The Deal [No Deal] (Album Version)歌词

[00:06.90]{THE ARBITER}
[00:07.12]Isn't it strange the complications
[00:09.25]people attach to situations
[00:11.50]Almost as if they want to
[00:13.01]miss the wood for the trees?
[00:15.91]Nothing will change my basic feeling
[00:18.26]When they have done all their wheeler-dealing--
[00:20.51]Those in the strongest situations do as they please
[00:24.56](spoken)
[00:25.17]You might see all kinds of human emotion here--
[00:28.06]passion and pain, love and hate
[00:30.41](sung)
[00:31.49]I see nothing other than a simple board game!
[00:35.74](spoken)
[00:36.54]At the Dusit Thani hotel, Bangkok, Alexander Molokov makes his move
[00:41.40]{MOLOKOV, spoken}
[00:41.87]We did not bring you to Bangkok for a holiday, my dear.
[00:44.54]You must tell your husband he has to lose the match and come home.
[00:47.18]Talk to Anatoly!
[00:48.46](sung)
[00:48.68]You can have the life you want
[00:53.02]And anywhere you want it
[00:56.80](spoken)
[00:57.02]But if Anatoly wins,
[00:59.24]life is going to be very tough for you and your children.
[01:01.70]Tell Anatoly that!
[01:03.60](sung)
[01:03.97]Make him think of you, not narcissistic dreams of glory
[01:11.08]How many times does he want to be champion, anyway?
[01:13.74]{THE ARBITER, spoken}
[01:13.96]Two days later, the wife,
[01:16.01]Svetlana Sergievsky, makes her move
[01:17.56]{SVETLANA, spoken}
[01:17.78]How many times do you want to be champion, anyway?
[01:21.94]Come home, Anatoly!
[01:23.44](sung)
[01:24.99]Who needs a dream? Who needs ambition?
[01:29.54]Who'd be the fool in my position?
[01:42.53]Once I had dreams...
[01:45.93]{ANATOLY}
[01:46.44]Now they’re obsessions
[01:51.31]Hopes became needs, lovers possessions
[01:59.01]{SVETLANA}
[01:59.75]Now you're where you want to be
[02:02.09]and who you want to be
[02:03.22]And doing what you always said you would
[02:04.84]And yet you know you haven't won at all
[02:09.87]Running for your life and never looking back
[02:11.90]In case there is someone right behind to shoot you down
[02:14.11]And say he always knew you'd fall
[02:18.18]When that crazy wheel slows down
[02:26.37]Where will you be? Back where you started!
[02:34.78]{THE ARBITER, spoken}
[02:36.06]And at the Oriental Hotel, Walter de Courcy
[02:40.22]from Global Television plays his opening gambit
[02:44.07]{WALTER, spoken}
[02:44.55]You father is alive
[02:45.73]{FLORENCE, spoken}
[02:46.39]My father? Alive?
[02:47.82]{WALTER, spoken}
[02:48.15]Alive in Russia--30 years in prison
[02:50.30]{FLORENCE, spoken}
[02:50.69]And you think I would believe you?
[02:52.23]{WALTER, spoken}
[02:52.74]Well, the evidence is conclusive,
[02:54.00]and if you don't believe me, Anatoly will.
[02:55.37]Now, you get him to lose against Viigand,
[02:57.88]and Molokov assures me he can get your father out.
[03:00.08]And not only him...
[03:01.86](sung)
[03:02.58]We have some people to recover
[03:06.81]I know that you would simply love a
[03:09.07]Chance to make sure your father's name was high on our list
[03:13.45]We want him back, which is to say a
[03:15.68]Gesture is needed from your player
[03:17.89]We wouldn't mind if he got beaten, in fact we insist
[03:21.86]{FLORENCE}
[03:22.17]There must be a lie you wouldn't tell me
[03:24.39]A limit to your devious ambition
[03:26.51]But what it could be, I can't imagine
[03:28.64]Is there no one here who's not a politician?
[03:33.91](spoken)
[03:34.43]There's no deal!
[03:38.36](sung)
[03:41.24]When I was young
[03:43.12]I learned that memories shouldn't be built to last
[03:47.74]Luxuries, such as father, mother,
[03:52.44]jettisoned in the past
[03:56.00]How can a half-remembered figure
[03:59.98]From a past so remote that it's hardly real
[04:05.62]Alter the way I feel?
[04:11.27]Pity the child, who 25 years on
[04:17.52]Finds her confidence gone!
[04:24.15]{THE ARBITER, spoken}
[04:24.51]While in subterranean marble surroundings,
[04:27.23]two of the world's most powerful players make a mid-game assessment
[04:31.83]{WALTER}
[04:32.58]You should have seen how she reacted
[04:34.32]I couldn't leave till she'd extracted
[04:36.53]Promises she would see her father, simple I said
[04:40.91]Told her the way she could achieve this
[04:43.06]Even though you might not believe this
[04:45.20]She said that I was not to worry, go right ahead!
[04:49.42]{MOLOKOV}
[04:49.62]You don't know her well
[04:50.62]She could have fooled you
[04:51.78]She could despite herself try to resist us
[04:53.80]{WALTER}
[04:53.98]Yes, I may be wrong, but to be certain
[04:55.98]There are others we can call in to assist us
[05:00.71]{THE ARBITER, spoken}
[05:01.38]And who better than a dethroned king?
