Book & Lyrics for
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT
BEET
It’s not just that. It’s everything. My life is a misery. I
can’t compose, I can barely hear anymore…
(Neil enters, carrying Doggie. He senses tension)
BEET
…and now the 3 people dearest to me in the world will be leaving
in a few days and I’m heartbroken. I want so much to return with
you, but…alas…
NEIL
Don’t worry, Mr. B. Sadness is a perfectly normal, adaptive
response, and a necessary part of the crucial process of
reasoning and decision making, and is directly linked to
homeostasis and what Sly might call “good vibes”.
SLY (sips his espresso)
Preach.
NEIL
And like all phenomena, it’s only temporary.
BETTINA
See, Ludwig? Think of your feelings as being like clouds in the
sky. They come and they go.
SLY
Nothin’ wrong with that.
BETTINA
Nothing at all.
(Song #18 - There’s Nothing Wrong With That)
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, BABY.
YOU’VE GOT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
LIFE IS SO DAMN FLEETING
REMEMBER TO LOVE
VIENNA’S HARSH ILLUSIONS
BEAT A HUMAN DOWN
NEIL/BEET/SLY
BUT SOON IT MIGHT OVER
BETTINA
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING WRONG BABY
SOON THE MUSE WILL COME AGAIN
THINK OF MY FACE, REMEMBER OUR LOVE
YOU KNOW WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU
WHEN THERE’S LONELY TIMES
ALL
YOUR MUSIC BRINGS THE COMFORT
BEET/SLY
WRITING IS LIVING
THERE’S NOTHING ELSE I KNOW (2X)
WRITING IS GIVING
GIVING YOUR VERY SOUL
FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO KNOW
BETTINA
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
