Love Nest - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charlotte Spencer, Daniel Flynn

We should get a little flat

Somewhere we could call our own

We deserve a hideaway

Some place we can be alone

I know someone I can phone

Who’ll start working right away

He knows Knightsbridge back to front

I’ll get on to him today

He will find a pied-à-terre

In a quiet, private square

A romantic secret lair

To continue our aff-

Thanks, but no

I’m eighteen

There’s a world out there

That I’ve never seen

I’m too young

I can’t let you lock me away

Why do men

Always feel

They can tie you down

With this mistress spiel

I don’t want to become

A walking cliché

Freedom means the world to me

I’m really sorry, Jack

I just have to be free

You’d still be free as a bird

I would never cramp your style

You could go your own sweet way

I’d come by once in a while

I’m sure you mean what you say

I’m really sorry, Jack

It never works that way

(She gets out of bed, throws her arms around him and pecks him on the cheek.)

Got time for a cup of tea before you go?

(STEPHEN WARD steps forward to address the audience.)

And so, after a quite short relationship — exciting for him, and pretty

run-of-the-mill for Christine — they parted company, with nothing to give

anyone the slightest hint that the two of them had just enjoyed one of the most

notorious affairs of the century
