Board Of Govenors - Frank Wildhorn
The Board of Governors of St Jude'sHospital is now in session Sir Danvers Carew KBE Chairman His Grace The Bishop of Basingstoke General Lord Glossop The Right Honorable Sir Archibald Proops QC Lady Beaconsfield Lord Savage The Order of business will be conducted by the Secretary to the Board of Governors Mr Simon Stride STRIDE Spoken Proposition No 929Presented by Dr Henry Jekyll Jekyll you'reall talk an'no result Forever asking us to endorse empty promises What'sall the mystery Much ado about nothing if you ask me You'rethe laughingstock of your profession and polite society The mad scientist Order Order Distinguished Governors I have glimpsed the future Seen miracles that stun the mind And marvels only science can find To shape tomorrow for mankind And I can show them to you If you wish me to Friends you'reaware there are two sides to each of us Good and evil compassion and hate If we could extract all the evil from each of us Think of the world that we could create A world without anger or violence or strife Where man wouldn'tkill anymore A world of compassion where passion for life Would banish the madness of war I'mclose to finding the key to duality Chemical Formulae which could and would Alter the patterns of man'spersonality Guiding him either to evil or good Weigh the potential the great possibilities Colleagues dear friends understand We have a chance to make history here in our hand Each of us is the embodiment of two distinct and opposing forces Good and Evil each fighting for supremacy inside us If we could separate these two forces we could control and ultimately eliminate all evil from mankind My experiments with animals have led me to believe that the day is not far off when this separation will be possible To achieve it I must be allowed to try my formula on a living human being And what if you'reright Jekyll And you do manage to separate Good from Evil what happens to the evil There are doomed broken souls in a thousand asylums I defy you to say you don'tcare if you can In the name of compassion and medical science I can save many lives if you give me one man I tell you now the Church will never sanction it Sacrilege Lunacy Blasphemy Heresy You seem to be treading on dangerous ground In legal terms I'dsay extremely unsound The whole thing'sun christian barbaric and odd You'replaying with fire when you start to play God The Bishop speaks for all of us When he says you'replaying God There'ssuch a thing as ethics Over which you ride rough shod You'rea Doctor not a saviour Doctor Jekyll for a start But I judge from your behaviour You can'ttell the two apart Dear Mr Stride I am simply a scientist I have a code to which I remain true I don'tpresume to the stature of moralist I leave pretension like that Sir to you Henry I'vealways encouraged your enterprise And I'vebeen hopeful that you would succeed But in the face of these powerful arguments I see no choice but for you to concede I know my fate is yours to choose But if they win the world would lose I am on the brink of great success I beg you Governors you must say Yes Doctor Jekyll enough of this ranting Sir This is a hospital here to save lives Do you think we would let you play havoc With all the high principles for which it strives Do you expect us to compromise all that we stand for Indulging your dangerous games How many rules should we break for your dubious games Can'tyou see I am not playing games Just give me the opportunity This whole thing'stoo bizarre Open up your eyes and see This man has gone too far Unless you listen to me Doctor please watch your tone Dammit man can'tyou see You'reon your own Fools God You fools d**nyour rules Look at yourselves Civilized Why can'tmen you see Henry Jekyll Blasphemy Mutiny D**nme Really Henry Unintelligible yelling Order Order If I ever needed further justification for my experiments gentlemen you have just provided it JEKYLL Sung Just look at what has happened here Mix anger with a touch of fear The danger'sall too crystal clear Just look at you Our darker side keeps breaking through Observe it now in me and you The evil that all men can do Must be controlled I beg of you I'llshow you all it can be done Here is a chance to take charge of our fate Deep down you must know that tomorrow'stoo late One rule of life we cannot rearrange The only thing constant is change The only thing constant is change Distinguished colleagues your verdict please All those is favour say Aye All those opposed Nay Nay Nay Nay Nay Positively absolutely nay Sir Danvers Abstain By five votes to none with one abstention Proposition 929is rejected Thank you for your time Dr Jekyll I am truly sorry Henry All these precious years I'vededicated to this dream Now with a word they claim the power to deny me Who are they to judge what I am doing They know nothing of the endless possibilities I see It'sludicrous I'mbound by their decision Seems vision is a word they'venever heard If it mattered less I'dtreat it with derision It'sabsurd And yet the fact remains Those bastards hold the reins I'mso sorry Doctor Jekyll What a really rotten shame I so hope that what has happened Won'tdestroy your precious name Henry Jekyll I despise you You have stolen the girl who should be my wife But there'llcome a day not so far away When you'llnot only pay You will pay all your life Guitar score
