Don't Cry for me Argentina
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
“A world without Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musicals would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us. ”
~ Margaret Thatcher on World Peace
The song Don't cry for me Argentina has been known to make large, hairy British men weep. Taken to heart by the British public during the Falkland Islands War, it was voted second song most likely to replace the English national anthem, God Save the Queen in an online poll conducted by The Sun newspaper (the first is the theme from Balamory but we're not taking that very seriously because everyone knows Balamory is in Scotland). This is also Argentina's National Anthem.

Don't cry for me Argentina is the most famous song from the Evita song book, penned by musical maestros Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The pair were inspired to write the score after hearing Tim Brooke Taylor of The Goodies sing the powerful and memorable ditty Don't Cry for me Marge and Tina.

[edit] Lyrics
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seems to the world they were all I desired They are illusions They're not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do is look at me To know that every word is true
Don't cry for me Argentina
As you can see the lyrics are extraordinary dull, but that comes as no surprise to either critics or fans of lyricist Tim Rice. Did you know 102% of Tim Rice fans are accountants?
