The Sound of the Crowd

Song Styles

I believe in doing what I can

In crying when I must

In laughing when I choose

Hey ho, if love were all

I should be lonely.

Although when shadows fall

I think if only

Somebody splendid really needed me

Someone affectionate and dear

Cares would be ended if I knew that [she]

Wanted to have me near.

But I believe that since my life began

The most I’ve had is just a talent to amuse.

Hey ho, if love were all.

Hey ho, if love were all.

–Noel Coward, “If Love Were All.”

New life, new love

Where’s the heart I was dreaming of?

I need a new hope, new dream

Another part in a different scene

A new life, it’s so hard to find

A new love, it’s so hard to find

–Pet Shop Boys, “A New Life.”
