Woman In White movie - You Can Get Away With Anything lyrics
rate me<br>
(Fosco's lodgings in London. We see him at home in a strange, <br>
surreal lair-full of caged animals-birds and mice. He is packing)<br>
<br>
FOSCO<br>
<br>
Time to fly the coop, my doves!<br>
Arriverderci, Londra! No tears, bambini. <br>
You must learn to far la bella figura! <br>
Put on a good show! <br>
Always Count Fosco-he puts on a good show!<br>
<br>
(Fosco performs for his animals)<br>
<br>
My little friends you are all in this world<br>
that I trust<br>
Now we must find a new home and I see you're non plussed<br>
Now that we've won<br>
and we' have all the spoils<br>
We must see that we don't miss the boat<br>
But you'll forgive me if I take a moment to gloat<br>
<br>
You can get away with anything<br>
It all comes down to style<br>
You'll have a captive<br>
audience<br>
As long as you beguile<br>
Yes you can have your cake and eat it<br>
The love of those whom you betray<br>
But you can't get away with anything<br>
If you don't get away<br>
I admit that I'm a criminal<br>
obsessed with perfect crimes<br>
But even one as good as I<br>
can bungle it sometimes<br>
Yes even one who is a genius<br>
can now and then get in a scrape<br>
But no endeavor's a catastrophe<br>
as long as you escape<br>
<br>
And we are off! Out that door!<br>
<br>
We'll pack our bags my little friends<br>
and leave the scene while we are winners<br>
And long before the story ends<br>
as wealthy unrepentant sinners<br>
We all have got a spot of farce in us<br>
but only some of us are larcenous<br>
And few still the divine thrill in us<br>
that comes from being truly villainous<br>
<br>
You can get away with anything<br>
to prove it is my sport<br>
I live to push the boundaries<br>
to break the rules, in short<br>
One must be something of a bounder<br>
if one intends to play this game<br>
There's only one thing that one has to have<br>
one has to have <br>
no shame<br>
Yes I can get away with everything because I<br>
have no shame<br>
<br>
(He is almost completely packed and ready to go, <br>
when a servant enters and announces Marian's arrival)<br>
<br>
<br>
