Nine the Musical - Guido's Song Lyrics
GUIDO:
I would like to be here, I would like to be there,
I would like to everywhere at once.
I know that's a contradiction in terms,
And it's a problem, especially when
My body's clearing forty as my mind is nearing ten.
I can hardly stay up, and I can't get to sleep,
And I don't want to wake tomorrow morning
At the bottom of some heap,
But why take it so seriously?
After all, there's nothing at
Stake here-only me.
I want to be young, and I want to be old.
I would like to be wise before my time
And yet be foolish and brash and bold.
I would like the universe to get down on it's knees
And say, "Guido, whatever you please,
It's okay. Even if it's impossible, we'll arrange it."
That's all that I want.
I am lusting for more. Should I settle for less?
I ask you, what's a good thing for, if
Not for taking it to excess?
One limitation I dearly regret,
There's only one of me I've ever met.
I would like to have another me to
Travel along with myself.
I would even like to be able to sing a
Duet with myself.
I would like to be here (Sing along
With myself in a song)
To be there (Walking down a lane now, everywhere)
Everywhere (Everywhere. That's a
Contradiction in terms. I want to)
Here (With a counter-)
Here (Melody in the)
Here (Top of the morning to you, Guido)
Guido (Guido)
Guido (Guido)
Guido (Me)
Me (Me).
I want to be Proust or the Marquis De Sade,
I would like to be Christ, Mohammed, Buddha
But not have to believe in God,
And you know I mean it with all of my heart.
It's the end if something important
Doesn't start.
I want to be young, but I have to be old.
What I want is a tale of sound and fury
That some idiot went and told.
I would like the universe to get down
On it's knees
And say, "Guido, whatever you please, it's okay.
Even if it's ridiculous, we'll arrange it."
So arrange it!
ALL:
Arrange it!
GUIDO:
That's all that I want!
