Movement Vi - Work
(mary dees office)
Womens chorus (office staff)
Working women at the top,
Will it ever stop?
Papers piling up and up.
Days go by like monday, tuesday:
Work until we drop!
All the time looking great,
Running late,
In a state, losing weight,
Running late again
And again.
Mary dee
Let me have the letter that you typed up yesterday.
Did mr. fisher send the fax to la?
Make sure the flowers dont arrive too late
And cancel my appointment at the squash club.
Womens chorus
What club?
Mary dee
Squash club.
Womens chorus
Working women on the go,
Will they ever know
What it takes to run the show?
Days go by like lightning,
Will it ever slow?
Half the time feeling dead,
Over-fed,
Aching head,
Miss my bed.
Over-fed again and again.
Mary dee
Did they ever pick up the accountants resume?
Make sure the car arrives in time for the plane.
Get me the details of the takeover bid
And write another letter to the minister.
Womens chorus
Minister?
Mary dee
The minister of love.
Womens chorus
Love.
(la)
Mary dee
Wheres the time for standing still?
Womens chorus
Holding hands and walking free.
Mary dee
Wheres the time for you...
Mary dee and womens chorus
And me?
Mary dee
Did I sign the letter that you typed up yesterday?
Is mr. fisher on the flight to la?
Hes got the details of the takeover bid
And Ill be in a meeting with the minister.
Womens chorus
Minister, minister of love.
Love.
Mary dee
Feeling confusion,
Fear of intrusion,
Frightened of losing my mind.
Dreams of the future,
Thoughts of myself left behind.
Womens chorus
Working women at the top.
Mary dee
Will I ever stop?
Orders piling up and up.
Womens chorus
Days go by like thursday, friday.
Mary dee
Always on the go.
Part of myself lives inside.
(shantys office)
Mens chorus
When you ask a working man,
does he ever stop?
Will he make it to the top?
Should he take a break on sunday?
Work until he drop.
Shanty
My early days in school required
A lot of concentration
I was finding out.
But now in later years I find
My colleagues here are more inclined
To mess about.
My wife at home
Would surely never understand
If I so much as look at someone else
Mens chorus
If men had been the faithful sort
It surely would have changed the course of history.
Dont ask me who the first man was
That dared to take a mistress,
Its a mystery.
Your wife at home
Would surely have to understand
If you were ever seen with someone else.
Mr. dingle
Oh, no she wont!
Mens chorus
You wouldnt dare!
Shanty
Oh, yes I would!
Mr, dingle
Oh, no you dont!
Mens chorus
All things matrimonial
Carry with them certain responsibilities.
Shanty and mr. dingle
(ah)
Carry with them certain responsibilities.
Mr. dingle
Lets find ourselves a little hostelry
Where you can sit and have a drink on me.
Well get a chance
To talk about anyone who bothers us.
Theres so much more to life than meets the eye,
Its quite enough to make a throat feel dry.
So lets repair
To where no-one else would dare to bother us.
Lets have a drink
While we think what to do.
And while we think,
Ill accept a little drink from you.
If everybody took a serious view of life,
We all would feel the same as you.
But, as it is,
We dont, so it isnt gonna bother us.
Lets have a drink
While we think what to do.
And while we think,
Ill accept a little drink from you.
Mary dee
Part of myself grows inside.

(mary dee and shantys home)
Mary dee (alone in bedroom)
The world youre coming into,
Is no easy place to enter.
Every day is haunted
By the echoes of the past.
Funny thoughts and wild; wild dreams
Will find their way into your mind.
The clouds that hang above us,
May be full of rain and thunder.
But in time they slide away
To find the sun still there.
Lazy days and wild. wild flowers
Will bring some joy into your heart.
And I will always love you,
Ill welcome you into this world.
Mary dee and boy solo
You-re mine and I will love you.

