Requiem For Evita Oh What A Circus
Various Artists Crowd: Requiem aeternum dona Evita Requiem Evita Evita Evita Che: Oh what a circus! Oh what a show! Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We've all gone crazy Mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit! That's how to go! When they're ringing you curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Peron It's quite a sunset And good for the country in a roundabout way We've made the front page in all the world's papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" But that's all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We're all going to see how she did nothing for years! Crowd: Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia Che: You let down your people Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted But in the end toy could not deliver Not much to ask for Sing you fools! But you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because youu haven't got long Your queen is dead, you king is through She's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since 17 October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamours worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of a goverment we had a stage Instead of ideas a primma donna's rage Instead of help we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud |
