뮤지컬 지킬 앤 하이드 넘버 중에 가장 좋아하는 노래.
한국판 뮤지컬에서는 이 노래 대신에 'Bring on the men(남자를 유혹해)'가 들어갔다.
뒷골목 창녀인 루시가 클럽에서 공연하며 부르는 노래.
'지킬과 하이드'의 영원한 주제인 '선과 악'에 대해 부르는 노래이다.
사실 선과 악은 동전의 양면과도 같은 존재가 아닐까.
빛이 있으면 그림자가 있을 수 밖에 없듯이.
해석은 죄송. =_=;
[LUCY]
Good and evil -
And their merits -
Men have argued through history -
As well they should!
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
And therefore
All evil is good"
How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil"s the one that is free everywhere -
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven -
Which is hell!
Good maintain evil"s a curse! -
But it is plain good"s even worse!
Evil"s the one that they tell you to shun -
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!
The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start -
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good "n" evil -
Each man has to choose! -
Heaven "n" hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! -
But as I peruse
This world we abuse -
It"s hell that we choose -
And heaven must lose!
Evil is everywhere -
Good doesn"t have a prayer!
Good is commendable -
Evil"s dependable!
Evil is viable
Good"s unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!
Evil"s for me - you can have good!
Doesn"t suit me to be Robin Hood!
S"easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good "n" evil
Than try to be evil and good!
