Wicked : For Good Lyrics Elphaba; Glinda *************************************
(Elphaba): I'm limited Just look at me - I'm limited And just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you (For both of us) - now it's up to you...
(Glinda): I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good
(Elphaba): It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part: So much of me Is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you
(Glinda): Because I knew you
(Both):(just glinda) I have been changed for good
(Elphaba): And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for
(Glinda): But then, I guess we know There's blame to share
(Both):(just glinda) And none of it seems to matter anymore
(Glinda): (skip the elphaba parts here - too much to take ^^) Like a comet pulled from orbit - As it passes a sun -----(Elphaba):Like a ship blown from its mooring Like a stream that meets a boulder -----(Elphaba): By a wind off the sea Halfway through the wood -----(Elphaba): Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
(Both):(elphaba) Who can say if I've been Changed for the better? I do believe I have been Changed for the better
(Glinda): And because I knew you...
(Elphaba): Because I knew you...
(Both): Because I knew you... (glinda) I have been changed (elphaba) for good... (glinda)

(elphie yelling at dorethy)
elphie: Oh, for Oz's sake, stop crying!!! I can't listen to it anymore! ... (opens the door where girl is captured) Oh, you want to see your Aunt Em and your Uncle What's-his-name again?! Then get those shoes off your feet!!! (closes the door again) ... Little brat... takes a dead woman's shoes! Must have been raised in a barn! (walks to the chimpanse) Chistery, please... If you don't at least try to keep speaking, you will never...
(glinda arrives at the stages - elphie see her coming)
elphie: Go away.
glinda: They're coming for you. Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog... Dodo. I know you don't want to hear this, but someone has to say it... You are out of control! I mean, come on! They're just shoes, let it go! Elphaba, you can't go on like this.
elphie: I can do anything I want. I am the Wicked Witch of the West! (another monkey arrives, with a letternote for elphi) At last! What took you so long? What's this? Why are you bothering me with this? (elphie reading the letter, and grows stiff)
glinda: What is it? What's wrong? (still watching elphaba) It´s fiyero, isn´t it?
elphie: We've seen his face, for the last time.
glinda: Oh no!
elphie: You're right... It's time. I surrender.
glinda: Elphie.... Elphie, what is it?
elphie: You can't be found here! You must go.
glinda: No.
elphie: You must leave!
glinda: I'll tell them everything!
elphie: No! They'll only turn against you.
glinda: I don't care!
elphie: But I do! Promise me, promise me, you won't try to clear my name...
glinda: No. I don´t...
elphie: Promise!
glinda: Alright... I promise. But I don't understand.
elphie: I´M LIMITED JUST LOOK AT ME, I'M LIMITED AND JUST LOOK AT YOU, YOU CAN DO ALL I COULDN'T DO, GLINDA (gets the grimmorie from chisserie and try to give to glinda) ... Here. Go on. Take this.
glinda: Elphie... You know I can't read that...
elphie: Well then, you'll have to learn cause - NOW IT'S UP TO YOU FOR BOTH OF US NOW IT'S UP TO YOU (give the grimmorie to glinda)
glinda: Oh Elphie...
elphie: You're the only friend I've ever had.
glinda: And I've had so many friends... but only one that mattered.
(glinda - first alone in the scene- waves godbye´s at some unseen persons)
glinda: That's right! Just follow that one road the hole time. Oh, I hope they don´t get lost. I´m so bad at giving directions. (looks around, to be sure nobody watches her and pick up some flowes, kneels down at nessas grave) Oh, Nessa.
(elphie comes into the scene)
elphie: What a touching display of grief.
glinda: I don't think we have anything further to say to one another.
elphie: I wanted something to remember her by, and all that is left of her were those shoes, and now that wretched little farm girl has walked off with them. ... So I'd appreciate some time, alone, to say goodbye to my sister. ...... (kneel down in front of the house, that had killed her sister)(while glinda walks a bit aside) Oh Nessa, please, please forgive me...
