    Lyrics
    Sure I came out here to make my name
    Wanted my pool my dose of fame
    Wanted my parking space at Warners
    But after a year
    Of one room hell
    A Murphy bell
    A rancid smell
    Wallpaper peeling at the corners
    Sunset Boulevard
    Twisting boulevard
    Secret of the rich
    A little scary
    Sunset Boulevard
    Tempting boulevard
    Waiting there to swallow the unwary
    Dreams are not enough to win a war
    Out here they're always keeping score
    Beneath the tan
    The battle rages
    Smile a rented smile
    Fill someone's glass
    Kiss someone's wife
    Kiss someone's ass
    We do whatever pays the wages
    Sunset Boulevard
    Headline boulevard
    Getting here is only the beginning
    Sunset Boulevard
    Jackpot boulevard
    Once you've won, you have to go on winning
    You think I've sold out
    Damn right I've sold out
    I've just been waiting
    For the right offer
    Comfortable quarters
    Regular rations
    Twenty four hour
    Five star room service
    And if I'm honest
    I like the lady
    I can't help being
    Touched by her folly
    I'm treading water
    Taking her money
    Watching her sun set
    Well I'm a writer
    LA's changed a lot over the years
    Since those brave goldrush pioneers
    Came in their creaky covered wagons
    Far as they could go
    End of the line
    Their dreams were yours
    Their dreams were mine
    But in those dreams
    Were hidden dragons
    Sunset Boulevard
    Frenzied boulevard
    Swamped with every kind of false emotion
    Sunset Boulevard
    Brutal boulevard
    Just like you we'll wind up in the ocean
    She was sinking fast
    I threw a rope
    Now I have suits
    And she is hope
    It seemed an elegant solution
    One day this must end
    It isn't real
    Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
    Before tomorrow's execution
    Sunset Boulevard
    Ruthless boulevard
    Destination for the stony hearted
    Sunset Boulevard
    Lethal boulevard
    Everyone's forgotten how they started
    Here on Sunset Boulevard

    Man, he's so excellent to watch. The voice falls out of him like velvet - it really is an incredible gift.

      He was basically the 'It' boy of 80s and 90s British musical theatre. He had boyish good looks, charisma and a show stopping voice. He starred in everything from Les Mis (he was the first British Marius), Aspects of Love, Phantom Of The Opera, Chess (he originated the lead role both in London and Broadway), Sweeney Todd, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Hairspray. He also has 4 UK no.1 albums, and the song 'Love Changes Everything', from Chess, made him a household name.

    "Well, I'm a writer" - that sweet, cheeky expression on his face... totally adorable! I fell in love with him. He sings this song perfectly in my opinion but the orchestra behind him is way too loud.

    • @tapani1484
      @tapani1484 4 роки тому

      I thought the words were "While I'm arriving", rendering the previous lines all sexual innuendos. It's still my fave line through the entire song and I refuse to sing it any other way.

    Sorry but I can't get over how he says "boulevard". It just sounds wrong. Its bullevard not booolevard. Boo boo boo

  • @volkerbergmann9398
    @volkerbergmann9398 2 роки тому +3

    The excessive emphasis on the word "Boulevard" is absolutely exaggerated and not very beautiful.

  • @ytesr
    @ytesr 2 роки тому +4

    His pronunciation of boulevard is too distracting, should be bull-leh-vard, not boo-lee-vard. It makes the whole song sound weird.

      John Barrowman does a good job, but he doesn't have the depth in his voice that Michael Ball has.

      Nonsense! You must be American to say that. Most Americans don't like musicals which are always dramatic.

      @@catsnmi270 wow, reacting to a comment I made 4 years ago!!
      But no, I'm not American, I'm from the Netherlands.
      I've heard many versions of this song, and I just don't like this one....
