HOW ONE WAS KEPT AND ONE GIVEN AWAY?
AN' DID YOU NEVER HEAR HOW THE JOHNSTONES DIED,

2.MARILYN MONROE
MRS JOHNSTONE
ONCE I HAD A HUSBAND
YOU KNOW THE SORT OF CHAP,
I MET HIM AT A DANCE
AND HOW HE CAME ON WITH THE CHAT
TEDDY BOY
Y' DANCIN'. I THINK YOU'RE A BLEEDIN' CRACKER.
MRS JOHNSTONE
HE SAID MY EYES WERE DEEP BLUE POOLS
MY SKIN AS SOFT AS SNOW
TEDDY BOY
LOVELY.
MRS JOHNSTONE
HE TOLD ME I WAS SEXIER THAN MARILYN MONROE
AND WE WENT DANCING
WE WENT DANCING.
THEN, OF COURSE, I FOUND
THAT I WAS SIX WEEKS OVERDUE.
TEDDY BOY

MRS JOHNSTONE

GUESTS
AND WE WENT DANCING,

MRS JOHNSTONE

TEDDY BOY
DARREN WAYNE.
MRS JOHNSTONE

TEDDY BOY
I MARRIED A BLEEDIN' RABBIT.
MRS JOHNSTONE
AN' THOUGH I STILL FANCIED DANCING
MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T GO.
TEDDY BOY
GET LOST WILL Y'.
MRS JOHNSTONE
WITH A WIFE HE SAID WAS TWICE THE SIZE OF MARILYN MONROE
NO MORE DANCING
NO MORE DANCING.

WITH SEVEN HUNGRY MOUTHS TO FEED
AND ONE MORE NEARLY DUE
ME HUSBAND, HE WALKED OUT ON ME
A MONTH OR TWO AGO
TEDDY BOY
TA-RA.
MRS JOHNSTONE
FOR A GIRL THEY SAY WHO LOOKS A BIT LIKE MARILYN MONROE
AND THEY GO DANCING
THEY GO DANCING
YES, THEY GO DANCING
THEY GO DANCING.
3.MY CHILD
MRS LYONS
HELLO, MRS J. HOW ARE YOU?
MRS J.? ANYTHING WRONG?
MRS JOHNSTONE
I HAD IT ALL WORKED OUT.
WITH ONE MORE BABY WE COULD HAVE MANAGED.
BUT NOT WITH TWO, THE WELFARE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON TO ME.
MRS LYONS
TWINS? YOU'RE EXPECTING TWINS?
NARRATOR
HOW QUICKLY AN IDEA, PLANTED, CAN
TAKE ROOT AND GROW INTO A PLAN.
THE THOUGHT CONCEIVED IN THIS VERY ROOM
GREW AS SURELY AS A SEED, IN A MOTHER'S WOMB
MRS LYONS
GIVE ONE OF THEM TO ME.
PLEASE, MRS JOHNSTONE. PLEASE.
MRS JOHNSTONE
ARE Y'.... ARE Y' THAT DESPERATE TO HAVE A BABY?
MRS LYONS
EACH DAY I LOOK OUT FROM THIS WINDOW
I SEE HIM WITH HIS FRIENDS, I HEAR HIM CALL,
I RUSH DOWN BUT AS I FOLD MY ARMS AROUND HIM
HE'S GONE. WAS HE EVER THERE AT ALL?
I'VE DREAMED OF ALL THE 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.
MRS JOHNSTONE
IF MY CHILD WAS RAISED I A PALACE LIKE THIS ONE
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY WHERE
HIS NEXT MEAL WAS COMIN' FROM
HIS CLOTHING WOULD BE
SUPPLIED BY GEORGE HENRY LEE
MRS LYONS
HE'D HAVE ALL HIS OWN TOYS
AND A GARDEN TO PLAY IN
MRS JOHNSTONE
HE COULD MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
WITHOUT THE NEIGHBOURS COMPLAININ'
MRS LYONS
SILVER TRAYS TO TAKE MEALS ON
MRS JOHNSTONE
A BIKE WITH BOTH WHEELS ON?
MRS LYONS
AND HE'D SLEEP EVERY NIGHT
IN A BED OF HIS OWN
MRS JOHNSTONE
HE WOULDN'T GET INTO FIGHTS
HE'D LEAVE MATCHES ALONE
AND YOU'D NEVER FIND HIM
EFFIN' AND BLINDIN'
AND WHEN HE GREW UP
HE COULD NEVER BE TOLD
TO STAND AND QUEUE UP
FOR HOURS ON END AT THE DOLE
HE'D GROW UP TO BE
MRS LYONS / MRS JOHNSTONE
A CREDIT TO ME
MRS JOHNSTONE
TO YOU?
MRS LYONS
YES.
MRS JOHNSTONE
I WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM EVERY DAY,
WOULDN'T I?
MRS LYONS
OF COURSE
MRS JOHNSTONE
AN'.... AN' YOU WOULD LOOK AFTER HIM,
WOULDN'T Y'?
MRS LYONS
I'D KEEP HIM WARM IN THE WINTER
AND COOL WHEN IT SHINES
I'D PULL OUT HIS SPLINTERS
WITHOUT MAKING HIM CRY
I'D ALWAYS BE THERE
IF HIS DREAM BECAME A NIGHTMARE
MRS JOHNSTONE & MRS LYONS
MY CHILD
MY CHILD
MY CHILD
MRS LYONS
MRS J. WE MUST MAKE THIS A BINDING AGREEMENT.
NARRATOR

