The most amazing thing about watching musicals like Les Miserables is that their songs have lyrics that can just brighten any day. I was absolutely thrilled when Shi Yun told me she had the album. I devoured it and skipped all the songs till I reached "Master of the House".
Mr. Dore says Shakespeare is great with his insults. These insults come a close second I reckon.
Mme Thenardier:I used to dream
That I would meet a prince
But God Almighty,
Have you seen what's happened since?
`Master of the house?'
Isn't worth me spit!
`Comforter, philosopher'
- and lifelong shit!
Cunning little brain
Regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover
But there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature
Landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted
Living with this bastard in the house!
If you ever have the chance, watch this musical. I tell you, I laughed so friggin hard when I first heard this. The British are magnificent with their words.
