Eva And Magaldi-eva Beware Of The City lyrics

(Eva:)

 To think that a man as famous as you are

 Could love a poor little nothing like me

 

 Chorus:

 

 (Eva:)

 I wanna be a part of B.A.

 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

 

 (Magaldi:)

 Now Eva don't get carried away

 

 (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

 

 (Eva:)

 I wanna be a part of B.A.

 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:)

 Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!

 My father's other family were middle class

 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
