Testo La Vie Bohème - Anthony Rapp
Testo della canzone La Vie Bohème (Anthony Rapp), tratta dall'album Without You (A Musical Memoir)
That night, after rehearsal
I played through the rest of my songs
On the tape
Nothing of mine really jumped out at me
Until the end of the first act
When I got to lead the way
In a number called "La Vie Bohème"
To days of inspiration
Playing hooky, making something out of nothing
The need to express to communicate
To going against the grain
Going insane
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension
To starving for attention
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention, of course
Hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike midday
Past the three piece suits
To fruits!
To no absolutes
To Absolut, to choice
To the village voice
To any passing fad
To being an "us" for once
Instead of a "them!"
La vie Bohème!
After my opening verse
The rest of the company joined in
Throwing out lists of famous Bohemians
To Uta!
To Buddha!
Pablo Neruda, to
A party erupted out of my tiny boombox
I loved this line
"To faggots, lezzies, dykes! Crossdressers too!"
This was a musical?
You wouldn't hear that in Andrew Lloyd Webber!
Nor this
"To people living with
Living with
Living with
Not dying from disease!"
In 1994, this was a revolutionary idea
That it was possible to live a full life
In the face of AIDS or cancer
That being ill didn't mean being dead
"Let he among us
Without sin
Be the first
To condemn
La vie Bohème!"
The show wasn't perfect
But, our audiences loved it as much as we all did
And by the end of our ten-performance run
We were completely sold out
It looked like this show would have a future
But, for now
Just like that
It was over
