"Gustave! Gustave!..." Songtext

von Andrew Lloyd Webber

[Christine]
{*Singing}
Gustave?
[The Phanton]
What is it?
[Christine]
Gustave?
[The Phanton]
What's wrong?
[Christine]:
Gustave!
[The Phanton]
What's wrong?
[Christine]:
He should be here! He was meant to be here!
[The Phanton]
{*Singing}
It's that idiot Raoul!
Why, I'll kill that drunken fool
That he dare take this child-
A child that isn't his!
Mr. Squelch!
[Squelch]
Sir?
[The Phanton]
Seal the port,
Blockade each road!
Call in every favor that I'm owed!
I'll be damned if he leaves this isle!
[Squelch]
The recondition, he left here in a carriage.
Saw with my own eyes, sir.
There was no one with him.
[The Phanton]
Are you quite certain he left here alone?
[Squelch]
Sir, was there anyone else here backstage?
[The Phanton]
Yes.
Yes.
Madame Giry she was here
With her vicious little sneer,
And that comment she made-
That ungrateful, back-biting snake!
She's been greedy, yes indeed!
She'll get hers now guaranteed!
Go now quickly bring her round!
Bring the boy back safe and sound!
Then I'll tear her limb from limb!
[Madame Giry]
{*Spoken}
What is the meaning of this? How dare your minions man handle me in this fashion! I demand an answer!
[The Phanton]
The boy, woman! What have you done with him?
[Madame Giry]
The boy? You think I took the boy? Why would I do such a thing? You think I don't know who he is?
{*Singing}
All these years
Who has been faithful more than I?
No one!
[The Phanton]
Giry!
[Madame Giry]
All these years!
How could you think I'd hurt that child?
[The Phanton]
My patience is running dry!
[Madame Giry]
All these years
I've been mother to you and Christine
As much as my daughter!
[The Phanton]
Enough!
[Madame Giry]
Do you think I don't know how it hurts
To see were the child brought to harm?
[The Phanton]
Gustave! Gustave!
[Fleck]
Sir.
I just passed Meg's dressing room,
It was empty as a tomb,
But her mirror was smashed
All in pieces on the floor.
[The Phanton]
Meg.
[Madame Giry]
Oh my god.
[Fleck]
And I saw her down the hall
Pulling someone pale and small,
And she looked all about,
And then scurried out the door.
[Madame Giry]
God, I left her so distraught.
Please, who knows just what she thought!
I'm afraid she's come undone,
But she won't hurt him.
Meg would never hurt him.
How could she hurt him?
[The Phanton]
(Spoken)
I know where they've gone but we must hurry!
[Madame Giry]
In that crowd? There are millions of people out there!
[Christine]:
Gustave! My poor Gustave!
[The Phanton]
There's no time to waste!
[Christine]:
Gustave!
Gustave! Gustave!
[The Phanton]
You there! Stop!
[Christine]
That's not him!
[Madame Giry]
Meg!
[The Phanton]
I think I see them!
[Christine]
Gustave! Is that- I'm so sorry
[Madame Giry]
Meg! Please!
[Christine]
It's okay.
[The Phanton]
To the pier! Now! Hurry!
