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

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.
