You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two - Oliver! Ensemble, Georgia Brown & Alice Playten

You've got her in your pocket And there's no way out now Put it in the safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way And you'll be there if she ever feels blue And you'll be there when she finds someone new What to do Well you know You keep her in your pocket Where there's no way out now Put it in a safe a lock it 'cause it's home sweet home The smile on your face made her think she had the right one And she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun But now she might leave like she's threatened before Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor And she's out the door Cause you want to keep her in your pocket Where there's no way out now Put it in a safe and lock it cause it's home sweet home And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her But now you're scared, you think she's running away You search in your hand for something clever to say Don't go away Cause I want to keep you in my pocket where there's no way out now Put it in a safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home Home sweet home

Have you still got the illusion Of what's lying ahead Then you'd still have your innocence And days wouldn't seem so bad But i've always wondered Why you've never grown But now I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own You gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing Storms always make you happy But they hide everything inside Make believe that they're soft to touch Then they blind you with their light That has always made me wonder Why you've never grown But now, I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own Yes you gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing I know what you're needing Yes I do But i've always wondered Why you've never grown And now I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own Yes, you gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing Oh that's what you're needing yeh (Take a little time for yourself) Oh take a little time (Live a little life on your own) Oh live a little life (Take a little time for yourself) Oh that's what you're needing Oh that's what you're needing You gotta take a little time, yeh Oh live a little life That's what you're needing

Tell me something I don't know Will you tell me where I'll go? But no I won't let you know which way I will turn You've got to learn I don't mind standing where I am I don't mind being who I am Don't you hear my words all around the world? Which way we all turn You've got to learn People always talking shit like they have found the key To some kind of revelation But I'll stick to my cigarettes and hope that they just quit 'Cause they don't get our situation Please show me what's behind the door Is it something I've been looking for? No no I'm just walking slow Things will never turn You've got to learn People always talking shit like they have found the key To some kind of revelation But I'll stick to my cigarettes and hope that they just quit 'Cause they don't get our situation No no I'm just walking slow Things will never turn You've got to learn You've got to learn You've got to learn You've got to learn

This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died It's easy, it's easy All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start It's easy, It's easy Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away It's easy, it's easy as life But then I see the faces of a worn, defeated people A father and a nation who won't let a coward run Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages? Forcing us to prove the hardest things we've done Are easy So easy And though I'll think about him 'til the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love This is no denial, no betrayal but redemption Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above It's easy It's easy as life It's easy as life It's easy as life

Good luck on your first job, Oliver, my dear I shall be waiting for you here when you come back You can go, but be back soon You can go, but while you're working This place, I'm pacing round Until you're home, safe and sound Fare thee well, but be back soon Who can tell, where danger's lurking? Do not forget this tune Be back soon How could we forget How could we let Our dear old Fagin worry? We love him so We'll come back home In, oh, such a great big hurry It's him that plays the piper It's us that pipes his tune So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon You can go, but be back soon You can go, but bring back plenty Of pocket handkerchiefs And you should be clever thieves Whip it quick, and be back soon There's a sixpence here for 20 Ain't that a lovely tune? Be back soon Our pockets will hold A watch of gold That chimes upon the hour A wallet fat An old man's hat The crown jewels from the tower We know the Bow Street Runners But they don't know this tune So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon Cheerio, but be back soon I don't know, somehow I'll miss you I love you, that why I Say, "Cheerio" Not goodbye Don't be gone long, be back soon Give me one long last look, bless you Remember our old tune Be back soon! We must disappear We'll be back here Today, perhaps tomorrow We'll miss you too It's sad but true That parting is such sweet sorrow And when we're in the distance You'll hear this whispered tune So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon Cheerio, but be back soon I don't know, somehow I'll miss you I love you, that why I Say, "Cheerio" Not goodbye Don't be gone long, be back soon Give me one long last look, bless you Remember our old tune Be back soon! And when we're in the distance You'll hear this whispered tune So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon So long, fare thee well Pip! Pip! Cheerio! We'll be back soon Tada, Fagin Dodger? Yep If you happen to pass the town of London Have a look at the crown jewels, won't you, boy? Alright, tada

Dear Georgia I couldn't make my way to California I just needed something a little closer than too far Just a county line apart We're wishing on the same old small-town stars And I'm sorry If I ever turned my back on anybody Wasn't worth it looking back on all the parties that I've been And all the places that I went So, I wrote this song for you and all my friends, yeah Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Dear Georgia Well, I miss ya Yeah, I'm rollin' right through nowhere West Virginia And I keep thinking about you lately And I meant to tell you how much I wish I was there right now Close my eyes and see the pines that lead me on my way back south Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee No matter where I go, you'll always be Oh, ain't nothing but one interstate road From anywhere we wanna call home And right now, it's Tennessee But no matter where I go, you'll always be My dear Georgia Dear Georgia