]where-s my dinner?
Ive been working hard all day
And a man can work up quite an appetite that way.
Whats for dinner?
Something nourishing and hot?
I could tackle quite a lot of you know what
And all Ive got to say to you is why no dinner?
Ive got nothing on my plate.
Its expected of a mate.
Whyd ya have to make me wait?
Wheres my...
Mary dee
This is the way we put out the candle.
Farewell to childhood.
Deep in the wild wood a fire goes out,
And what are we left with
Now we are grown up?
Shanty
This is the way we pull up the anchor.
Goodbye to romance.
Out on the ocean a good ship is lost,
And what are we left with
Now we are grown up?
Mary dee
Time to be thinking of real life feelings.
I must get on.
Shanty
Time to be buying those little trinkets
I cant afford.
Lord knows
I want to give her the best.
But where will
I find the rest of the cash?
Mary dee
Its one mad dash
To fame and fortune.
The cymbals clash
And then youre gone.
Shanty
So what are my chances
Of getting promotion?
The way things are going
It doesnt look good.
Mary dee
What good is complaining,
Its getting you nowhere.
And Im in the middle of your whirlwind
In the eye of your storm.
Shanty
Lets not argue.
Mary dee
Spare me your excuses.
Shanty
No excuses.
Mary dee
Pardon my anger.
Shanty
Why are you driving me so hard?
Mary dee
I cant believe what Im hearing.
Shanty
You didnt cook any dinner.
Mary dee
Im not a slave.
I work for a living,
I can command the respect of my peers.
Where did you go?
You were out with the boys.
Shanty
So what if I went for a drink?
Youd think to listen to you
It was some sort of crime.
Mary dee
I needed someone to talk to
But all I could find was myself.
If you were the same man I married,
Youd know that your woman needs love.
Shanty
And what about me?
I suppose I dont matter.
Im not even sure
If you ever loved me.
Mary dee
Right!
Thats it!
Im off!
Oh, and by the way...youre about to become a father.
(she rushes our into the street)
Chorus
Stop.
Wait.
Hold on.
Hold on to life.
Stay.
(hospital)
Nurse
Do you know who you are
As you lie there sleeping?
Take the time to rest your troubled head.
I will watch over you till the moment you awake.
Can you hear what I say
As you lie there sleeping?
When misfortunes crowd into your day
And the dark side of life
Has become too much to bear,
I will stay by your side.
Though we dont yet know if theres something wrong
You were brought in from the street
And a witness said you gave a shout
As you fell down at his feet.
We are running tests
And soon the results will be known.
But I feel I have to warn you,
There may be complications.
But we dont yet know if your child is in danger.
We shall have to wait and see.
In the meantime
There is nothing more for you to do
But sleep.
Boys
Ghosts of the past left behind.
Mens chorus (ghosts)
Youre sleeping
Amongst us.
Were in your dream.

Youre dreaming. try to rest, my child.

Then let me love her
Until we run out of time.
And in the future
I will promise to be the man
She had in mind.
Nurse
Be still.
Be calm.
Your child is safe.
Mary dee
Do we live in a world
With an uncertain future
Where a man is unsure of his fate?
Will we come to our senses
Be fair to each other?
Can we turn it around
Before its too late?
Do I know that we have the answer?
Yes, I know now we are together.
So we must bear in mind
That the pages are turning
And the sand will run out of the glass.
In the heat of the battle
We will drive out the demons
And well carry the day,
For we must save the child.
Mary dee and nurse
(ah)
Mary dee and shanty
We have come to our senses,
We are part of each other
And well carry the day,
For we must save the child.
Chorus

Movement V - Wedding
Shanty I know I should be glad of this
For to be thankful is
To know.
I hope
That you will still be here,
The time is drawing near
For us to know.
Mary dee (no longer as a ghost)
Ill always be here
As long as youve got time for me.
Whether its joy or sadness,
It doesnt matter
As long as you have time for me,
We will be together.
Shanty
I know that to be thankful is
Not what I need, but just for right now
Its all Ive got.
I know that patience is a virtue.
But at this time in my life
I need something more.
Something in the air
Is slowly drawing us together.
Mary dee
Sit tight,
Be brave.
And believe in something more.
Shanty
If I could sit still,
It I could be courageous.
I have a feeling that theres something
Drawing us inevitably towards it.
Mary dee
If you have patience,
You neednt wait for ever.
This is the story that they tell the children
Who are always asking the question.
Shanty
I know someone is making sense.
Mary dee
We have a common sense.

