《Salome (In the Style of Sunset Boulevard) (Demo Vocal Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Now go

[00:00:03] Next time I'll bring my autograph

[00:00:05] Just a minute you Did you say you were a writer

[00:00:08] That's what it says on my guild card

[00:00:11] And you've written pictures

[00:00:13] Sure have Would you like to see my credits

[00:00:16] Come over here I want to ask you something

[00:00:20] Just what sort of length is a movie script these days

[00:00:23] Depends

[00:00:24] I wrote this it's a very important picture

[00:00:27] Looks like six very important pictures

[00:00:29] It's for De Mille to direct

[00:00:31] Oh yeah And will you be in it

[00:00:32] Of course What do you think

[00:00:34] Just asking I didn't know you were planning a come back

[00:00:37] I hate the word It's a return

[00:00:40] Well fair enough

[00:00:42] I want you to read it

[00:00:44] You shouldn't let another writer read your stuff

[00:00:46] He may steal it

[00:00:47] I am not afraid Sit down Max

[00:00:51] Bring something to drink

[00:00:53] Yes Madame

[00:00:55] I said sit down It's about Salome

[00:01:07] Salome: the story of a woman

[00:01:15] The woman who was all women

[00:01:26] Salome what a woman what a part

[00:01:29] Innocent body and a sinful heart

[00:01:31] Inflaming Herods' lust

[00:01:34] But secretly loving a holy man

[00:01:37] No one could play her like I can

[00:01:43] Well I have nothing urgent coming up

[00:01:46] I thought I might as well skim it

[00:01:49] It's fun to see how bad bad writing can be

[00:01:53] This promised to go to the limit

[00:01:56] There's so many great scenes I can't wait

[00:01:59] A boiling cauldron of love and hate

[00:02:01] She toys with Herod

[00:02:05] 'Till he putty in her hands

[00:02:07] He reels tormented through the desert sand

[00:02:15] It sure was a real cheery set-up

[00:02:17] The wind wheezing through that organ

[00:02:20] Max shuffling around and a dead ape dumped on a shelf

[00:02:24] And her staring like a gorgon

[00:02:28] They drag the Baptist up from the jails

[00:02:31] She dances the dance of the seven veils

[00:02:46] Herod says: I'll give you anything

[00:02:55] Now it was time for some comedy relief

[00:02:58] The guy with the baby casket

[00:03:01] Must have seen a thing or two that chimp

[00:03:04] Shame it was too late to ask it

[00:03:10] Have you got to the scene where she asks for his head

[00:03:14] If she can't have him living she'll take him dead

[00:03:18] They bring in his head on a silver tray

[00:03:22] She kisses his mouth it's a great screenplay

[00:03:31] It got to be eleven I was feeling ill

[00:03:37] What the hell was I doing

[00:03:41] Melodrama and sweet champagne

[00:03:44] And a garbled plot from a scrambled brain;

[00:03:48] But I had my own plot brewing

[00:03:52] Just how old is Salome

[00:03:54] Sixteen

[00:03:55] I see

[00:03:56] Well

[00:03:57] It's fascinating

[00:03:58] Of course it is

[00:04:00] Could be it's a little long

[00:04:02] Maybe the opening's wrong

[00:04:04] But it's extremely good for the beginner

[00:04:06] No it's a perfect start

[00:04:08] I wrote that with my heart

[00:04:10] The river-bank the Baptist and the sinner

[00:04:16] Shouldn't there be some dialogues

[00:04:20] I can say anything I want with my eyes

[00:04:23] It could use a few cuts

[00:04:25] I will not have it butchered

[00:04:28] I'm not talking limb from limb

[00:04:30] I just mean a little trim

[00:04:32] All you need is someone who can edit

[00:04:35] I want someone with a knack

[00:04:37] Not just any studio hack

[00:04:39] And don't think for a moment I'd share credit

[00:04:46] When were you born
