rod gilfry - i had just been pardoned lyrics

[cellini]
i had just been pardoned and peacefully
was pushing my way through the crowd
when i saw three villainous fellows glaring
dark and beetle+browed
there was maffio on one side
his henchmen on the other
but being of those
who love repose
my rage i had to smother

well, sure enough
the boys got tough
at me the three of ’em sprang
but cellini’s sword is a noted one
and when it started to clang
i quickly got rid of the henchmen
and the murder they tried to promote
and as for mister maffio
i drove my sword through his throat

[emilia squeals.]

what else could i do?
three of them attacked me
and three of them are gory
and there they lie
and here am i—
and that’s my story
[narrator, spoken]
just then, a rap upon the door
it’s angela, cellini’s… girl
cellini was a sculptor who’d insist his models modeled nude
so there they’d sit without a slip
while he carved them chip by chip
angela, his current flame
asks about his latest shame

[angela, spoken]
you’re in trouble again?

[cellini, spoken]
let me tell you all about it.

(sung)
i had just been pardoned and peacefully
was pushing my way through the crowd
when i saw five villainous fellows glaring
dark and beetle+browed
there was maffio on one side
his henchmen on the other
but being of those
who love repose
my rage i had to smother
well, sure enough
the boys got tough
at me the six of ’em sprang
but cellini’s sword is a noted one
and when it started to clang
i quickly got rid of the henchmen
and the murder they tried to promote
and as for mister maffio
i drove my sword through his throat
it’s still there, i’ve no doubt
i strove in time with all my strength
but i couldn’t pull it out

[angela squeals.]

eight of them attacked me
and eight of them are gory
and there they lie
and here am i—
and that’s my story

[angela, spoken]
the duke will never forgive you!

[cellini, spoken]
then posterity will never forgive the duke. men like myself don’t happen twice.
[angela, spoken]
but he’ll k!ll you! aren’t you afraid?

[cellini, spoken]
i don’t have to be, angela, believe me. that statue is a better armor to me than any duke’s pardon. my nymph—our nymph, angela.

[angela, spoken]
i suppose you want to work. shall i disrobe?

[cellini, spoken]
disrobe! must i only see you when i have a chisel in my hand? can you not think of me as a man as well as an artist?

[angela, spoken]
i, i don’t know, master.

[cellini, spoken]
and don’t call me master. call me benvenuto.

[angela, spoken]
benvenuto.

[cellini, spoken]
again.

[angela, spoken]
benvenuto.

[cellini, spoken]
oh, angela, angela! that one word from your lips makes me forget that i am a violent and dreadful man, bathed in the blood of mine enemies—

[angela, spoken]
i had almost forgotten your danger!

[cellini, spoken]
do not interrupt me when i’m speaking well.

[angela, spoken]
i’m sorry.

[cellini, spoken]
no, it’s me who’s sorry. believe me, i never make a beautiful thing without thinking of you.

[angela, spoken]
you’re very complimentary today.

[cellini, spoken]
you like it?

[angela, spoken]
almost as much as she did.

[cellini, spoken]
who?

[angela, spoken]
the lady you said the same thing to last thursday. the one with the great legs.

[cellini, spoken]
oh, d+mn it! simply and truly: i love you. i think you very beautiful.
