one more from Faye and Hanrahan

Okay, before I turn in for the night, here's another from HO! The Ballad of Faye & Hanrahan. I have vivid memories of drinking and hanging out at 113 Howe (is that right, Alex?) the night before rehearsal then going "OH SHIT my CG homework!" which was to write a musical number for the next day. So Alex let me use his computer in his bedroom (away from the madding crowd) and this is what happened. This is Faye & Hanrahan's song as they begin to fall for each other. Er, remember that Hanrahan is a photographer. Or it's not funny at all.

Also, here's the tragedy: at the moment, this is from memory and I totally don't remember the bridge. I'm posting what I know for now so that nothing else evaporates from my brain -- then I will go on a bridge hunt. If you remember it, post away!


Things Are Developing

Faye:
I don't know quite how it happened,
How it came to be.
One minute he was taking pictures,
Next he'd taken me.

Hanrahan:
Everything came into focus,
Suddenly I knew,
I came out West to find adventure,
What I found... was you!

Both:
Took a picture, took a chance
Maybe this will be romance
Got a funny feelin' in my pants
Well!
I think things are developing!

Hanrahan:
Took a train and came out West,

Faye:
Kicked him out, I thought it best.

Hanrahan:
Came back in,

Faye:
I was impressed.

Both:
Well!
I think things are developing.

[BRIDGE! Oh man I wish I remembered it! But basically it builds to a giant kick-line-cymbals-crashing-tempo-slowed version of the verse, which gooooes...]

All:
Maybe love is worth the hype,
Like a good daguerreotype,
Picture perfect,
Truth not tripe,

Both:
And maybe this time will be right
A brilliant flash, a dazzling light
A spinning ecstasy of flight
Well ------ !

Muted trumpet (or just Sara):
Wah wah wah waaaah.
