olga neuwirth - and there could be no doubt about his upbringing lyrics
[narrator]
and there can be no doubt about his upbringing
good food, education, a nanny, loneliness and isolation
and because this is england
orlando seem destined to have his portrait on the wall
and his name in the history books
certain is that he had always a liking for low company
[orlando]
i am alone
for looks and sighs true love can best express
[narrator & orlando]
but when he came into the world
he was looking for something else he could attach his heart to
though heir to a name which meant power, land and property…
(and his world, his passions not and [?])
surely when orlando was born
it wasn’t privilege he sought, but company
and it was cеrtain, that many ladies
would be ready to show him thеir favor
(but to be one who flew [?] than in true love excel)
[orlando}
oh, why is reality so multiple and complex?
[narrator]
at this season of his life
when his head brimmed with rhymes
he would easily cover ten pages and more with poetry…
[gradian angel]
about the greeny, greeny, greeny
gree+, gree+, gree+, gree+, gree+, greeny
gree+, greeny, greeny, greeny, grass
[narrator]
but: green in nature is one thing, green in literature another
[gardian angel]
rush, don’t you hear the trumpet?
[“choir”]
coaches turn and wheel, horses toss their plumes
the queen has come
