No Good Can Come From Bad
Various Artists Neville Landless: Sir I don't much like your tone, That supercilious sneer you wear True you wear a finer cut than mine Ah, but a waistcoat worn can soon be torn And faggots too till maggots feed on you Rosa Budd: Something in this speech seems ominous to me Helena Landless: Twin, don't over reach, pray promise this to me Rev. Crisparkle: Praise to Him divine, for this we should be glad John Jasper: Won't you try some wine? All: No good can come from bad! Landless as you are and known Your blood is hot, but less than pure Edwin Drood Less I'm sure you'd be Of some half caste runs through your veins Your history would indicate the past your crudeness thus explains Rosa Budd: Something sends a chill like feet upon my grave Helena Landless Can my strength and will completely Neville save Rev. Crisparkle: Could these words they say bring harm upon the lad? John Jasper: Night must follow day All: No good can come from bad! Neville and Drood: With daggers drawn I glare at you Glances cut like blade through bone There at you who'd dare presume To stare at whom I'd make my wife And share my life I'd see you dead before sweet Rosa wed! Helena Landless: Fate waits near I feel it, I fear it Hearing Neville's therat We are friends and yet They'll not soon forget Every epithet Rev. Crisparkle: In younger days I hungered for another Rosa'a mother! After Rosa's birth, she left this earth Now dust is all I'm worth So long a time Rosa Budd: They've thought That I'm a Dresden doll Quite naive But I can see these boys, this noise More frightning than they might perceive. All: sing their songs at same time All: With these new additions that have been revealed Murderous admitions otherwise concealed Neville and Drood: Fie on you I curse, full warning you have had!
