Lyrics

[spoken] [NARRATOR] There's a girl inside the woman Who's waiting to get free She's washed a million dishes She's always making tea They think she's just a mother With nothing left inside Who swapped her dreams for drudgery The day she was a bride But the dreams were not forgotten Just wrapped and packed away In the hope that she could take them out And dust them off one day [LINDA, spoken] Hello. Could I talk to councillor Lyons, please? [NARRATOR] There's a girl inside the woman And the mother she became And a half-remembered song comes to her lips again [LINDA, spoken] Eddie, can I talk to y'? Yeah, I remember. [NARRATOR] The girl would sing the melody But the woman stands in doubt and wonders What the price would be For letting the young girl out [sung] [MRS JOHNSTONE] It's just a light romance Nothing cruel They laid no plans How it came? Who can explain They just said "Hello" And foolishly they gazed They should've gone Their separate ways It's just the same old song Nothing cruel Nothing wrong It's just two fools Who know the rules But break them all And grasp at half a chance To play their part In a light romance [MRS JOHNSTONE and NARRATOR] Loving on the never-never Constant as the changing weather Never sure Who's at the door [MRS JOHNSTONE] Or the price they're gonna have to pay It's just a secret glance Across a room A touch of hands That part too soon That same old tune That always plays And let's them dance as friends Then stand apart As the music ends [MRS JOHNSTONE and COMPANY] Loving on the never-never Constant as the changing weather Never sure Who's at the door [MRS JOHNSTONE] Or the price they'll have to pay! [NARRATOR] There's a man gone mad in the town tonight He's gonna shoot somebody down There's a man gone mad Lost his mind tonight There's a mad man, there's a mad man There's a mad man runnin' 'round and 'round Now you know the devil's got your number He's runnin' right beside ya He's screamin' deep inside ya And someone said he's calling your number up today [spoken] [NARRATOR] There's a mad man There's a mad man [MRS JOHNSTONE] Linda! [LINDA] Mam, wha'? [MRS JOHNSTONE] It's Mickey. Mickey's got a gun! [NARRATOR] There's a mad man There's a mad man There's a mad man [LINDA] The town hall! [NARRATOR] There's a mad man runnin 'round and 'round [MRS JOHNSTONE] What? [LINDA] Eddie Lyons! [sung] [NARRATOR] Now you know the devil's got your number You know he's right beside you He's screamin' deep inside you And someone said he's calling your number up today Today, today, today, today, today, today...
