paroles de chanson Devil Take The Hindmost - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Miss Giry, I'm not afraid of him
I've bested him before
And if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to man

No, no it can't be
Not afraid of me, you say?
Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you!
Of course

As you say, you've beaten me before
But that was a long time ago, Vicomte
And we were playing a different game

Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk, pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take the hindmost

Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous, horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost

Our Christine shall choose tonight
Let her choose (Is she yours or mine?)
Draw the line
If she sings you lose tonight (I won't lose)

You leave from here
Fine!
Disappear
Fine! And if she won't?
If I win?

All your debts wiped away
Very well, let's begin
Devil take the hindmost

Our old game (You think you have the odds)
It's been changed (You think you're in control)
Every throw (You think you've fixed the dice)
Riskier (Well, I will gladly roll)

All the rules (I'll bet against the house)
Rearranged (I'll even double down)
Fate has redesigned most (Fortune's on my side)

Cut the deck (I won her long ago)
Let us play (I won her from you then)
You and I (I wager even now)
Once again (I'll win her back again)

In the end (And when the game is done!)
Either way!
Devil take the hindmost!

Now Christine shall choose at last
Is she yours or mine?
We've a son, our bond's secure
Are you sure?

What?
Are you so sure?
What do you mean?
Such a child, strange to see
Different, musical

Huh?
Is he more you or me?
Which one do you find most?
You lie

Deal the cards (I call your bluff)
Let them fall (The game is on)
Choose your hand (And we will see)
Try your best (Who wins out)
He who wins (Once and for all)
Wins it all!
Devil take the hindmost!

Deal the cards! (I call your bluff)
Let them fall (The game is on)
Choose your hand (And we will see)
Try your best (Who wins out)
He who wins (Once and for all)
Wins it all
Devil take the hindmost!

She walks, you leave together
Pockets full, debts paid
She sings, you leave alone
Devil take the hindmost

Oh, God
What have I done?
Look at me
The concert's only hours away
