs
sings a soliloquy til someone comes

i never knew
that he lives just across the way from me
he’s dusoleil!
the guy who lives at number 22
well, either 22 or 23
but now hе lives in jail
they’ve lockеd the guy away

[wh0re]
i never knew
’cause on the face of it, now, how could he be
this passepartout
i guess i should have offered him a freebie
if i had known
he was a guy who lived his life alone
i’d have been sensitive and understanding
i’d have offered him a helping hand
that’s it with guys
they’re always somehow constantly surprising
i’ve seen it all
at least, i like to think i’ve seen it all
but i have never, ever met a guy
who liked to get his kicks
by walking through a wall

[painter]
he’s one of us
we want him back with us because we need him
let’s make a fuss
let’s hold a demonstration til they’ve freed him
start our campaign
and stand outside the prison in the rain
and then start picketing

[painter and wh0re]
and singing songs

[all]
until the wallman’s back where he belongs

we must unite!
we must support him in his hour of need
and we must fight
yes, we must fight for him with all our might
[newsvendor]
i’ll go on strike for him!

[wh0re]
and i’ll withhold my labor
til my friend and neighbor

[wh0re and newsvendor]
and i’ll withhold my labor
til my friend and neighbor

[all]
and i’ll withhold my labor
til my friend and neighbor
has been freed!
