The Loveable Characters
I long for the streets but the Lord knoweth best,
For there I am never a saint;
There are lovable characters out in the West,
With humour heroic and quaint;
And, be it Up Country, or be it Out Back,
When I shall have gone to my Home,
I trust to be buried 'twixt River and Track
Where my lovable characters roam.
There are lovable characters drag through the scrub,
Where the Optimist ever prevails;
There are lovable characters hang round the pub,
There are lovable jokers at sales
Where the auctioneer's one of the lovable wags
(Maybe from his "order" estranged),
And the beer is on tap, and the pigs in the bags
Of the purchasing cockies are changed.
There were lovable characters out in the West,
Of fifty hot summers, or more,
Who could not be proved, when it came to the test,
Too old to be sent to the war;
They were all forty-five and were orphans, they said,
With no one to keep them, or keep;
And mostly in France, with the world's bravest dead,
Those lovable characters sleep.
I long for the streets, but the Lord knoweth best,
For there I am never a saint;
There are lovable characters out in the West,
With humour heroic and quaint;
And, be it Up Country, or be it Out Back,
When I shall have gone to my Home,
I trust to be buried 'twixt River and Track
Where my lovable characters roam.

When is a woman lovable?
When on back in bed,
A woman is lovable.
When driven to be a meek spectator,
She is still more lovable.
When her word turn to murmur,
Her eyes are sealed with lashes,
Red doll limbs adjust voluntarily,
And sleep penetrates to inner nerves,
Thus driven to swoon,
A woman is the most lovable.

Lovable
(chorus)
Its going round the town
Its going round the town
Its going round the town
Youre so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just cant get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
(chorus)
My baby has egyptian eyes
And a wicked look beyond compare
If you thought I was a fool for you
Then I must be a bigger fool for her
(chorus)
Hed turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath
He says hed love you eternally
I say please please cant you keep it brief
They say theyre going to bury you
Because youre so lovable
Put your money where your mouth was
Youre so lovable
Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
Youre so lovable
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
Youre so lovable
Youre so sweet
Youre so honest
You say 'Ill be true to you boy
But I wont promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me
(chorus)

Beautiful Soul
I wonder where you are, lovable lady
I wonder what you're thinking, beautiful woman
It seems like fog is settling in within your eyes
And the weight of something is pulling your shoulders down
Could it be you ask too much, lovable lady?
From a world that's out of touch, beautiful woman
So you're hammering at a door that will not open
And your beautiful soul is weeping
Better learn the way it goes
Oh, better share the pain that shows
You wanna transcend it in order to end it
But your loneliness grows
Ah, ha, do you hate yourself, lovable lady?
Can I be of help, beautiful woman?
Your silence is a wall between the two of us
And my beautiful soul is weeping
Oooooooooooh

Extra Lovable
I wanna rap a little bit, oh!
Yeah!
Baby, U got somethin' that would make
A many hippie mighty proud
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S. would even allow
Never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it (I never hear U brag)
And what I dig the most is that U keep it in your hand
Until I, until I, until I want it
CHORUS:
If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with girl
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?
Listen..
Baby, U could turn my mama on
She's just as straight, just as straight as straight can be
Even though my daddy's gone
Come back just 2 haunt U, come back just 2 haunt U mystically
(Yes he will)
Baby, I know my rap is hard
Not as hard as what's behind door (dig it), door number pants
Baby, U're so sure, I'd love 2 see U dancin' naked
Ooh sugar, I wanna see U dance
CHORUS
Don't U wanna get, don't U wanna get off?
Baby, U got something that would make
A many hippie mighty proud (Then play it loud!)
U got a dozen little sexy tricks
That doesn't seem that Miss U.S., ooh, would even allow
Yeah, never do U boast like the other girls
Who think they found a love 2 flaunt it
(Oh, play with this love, yeah, let me tell ya)
What I dig the most is the way that U keep your sugar in your hand
Till I want it
If ever honey U need someone 2 take a shower with mama (There it is)
Call me up and scream
Extra lovable, honey don't U wanna, don't U wanna
Take a bath with me?
Ooh, sugar baby, U're so fine
What say U and me go 2 my place and make some time?
I'm not that popular yet, so if U want, I'm yours
"I don't want anyone 2 see what we're gonna do"
Think U better shut the door

Unbelievable
(al anderson/jeffrey steele)
(track 5 - time 2:21)
Shes so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Shes a mouthful of anything and everything a man could want
She aint typical, shes unpredictable, shes available, its a miracle
How my heart stumbled into someone so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Up til now my life has been so lonely and boring
I never thought I would find someone so
Elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
Shes so beautiful, its indisputable, its undeniable, shes got-to-havable
Shes music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Theres so many things
I want to tell her
Like I love her
But every time I talk
I start to stutter
Shes so elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
Shes so beautiful, its indisputable, its undeniable, shes got-to-havable
Shes music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable

I'm Your Brother
I’m your brother,
I’m your brother,
I believe in the heavenly creations,
I believe in the Teacher,
The Conversation that He is the revelation,
I’m all coming up,
I’m never sleeping down,
I’m your brother,
I love all that we are,
We got to win the devil,
When I’m your brother,
And you are my sister,
Yes you are all lovable,
I love all that help me win this battle,
It’s all obvious that we are on a battle,
This is all that I perceive,
That my brothers and sisters are all lovable creatures.

Who do you think is comin to town
Youll never guess who
Lovable, hugable emily brown
Miss brown to you
What if the rain comes pattering down
My heaven is blue
Can it be sending me emily brown
Miss brown to you
I know her eyes will thrill ya
But go slow, oh, oh
Dont you all get too familiar
Why do you think shes comin to town
Just wait and youll see
The lovable little miss brown to you
Is baby to me, yes, yes
Mark it down

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.

I think it's definitely beneficial for these characters to have good acting voices behind them and it affects the characters in a way that people can feel like they're part of the game and that they know these characters.

It's a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We've got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we've explored some of the secondary characters' personal lives a bit more.

Our Mother
Holy mother, i pay you a grand respect
We're borne for your lovable aspect
From strong to weak, from rich to poor
You welcome all to your heart's door
You gave us the power of speaking
Neverthless, you gave us everything
Mother, transmogrify us from all our sins
With your holy charm into well beings
We relinquish ourselves into your hand
Don't keep us left behind in strand
Redeploy us for developing this earth
To construct a better future of what we are worth
We entreat you to make our lives equitable
Unite us with your love making inseperable
We're borne for your lovable aspect
Holy mother, i pay you a grand respect

It's necessary to track characters all the way through an opera. If you're dealing with more than one or two characters, it's very easy to forget that the others have lives of their own that feed into the story.

Take It Up
A bit thicker,
A bit lovable,
A bit useful,
A bit better;
But we need you and,
You will be well once again! !
However, try to take it up to yourself and,
Let me take this away!
For, i just want you to know who i am.
