Eva And Magaldi / Eva Beware Of The City |
To think that a man as famous as you are |
Could love a poor little nothing like me |
I wanna be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
She wants to be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
Just listen to that, they’re on to you Magaldi |
I’d get out while you can |
It’s happened at last, I’m starting to get started |
I’m moving out with my man |
Now Eva don’t get carried away |
Monotony past, suburbia departed |
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond? |
Don’t hear words that I didn’t say |
What’s that? |
You’d desert the girl you love? |
The girl I love? |
What are you talking about? |
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement |
She gave you all she had, she wasn’t in your contract |
You must be quite relieved that noone’s told the papers, so far |
I wanna be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
Would I have done what I did |
If I hadn’t thought, if I hadn’t known |
We would stay together |
Seems to me there’s no point in resisting |
She’s made up her mind, you’ve no choice |
Why don’t you be the man who discovered her |
You’ll never be remembered for your voice |
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash |
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash |
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash |
If you were rich or middle class … |
Screw the middle classes! |
I will never accept them! |
My father’s other family were middle class |
And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral |
Do all your one night stands give you this trouble? |
Eva beware of the city |
It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, it is mad |
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole |
And those who are not become what they should not become |
Changed, in short, they go bad |
Bad is good for me |
I’m bored, so clean, and so ignored |
I’ve only been predictable, respectable |
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can’t I? |
I only want variety, of society |
I wanna be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
She wants to be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
Five years from now I shall come back |
And finally say, «You have your way, come to town.» |
But you’ll look at me with a foreigner’s eyes |
The magical city, a younger girl’s city |
A fantasy long since put down |
All you’ve done to me, was that a young girl’s fantasy? |
I played your city games alright, didn’t I? |
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks |
I tasted it last night, didn’t I? |
I’m gonna be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
She’s gonna be a part of B.A. |
Buenos Aires, Big Apple |
Eva beware your ambition |
It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, will run wild |
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman |
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child |
And whatever you say, I’ll not steal you away |