5.SHOES UPON THE TABLE
NARRATOR
HOW SWIFTLY THOSE WHO'VE MADE A PACT,
CAN COME TO OVERLOOK THE FACT
OR WISH THE RECKONING BE DELAYED
BUT A DEBT IS A DEBT, AND MUST BE PAID.
MRS LYONS
YOU DO KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT TWINS,
SECRETLY PARTED, DON'T YOU?
MRS JOHNSTONE
WHAT? WHAT?
MRS LYONS
THEY SAY THAT IF EITHER TWIN LEARNS THAT HE WAS
ONE OF A PAIR, THEY SHALL BOTH IMMEDIATELY DIE.

EXISTENCE THEY SHALL BE RAISED APART AND
NEVER, EVER TOLD WHAT WAS ONCE THE TRUTH. YOU
WON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS, MRS JOHNSTONE.
BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU WILL KILL THEM

14.SUMMER SEQUENCE
NARRATOR
THERE'S A FEW BOB IN YOUR POCKET
AND YOU'VE GOT GOOD FRIENDS,
AND IT SEEMS THAT SUMMER'S NEVER COMING TO AN END
YOUNG, FREE AND INNOCENT, YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CARE,
APART FROM DECIDIN' ON THE CLOTHES YOU'RE GONNA WEAR.
THE STREET'S TURNED INTO PARADISE,
THE RADIO'S SINGING DREAMS
YOU'RE INNOCENT, IMMORTAL, YOU'RE JUST FIFTEEN.
AND WHO'D DARE TELL THE LAMBS IN SPRING
WHAT FATE THE LATER SEASONS BRING
WHO'D TELL THE GIRL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAIR
THE PRICE SHE'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR JUST BEING THERE.
BUT LEAVE THEM ALONE, LET THEM GO AND PLAY
THEY CARE NOT FOR WHAT'S AT THE END OF THE DAY
FOR WHAT IS TO COME, FOR WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
LIFE HAS NO ENDING WHEN YOU'RE SWEET SIXTEEN
AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE WITH YOU TO TALK AWAY THE NIGHT
OR UNTIL MRS WONG SWITCHES OFF THE CHIPPY LIGHT
THEN THERE'S ALWAYS THE CORNER
AND THE STREET LAMP'S GLARE
AN' ANOTHER HOUR TO SPEND, WITH YOUR FRIENDS, WITH HER,
TO SHARE YOUR LAST CIGARETTE AND YOUR SECRET DREAM
AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR...
... AT SEVENTEEN
IT'S JUST ANOTHER FERRY BOAT, A TRIP TO THE BEACH
BUT EVERYTHING'S POSSIBLE,
THE WORLD'S WITHIN YOUR REACH
AN' YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE BROKEN BOTTLES IN THE SAND
THE OIL IN THE WATER AND YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND
HOW LIVING COULD BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DREAM
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG, FREE AND INNOCENT...
... AND JUST EIGHTEEN.
AND ONLY IF THE THREE OF THEM COULD STAY LIKE THAT FOREVER,
AND ONLY IF WE COULD PREDICT NO CHANGES IN THE WEATHER
AND ONLY IF WE DIDN'T LIVE IN LIFE, AS WELL AS DREAMS
AND ONLY IF WE COULD STOP AND BE FOREVER,
JUST EIGHTEEN.
15.I'M NOT SAYING A WORD
