jekyll & hyde (musical) - board of governors lyrics
the board of governors of st. jude’s hospital 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
proposition no. 929: presented by dr. henry jekyll
jekyll, you’re all talk an’ no result!
forever asking us to endorse empty promises!
what’s all the mystery? much ado about nothing, if you ask me
you’re the laughingstock of your profession and polite society!
the mad scientist!
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’re aware 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’t k!ll anymore
a world of compassion, where passion for life
would banish the madness of war
i’m close to finding the key to duality
chemical formulae which could _ and would
alter the patterns of man’s personality
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’re right, 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’t care 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’d say extremely unsound!
the whole thing’s unchristian, barbaric and odd!
you’re playing with fire when you start to play god!
the bishop speaks for all of us
when he says you’re playing god!
there’s such a thing as ethics
over which you ride rough_shod!
you’re a doctor, not a saviour
doctor jekyll, for a start!
but i judge from your behaviour
you can’t tell the two apart!
dear mr. stride, i am simply a scientist
i have a code to which i remain true
i don’t presume to the stature of moralist
i leave pretension like that, sir, to you!
henry, i’ve always encouraged your enterprise
and i’ve been 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’t you see? i am not playing games!
just give me the opportunity!
this whole thing’s too bizarre!
open up your eyes and see!
this man has gone too far!
unless you listen to m
doctor, please watch your tone!
dammit, man, can’t you see?
you’re on your own!
fools!
you fools!
god d_mn your rules
look at yourselves
civilized men!
why can’t you see?
(unintelligible yelling)
order! order!
if i ever needed further justification for my experiments
gentlemen, you have just provided it!
just look at what has happened here!
mix anger with a touch of fear
the danger’s all 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’ll show you all _ it can be done!
here is a chance to take charge of our fate
deep down you must know that tomorrow’s too 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 929 is rejected
thank you for your time, dr. jekyll
i am truly sorry, henry
all these precious years i’ve dedicated 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’s ludicrous i’m bound by their decision
seems vision is a word they’ve never heard
if it mattered less, i’d treat it with derision
it’s absurd!
and yet the fact remains
those b_st_rds hold the reins!
i’m so sorry, doctor jekyll
what a really rotten shame
i so hope that what has happened
won’t destroy your precious name
henry jekyll, i despise you
you have stolen the girl who should be my wife
but there’ll come a day, not so far away
when you’ll not only pay
you will pay all your life
