Eva and Magaldi / Eva Beware of the City

Eva:)

Could love a poor little nothing like me

To think that a man as famous as you are

Chorus:

I wanna be a part of B.A.

(Eva:)

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

(Eva's family:)

She wants to be a part of B.A.

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

(Che:)

Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi

I'd get out while you can

(Eva:)

It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started

I'm moving out with my man

Now Eva don't get carried away

(Magaldi:)

(Eva:)

Monotony past, suburbia departed

Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?

(Magaldi:)

Don't hear words that I didn't say

(Eva's family:)

What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?

(Magaldi:)

The girl I love?

What are you talking about?

(Eva's family:)

She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement

She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract

You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far

I wanna be a part of B.A.

(Eva:)

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Would I have done what I did

If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known

We would stay together

(Eva's brother:)

Seems to me there's no point in resisting

She's made up her mind, you've no choice

Why don't you be the man who discovered her

You'll never be remembered for your voice

(Magaldi:)

The city can be paradise for those who have the cash

The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash

The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash

If you were rich or middle class ...

(Eva:)

My father's other family were middle class

Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!

And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.

(Eva's brother:)

Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?

(Magaldi:)

Eva beware of the city

It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole

And those who are not become what they should not become

Changed, in short, they go bad.

(Eva:)

Bad is good for me

I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored

I've only been predictable, respectable

Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?

I only want variety, of society

(chorus)

(Magaldi:)

Five years from now I shall come back

And finally say, "You have your way, come to town."

But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes

The magical city, a younger girl's city

A fantasy long since put down

(Eva:)

All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?

I played your city games alright, didn't I?

I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks

I tasted it last night, didn't I?

I'm gonna be a part of B.A.

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

(Eva and family:)

She's gonna be a part of B.A.

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

(Magaldi:)

Eva beware your ambition

It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild

This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman

Not even a woman, not very much more than a child

And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
