My Way by Doug Anthony Allstars Lyrics
[RICHARD Spoken: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm José Carreras]
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
[RICHARD Spoken: Plácido Domingo... Ciano Pavarotti]
*Italian-sounding gibberish*
Oh, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off
More than I could chew
And through it all
When there was doubt
I'd eat it up
And spit it out
I faced them all
And I stood tall
And did it my way
I've lived
I've loved, I've cried
I've had my share
Of joy and things
Now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
[RICHARD Spoken: Ciano Pavarotti]
*Italian-sounding gibberish*
No, oh no, I may
I did it my way
For what is a man?
What has he got?
If not himself
Then he has not
To say the things
He truly feels
And not the words
Of one who kneels
The record shows
I took a blow
[TIM Spoken: Pavarotti in the park! Bad day for it]
[PAUL Spoken: Well, this is the last night of these compendium shows and I think it was a sensational night. And, uh, I think over the, the four nights we've been doing them I've come to realise a lot about myself, about my feelings of masculinity, about the whole male power play within this society. And, uh, I know that sometimes, especially in the 90s, it's very hard for men to come to terms with their feelings. What they'd like to say to other men. Feelings that sometimes they suppress and hold back because they're frightened of the power that may be behind them. My, my heart has been in an absolute dilemma, I've been wretched, I've been torn asunder. I just wanna say to that man, you're a fucking handsome guy. You're a fucking nice looking bloke, you've got a lovely smile, nice smile, I just wanna say to you... I love you and, um... I love you and, uh... I want you to have my kids. At the moment they're in a psych ward in Sydney, but like as soon as they get out, if they've gotten a clean bill of heath...]
And did it my
[TIM Spoken: Venice! Liverpool! Brussels! Glasgow! The last temptation of Christ! Dad]
Way!
[TIM Spoken: Thank you, we're the Doug Anthony Allstars. Good night!]
