Rupert Holmes - No Good Can Come From Bad lyrics

[Neville] Sir I don't much like your tone, that supercilious sneer you wear! Clear, you wear a finer cut than mine Ah but a waistcoat worn can soon be torn A weed like you. Should bleed your blood so blue [Rosa] Something in this speech seems ominous to me! [Helena] Twin, don't over preach, pray promise this to me! [Crisparkle] Praise to him divine! For this we should be glad! [Jasper] Won't you try some wine? [All] No good can come from bad! [Jasper] My dearest Nephew Ned, I wish to wish you well! The world is your before you just like - [Cook] OYSTERS ON THE SHELL! [Drood] Landless, (as you are and known) Your blood is hot but less than pure! Less, I'm sure, than we, your history would indicate The past of some half-caste runs through your veins Your crudeness thus explains [Rosa] Something sends a chill like feet upon my grave [Helena] Can my strength and will completely Neville save? [Crisparkle] Could these words they say bring harm upon the lad? Jasper: Night must follow day! [All] No good can come from bad! [Jasper] My dearest, deepest friends, may I propose a toast; To Rosa Bud and Edwin Drood, three cheers - [Cook] AND HERE'S THE ROAST! [Crisparkle] How very blessed we are when oh so many starve! Thy kingdom come, thy will be done - [Jasper] WHICH ONE OF YOU WILL CARVE? [Neville & Drood] Glances cut like blade through bone; With daggers drawn I glare at you There at you who dare presume to stare at whom I'd make my wife and share my life - I'd see you dead before sweet Rosa wed [Helena] Fate waits near! I feel it, I fear it! We are friends and yet they'll not soon forget Hearing Neville's threat, every epithet! [Crisparkle] In younger days, I hungered for another: Rosa's mother! After Rosa's birth, she left this earth Now dust is all I'm worth! [Rosa] So long a time, they've thought that I'm a Dresden doll Quite naive, but I perceive these boys This noise more fright'ning Than they might conceive [Jasper] As I stand by, take note: Your throat sounds quite dry, this wine Should satisfy! [All] With these new additions, there may be revealed Murderous admissions otherwise concealed [Neville & Drood] Fie on you, I curse!!! Full warning you Have had! [Helena & Rosa] Bad must lead to worse [All] No good can come from bad! No good - No good can come from bad!
