THE SPECIAL CATEGORY

1st - Meyran Kraus with:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Stages In A Week-Long Romance

Such bosom-aches I felt the day I met her,
But then, I could not gather how I feel;
My daydreams in the second one fared better:
More passionate and rather more surreal;
The third came with the notion that no guy
Must ever have revered a mistress more,
While I soared to some monumental highs
Beneath her flaring goodness on day four;
Then, on day five, some things did not age well:
Those small compulsions or those loathsome tics...
From harmless bliss, it turned to stressful hell
Around the final hours of day six.
So, as it has to happen to all men,
Day seven comes, and I'm alone again.

2nd - Tony Crafter with:
OH, WHAT A CIRCUS
From 'Evita'

[Che:]
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front pages of all the world's papers today

But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?

She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

[Crowd:]

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

[Che:]
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
And she's not coming back to you

Show business kept us all alive
Since seventeen October 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in

Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said it loud

Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you

[Crowd:]
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

[Eva:]
Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are, I think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so share my coffin

[Che:]
It's our funeral too

=

DON'T CRY FOR TEAM ARGENTINA
Aria (by various desolate Argentines)

[Narrator:]
Oh, what a circus, oh what a show,
Argentina has come to town,
But in the Grand Football Final they've let themselves down,
The fans are mourning,
Mourning their dreams and counting the cost,
Mourning as hard as can be, a trophy their heroes have lost

Oh, what an exit, it's not the way
The script was supposed to have gone,
Now they're dead and buried like Eva Peron,
It's quite a blunder
And sad for the country in so many ways,
For in the newspapers today, the Germans
get all of the praise!

So, who are these German supremos?
Why all the syrupy adulation?
They are not gods, they are not immortal,
But, gee, that goal was something quite special...

They had sleek Messi, he had some style,
And many folk voyaged for miles
To the Estadio Maracana to cheer for their side,
But they've gone home now,
Off to their shanties, to their hidey-holes,
Reflecting how it would've been, if Messi had just scored that goal...

[Crowd:]

Viva our squad; viva our coach, Sabella!
Viva Presidente Cristina!
Viva our proud Argentina!
This was but a hiccup, we are not beaten yet,
We'll rise like a phoenix, from the ashes
And we'll soon have the World Cup again!

[Narrator:]
You blew your chance team Argentina
You missed two easy goals Higuain and Messi,
One goal would do it, not much to ask for,
But sad to say you could not deliver.

[Female Presidente Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner:]
Come sing our usual victory songs,
So much was good, gee it wasn't all wrong,
We've lost a fight but not the war
And we'll be bigger than we were before!

Those Germans do not always thrive
They proved it May 1945
They gave up then, they could again,
Some day we'll cause them football pain!

Come sing our usual victory songs
Unlike Brasil we've got a gong
A silver's good, we're runners-up,
True gold awaits us at the next World Cup!

Sing of success, sing of love
A song of glory to God above,
I'll lead us to such greatness soon,
To find success we must seek the moon...

So, don't cry for team Argentina,
Judge it an upset, not a disaster,
And undeserving of your deep sorrow,
Some day you'll witness our full emergence,
For soon you'll see us, win The Malvinas
Yes, soon you'll see us, in The Malvinas.

[Voices of UK]
Yeah, ok. In your dreams lady!