Movement Iii - Crypt
Shanty
And so it was that I had grown
Into a youth uncertain, thrown
Amongst the lions and the lambs.
To pass the time we watched the children dance.
I used to come here when this place was a crypt.
Now the music plays.
Oh dont you sometimes wish theyd stick to the script
As the local preacher says.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold the harvest grown. r
Ian from heaven falls down on you,
But me, I feel alone.
Preacher (sympathetically)
Alone.
Shanty
Alone.
Preacher
If they wont come to worship
God in a church
Something must be done.
We have to instigate a nationwide search
For a way to make it fun.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold the harvest grown.
Shanty and preacher
Rain from heaven falls down on you,
Shanty
But me, I feel alone.
Alone.
Here now,
What am I doing here now?
Hear me,
Why do you never hear me?
Why do you never hear me?
Mary dee (as half-ghost)
Ill always be here.
Ill never leave you.
Ill always be in your mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.
Womens chorus
(ah)
Shanty
Thought I had a vision
Lying in a graveyard,
Thought I heard a melody inside.
Could it be the future,
Speaking with the voice of those who died?
Thought I saw a kingdom,
Happiness and laughter,
Somewhere for an innocent to play.
Is there any justice?
Do these things still happen in this way?
Mary dee
Dont tell him no,
It isnt fair.
For he was told by those who know
There was love everywhere.
Shanty
Love everywhere.
Mary dee
Nows the time to tell him,
While his mothers crying.
Break it to him gently as she weeps.
Let him know his father
Will be well looked after, where he sleeps.
Chorus (ghosts)
Hes sleeping amongst us.
Hes in our dreams.
Dont worry. hes with us now.
Shanty
Dont say its so,
It isnt fair.
For I was told by those who know
There was love everywhere.
Alone.

Mary Mary Magdalene
Mary Mary Magdalene,
what do all those stories mean?
Mary, Mary, is it true,
Jesus had a thing for you?
Mary, Mary – He lay with you?
Mary, Mary, tell me true
Mary, Mary, red hair wild,
did He leave you great with child?
Mary, was your love so steady,
that you had had His kids already?
Mary, Mary, at the Cross,
did it feel a gain or loss?
Mary, Mary – on that third day,
what was it like with the stone rolled away?
Mary, Mary, running there with love,
what did you think when He rose above?
Mary, Mary – what was it like, after?
Were there tears or joyful laughter?
Mary, Mary – the kids you had –
did they turn out like their Dad?
Mary, Mary, whore redeemed,
did it work out like you dreamed?
Mary, Mary – your afterlife –
was it mostly love, or mostly strife?
Mary, Mary, were you worshipped or despised
As Mary’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Christ?
Mary, Mary, did you stay,
or feel you had to take the kids away?
Mary, Mary, with so much love,
did you, too, rise to heaven above?
Mary, Mary, in the sky,
all we ask are the reasons why…
Mary, Mary Magdalene,
What is really true? What does it really mean?

But maybe there were some things you just didnt know.
But youre my father,
And surely fathers ought to know about most things
In this life.

You were only human
And a lot like all the rest.

That would speed past your door.

When You Get There
You wake up in the morning
And you're not feeling quite the same
You feel a gentle hand upon you
But you seem to have forgotten her name
You put on your clothes
You're heading home
You're hoping and praying you
won't be all alone
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You haven't had a chance to think
About explaining where you slept till noon
You can't say you were working all night
Cause it's Sunday afternoon
The truth is too hard
You'll never come back
'Cause a one night stand is not
worth the attack
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You're walking up to our front door
As my face comes into view
You think you've got a pretty good lie
You say you slept at Mary Lou's
You open the door
You start telling lies
But then from the hall
You hear Mary Lou cry

When you get there
When you get there
When you get there

Mary, Ill love her all my life
But shell never be my wife
She broke my heart - broke my trust
Now I cant believe that shes seriuos
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never marry mary...
Restless and wild - she runs away
Comes back and tells me shes here to stay
Tried to give her time but she wanted more
Now I just dont feel like I did before
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never mary mary...
Mary, I tried to understand
But I cant stay here at your command
Got to break away - its been too long
Still I cant say all the feelings gone
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never mary mary...

Arms Of Mary
(Ian and George Sutherland)
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
CHORUS
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She out me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
when I learned all she had to give
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin for my one and only
That's when I wish was lyin' in
The Arms of Mary
(repeat chorus)

