Nine movie - Guido's Song lyrics
rate me<br>
[GUIDO]<br>
I would like to be here, I would like<br>
To be there,<br>
I would like to everywhere at once.<br>
I know that's a contradiction in terms,<br>
And it's a problem, especially when<br>
My body's clearing forty as my mind is <br>
Nearing ten.<br>
<br>
I can hardly stay up, and I can't get to <br>
Sleep,<br>
And I don't want to wake tomorrow<br>
Morning<br>
At the bottom of some heap,<br>
But why take it so seriously?<br>
After all, there's nothing at <br>
Stake here-only me.<br>
<br>
I want to be young, and I want to be<br>
Old.<br>
I would like to be wise before my time<br>
And yet be foolish and brash and bold.<br>
I would like the universe to get down<br>
On it's knees<br>
And say, "Guido, whatever you please,<br>
It's okay. Even if it's impossible, we'll<br>
Arrange it."<br>
That's all that I want.<br>
<br>
I am lusting for more. Should I settle <br>
For less?<br>
I ask you, what's a good thing for, if <br>
Not for taking it to excess?<br>
One limitation I dearly regret,<br>
There's only one of me I've ever met.<br>
<br>
I would like to have another me to<br>
Travel along with myself.<br>
I would even like to be able to sing a <br>
Duet with myself.<br>
<br>
I would like to be here (Sing along<br>
With myself in a song)<br>
To be there (Walking down a lane now,<br>
Everywhere)<br>
Everywhere (Everywhere. That's a <br>
Contradiction in terms. I want to)<br>
Here (With a counter-)<br>
Here (Melody in the)<br>
Here (Top of the morning to you, Guido)<br>
Guido (Guido)<br>
Guido (Guido)<br>
Guido (Me)<br>
Me (Me).<br>
<br>
I want to be Proust or the Marquis De <br>
Sade,<br>
I would like to be Christ, Mohammed,<br>
Buddha<br>
But not have to believe in God,<br>
And you know I mean it with all of my<br>
Heart.<br>
It's the end if something important<br>
Doesn't start.<br>
<br>
I want to be young, but I have to be <br>
Old.<br>
What I want is a tale of sound and <br>
Fury<br>
That some idiot went and told.<br>
I would like the universe to get down<br>
On it's knees<br>
And say, "Guido, whatever you please, <br>
It's okay.<br>
Even if it's ridiculous, we'll arrange<br>
it."<br>
So arrange it!<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Arrange it!<br>
<br>
[GUIDO]<br>
That's all that I want!<br>
<br>
