Libreto De ''Una Cosa Llamada Amor'' (1993)

And tearing my song all up with minorchords now

The more I solve, the less I work

That can't be good forsome boy out oflove

Out oftouch, out oflust, out ofsoul, n'out ofsong

The more I hurt

The less I feel

Should I say more orless to get real?

The more I hurt

The less I dream on

-Hey. -Hey.

-You play a mean cello. -Thanks.

It's just a big mandolin,really.

How do you like Nashville so far?

I'm writing a song about a waitress who kills herself.

-Yeah, it's tough. -Yeah.

But that's why when I first came here I went to the roof...

and I told the whole damn town that I don't plan to leave.

-You really did that? -Yeah.

-I did, too. -Yeah, I know. I heard you.

The whole hospital heard you.

In fact, that's myfavorite thing about you so far.

Yeah?

Well, I'm gonna....

You know, James, trust is like an ice cube.

Once it melts, it's gone.

So, in that regard, I've heard some things.

Oh, you're speaking of the R.C. Roberts thing.

Well, we had our troubles. He wanted me to sound like...

-all that top 20 crossover shit. -I heard you knocked him out.

Yes, I knocked him.... No, Ididn't knock him out.

I hit him. I clocked him good, you know.

Did you sign a contract with R.C. Roberts?

-No. -Tell me the truth.

No.

You know, I would have passed on Elvis if he hit somebody.

You know why? 'Cause I can.

-Yeah. Well, that's good. -Now, it's not that I'm disinterested.

Understood?

-You're James, right? -Yes, ma'am.

Well, this A and R guy hadto leave while you were still on...

but he wants you to call him first thing tomorrow.

Well, thank you, dear. Listen, you've heard my music...

you know what it's all about. If you have any interest at all...

-please feel free to call. -Why would I not be--

You got my number. You can get it from Lucy.

Well, now, I am interested, yes.

Very interested. I'll call you firstthing tomorrow.

First thing. Got it? Doug Siskin, first thing.

Thank you. Thank you so much. We work well together.

-Forget about it, baby. -I'm not gonna forget about it.

-In fact, I owe you. -Well, if you really mean that...

-I know what I want. -What's that?

-How about we write a song together? -Okay.

Well, let's go to the movies, then.

-The movies? -Yeah.

-Idon't wanna go to the movies. -Come on, baby.

I told you I want to write a song together.

So, what's this movie about?

It's the oldest story in the book. Two guys and a girl.

John Wayne and James Stewart and Vera Miles.

What happens?

Well, let's see.

Ol' John and Jimmy

They both loved Miss Vera

Now, you know, in time Something's bound to go wrong

They lovethe same girl

She's undecided

Looks like Johnny and Jimmy will fight

Before long

The world goes around and we're on it, regardless

Sometimes it's warm

Sometimes cold and heartless

Yes.

We all have something

That we're in search of

Dream comin' true

Life full oflove

-That's damn good. -No.

No, it's good.

All right, it's good.

That doorsometimes sticks.

Here, let me help you with that.

I should call you sometime.

Yeah, you should.

Good night, moody.

-Lue, wake up. -I'm awake.

-There's a man outside the room. -Oh, it's probably Billy.

-Who's Billy? -We had a date.

He's not real bright, but he plays real good guitar.

Yup, that's Billy.

Doesn't Billy have a home?

Yeah. Well, it's just, whenhe dropped me off tonight...

I told him I wasn't gonna sleep with him.

Because basically, I've decided that the road to love...

is just a one-way street, and sex ain't nothing but a road block.

So he says that he'll just sleep out there to be near me...

and I said, ''Go ahead, sleep out there on the cold cement...

''catch a cold, I don't care.'' And he ended up doing that...
