Che:] High flying, adored So young, the instant queen A rich beautiful thing, of all the talents A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint You were just a backstreet girl Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting High flying, adored Did you believe in your wildest moments All this would be yours That you'd become the lady of them all? Were there stars in your eyes When you crawled in at night From the bars, from the sidewalks From the gutter theatrical Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall High flying, adored What happens now, where do you go from here? For someone on top of the world The view is not exactly clear A shame you did it all at twenty-six There are no mysteries now Nothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you High flying, adored I hope you come to terms with boredom So famous so easily, so soon It's not the wisest thing to be You won't care if they love you It's been done before You'll despair if they hate you You'll be drained of all energy All the young who've made it would agree High flying, adored That's good to hear but unimportant My story's quite usual Local girl makes good, weds famous man I was stuck in the right place at the perfect time Filled a gap, I was lucky But one thing I'll say for me Noone else can fill it like I can

PERON Dice are rolling, the knives are out Would be presidents are all around I don't say they mean harm, but they'd each give an arm To see us six feet under ground EVA It doesn't matter what those morons say Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew There's only twenty of them anyway What is twenty next to millions who Are looking to you? All you have to do is sit and wait Keeping out of everybody's way We'll--you'll be handed power on a plate When the ones who matter have their say And with chaos installed You can reluctantly agree to be called PERON There again we could be foolish Not to quit while we're ahead For distance lends enchantment And that is why All exiles are distinguished More important they're not dead I could find job satisfaction In Paraguay EVA This is crazy defeatist talk Why commit political suicide? There's no risk, there's no call For any action at all When you have unions on your side WORKERS' VOICES Peron! Peron! CHE A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be denied! EVA There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals And your dreams He supports you for he loves you, understands you, Is one of you If not--how could he love me? MOB A new Argentina! The workers' battle song! A new Argentina! The voice of the people rings out loud and long! EVA Now I am a worker I've suffered the way that you do I've been unemployed and I've starved and I hated it too But I found my salvation in Peron--may the nation Let him save them as he saved me CHE A new Argentina! A new age about to begin! CHE and SECRET POLICE A new Argentina! We face the world together and no dissent within (The SECRET POLICE lay into CHE) INDIVIDUAL WORKERS Nationalization of the industries that the foreigners Control Participation in the profits that we make Shorter hours Higher wages Votes for women Larger dole More public spending A bigger slice of every cake PERON It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause The inconvenience--having to get a majority If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause There are other ways of establishing authority SECRET POLICE We have ways of making you vote for us, or at least of Making you abstain EVA Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow The descamisados are those he is marching with now! He supports you for he loves you, understands you, Is one of you If not--how could he love me? ALL A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be, and will not be, And must not be, denied! PERON There again we could be foolish Not to quit while we're ahead I can see me many miles away Inactive Sipping cocktails on a terrace Taking breakfast in bed Sleeping easy, doing crosswords It's attractive EVA Don't think I don't think like you, I often get those Nightmares too They always take some swallowing Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum if It's you that you are following Don't close doors Keep an escape clause Because we might lose The Big Apple But--would I have done, what I did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We would take the country? ALL A new Argentina! The chains of the masses untied! A new Argentina! The voice of the people cannot be, and will not be, And must not be, denied!

Pharaoh, he was a powerful man With the ancient world in the palm of his hand To all intents and purposes He was Egypt with a capital 'E' Whatever he did, he was showered with praise If he cracked a joke then you chortled for days No one had rights or a vote but the king In fact you might say he was fairly right wing When Pharaoh's around Then you get down on the ground If you ever find yourself near Ramesses Get down on your knees A Pharaoh story A Pharaoh story A Pharaoh story A Pharaoh story Down at the other end of the scale Joseph is still doing time in jail For even though he is in with the guards A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards But if my analysis of the position is right At the end of the tunnel there's a glimmer of light For all of a sudden, indescribable things Have shattered the sleep of both peasants and kings Strange as it seems There's been a run of crazy dreams And a man who can interpret could go far Could become a star (could be famous, could be a big success) (Could be famous, could be a big success) Strange as it seems There's been a run of crazy dreams And a man who can interpret could go far Could become a star (could be famous, could be a big success) (Could be famous, could be a big success) Strange as it seems There's been a run of crazy dreams And a man who can interpret Could go far Could become a star (could be famous, could be a big success) (Could be famous) Could be a star!

EVA Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be. We had it all You believed in me I believed in you Certainties disappear What do we do for our dream to survive How do we keep all our passions alive As we used to do? Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away You must love me You must love me Why are you at my side? How can I be any use to now? Give me a chance and I'll let you see how Nothing has changed. Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away You must love me You must love me You must love me You must love me
