Threepenny Opera
Does anyone know where I might possibly be able to find selections or downloads from the 1994 Threepenny Opera recording featuring Tom Hollander? I'm a wee bit curious as to what he sounds like when he sings...
shareI did this one myself by listening to it over and over...one of these days, I want to transcribe the whole thing.
A voice is calling to you from the tomb
A cry of agony, a cry of rage
A muffled scream inside a padded room
A wounded animal inside a cage
The empty heavens will not hear my prayer
For where is God within a prison cell?
So, if my misery goes anywhere, it will be suck into the vaults of Hell
And I am innocent of any crime that should be punished til the end of time
You must be flung into a stinking hole
You must be pulled apart and put in chains
Before you see the damage to your soul
Before you see the little that remains
For, it is worse; a man is but a thing
I am not ashamed to grovel and to cry
So, I am begging you to ask the king
How can I live if Im condemned to die?
Do I deserve to perish in my prime?
To be punished til the end of time?
