<br>

<br>

THE STORY IS A FAMOUS ONE<br>

NOW WORSHIPPED, NOW DISMISSED<br>

REHEARSED AND TRAWLED FOR MEANINGS<br>

THAT MAY WELL NOT EXIST<br>

THE DEMON AT THE STORY'S HEART<br>

THE CUCKOO IN THE NEST<br>

GIVES LITTLE OF HIMSELF AWAY<br>

WHICH IS OF COURSE WHY YOU WILL STAY<br>

IN CASE HE FALTERS, SHOULD BETRAY<br>

BY WHOM OR WHAT POSSESSED<br>

<br>

THESE ARE THE FACTS OF THE MATTER<br>

THESE ARE THE NAMES IN THE CASE<br>

THIS IS THE STORY, THE PASSION<br>

THE TIME AND THE PLACE<br>

THEY'RE LAID HERE BEFORE YOU<br>

SO JUDGE IF YOU CAN -<br>

THE DEVIL INCARNATE OR<br>

A MISUNDERSTOOD MAN?<br>

<br>

HIS ORIGINS, HIS WAY OF LIFE<br>

HIS MOTIVES - THEY'RE ALL NEWS<br>

NO SHORTAGE OF DETRACTORS<br>

TO AIR THEIR NOISY VIEWS<br>

THE MAN INSPIRES A THOUSAND LIES<br>

THE LOVER TAKES HIS CHOICE<br>

REMAINING COLDLY IN CONTROL<br>

AWARE THAT SADLY, ON THE WHOLE<br>

IT IS THE FOOL WHO BARES HIS SOUL<br>

I'LL GIVE THE MAN A VOICE!<br>

<br>

THESE ARE THE FACTS OF THE MATTER<br>

THESE ARE THE NAMES IN THE CASE<br>

THIS IS THE STORY, THE PASSION<br>

THE TIME AND THE PLACE<br>

THEY'RE LAID HERE BEFORE YOU<br>

SO JUDGE IF YOU CAN -<br>

THE DEVIL INCARNATE OR<br>

A MISUNDERSTOOD MAN? <br>
