marvin hamlisch - nothing كلمات الأغنية

[diana]
(spoken)
i’m so excited because i’m gonna go to the high school of performing arts. i mean, i was dying to be a serious actress. anyway, it’s our first day acting cl-ss and we’re in the auditorium and the teacher, mr. karp, puts us upon the stage with our legs around everybody, one in back of the other, and he says: “okay, we’re gonna do improvisations… now, you’re on a bobsled and it’s snowing out and it’s cold… okay, go!”

ev’ryday for a week we would try to feel the motion
feel the motion
down the hill
ev’ry day for a week we would try to hear the wind rush
hear the wind rush
feel the chill
and i dug right down to the bottom of my soul
to see what i had inside
yes, i dug right down to the bottom of my soul
and i tried, i tried!

(spoken)
and everybody’s going “woosh… woosh… i feel the snow, i feel the cold, i feel the air…”. and mr. karp turns to me and he says: “okay, morales, what did you feel?”

and i said… “nothing
i’m feeling nothing,”
and he says “‘nothing’ could get a girl transferred.”
they all felt something
but i felt nothing
except the feeling that this bullsh-t was absurd!

(spoken)
but i said to myself, “hey, it’s only the first week. maybe it’s genetic; they don’t have bobsleds in san juan!”

second week, more advanced, and we had to be a table
be a sportscar
ice-cream cone
mister karp, he would say, “very good, except morales
try, morales
all alone.”

and i dug right down to the bottom of my soul
to see how an ice cream felt…
yes, i dug right down to the bottom of my soul
and i tried to melt!
the kids yelled, “nothing!”
they called me “nothing”
and karp allowed it, which really makes me burn
they were so helpful
they called me “hopeless”
until i really didn’t know where else to turn

(spoken)
and karp kept saying, “morales, i think you should transfer to girl’s high, you’ll never be an actress, never!” jesus christ!

went to church, praying, santa maria
send me guidance
send me guidance
on my knees
went to church praying, santa maria
help me feel it
help me feel it
pretty please

and a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
came up to the top of my head
and a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
here is what it said:
this man is nothing!
this course is nothing!
if you want something go find a better cl-ss
and when you find one
you’ll be an actress
and i -ssure you that’s what fin’lly came to p-ss

six months later i heard that karp had died
and i dug right down to the bottom of my soul
and cried…
’cause i felt nothing