EDWARD
IF I COULD STAND INSIDE HIS SHOES I'D SAY
HOW CAN I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER'S DAY
LINDA
OH GO AWAY..
EDWARD
I'D TAKE A PAGE IN ALL THE PAPERS
I'D ANNOUNCE IT IN THE NEWS
IF IT WAS THE GUY, IF I WAS IN HIS SHOES
LINDA
I'M NOT WITH YOU.
EDWARD
IF I WAS HIM I'D BRING YOU FLOWERS
AND ASK YOU TO DANCE
WE'D WHILE AWAY THE HOURS MAKING
FUTURE PLANS
FOR RAINY DAYS IN COUNTRY LANES
AND TRIPS TO THE SEA
I'D JUST TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU
IF IT WAS ME
BUT I'M NOT SAYING A WORD,
I'M NOT SAYING I CARE,
THOUGH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M NOT SAYING A WORD,
I'M NOT SAYING I CARE,
THOUGH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW
IF I WAS HIM I'D HAVE TO TELL YOU
WHAT I'VE KEPT IN MY HEART
THAT EVEN IF WE HAD TO LIVE
SOME WORLDS APART
THERE WOULD NOT BEADAY
IN WHICH I'D NOT THINK OF YOU
IF I WAS HIM, IF I WAS HIM
THAT'S WHAT I DO
BUT I'M NOT SAYING A WORD
I'M NOT SAYING I CARE
THOUGH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M NOT SAYING A WORD
I'M NOT SAYING I CARE
THOUGH I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW
EDWARD
BUT I'M NOT.

THE JURY FOUND HIM GUILTY
SENT HIM DOWN FOR SEVEN YEARS
THOUGH HE ACTED LIKE THEY GAVE HIM LIFE,
HE COULDN'T STOP THE TEARS.
AND WHEN WE WENT TO VISIT HIM
HE DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW,

CAN'T STOP DANCING
THEY SHOWED HIM TO A DOCTOR
AND AFTER ROUTINE TEST
A PRESCRIPTION NOTE THE DOCTOR WROTE
FOR THE CHRONICALLY DEPRESSED.

NARRATOR
THERE'S A GIRL INSIDE THE WOMAN
WHO'S WAITING TO GET FREE
SHE'S WASHED A MILLION DISHES
SHE'S ALWAYS MAKING TEA
THEY THINK SHE'S JUST A MOTHER
WITH NOTHING LEFT INSIDE

THE DAY SHE WAS A BRIDE

AND DUST THEM OFF ONE DAY

WHO CAN EXPLAIN?
THEY JUST SAID "HELLO"
AND FOOLISHLY GAZED
THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE
THEIR SEPARATE WAYS
IT'S JUST THE SAME OLD SONG
NOTHING CRUEL, NOTHING WRONG

WHO KNOW THE RULES
BUT BREAK THEM ALL
AND GRASP AT HALF A CHANCE
TO PLAY THEIR PART
IN A LIGHT ROMANCE
LIVING ON THE NEVER NEVER,
CONSTANT AS THE CHANGING WEATHER,
NEVER SURE
WHO'S AS THE DOOR,
OR THE PRICE
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY
MRS JOHNSTONE
IT'S JUST A SECRET GLANCE
ACROSS A ROOM
A TOUCH OF HANDS
THAT PART TOO SOON
THAT SAME OLD TUNE
THAT ALWAYS PLAYS
AND LETS THEM DANCE AS FRIENDS
THEN STAND APART
AS THE MUSIC ENDS
LOVING ON THE NEVER NEVER
CONSTANT AS THE CHANGING WEATHER
NEVER SURE
WHO'S AT THE DOOR
OR THE PRICE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY
