Another Suitcase In Another Hall (Evita)

Elaine Paige · Encore [1996]

MISTRESS:

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long

Never fool myself that my dreams will come true

Being used to trouble I anticipate it

But all the same I hate it--wouldn't you?

So what happens now?



CHE:

Another suitcase in another hall



MISTRESS:

So what happens now?



CHE:

Take your picture off another wall



MISTRESS:

Where am I going to?



CHE:

You'll get by, you always have before



MISTRESS:

Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care

That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through

But every time it matters all my words desert me

So anyone can hurt me--and they do

So what happens now?



CHE:

Another suitcase in another hall



MISTRESS:

So what happens now?



CHE:

Take your picture off another wall



MISTRESS:

Where am I going to?



CHE:

You'll get by you always have before



MISTRESS:

Where am I going go?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know

Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow

I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion

But that's no consolation--here and now

So what happens now?



CHE:

Another suitcase in another hall



MISTRESS:

So what happens now?



CHE:

Take your picture off another wall



MISTRESS:

Where am I going to?



CHE:

You'll get by, you always have before



MISTRESS:

Where am I going to?



CHE:

Don't ask anymore
