Bright Lights, Big City movie - Fact and Fiction lyrics

<br>

Secretary:<br>

Gotham Magazine, <br>

Department of Factual Verification<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

You’re terminally unpunctual<br>

<br>

Ensemble:<br>

Fact!<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

Your work is quite dysfunctional<br>

<br>

Ensemble:<br>

Fact!<br>

<br>

Clara: <br>

I’ve had as much as I can take<br>

<br>

Jamie:<br>

I’m just a boy in the city, Clara<br>

Give a boy a break<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

Oh, no no no no, <br>

I don’t think so Jamie<br>

You can’t be a dreamer in an office that deals in fact<br>

Not fiction, I’m talking, baby, fact<br>

Not contradiction<br>

I spoke with Mr. Depardieu<br>

<br>

Ensemble:<br>

Fact!<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

And we’re moving the French piece <br>

Up an issue<br>

<br>

Ensemble: <br>

Fact!<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

I need it on my desk<br>

Tomorrow at nine<br>

<br>

Ensemble:<br>

Fact!<br>

<br>

Clara:<br>

Can you handle it Jamie?<br>

<br>

Jamie:<br>

I can handle it, Clara<br>

<br>

Secretary:<br>

Fiction!<br>

<br>

Jamie:<br>

It isn’t that compelling checking<br>

Other people’s spelling<br>

Grammar isn’t glamorous,<br>

Dictionaries either<br>

I wish I was in fiction <br>

I’m so tired of waiting<br>

Wondering where along the line<br>

I simply stopped exhilarating<br>

I remember coming here the first time for my interview<br>

I thought of all the names that had been made here<br>

I expected to leave fact and go upstairs to fiction<br>

The inevitability of it all was so convincing<br>

Please, sir, could you read my writing?<br>

Open invitation, <br>

Criticize, construction<br>

Here’s an introduction to who I am<br>

And who I want to be<br>

<br>

Secretary:<br>

Jamie, line two, Monsieur Depardieu<br>

He demands to speak to vous<br>

Who is this guy?<br>

<br>

<br>