Movement Ii - School
Boys
Were here in school today to get a perfect education,
Yes, were going up.
Were keen to learn the rules and laws that civilization taught us
Yes, were growing up.
Not for ourselves, b
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in liverpool.
Our teachers say that ignorance will always drag us down,
Its like a nagging cough.
Shanty (thrown away)
But I can say that looking back,
The most important thing I found was sagging off!
Not for the whole world.
But for yourself were you born.
And you were...
Shanty and boys
Born in liverpool.
Boys
Not birmingham
Nor edinburgh.
Not manchester
Or sunderland.
Shanty
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.
Boys
This school is good for us.
Shanty
This school is only good for those
Who want to learn from books.
Youll lose your sense of purpose...
Boys
But we dare not answer back,
Were scared of teachers looks.
Not for ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in liverpool.
Shanty
Not coventry
Headmaster
Or solihull.
Boys
Not scarborough
Shanty
Nor inverness.
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.
Headmaster
Walk in single file out of the classroom,
Down the stairs and into the playground.
Boys
Through the school gates,
Cross the road, and over the cemetery fence,
Down the hill to where the grave-stones
Lie inviting in the sun.
Settle down.
Settle down.
Let the afternoon slip by.
Settle down.
Settle down.
Its the perfect place for a kip.
(shanty falls asleep on a grave-stone and dreams)
Shanty
Kept in confusion,
Trapped by illusion,
Thinking of speaking my mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.
Constantly drifting,
Endlessly lifting
More weight than one man can bear.
Into the future,
Ghosts of the past everywhere.
Mens chorus (ghosts)
Youre sleeping amongst us,
Were in your dream,
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?
Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.
Shanty
Ghosts of the past.
Tossing and turning,
Somehow Im learning
Secrets Id rather not know.
Cant it be simple?
Why does it have to be so?
Mary dee (as ghost)
I ll always be here,
I ll never leave you,
I ll always be in your mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts that the past left behind.
Women s chorus (ghosts)
You re sleeping amongst us.
We re in your dream.
Who are you?
Why call us?
What does this mean?
Full chorus (ghosts)
Disturbing our slumber,
You move so fast.
Shanty and mary dee (as ghost)
Ghosts of the past.
(later, back in school)

Rockaway The Days
Billy got out of prison but he wasnt right
Some like to drink or gamble, billy liked to fight
He tracked back to his home state of maryland
Went to his moms mobile home where she took him in, alright
Chorus:
Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights
Gimme something to last me, baby, till the morning light
I aint lookin for trouble, I aint looking for a fight
Honey rockaway these days, rockaway these nights
Well at a picnic one sunday billy met mary dove
Mary looked at billy, billy fell in love
Billy swore to mary hed always love her so
They were married in the valley where the river flows, alright
(chorus)
At a roadside bar billy argued with a young man
And he settled that argument with a razor in his hand
With blood on his shirt back to mary he did run
She sighed billy, oh billy, what have you done?
He ran to his mas trailer but the lights were dim
He pounded on the door, she wouldnt let him in
Up the road to a neighbors house he drew near
They said billy go away, we dont want no trouble round here
Billy stole a car and headed out on the road
Pocketful of pills and his brain on overload
Seen some lights in his rearview mirror, panicked and gave her the gun
Wrapped himself round a telephone pole way out on 101
Well billy got cut out by the highway patrol
Just lay there with the cars passing on slow
Sheriff told billys ma that billy died
She buried his body by the riverside, alright
(chorus)
Well rich man want the power and the seat on the top
Poor man want the money that the rich man got
Honey tonight Im feeling so tired and unsure
Come on in mary, shut the light, close the door
(chorus)

Mary Jane
Now when I go to work, I work all day,
Always turns out the same.
When I bring home my hard-earned pay
I spend my money all on mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature,
They all turn out the same.
cause they cant do nothing to make a man feel good
Like my old mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Now I walk in the street now lookin for a friend
One that can lend me some change.
And he never questions my reason why,
cause he too loves mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Well, I have known women that wanted no man,
Some that wanted to stay.
But I never knew what happened in this world
Till I met up with mary jane,
Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane.
Oh, when Im feelin lonesome and Im feelin blue,
Theres only one way to change.
Now I walk down the street now lookin for a man,
One that knows my mary jane,
Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane.

Little Mary
Little Mary takes a walk
With her perfect hair and perfect heart
And happy as can be
Little Mary
Mary its just visual I dont think its real
Inside I think shes me
Well I could be wrong could be right
Dont think it matters
Cause little Mary sings her song and wipes away her tears
Little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Drop a line my way
You say it Mary, say it Mary
Dont be afraid to reveal
Its this preconceived notion that everybody's got
That little girls are perfect and angry they are not
And little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Oh little Mary
Dont you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
And little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven
Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
Its always a perfect little Mary that falls
She falls
And its always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls
Little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
