Nine Artists - I Can´t Make This Movie (Daniel Day Lewis/Guido Contini) lyrics

rate me

I can´t make this movie,

there´s no way that I´ll begin it.

I can´t bear to see the cameras roll.

The problem is the subject,

there´s no pleasant way to treat it.

Problem is the author´s lost control.

How I wish it didn´t have to be so,

but we cut the losses-starting

Now strike the set and keep it for some sideshow,

Tell the cast and crew that they can all go.

Find another genius,

I´cant be one or become one.

I can´t even tell how I´d begin.

Help Luisa, help me,

help me Mamma,

Help me someone!

Here´s a place where I have never been.

Guido out in space with no direction,

Guido at a loss for what to say,

Guido with no intervening actors,

Guido at the mercy of detractors,

Guido here alone with only Guido.

Nothing holds together,

nothing makes a bit of sense now.

Impossible to grasp or undestand.

How can I go on to watch the whole of my existence

end up being nothing that I planned?

Have I lost myself and all i wished for?

Has my life become a mindless game?

Guido, I can´t stand the name of Guido.

Guido, for Godsake!

Who is this Guido?

Guido here, with no one else but Guido...
