Unless there’s love,
The world’s an empty place
And every town’s a lonely town.
—“Lonely Town” - On The Town
Unless there’s love,
Sometimes you have to take the initiative.
Sometimes your whole family dies of cholera.
Sometimes you have to make your own story.
Sometimes you have to shoot the story teller in the neck.
—I’m So That Guy from Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (via ohheyshowtunes)
99. But, Mr. Adams (1776) - William Daniels, Howard Da Silva, Rex Robbins, John Myhers and Ken Howard (my audio file is too big - so I found the track from the film to use instead)
“But, Mr. Adams,
I cannot write with any style
Or proper etiquette.
I don’t know a participle from a predicate.
I am just a simple cobbler
From Connecticut”“Mr. Jefferson,
Dear Mr. Jefferson,
I’m only forty-one,
I still have my virility.
And I can romp through Cupid’s grove
With great agility.
But life is more than
Sexual combustibility”(God, I love this musical! I really don’t think it gets enough respect.)
(via ohheyshowtunes)
Don’t you wanna be
The life of the party?
Don’t you wanna be
The top of the heap?
This is where the jamboree never ends
Why not be counting friends
Instead of counting sheep?
—The Life of the Party from The Wild Party (via ohheyshowtunes)
I’ve dreamed of allt he places I would take him, the games we’d play, the stories I would tell, the jokes we’d share, the clothing I would make him. I reach out, but as I do, he fades away.

- TIERNAN: I want to speak my heart out loud
- GRACE: Whe have to hide the things we feel
- TIERNAN: That I will love you till I die

- TIERNAN: If we can't say it to the crowd
- GRACE AND TIERNAN: We'll just declare it to the sky in front of every star in sight. We start our life here on this night
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind

Some girls make magazine covers,
Some girls keep house on a dime,
Some girls make wonderful lovers,
But what a lucky find I’m.
I’d make a magazine cover,
I do keep house on a dime,
I make a wonderful lover,
I should be paid overtime!ook
‘Cause I can bake, too, on top of the lot,
My oven’s the hottest you’ll find.

—Aquarius
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars“Aquarius” - Hair
You’re my best beau, you’re handsome and brave and strong,
There’s nothing we two can’t face;
If you’re with me, whatever comes,
We’ll see that trouble never comes.
And if someday another beau comes along
Determined to take your place,
I hope he’s resigned to falling behind,
My best beau.
—“Time Heals Everything” - Mack & Mabel
You can reach toward that place
Where the earth meets the sky
Fight a battle be brave, be true
If you can do it, why not I?
—“Woman” - The Pirate Queen
It’s not blood,
It’s a metaphor for love.
These aren’t veins,
Just the beating of my heart.
This fever isn’t real,
It represents how I feel.
My pain transformed into art.
—“Illness as Metaphor,” Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (via lostgospelsofphilip)
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You think you’d hear a choir singing
But it’s a quiet thing
—“A Quiet Thing” - Flora the Red Menace
And that’s why
I won’t let go til I’m on the radio
And when they come to see the sights
That will be my name spelt right
Lighting up Times Square
—“When I Get My Name in Lights” - The Boy From Oz
