Chess London movie - Argument lyrics

rate me

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

I would have thought in the average affair<br>

That the first hint of trouble would be<br>

Oh so small; barely perceptible, easy to miss<br>

Why is ours on TV?<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

Listen -- you know as I do<br>

Nothing's altered at all<br>

I have no intention --<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Your personal life's <br>

The lead on the news!<br>

How do we ignore that?<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

I do and I must because otherwise I say<br>

Goodbye to my hopes of retaining my title<br>

If I should succumb to emotional blackmail I'm done --<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Looking after number one!<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

What do you mean?<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

I mean it's always I this and I that<br>

What happened to us?<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

All that I'm saying is I must make certain<br>

That nothing distracts me from chess<br>

When I've won<br>

Then I'll attend to the secondary things --<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

Things like me I suppose!<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

No, no -- you're reacting<br>

Exactly the way that they want<br>

<br>

[FLORENCE]<br>

It's the way I have to <br>

If I feel concerned I can't put it off<br>

And come back to it later<br>

<br>

[THE RUSSIAN]<br>

Well if you're determined to jump when they tell you<br>

Then maybe it's best that you do it alone<br>

Watch "TV, read the papers, have the miserable time of your life<br>

You could even call my wife!<br>

<br>
