Chess London movie - Terrace Duet lyrics
rate me<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid<br>
Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick.<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
A drink on a clear moonlit night -- I relax, she smiles<br>
There's something peculiar going on.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can<br>
Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned --<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
Now she can't be working for them -- I mean us --<br>
She seems so very straightforward -- but where is he?<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
He has to come back -- he wanted this meeting, well didn't he?<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
Maybe he's scared -- just as scared as he was in the game.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
Oh, I just couldn't care less<br>
He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career, I know I've done<br>
my best<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
Well at least she's a good-looking spy.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans<br>
Are more of an intimate kind?<br>
If I don't say something else soon<br>
He'll go -- Nobody's on nobody's side!<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
Listen, I hate to break up the mood<br>
Get to the point, begin the beguine<br>
Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short<br>
In this idyllic, well-produced scene?<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
All I can say is moments ago<br>
He was right here ready and waiting<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIA]<br>
Never mind him -- I haven't missed him so far.<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
Maybe it won't do any harm<br>
To struggle on without his charm<br>
Funny how all at once I feel that he can go jump off the mountain<br>
I won't care<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
My dear opponent -- I really can't imagine why<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
So I am not dangerous then? -- what a shame!<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
Oh, you're not dangerous -- who could think that of you?<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
You -- you are so strange -- why can't you be what you ought to<br>
be?<br>
You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half --<br>
<br>
[THE RUSSIAN]<br>
I have to had it to you<br>
For you've managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this<br>
farce.<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
I don't know why I can't think of anything<br>
I would rather do<br>
Than be wasting my time<br>
On mountains with you.<br>
<br>
