Quando
I wander the streets of Madrid again
Searching
Searching the town
Through and through
I feel desperate
I feel sweaty and frustrated and thirsty
I am spilling my guts out
To young Ellie
Yes
My heart and soul
My guts
My sweat
My dirt
All spilled out for young Ellie
Where could she be?
I know
I fantasize
She's in the arms of Colonel Richman
Yes
She has chosen his riches
His riches in bangles and jewels
Over my passionate love for her
Young supple body
Yes
Young Ellie
I feel as a suckling pig
Searching for you
I go now off into the night
Quando
Señor Paley
En garde
Colonel Richman
This is an ambush
Señor Paley
I have my horses
I have Sgt. Garcia and Sgt. Corndough
They're all waiting for you
I care not about these bozos
I am just a suckling pig
Where is Ellie?
You are a suckling pig?
I am hungry senor Paley
???
I do not say it's fair
But certain things happen when I hear the dinner bell ring
And I hear talk of suckling pigs
??? Maybe vouchsafed in favour of
Now I make my escape
Escape?
No no, please don't escape
No do not escape
Quando
The angels are whispering to Ellie now
She must make a big decision
Between the fat disgusting Colonel Richman
And the scrofulous late foul smelling Andy Paley
Paley ???
Colonel Richman ???
And Andy Paley ???
Ellie speaks
Shit
There should be no question in your mind young Ellie
Look at these hands
Feel this heart beating through my chest
Feel the sweat from my brow
Smell the aroma
Ellie
This is Colonel Richman here
I am not a working man
I cannot offer you stink
I can only offer you worthless bobbles and ???
I must admit it doesn't seem like a very appealing choice
If I were you I must admit that I would not choose either of my disgusting self
Or the fowl señor Paley now
Don't forget I may be untrustworthy
And a total liar
But he stinks
Quando
Ellie
Ellie
Observe what is before you now
Observe the dramatic moment in these two men's lives
Like you decide their fate
With your own heart
Look what he's about to do
He's already faking suicide
He might even do the real thing
If you don't say something quick
Now listen, what do you say?
[[I think she says she picks both of them]]
Thank you thank you
They're great
Bring back the Quando players
