Great Interest ft. Eric Price, Santino Fontana & Solea Pfeiffer Lyrics

Miss Brewster

Mr. John Pace Seavering

So

Where were we?

Yet to begin

Ah yes

Well

I've read your book

I was hoping you had

I read it with great interest

I am very glad

The story of your life

But organized so neatly

You swear that you wrote it alone?

The story of my life

Is mine and mine completely

Each word in the book is my own

It's a fine book

Well, now I'll relax

I read it with great interest

Fine. Down to brass tacks

Have you decided?

The work is so clean

Articulate, inviting

I can't wait to see where this goes

No, please, what I mean

In other people's writing

It's more often purple than prose

But not your book

Mr. Seavering

Oh, and do call me John

John

You read it with "great interest"?

From midnight 'til dawn

The story of your life

The struggle, the misfortune

The triumph, it's just what I need

I read it with great interest

With great interest?

Great interest indeed

The machine is out of control!

Gidger!

Ticking without end, sending paper hither and thither

Well, turn it off, will you?

Tell it to stop

Yes, John, that is exactly how it works

"Mr. Machine, would you very kindly stop?"

I'll take that break now

Do!

And close the door behind you

If everyone knew

About you and me

They would have great interest

I have to agree

What my people would make

If they beheld your freckles

If they smelled the starch of your collars

The earth would start to shake

Hysteria and heckles

If nobody sees

Well then, nobody hollers

You don't know a thing

You can show me the rest

You've taught me already

But not when we're dressed

The story of your life

Is tomorrow's front page

Nothing's been written so far

The story of my life

And all boys your age

You don't yet know who you are

Maybe we don't know who we are

Because we went through the war

And after the war, the way that you are

Isn't the way you were before

Think of what we saw

All we had to face

The worst things in this century

Have already taken place

So, if we're lost

We'll be found

Soon enough

Stick around

I'm starting to see 

What the future can be

And does that future feature me 

And my book?

As a matter of fact

I read it with great interest

Then you better act

The stories of our lives

Combine in this moment

Together we just might succeed

No one hears the sizzle

As we start to cook

And

No one takes the time

To take a second look

But

You got yourself a printing press

And I got a book

I read it with great interest

Great interest

Great interest indeed

I read it with great interest

Great interest

Great interest indeed
