Pirate Queen movie - I Dismiss You lyrics
rate meSong by Original Broadway Cast<br /><br>
GRACE<br>
You are not a man,<br>
You don't have a spine,<br>
Ready to surrender<br>
And put Ireland in chains<br>
Whoring's made you soft<br>
Drink has left you weak<br>
Not a drop of Irish blood<br>
Is left within your veins<br>
<br>
You and all your lies,<br>
I've borne all that I must<br>
I can see you clear;<br>
You're a dead weight in a war,<br>
A disgrace to the clan<br>
You're a hundred things more,<br>
What you're not is man!<br>
<br>
Get up!<br>
Jesus Christ!<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
I've had enough of this,<br>
Woman, hold your whist!<br>
"Woman," well not quite,<br>
That's always been the joke;<br>
What is the trouble here?<br>
Basic'lly the gist<br>
Is I can't go on being<br>
Married to a bloke<br>
<br>
Yes, love, it's true<br>
You've been adm'rably taught<br>
Pressed to admit,<br>
You're an ace at your trade,<br>
You're a half-decent shot,<br>
Fairly skilled with a blade...<br>
But a woman you're not!<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
My father up above,<br>
His very word you flout!<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
Boots, swords,<br>
And trousers<br>
I've been the<br>
patient one!<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Has it been three years?<br>
I can still walk out!<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
I draw the line,<br>
If you cross it, then<br>
<br>
GRACE AND DONAL<br>
We're done!<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
You took my rightful place<br>
Through the mad dying words<br>
of a senile old man<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Now you've fin'lly said<br>
What is unforgivable<br>
<br>
Every day<br>
Discrediting<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
(at the same time)<br>
Every day<br>
regretting<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
The bargain that we made<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Never did I<br>
Have a doubt<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
(at the same time)<br>
Not a doubt ever<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
That this would<br>
Come to be<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Poisonous<br>
And pitiful<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
(at the same time)<br>
Poisoned,<br>
Perverted,<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
The tune you asked be played<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Someone has to<br>
pay the piper;<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
(at the same time)<br>
Someone must<br>
pay up, dear<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
Better you than me<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
No!<br>
As allowed me, by our Irish laws,<br>
I say to you now...<br>
I dismiss you!<br>
I dismiss you!<br>
I dismiss you!<br>
<br>
MEN<br>
Stay away from Grania,<br>
You don't matter any more<br>
Hang your sword up, go below - you've<br>
Nothing else to do<br>
Soon as we get into port<br>
We dump you on the shore<br>
Unity of clans is over<br>
All because of you...<br>
All because of you...<br>
All because of you...<br>
All because of you...<br>
<br>
