The Bitch Of Living (Original Broadway Cast Recording/2006)
John Gallagher, Jr.
2:53Awful sweet to be a little butterfly Just wingin' over things and nothin' deep inside Nothin' going, going wild in you, you know You're slowin' by the riverside, or floatin' high and blue Or maybe cool to be a little summer wind Like, once through everything and then away again With the taste of dust in your mouth all day But no need to know Like sadness, you just sail away 'Cause you know I don't do sadness Not even a little bit Just don't need it in my life Don't want any part of it I don't do sadness Hey, I've done my time Lookin' back on it all, man, it blows my mind I don't do sadness So been there Don't do sadness Just don't care Moritz Stiefel? Ilse? You frightened me What are you looking for? If only I knew Then what's the use of looking? I'm on the way home, want to come? I don't know God, you remember how we used to run back to my house and play pirates? Wendla Bergman, Melchior Gabor, you and I? Spring and summer Every other day Blue wind gets so sad Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Through the open books on the grass Spring and summer Sure, when it's autumn Wind always wants to Creep up and haunt you Whistlin', it's got you With its heartache, with its sorrow Winter wind sings and it cries Spring and summer Every other day Blue wind gets so pained Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Through the sudden drift of the rain Spring and summer Actually, I'd better go Walk as far as my house with me I wish I could Then why don't you? Eighty lines of Virgil, sixteen equations, a paper on the Habsburgs So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line Hang their things on me, and I will swing 'em dry You just wave in the sun through the afternoon and then see They come to set you free beneath the rising moon 'Cause you know Spring and summer I don't do sadness Every other day Not even a little bit (blue wind gets so lost) Just don't need it in my life (blowin' through the thick corn) (Through the bales of hay) don't want any part of it Spring and summer I don't do sadness Every other day Hey, I've done my time (blue wind gets so lost) Lookin' back on it all (Blowin' through the thick corn) and it blows my mind Through the bales of hay I don't do sadness (the wandering clouds of the dust) So been there Don't do sadness Spring and summer (just don't care)
