The Sondheim Lyrics Chain

[MartinG]

I do not read to think. I do not read to learn.
I do not read to search for truth
I know the truth, the truth is hardly what I need.
I read to dream.

[KathyB]

His needs are few, his room is bare,
He hardly uses his fancy chair,
The more he bleeds, the more he lives,
He never forgets and he never forgives.

[scenicdesign71]

Someone to bleed you of all
The things you don't want to tell.
That's happily ever after...
Ever, ever, ever after
In hell.

[valmont]

Clara, I'm in hell 
This is hell
Living hell 
This godforsaken place 
This sterile little town

[MartinG]

Now, why did he turn it off so quick?
A sign that our little town is sick....

- Brilliant!
- Clever!
- Good!
- Brilliant!
- Brilliant!
- Brilliant!

Sick people running wild, no less,
And who is responsible?

[KathyB]

You're responsible,
You're the one to blame
It's your--

[valmont]

Trouble is, Charley,
That's what everyone does:
Blames the way it is
On the way it was,
On the way it never ever was.

[Chris L]

They have never understood
And no reason that they should
But if anybody could

[Vera Charles]

Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood,
They will not protect you
The way that they should.
And take extra care with strangers,
Even flowers have their dangers.

[Vera Charles]

Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood,
They will not protect you
The way that they should.
And take extra care with strangers,
Even flowers have their dangers.

I've just realised that flowers has been used before ... if that's not allowed, then

Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood,
They will not protect you
The way that they should.
And take extra care with strangers,
Even flowers have their dangers.

[scenicdesign71]

...And to get what you wish,
Only just for a moment--
These are dangerous woods!

Let the moment go.
Don't forget it for a moment, though...

[Bobster]

Please lady!
Don't forget that guns can go boom!

[valmont]

Boom
Crunch

[MartinG]

The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch -

[Bobster]

Go have lunch 'cause I'm not getting married
You've been grand but I'm not getting married
