Brooke Maxwell & Jacob Richmond - Noel’s Lament
NOEL:
In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell in Uranium City, Saskatchewan. But in my dreams I played a different role. I was Monique
Chabot
in post-war France!
A HOOKER WITH A HEART OF BLACK CHARCOAL
I WRITE POEMS TO BURN BY FIRELIGHT
DRINK CHAMPAGNE AND GUZZLE GIN
THE GIRLS CALL ME "
THE TOWN BICYCLE"
DON'T KNOCK IT 'TIL YOU'VE TRIED MY LIFE OF SIN
OH, CLAUDE, MY PIMP, KNOWS NEVER MESS WITH ME
LAST
JERK
DID THAT FADED QUICK TO BLACK
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO FIND HIM, OFFICERS
BUT IF YOU DO, PLEASE MENTION THAT I'D
LIKE TO HAVE RETURNED THE PRETTY KNIFE
THAT I STUCK TEN TIMES IN HIS BACK!
[Sips, swallows.]
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
NOEL AND CHOIR:
A
WORLD
OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
I WANT TO BE THAT MESSED UP GIRL
[Instrumental]
NOEL:
HE SAID, "I THINK I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU"
I'VE HEARD THAT LIE A MILLION TIMES BEFORE
OH, TONIGHT I GIVE IN TO THE FANTASY
TAKE LOVE WHEN YOU CAN, WHEN YOU'RE A
WHORE
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
A
WORLD
OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
I WANT TO BE THAT MESSED UP GIRL
SO NOW I SELL MY LOVE FOR OPIUM
IN SOME RAT-INFESTED CHINESE DIVE
AT NIGHT I BURN MYSELF WITH CIGARETTES
JUST TO SOMEHOW PROVE I'M STILL ALIVE
EIGHT MONTHS LATER I CATCH
TYPHOID FLU
KICKED OUT, I SEE THE UGLY LIGHT OF DAY
DYING IN AN ALLEY, A PRIEST KNEELS DOWN TO ME-
RICKY (as priest, in French accent):
"My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?"
NOEL (as Monique, in French accent):
"Oui. Tell Him that, like Him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!"
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER-ENDING CARNIVAL
A
WORLD
OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
FOR I SING SONGS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
I EMBRACE A NEW MAN EVERY NIGHT
MY LIFE'S ONE NEVER ENDING CARNIVAL
A WORLD OF BOOZY-FLOOZY FLASHING LIGHT
I WANT TO BE THAT MESSED UP GIRL
I WANNA BE THAT MESSED UP
GIRL...
OCEAN/CONSTANCE:
BROKEN HEART, A FLASK OF GIN
TATTOOED WITH A SAFETY PIN
TEETH ALL STAINED WITH NICOTINE
RUNNING NYLONS, SHATTERED DREAMS
SUPER CRUSTY HOLED MATERIAL
WILD EYES AND BLACK MASCARA
BROKEN HEART, A FLASK OF GIN
TATTOOED WITH A SAFETY PIN
TEETH ALL STAINED WITH NICOTINE
RUNNING NYLONS, SHATTERED DREAMS
SUPER CRUSTY HOLED MATERIAL
WILD EYES AND BLACK MASCARA
NOEL:
IF I COULD HAVE JUST ONE DREAM...
OCEAN/CONSTANCE:
IF HE COULD HAVE JUST ONE DREAM..!
NOEL:
I'D BE THAT MESSED UP GIRL!
