The Night I Saved Peter Ustinov — текст песни (Lauren Christy)





I was walking barefoot on St. Paul`s bridge
When I saw a man talking to God
He was round and handsome
Anachronistically
A little odd
I overheard his conversation
He said, "I can`t live in a world devoid of love."
And the voice, the voice was so familiar
It was the voice of Peter Ustinov
"Peter," I whispered from the shadows
"We`ve all been damaged by the 20th century
A man like you can talk to God
But can you spare a word for me?
For I have loved you since the time
I saw you in `The Mouse that Roared`."
"That was Peter Sellers, my dear.
Go away," he implored
Chorus:
"See, I used to be Ustinov
But used to`s no good enough for me
See, I used to be Ustinov
But used to`s not good enough for me."
The I blurted out "Quo Vadis"
"Topkapi," ooh yeah "Evil Under The Sun."
He waved his hand, "It`s too late for that.
As you said, the damage has been done."
Then he lifted his body up
To throw himself to a watery grave
"Peter," I yelled
"What about `Billy Budd`
The innocent no one could save?"
(Repeat chorus)
"So tell me what you`re dying for
Have you been so disrespected?"
He winked at me and said, "`Billy Budd.`
I wrote, starred, and directed."
Then he bowed and kissed my hand
And said, "What was I thinking of?"
And walked away into the night
The night I saved Peter Ustinov
"You used to be Ustinov
But used to`s still good enough for me
You used to be Ustinov
But used to`s still good enough for me."
