Diarmuid Quinn - Molokov and Anatoly lyrics

[Molokov, spoken] The man is utterly mad. Believe me, Anatoly, you're playing a lunatic [Anatoly, spoken] That's the problem. He's a brilliant lunatic, and you can't tell which way he'll jump. Like his game, he's impossible to an*lyze. You can't predict him, dissect him, which of course means he's not a lunatic at all [Molokov] What we've just seen's a pathetic display From a man who's beginning to crack He's afraid He knows he isn't the player he was And he won't get it back [Anatoly] Nonsense! Why do you people Always want to believe Third-rate propaganda? [Molokov] My friend, please relax We're all on your side You know how you need us [Anatoly] I don't need my army Of so-called advisors And helpers To tell me the man Who's revitalized chess single-handed Is more or less out of his brain When it's very clear he's sane [Molokov] Listen, we don't underestimate Trumper We won't get caught in that trap After all, winning or losing Reflects on us all [Anatoly] Oh, don't give me that crap I win, no one else does And I take the rap if I lose [Molokov] It's not quite that simple-- The whole world's tuned in We're all on display We're not merely sportsmen [Anatoly] Oh, please don't start spouting That old party line Yes, I know it's your job But just get out and get me My chess-playing second In 36 hours we begin-- That is if you want to win! [Molokov, spoken] Wanting is not sufficient. We have to know. We have to make sure. All men have a weakness: his is that woman. Take her, and you win the game [Anatoly, spoken] So you think I can't win otherwise? [Molokov, spoken] I'm not saying that. I'm just making certain. And she is attractive. Then there's her intriguing family history-- Hungary, 1956 and all that [Anatoly, spoken] I'm a chess player, Mr. Molokov. You go and play these other games
