Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Lady's Got Potential (Film Version) текст песни

Che
In June of '43 there was a military coup.
Behind it was a gang called the GOU,
Who did not feel the need to be elected.
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun,
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun,
A bomb or two, and very few objected.

Yeah, just one shove and governments fall like flies
(Kapow! Die!)
They stumble and fall!
(Bye-bye!)
Backs to the wall!
(Aim high!)
We're having a ball!
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies.

The lady's got potential; she was setting her sights
on making it in movies with her name in lights;
The greatest social climber since Cinderella.
OK, she couldn't act, but she had the right friends,
and we all know our career depends
on knowing the right fellow to be stellar.

Yeah, just one shove and governments lose their nerve
(Kapow! Die!)
They stumble and fall!
(Bye-bye!)
Backs to the wall!
(Aim high!)
We're having a ball!
That's how we get the government we deserve.

Now the man behind the president calling the shots,
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots,
was Colonel Juan Peron, would-be dictator.
He began in the army out in Italy, so
saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later.

Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain.
(Kapow! Die!)
They haven't a chance!
(Bye-bye!)
The terrorists advance!
But one guy
doesn't dirty his hands!
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane.

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan.
(Kapow! Die!)
They stumble and fall
(Bye-bye!)
Keep away from the wall
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron

He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair --
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor
It was January twenty-second, 1944.
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure,
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva.
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva.
