High flying, adored So young, the instant queen A rich beautiful thing, of all the talents A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint You were just a backstreet girl Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting High flying, adored Did you believe in your wildest moments All this would be yours That you'd become the lady of them all? Were there stars in your eyes When you crawled in at night From the bars, from the sidewalks From the gutter theatrical Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall High flying, adored What happens now, where do you go from here? For someone on top of the world The view is not exactly clear A shame you did it all at twenty-six There are no mysteries now Nothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you High flying, adored I hope you come to terms with boredom So famous so easily, so soon It's not the wisest thing to be You won't care if they love you It's been done before You'll despair if they hate you You'll be drained of all energy All the young who've made it would agree High flying, adored That's good to hear but unimportant My story's quite usual Local girl makes good, weds famous man I was stuck in the right place at the perfect time Filled a gap, I was lucky But one thing I'll say for me Noone else can fill it like I can

We got together to turn the world around Searchin' within us to find a new sound. We climb high up to the sky We don't wait and see It's not a lie that we try to find the key. You and I flyin' high We climb high High up to the sky. You and I flyin' high Once in a while we should try flyin' high. We got together to turn from the ground Searchin' for things nobody found. We're working hard to climb up the wall And we can't wait and see 'Cause after all we could fall and not see the key. You and I flyin' high We climb high High up to the sky. . . . Movin' together we feel the same Time isn't wasted playin' the game. All the high feelin' isn't a fame You're flyin' high We hope in our name Once in a while we all Should try flyin' high. You and I flyin' high - Yes We're gonna make it - We climb high High up to the sky - Yeah Up to the sky - You and I flyin' high - Yes We're gonna make it - Once in a while we should Try flyin' high. You and I flyin' high We climb high High up to the sky. . . .

Tell me before I waltz out of your life Before turning my back on the past Forgive my impertinent behavior But how long do you think this pantomime can last? Tell me before I ride off in the sunset There's one thing I never got clear How can you claim you're our savior When those who oppose you are stepped on, or cut up Or simply disappear? Tell me before you get onto your bus Before joining the forgotten brigade How can one person, like me, say Alter the time-honored way the game is played? Tell me before you get onto your high horse Just what you expect me to do? I don't care what the bourgeoisie say I'm not in business for them But to give all my descamisado's A magical moment or two There is evil ever around Fundamental system of government Quite incidental So what are my chances of honest advances? I'd say low Better to win by admitting my sin Than to lose with a halo Tell me before I seek worthier pastures And thereby restore self-esteem How can you be so short-sighted To look never further than this week or next week To have no impossible dream? Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines And mark your adieu with three cheers But first, tell me who'd be delighted If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems From war to pollution, no hope of solution Even If I lived for one hundred years There is evil ever around Fundamental system of government Quite incidental So go, if you're able To somewhere unstable and stay there! Whip up your hate in some tattering state But not here, dear Is that clear, dear? Ohh, what I'd give for a hundred years But the physical interferes Every day more Oh, my creator What is the good Of the strongest heart In a body that's falling apart? A serious flaw I hope you know that

Oh what a circus, oh what a show Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Perón We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit, that's how to go When they're ringing your curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Perón It's quite a sunset and good for the country in a roundabout way We've made the front page of all the world's papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments, she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying: Eva Perón But that's all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We're all gonna see and how she did nothing for years Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia You let down your people, Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted, not much to ask for But in the end, you could not deliver Sing, you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since 17 October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamor's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government, we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help, we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud Sing, you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Péron (Ad te) ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia Don't cry for me, Argentina For I am ordinary, unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are, I think we all are So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin It's our funeral, too
