Ann Morrison - Now You Know lyrics

[JOE] So we'll do a new show So you'll meet a new dame So you'll take some time For personal pleasure [CHARLEY] There gotta be endings Or there wouldn't be beginnings... Right? [FRIEND 1] You got talent to blow And you're making a name And that song you wrote's A national treasure [FRIEND 2 AND 3] You're looking at losses When you should be counting winnings... Right? [CHARLEY] Best thing that ever could have happened [FRANK] Right [FRIEND 4] So you'll get a new flat And you'll have a few things Start a whole new life And learn to adore it [WOMAN 1] If you want to have weddings Then you gotta have divorces... No? [WOMAN 2] Though it's sad and all that You get over these things And you come out Somehow better for it [FRIEND 2] Just because you change horses Doesn't mean you're changing courses [CHARLEY & WOMEN] Right! [GROUP 1] Best thing that ever could have happened I say best thing that ever could have happened Best thing that ever could have happened [GROUP 2] One more thing not to think about It was all getting much to complicated [FRANK, spoken] Right [MARY] All right, now you know Life is crummy Well, now you know Okay, big surprise People love you and tell you lies Bricks can fall out of clear blue skies Put your dimple down Now you know Okay, there you go Learn to live with it Now you know It's called flower's wilt It's called apple's rot It's called thieves get rich And saints get shot It's called god don't answer prayers a lot Okay, now you know Okay, now you know Now forget it Don't fall apart at the seams It's called letting go your illusions And don't confuse them with dreams Yes sir, quite a blow Don't regret it And don't let's go to extremes It's called what's your choice? It's called count to ten It's called burn your bridges, start again You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never grow Because now you grow That's the k**er, is Now you grow You're right, nothing's fair and it's all a plot And tomorrow doesn't look so hot Right, you better look at what you've got Over here, hello? Okay, now you know Right? [WOMAN 1] It's a month at most [CHARLEY] Sure, you'll spin a few wheels [FRIEND 4] But you don't look back [WOMAN 2] Just leave all the pieces [COMPANY] When you haven't got one choice Might as well enjoy the other Right [WOMAN 3] You'll come out to the coast [FRIEND 2] We can set a few deals And I'm talking strictly major releases [COMPANY] An exit from one place Is an entrance to another Right! [CHARLEY] Best thing that ever could have Happened [MARY] I mean, socks have holes I mean, roads have bumps They make meatheads champs And nice guys chumps I mean, even cream of wheat has lumps [COMPANY] Best thing that ever could have happened It was all getting much to complicated anyhow Best thing that ever could have happened [FRANK] Right, we'll do a new show! No, we'll do a whole batch! When it's over with, I'll cut the connection! You gotta have endings Or there wouldn't be beginnings [ALL] Right! [CHARLEY] When you're flattened this low And you're starting from scratch You can only go in one direction [CHARLEY & MARY] The side is retired But there still are lots of innings [ALL] Right [GROUP 1] Best thing that ever could have happened Best thing that ever could have happened I say, best thing that ever could have happened I say, best thing that ever could have happened It's your time Your time [GROUP 2] Yesterday is done See the pretty countryside Soon enough you're merrily, merrily Rolling along Rolling along [GROUP 3] You're beginning again, got another clean slate Got a whole new life, you'll learn to adore it It's your time It's your time [COMPANY] What's your choice? Count to ten Burn your bridges Start again You should burn them every now and then Or you'll never grow Because now you grow That's the k**er, is Now you grow [MARY] You're right, nothing's fair And it's all a plot And tomorrow doesn't look so hot [COMAPNY] Right, you better look at what you've got! Over here, hello? Over here, hello? Over here, hello? [WOMEN] Now you know Now you know Now you know Now you know Now you know Now you know Now you know Now you know [MEN] ...right ...right ...right ...right ...right ...right ...right ...right [ALL] Right, right, right, right Right, right, right, right Now you know!
