Guido's Song

歌詞

I would like to be here, I would like to be there I would like to everywhere at once I know that's a contradiction in terms And it's a problem, especially when My body's clearing forty as my mind is Nearing ten I can hardly stay up, and I can't get to sleep And I don't want to wake tomorrow morning At the bottom of some heap But why take it so seriously? After all, there's nothing at Stake here-only me I want to be young, and I want to be old I would like to be wise before my time And yet be foolish and brash and bold I would like the universe to get down on it's knees And say, "Guido, whatever you please, it's okay Even if it's impossible, we'll arrange it" That's all that I want I am lusting for more, should I settle for less? I ask you, what's a good thing for, if Not for taking it to excess? One limitation I dearly regret There's only one of me I've ever met I would like to have another me to Travel along with myself I would even like to be able to sing a Duet with myself I would like to be here sing along with myself in a song To be there walking down a lane now, everywhere Everywhere, everywhere That's a contradiction in terms I want to here with a counter Here melody in the Here top of the morning to you, guido Guido guido, guido guido Guido me, me me I want to be Proust or the Marquis De Sade I would like to be Christ, Mohammad, Buddha But not have to believe in God And you know I mean it with all of my heart It's the end if something important Doesn't start I want to be young, but I have to be old What I want is a tale of sound and fury That some idiot went and told I would like the universe to get down on it's knees And say, "Guido, whatever you please, it's okay Even if it's ridiculous, we'll arrange it" So arrange it Arrange it That's all that I want See what I mean
