How Can Love Survive

歌詞

MAX In all the famous love affairs The lovers have to struggle. In garret rooms away upstairs The lovers starve and snuggle. They're famous for misfortune which They seem to have no fear of, While lovers who are very rich You very seldom hear of. ELSA No little shack does he share with me, We do not flee from a mortgagee, Nary a care in the world have we, MAX How can love survive? ELSA He's fond of bonds and he owns a lot. I have a plane and a diesel yacht, MAX Plenty of nothing you haven't got! BOTH How can love survive? ELSA No rides for us on the top of a bus In the face of the freezing breezes MAX You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls Or in one of your Mercedes-es! ELSA Far, very far off the beam are we, Quaint and bizarre as a team are we, Two millionaires with a dream are we, We're keeping romance alive. No little cold water flat have we Warmed by the glow of insolvency MAX Up to your necks in security How can love survive? ELSA How can I show what I feel for you? I cannot go out and steal for you I cannot die like Camile for you How can love survive? MAX You millionaires with financial affairs Are too busy for simple pleasure. When you are poor it is toujours l'amour, For l'amour all the poor have leisure! ELSA Caught in our gold platted chains are we, Lost in our wealthy domains are we. Trapped by our capital gains are we, But we'll keep romance alive. MAX Trapped by your capital goals are you ELSA We'll make our love Survive!
