nicole scherzinger, tom francis & andrew lloyd webber - salome lyrics

Loading...

[norma, spoken]
salome. salome — the story of a woman. the woman who was all women

(sung)
salome, what a woman, what a part
innocent body and a sinful heart
inflaming herod’s l+st
but secretly loving a holy man
no one could play her like i can

[joe]
well, i had nothing urgent coming up
i thought i might as well skim it
it’s fun to see how bad, bad writing can be
this promised to go to the limit

[norma]
there’s so many great scenes, i can’t wait
a boiling cauldron of love and hate
she toys with herod
’til he’s putty in her hands
he reels tormented through the desert sands

[joe]
it sure was a real cheery set up
the wind wheezing through that organ
max shuffling around and a dead apе dumped on a shelf
and her staring likе a gorgon
[norma]
they drag the baptist up from the jails
she dances the dance of the seven veils

herod says, “i’ll give you anything”
have you got to the scene where she asks for his head?
if she can’t have him living
she’ll take him dead
they bring in his head on a silver tray
she kisses his mouth, it’s a great screenplay! [laugh]

[joe]
it got to be eleven, i was feeling ill
what the h+ll was i doing?
melodrama and sweet champagne
and a garbled plot from a scrambled brain
but i had my own plot brewing

[joe, spoken]
just how old is salome?

[norma, spoken]
sixteen

[joe, spoken]
i see
[norma, spoken]
well?

[joe]
could be it’s a little long
maybe the opening’s wrong
but it’s extremely good for a beginner

[norma]
no, it’s a perfect start
i wrote that with my heart
the river+bank, the baptist and the sinner

[joe]
shouldn’t there be some dialogue?

[norma]
i can say anything i want with my eyes

[joe]
it could use a few cuts

[norma]
i will not have it butchered

[joe]
i’m not talking limb from limb
i just mean a little trim
all you need is someone who can edit
[norma]
i want someone with a knack
not just any studio hack
and don’t think for a moment i’d share credit

(spoken)
when were you born?

[joe, spoken]
december 21st, why?

[norma, spoken]
i like sagittarians. you can trust them

[joe, spoken]
thanks

[norma, spoken]
i want you to do this work

[joe, spoken]
me? oh gee, i don’t know, i’m busy. i just finished one script and i’m about to start a new assignment—

[norma, spoken]
i don’t care

[joe, spoken]
well, i’m pretty expensive. i get… five hundred a week

[norma, spoken]
don’t you worry about money. i’ll make it worth your while, honey

[joe, spoken]
well, it’s getting kind of late

[norma, spoken]
are you… married, mister?

[joe, spoken]
the name is gillis. single

[norma, spoken]
where do you live?

[joe, spoken]
hollywood. alto nido apartments

[norma, spoken]
oh, you’ll stay here

[joe, spoken]
i’ll come back early tomorrow

[norma, spoken]
nonsense! there’s a room over the garage, max will take you there. max!

[max, spoken]
yes, madame?

[norma, spoken]
take mr. gillis to the guest room. we’ll begin at nine sharp

[joe, spoken]
now this is more like it

[max, spoken]
i made up the bed this afternoon

[joe, spoken]
thanks. how did you know i was going to stay?

[max, spoken]
there’s soap and a toothbrush in the bathroom

[joe, spoken]
she’s quite a character, isn’t she, that norma desmond?
