歌曲歌詞
Nigel:
Nick just read it
I really think I'm on to something here
Nick:
I am reading
And where's the omelette
Nigel:
There is no omelette
Nick:
What do you mean there's no omelette
There has to be an omelette
It's called omelette
Ahh
Are you hearing yourself what
Nick are you hearing yourself yes
I can't believe we're having a conversation about a story
That has to be all about eggs so
Eggs yes
What is it with you and these eggs
You just have to trust me
I know what I'm doing
I think that you're out of your mind if you think that pursuing
That is a good thing
Well I do
Okay well I don't
Troupe member:
Read him this part it's beautiful
Nigel:
Doesn't matter he won't listen
Will:
I should really take these before this turns ugly
Troupe member:
Just read him what you wrote
Nick:
What the hell are they talking about
Spoken you asked me to write something well here it is
Sure as the day follows into night
Sure as the sky turns to blue
This much I know
This much is true
Above all else whatever you do
Nigel/troupe :
To thine own self be true
Nick:
That's it
Troupe:
It's beautiful
It's like good line and good advice
Will:
I don't know
I thought the whole breakfast theme was really strong
Everyone loves breakfast
Nick:
Exactly
But there's no danish there's no ham there's no breakfast at all
You're completely ignoring the theme
Nigel:
I'm ignoring the breakfast theme because it's ridiculous
Oh are you hearing yourself Nick
I said are you hearing yourself yes
I can't believe you're trying to change direction
Because you decided that my ideas are wrong please
I'm wrong
And this true to yourself thing is right
That's not just a line
It's what I believe
Then you are a fool and really naive
If you think it's as simple as that
Well I do
Okay well I don't
Nigel:
Ah this is hopeless
I don't know how to get through to you
Nick the fact that you think omelette is good
It worries me
Guys can you help me out here
Troupe member:
You really should listen to him nick
It just makes your heart wanna soar
Sure as the day follows into night
Sure as the sky turns to blue
This much I know
This much is true
Above all else whatever you do
To thine own self be true
Nick:
Want some truth
Here's the truth
Omelette will be known as perhaps the single greatest play ever written
Nigel:
How can you possibly know that
Nick:
I just do
Troupe:
So what do we do
Nick:
This will be talked about for generations to come
We need a hit
Not some audience repelling death play about your descent into madness
Nigel:
This descent into madness that's you
Nick
Whatever happened to the guy who inspired me to become a writer
Nick:
He finally has a great idea
Now we open in a week
Are you going to help me write omelette or not
Nigel:
No
Nick:
No
I can't
It doesn't feel right
And deep down I don't think it feels right to you either
I'll tell you what we do
We serve up what they're hungry for
Omelette the musical
We're on our way to glory
We'll play for kings and queens
And there and then they'll see the end will justify the means
The end will justify the means
Sure as the day follows the night
Surely we must see this through okay if you say so
Damned if I don't don't
Damned if I do do
Damn it I don't have the luxury to
Hang all my hope on some simplistic trope
Like to thine own self to thine own self
Be true
Troupe member:
Oh God I hope what he's saying is true
Please be true
Please be true
Please be true
