For My Lover )For My Lover

“What the fuck are you doing here?”

“I came to keep you company.”

“I don’t need your company!”

“Come on, Major. It’s such a lovely evening.”

“And it was such a quiet one. What is that?”

“Where?”

“Behind your back, moron.”

“Guitar.”

“Was?”

“Die Gitarre.”

“Don’t speak German!”

“I’ll sing for you then.”

“Nein!”

The Major slams the door right in front of Lord Gloria’s nose.

“Bloody wanker! What the fuck was he thinking—”

***

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover, for my lover

“He strikes me and hands us over to the Police?”[1]

Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover, for my lover

“They raised the rate.”
“I’ll lend you ten. There’s no rush to pay me back.[2]

And everybody thinks
That I’m the fool

“My idiot Lord!”[3]

But they don’t get
Any love from you

“It’s not fair! Why me?! Why didn’t he hit the Earl?”[4]

The things we won’t do for love

“Oh? And stealing the report? That was out of love too?”
“Oh, yes.”[5]

I’d climb a mountain if I had to

“Do you know who lives in that castle on top of that hill?”[6]

Risk my life so I could have you

“He was forced into the lake – car and all!"
"Get a fire going!"
"I must find the Major quickly – or else!”[7]

You, you, you...

“The man I love is a German N.A.T.O. agent.”[8]

Everyday I’m psychoanalyzed
For my lover, for my lover

“Suppose you were to see your loved one ‘disfigured’ so to speak. How would you feel then?”[9]

They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for, my lover

“Another step and I will shoot you between the eyes.”
“Ha, ha, ha. What are you trying to pull with an empty gun?”[10]

I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake

“Perhaps in this case, it is the deadliest of hate that becomes the deepest of love.”[11]

I follow my heart
And leave my mind to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make

“The Earl is still lying on the ground. Won’t someone go and help him?”[12]

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover for, my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for, my lover
Everyday I’m psychoanalyzed
For my lover for, my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for, my lover

“Give me your hand Major.”
“All right.”[13]

“Don’t you know any other songs, idiot?”

“You mind, Major?”

“Do you have to sit in the corridor and sing? Loudly?!”

“You wouldn’t let me in.”

“You’re an eternal embarrassment, fop.”

“Me or the song?”

“This one is fucking ridiculous.”

“I happen to like it.”

“I happen to not like it.”

“Sing along Major, please.”

“NO FUCKING WAY!”

The things we won’t do for love
I’d climb a mountain if I had to
And risk my life so I could have you
You, you, you...

“You do have a lovely baritone.”

“Shut up!”
