Aspects Of Love First Orchestral Interlude Lyrics

ALEX (moving close to her)
So change my life for me again...

ALEX
Here we go again!
Heaven knows when she'll be back --
That girl has got a knack
Of keeping you guessing!

ELIZABETH (entering, flustered)
Madame will soon be here,
But she says you are to leave:
Your uncle is coming,
You'd better get going...

ALEX
So why all the panic?
Why shouldn't I be here?

ELIZABETH
She's scared that his heart
Couldn't stand all this drama...

ALEX
Well, it's hardly a shock
If my uncle sees me here...

That girl is unbelievable!
Was last night the sort of thing
She could just forget?
It would be hard to find
A more capricious mind...

ROSE
What are you doing here?

ALEX
All right, where have you been?

ROSE
Will you please disappear?

ALEX What the hell do you mean?

ROSE (turns away)
Leave me, leave me!
I don't want George exposed
To some unpleasant scene.

ALEX (getting out his gun)
If I can't have you, no one will.
Killing you would be a pleasure.

ROSE
So all you're fit for is to kill?
Go on and pull the trigger,
See if I care!
Come on, soldier!
Be a hero!

ALEX
You never loved me?

ROSE
Does it matter?
You never meant it?
Who remembers?
And now you hate me...
Go away, you little
Schoolboy...
GEORGE
My only genuine Matisse!
Thank God...
No damage done...
Would someone kindly tell me
What on earth has happened?
ELIZABETH
He lost his head,
The gun went off,
She's bleeding badly,
Use your scarf --
Here, let me help...

GEORGE
You'd better phone the doctor.
