The Movie in My Mind (Lyrics)
Sung from the musical “Miss Saigon ” by Gigi, played by Isay Alvarez and Kim, played by Lea Salonga on its initial showing in London. Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil.
(Gigi)
They are not nice they’re mostly noise
They drink like men they screw like boys
I know there’s nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms it starts
The movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can’t erase and in a strong GI’s embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
The movie plays and plays
Its screen before me fills
He takes me to New York and gives me dollar bills
Our children laugh all day and eat too much ice cream
And life is like a dream
Dream , the dream I long to find
The movie in my mind
(Kim)
I will not cry, I will not think
I’ll do my dance and make them drink
When I make love it won’t be me
And if they hurt me I’ll just close my eyes and see
The movie in m mind
The song that fills my head
A man who will not kill
Who’ll fight for me instead
He’ll keep us safe all day
So no one comes at night to blow the dream away
Dream, the dream I long to find
The movie in my mind (Instrumental)
(Bar Girls)
And in a strong GI”s embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
(Kim)
A world that’s far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind
Liked it
Very nice. I never saw the musical Miss Saigon
A great share and I now look forward to many more by you.
Eddy.
