Any Fool Could See

Lyrics

[HELEN, spoken] Paris, this has gone far enough [PARIS] So we meet again Aphrodite Sweet Aphrodite [HELEN, spoken] I'm not Aphrodite! [PARIS] I always knew I dedicate my life to - [HELEN, spoken] Ugh. Give me strength [PARIS] To you [HELEN] Why the hell don't you shut up and listen? [PARIS, spoken] What? [HELEN] You haven't got a clue You just don't what's going on It's not a palace It's a prison And they intend to keep you here I don't need lovesick strangers Who have no sense of danger I don't know why I bother Why should I give a damn? It's Agamemnon's plan Why can't you understand it When any fool could see [PARIS, spoken] But they seem quite friendly [HELEN] He will murder you when he has used you You honеstly don't know him I would trust him just about as far as you or I could throw him [PARIS, spoken] Are you sure? [HELEN] And Paris, would you pleasе For the gods' sake, just get off your knees [PARIS, spoken] What? [HELEN] Stuff your adoration! I don't need complications I'm not a goddess I am King Menelaus' wife And any fool could see what potential enemies we're Still much too close together I just don't know what I'm doing here [PARIS] Here we are Standing together [HELEN] Oh, Paris [PARIS] Face to face Heart to heart [HELEN, spoken] Aren't you listening? [PARIS] The way we were meant - [HELEN, spoken] I must be going mad [PARIS] To be [HELEN, spoken] Don't you understand? It's a trap You got to get away Andruste, go to the fisherman [ANDRUSTE, spoken] Yes, ma'am [HELEN] (spoken) We must find that Trojan galley And Paris, listen (sung) If we can time it right, we'll Get past the guards without a fight And if we're lucky you'll be sailing for Troy tonight Your life is in their hands Why can't you understand me when Any fool [PARIS] Well, any fool like me could see Yes I know what you're trying to say [HELEN, spoken] Oh Paris This shouldn't be happening [PARIS] So tell me why if you think so little of me Don't you just turn and walk away [HELEN] Any fool could see Any fool could see (spoken) By the gods, what's happening to me? We must leave Before it's too late [AGAMEMNON] (spoken) Guards Fetch my brother It seems we have a problem (sung) Now I'll show them a leader Now they'll know who's the leader They'll play follow the leader For me [ULYSSES] What's going on in here? [ACHILLES] Just what's the problem here? [MENELAUS] Ah, Agamemnon, I'm sorry to tell you That Ulysses and the others don't agree [AGAMEMNON] Gentlemen, I remember before How several of you seemed slightly unsure That the Trojan dogs wouldn't offer a threat Ah. You wanna bet? That smiling fool's had the time of his life He laughs at you as he's twisting the knife And the price, Menelaus, you've paid the price He's abducted your wife [MENELAUS] Find them Find them! Bring me back that Trojan knave I don't care if he's alive or dead And if I find some Greek traitor has helped him escape Just bring me back his head Move! [AGAMEMNON] So Ulysses, are you with us now? We'll be wealthy men when the battle's done [ULYSSES] Ah, but what of the gods, Agamemnon What of the gods Whose side are they on?
