The Unwelcome Guest Lyrics & Chords By Clive Nolan

Gardelle:
We must find those letters… you try over there and I’ll check the desk. Can it be true? This is incredible!

Eva:
You have what we need?

Gardelle:
Yes, I believe so but we still have no idea where to look!

Eva:
I hear voices – someone’s coming.

Gardelle:
Quick hide.

Muncey:
I will not tell you again, get out of this house! You should not be here!

Greaves:
My dear Lady I was sent here by Lord Jagman himself.

Muncey:
He said nothing to me about this!

Greaves:
I have to collect some papers for him.

Muncey:
I don’t care what you say you have to collect…you are here for your own purposes…

Greaves:
Please be calm Mrs. Muncey, my agenda is of the purest nature.

I simply obey the master’s instructions
I simply am paid to follow his words to the letter
So trust me dear Lady

Muncey
You should leave! Why must I trust Ben Greaves?

If there was truth in your words
Then they did of malnourishment
Manners of breeding bore you as a punishment
Subtlety, caring – thoughtfulness failed
Left in the gutter, allowed to go stale
Honesty, this final stand – I will not bear
So do the one thing you can do for me now
And just leave

Greaves:
Tomorrow at midnight this revelry starts
At Highgate the cemetery lost in the dark
And then my dear we will know where it lies
A clue to the true location
It’s a clue to the true location

The Hellfire Club will meet on this night
In fire we’ll dance, in shadows we’ll hide
When the power of the moon
To its fullest has grown
And shines through the harp of an angel
Shines through the harp of an angel

Muncey:
Don’t even look at the silverware
I know you took something when last you were here
And don’t call me dear
Shines through the harp of an angel
Shines through the harp of an angel

If there was truth in your words
Then they died of malnourishment
Manners of breeding bore you as a punishment
Subtlety, caring – thoughtfulness failed
Left in the gutter, allowed to go stale
Honesty, this final stand – I will not bear
So take up this book and the papers you look for
And do the one thing you can do for me now
And just leave!

Greaves:
Please be calm – be calm dear lady
Please be calm – be calm my dear
Till I have what I came for
I’ll not take the blame for
Defying the plans that were set for me here
Instructions are followed and so for tomorrow
I’ll take up this book and the papers I look for
And do the one thing I can do for you now
And just leave

Eva & Gardelle:
So they think their plans are sealed
But now we know and all’s revealed
Now we have them – Fools unwitting
We will bring them to their knees

Muncey:
The drink on your breath is enough to offend
Why couldn’t the master have sent a more
Suitable man for the job
He knows what I think
He knows that you drink far too much
I’d be mad to trust in the name of Ben Greaves…
Mad…mad!

Greaves:
I have what I came for now
Trust me…it’s time for me to go
I have what I came for now…now

Muncey:
If there was truth in your words
Then they died of malnourishment
Manners of breeding bore you as a punishment
Subtlety, caring – thoughtfulness failed
Left in the gutter, allowed to go stale
Honesty, this final stand – I will not bear
So take up this book and the papers you look for
And do the one thing you can do for me now

Truth in your words
Then they died of malnourishment
Manners of breeding bore you as a punishment
Subtlety, caring – thoughtfulness failed
Left in the gutter, allowed to go stale
Honesty, this final stand – I will not bear
So take up this book and the papers you look for
And let us return to a state of tranquility
Stop hanging round like a worm in the ground
Do the one thing you can do for me now
Just leave…leave…leave!

Greaves:
Please be calm – be calm dear lady
Please be calm – be calm my dear
Till I have what I came for
I’ll not take the blame for
Defying the plans that were set for me here
Instructions are followed and so for tomorrow
I’ll take up this book and the papers I look for
And do the one thing I can do you now
Please be calm – be calm dear lady
Please be calm – be calm my dear
Till I have what I came for
I’ll not take the blame for
Defying the plans that were set for me here
Instructions are followed and so for tomorrow

Muncey:
So take up this book and the papers you look for
And let us return to a state of tranquility
Stop hanging round like a worm in the ground
Do the one thing you can do for me now

Eva & Gardelle:
So they think their plans are sealed
But now we know and all’s revealed
Now we have them – Fools unwitting
We will bring them to their knees