[05:04.32]{WALTER, spoken}
[05:05.39]Now remember who's been paying for you to be here,
[05:07.94]Freddie, in Bangkok.
[05:09.51]We have a deal with the Soviets to get some people out,
[05:11.37]including Florence's father,
[05:13.10]provided Anatoly loses and gets on back to Moscow.
[05:15.93]You'd like that, wouldn't you, huh?
[05:17.78]{FREDDIE}
[05:18.14]Communist, democrat
[05:23.18]An intriguing collusion!
[05:27.62]Fair exchange, tit for tat
[05:32.33]Comradeship in profusion
[05:36.07]{with echos from MOLOKOV and WALTER}
[05:36.77]And the appeal, partner
[05:39.33]Of this deal, partner
[05:41.68]Is we both stand to win
[05:43.90]You and me, the lady also
[05:47.21]Don't break her heart, partner;
[05:49.74]Just be smart, partner
[05:52.04]Throw the match, show your love
[05:54.05]Is as pure as snow in Moscow
[05:57.80]Thank God we are so civilized
[06:01.08]And our word can be our bond
[06:05.57]We can turn this into friendship for life
[06:12.34]And beyond
[06:14.80]{ANATOLY}
[06:15.26]Refugee, total ****
[06:19.62]That's how I've always seen us
[06:24.14]Not a help, you'll admit
[06:28.62]To agreement between us!
[06:32.66]{with echos from MOLOKOV and WALTER}
[06:33.10]There's no deal, partner
[06:35.53]Who's your real partner?
[06:37.75]Could there be just a chance
[06:40.00]That you have got some heavy clients?
[06:43.32]{FREDDIE, with echos from MOLOKOV and WALTER}
[06:43.54]That's not true, partner
[06:45.56]How could you, partner
[06:47.80]Think I'd want to pursue any deal but our alliance?
[06:53.66]How can you only think of your selfish ambition
[07:00.76]And not of her position?
[07:03.44]Or you'd rather perhaps see her world collapse
[07:07.47](spoken)
[07:07.64]For a tinpot competition!
[07:14.84]{ANATOLY, spoken}
[07:15.05]Who put you up to this? There's no deal!
[07:18.58]{THE ARBITER, spoken}
[07:18.77]So Frederick makes a desperate final play
[07:21.39]for the woman he hasn't seen in a year
[07:24.41]{FREDDIE}
[07:24.62]Silly boy, woman who
[07:31.29]I should not have let walk out
[07:35.84]There's no hitch that we two
[07:40.15]Can't untangle or talk out
[07:44.21]{with echos from MOLOKOV and WALTER}
[07:44.50]And the appeal, partner
[07:46.87]Of this deal, partner
[07:49.04]Is we both stand to win
[07:51.71]We will bring back the golden era
[07:54.74]Stick with me, honey;
[07:56.89]Leave him be, honey
[07:59.11]You don't know what they have planned for you
[08:01.85]Long ago in Moscow
[08:04.63]{FLORENCE}
[08:04.85]Can't you see we've moved on?
[08:08.77](spoken)
[08:08.99]Chess has nothing to do with this. Chess isn't life!
[08:13.12]{FREDDIE, spoken}
[08:13.29]But I have changed. He won't help you with your father.
[08:16.99]Anatoly would never throw any match.
[08:18.57]I'm telling you the truth. Florence, come back to me!
[08:20.85]{ANATOLY & FLORENCE}
[08:21.20]Who'd ever think it? Such a squalid little ending
[08:25.79]Watching him descending just as low as he can go
[08:30.48]I'm learning things I didn't want to know
[08:39.08]{ANATOLY, FLORENCE & FREDDIE}
[08:39.30]Who'd ever guess it? This would be the situation
[08:43.46]One more complication should be neither here nor there!
[08:48.00]I wish I had it in me not to care!
[08:52.24]{ANATOLY}
[08:52.47]Let him spill out his hate till he knows he's deserted
[09:00.92]There's no point wasting time preaching to the perverted
[09:09.83]{ALL}
[09:10.12]Who'd ever think it?
[09:11.43]No one makes the moves intended
[09:14.22]Till the game has ended
[09:15.91]Then they say I told you so
[09:18.85]I'm learning things I didn't want to know
[09:26.16]{FREDDIE, spoken}
[09:26.38]It can all be different now, Florence.
[09:28.34]I love you. Come back to me!
[09:30.79]{THE ARBITER}
[09:31.76]Everybody's playing the game
[09:35.17]But nobody's rules are the same
[09:38.31]{ALL except FREDDIE}
[09:38.62]Nobody's on nobody's side...
[09:41.86]{FLORENCE}
[09:42.10]Never be the first!
[09:43.06]{ALL except FREDDIE}
[09:43.45]Everybody's playing the game
[09:46.20]But nobody's rules are the same
[09:49.84]{FLORENCE}
[09:50.03]Never be the last to deceive!
[09:50.48]{ALL except FREDDIE}
[09:50.99]Nobody's on nobody's side!
