00:09 I'd stand listening
00:15 I got a bright idea
00:14 Came six weeks ago
00:14 And in the elegant melancholy of twilight
00:14 Are you all right
00:19 The stage manager
00:13 Something's gone
00:17 Oh it's love
00:16 You're sopping wet
00:23 The dawn is breaking
00:13 God helps those who help themselves
00:16 Don't worry I can handle the old girl
00:11 I'll never dance again
00:06 Just the man I want to see
00:14 Sybil you really want to hurt me don't you You little...
00:18 You wonderful little plum pudding
00:21 What did you do
00:20 I'd despise myself if I thought that
00:10 I beg your pardon
00:24 As a man gets on in years he wants to live deeply
00:34 I don't know you
00:32 My ode to a worm
00:08 You have a leaking gas pipe
00:11 So this is how she spends her evenings
00:18 Believe it or not
00:11 Destiny must be a headwaitress
00:11 Destiny must be a headmistess
00:17 It's me Postant
00:21 In those days you were drunk
00:15 All the world's a stage
00:12 I never thought we'd come to this
00:26 The whole thing is false
00:18 It's more than pity
00:23 I shouldn't drink
00:21 You've joined the army
00:16 How's it feel to wake up famous
00:15 I finally have the chance to talk to you and I have nothing...
00:15 We're all grubbing for a living
00:14 The bee's behavior in the beehive is unbelievable
00:16 At this stage of the game life gets to be a habit
00:14 However the meaning of anything
00:22 Your mother was a dressmaker and your father a Lord
00:20 You've got to come back
00:17 We're just having a little beer Bach and Beethoven
00:27 What a sad business
00:25 A little more grown up
00:35 We'll have to get you well
00:15 Whoever you are
00:09 This is a wonderful evening
00:22 They walked out on me
00:36 I must see about that ambulance
00:15 Don't be afraid to tell
01:01 What is there to fight for
00:14 I'm through clowning
00:21 What a day
00:16 I believe I'm dying
00:10 The heart and the mind
00:12 Worms can't smile
00:08 Time is the great author
00:14 Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it
00:20 What do you want meaning for
00:07 That's all any of us are
00:11 There's something about working the streets I like
00:21 There's always that little home in the country
00:11 I knew she was no good
01:29 That's all that matters
01:00 I'm not so sure
00:53 You'd better not be
00:47 I know what you're thinking
00:30 A young girl like you wanting to throw your life away
00:14 I'm an old sinner
02:21 Everything
00:17 Gezundheidt
00:55 Won't it inconvenience you
00:14 Where is she
00:16 What can the stars do
00:19 Time is the best author
00:21 This has been a wonderful evening
00:41 Think of the power that's in the universe
