Aspects Of Love – Jenny's Bedroom In Paris lyrics

ALEX
Come on, Jenny.
That's enough now.
Jenny, even mermaids
Have to sleep.

JENNY
I am a mermaid
With golden hair...

ALEX
Come on, Jenny.
Be a good girl.

JENNY (suddenly serious)
Alex, let me hold you...
There's so much I want to say...

I want you here forever,
In my arms and in my life,
To belong to you entirely...
You know we're not just cousins...

ALEX (getting up)
We are just cousins, Jenny,
And you're fifteen years old.

JENNY (pulling him back)
It's not as if I don't know passion
From living in our house...
I've learnt that feelings can run deep...

ALEX
We'll talk tomorrow --
Go to sleep.

Taking more...
Than I ought to take...

What are you doing?
Don't even think it...
You have no right to feel this way,
And yet...
I love her, and I must not love her...
I wish to God we'd never met...
She ought to be
The last one I should think of...

GEORGE
I know he's
Up there with her now...

ALEX
She ought to be
The last one I should love...

GEORGE
If he is,
My God, I'll kill him...

ALEX
She ought to be
The last one I should care for...

GEORGE
I should have
Stopped this long ago...

ALEX
The very last...

GEORGE
Selfish little cradle-snatcher...
Twisted, rotten, heartless monster...
Filthy, filthy callous bastard...

I was right...
He's in there...
There he is...
He's in there...

Jenny, my Jenny,
I can't let him take you,
I...

ALEX
George...George...

ALEX
I was saying goodnight to Jenny,
When I heard a noise in the passage...

He must have fallen
And had a heart attack.

HUGO (to ROSE who is bending down to attempt to revive GEORGE)
No, it's hopeless...

ROSE
He was listening
Jenny mustn't know.
If she asks you,
Say he died while sitting by the fire
Help me to move him in there.
