LIFT the Musical - She Meets Him / One Minute in a Lift Lyrics

(Performed by Jack Shalloo & Company)

BUSKER
SHE MEETS HIM EVERY MORNING,
THIRD CARRIAGE FROM THE FRONT,
NEAR THE EXIT.
SHE LOVES BACH, BUT HATES RAVEL.
SHE PLAYS GOLF,
SHE TAKES NOTES,
SHE HAS A HANDICAP OF FOUR,
OF EVERY SINGLE WORD HE UTTERS.
HE DOESN'T HAVE A FAVORITE COLOUR.
THIRD CARRIAGE FROM THE FRONT,
NEAR THE EXIT.
THEY HOPE TO BUMP INTO THE QUEEN!
HE DIDN'T WASH BEHIND HIS EARS
WHEN HE WAS A KID,
THIRD CARRIAGE FROM THE FRONT.

ALL
MUST HAVE SLEPT THROUGH A CYCLE.
CAN'T WAKE MYSELF,
CAN'T SEEM TO SHAKE OFF THIS FEELING
MY BODY STILL WANTS TO BE
WRAPPED UP IN HAPPINESS DREAMING.
WON'T LET GO OF MY DUVET,
CAN'T FACE THIS MORNING'S CHILL.

ANGEL
CAN'T GET RID OF A HARD ON.

BUSKER
DREAMT I HAD NO RESPONSIBILITIES,

ALL
I HAD NO BELONGINGS,
NO DEADLINES, NOWHERE TO BE.
MUST HAVE SLEPT THROUGH A CYCLE,
CAN'T WAKE MYSELF,
CAN'T SEEM TO SHAKE OFF THIS FEELING,

ANGEL
SHAKE OFF THIS HARD ON,

ALL
MY BODY STILL WANTS TO BE DREAMING.

FACING EDGWARE ROAD,

ALL
ONE MINUTE IN A LIFT.
ONE, MINUTE IN A LIFT.
WELL, ALMOST ONE MINUTE
IN A LIFT -
MORE LIKE FIFTY-FOUR
SECONDS IN A LIFT.
CLOSE 'N PERSONAL
WITH SOME STRANGERS,
AND ONLY ONE WAY OUT.
SILENTLY THERE'S NO ESCAPING
SO WE DREAM
ABOUT ONE MINUTE OF OUR LIVES,
DREAM
ABOUT ONE MINUTE OF OUR DAY.
GONE -
WELL FIFTY-FOUR SECONDS.

BUSKER
ONE MINUTE IN A DAY.
ONE MINUTE IN A LIFE.
I'M SPENDING ONE
MINUTE AT A TIME,
SINGING OTHER SONGS
LIVING OTHER LIVES.
