Deux perles à écouter sans modération, composées par Paul Williams pour le film de Brian de Palma, Phantom of the Paradise, inspiré du Mythe Romantique Faustien ainsi que de l'oeuvre de Gaston Leroux, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra mais transposé, ici, dans l'univers dépravé du Rock and Roll.

"Faust

I was not myself last night
Couldn't set things right
With apologies or flowers
Out of place as a cryin' clown
Who could only frown
And the play went on for hours
And as I lived my role
I swore I'd sell my soul
For one love who would stand by me
And give me back the gift of laughter
One love who would stand by me
And after making love we'd...

Dream a bit of style
We'd dream a bunch of friends
Dream each others smile
And dream it never ends

I was not myself last night
In the morning light
I could see the change was showing
Like a child who was always poor
Reaching out for more
I could feel the hunger growing
And as I lost control
I swore I'd sell my soul
For one love who would sing my song
And fill this emptiness inside me
One love who would sing my song
And lay beside me while we'd...

Dream a bit of style
We'd dream a bunch of friends
Dream each others smile
And dream it never ends

All my dreams are lost and I can't sleep
And sleep alone could ease my mind
All my tears have dried and I can't weep
Old emotions
May they rest in peace and dream
Dream a bunch of friends - rest in peace
And dream, dream it never ends"

 

 

"Phantom's Theme
(Beauty and the Beast)

Half asleep I
Hear a voice
Is it only in my mind ?
Or is it someone
Calling me
Someone I failed and left behind?

To Work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys
That I've been
All the devils that disturbed me
And The angels that defeated them somehow
Come together in me
Now

Face to face I greet the cast
Set in silence we
Begin
Companions in an empty room
I taste their victory
And sin

To work it out I let them in
All the good
Guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils
That disturbed me
And the angels that defeated them
Somehow
Come together in me now

A tale of beauty
And the beast
I defend my soul from those who would accuse me
I share the famine and the feast
I have been the
World and felt it turning
Seen the jester yearning to amuse
Me

Like a circus on parade
Seldom close enough to
See
I wander through an angry crowd
And wonder what
Became of me

To work it out I let them in
All the
Good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the
Devils that disturbed me
And the angels that defeated them
Somehow
Come together in me now"