(glinda walkes back to her) glinda: Oh Elphie, don´t blame yourselve. It's dreadful, it is, to have a house fall on you, but accidents will happen.
elphie: You call this an accident?
glinda: Yes! ... Well, maybe not an accident...
elphie: Well then. What do you call it?
glinda: Well... a regime change Caused by a bizarre and unexpected twister of fate.
elphie: You think cyclones just appear, out of the blue?
glinda: I don't know, I never really...
elphie: No, of course you never! You're too busy telling everyone how wonderful everything is!
glinda: I'm a public figure, now. People expect me to...
elphie: Lie?
glinda: ...be encouraging! And, what exactly have you been doing besides riding around, on that filthy, old thing?
elphie: Well, we can't all come and go by bubble. Who's invention was that, the Wizard's? Of course, even if it wasn't, I'm sure he'd still take credit for it.
glinda: Yes, well. A lot of us are taking things, that don't belong to us, aren't we?
elphie: Now wait, just a clock tick! I know, it may be difficult, for that blissful, blonde brain of yours to comprehend, that someone like him could actually choose someone like me! But it's happened... it's real. And you can wave, that ridiculous wand, all you want, you can't change it! He never belonged to you, he doesn't love you, and he never did! He loves me!
(in the same moment glinda slappes elphie, who is first wondering and starting in a crazy laugh)
elphie: Feeling better now?
glinda: Yes, I do.
elphie: Good, (elphie slaps her back) so do I.
(they both starting to go into a fight) ***********
(the guards are come running in scene) guard: Halt! In the name of the Wizard!
(guards are parting/splitting? elphie and glinda - glinda to protect her - elphie to capture)
glinda: Stop! Let me go! Let me go, I almost had her!
guard: Sorry it took us so long to get here, Miss.
elphie: I can't believe you would sink this low! To use my sister's death as a trap to capture me?!
glinda: I never meant for this to happen!
(fiyero hurries into scene)
fiyero: Let the green girl go! (pointing with a weapon on one guard)
glinda: Fiyero, how in Oz?
fiyero: I said, let her go! Or explain to all Oz, how the Wizard's guards watched while Glinda the Good was slain. (pointing the weapon on glinda)
glinda: Fiyero...
fiyero: I said, let her go. Elphaba, go, now.
elphie: No, not without you.
glinda: Fiyero, please.
fiyero: Hush! Now! Go!
glinda: Do it!
(she throw elphis hat back to her - and elphie rushes away) (for a short moment fiyero still point the weapon on glinda, than he surrender himself)
guard: Seize him!
glinda: Wait, what?! What are you doing? Stop it! In the name of goodness, stop! Don't you see? He wasn't going to harm me, he just... he... he loves her.
fiyero: Glinda, I'm so sorry!
guard: Take him up to that field there! Put him on one of those poles until he tells us where the witch went.
glinda: No, don't hurt him! Please, don't hurt him! Fiyero!!!!
elphie: It's just... for the first time... I feel... wicked. I just wish...
fiyero: What?
elphie: I wish I could be beautiful... for you. Don't tell me that I am, you don't need to lie to me.
fiyero: It's not lying! It's... uh... looking at things another way. Someday, you and Glinda will make up and we'll all...
elphie: Listen... Do you hear that? It sounds like somebody in pain. My sister's in danger.
fiyero: What? How do you know?
elphie: I don't know, I just do...
fiyero: What's wrong, what is it?
elphie: There! Don't you see it?
(she´s pointing into the sky)
fiyero: What do you mean? What do you see?
elphie: It doesn't make any sense... It's a house but it's... it's flying through the sky? I have to go to Nessa!
fiyero: I'll come with you!
elphie: No, you mustn't, it's too dangerous!
fiyero: Listen to me, listen! My family has a castle in Kiamo Ko. Now, no one is ever there except for the sentries who watch over it. We've never lived there.
elphie: Where do you live?
fiyero: In the other castle...
elphie: oh, of cause.
fiyero: It's the perfect hiding place; tunnels, secret passageways... You'll be safe there.
elphie: We will see each other again, won't we?
fiyero: Elphaba, we are going to be together always. You can see houses flying through the sky, can't you see that?
(just after boq leaves - on the shizz trainstation)
glinda: Nessa, maybe he's just not the right one... for you.
nessa: No, he's the one. It's me that's not right. Don't worry, Elphaba, I'll be fine.
elphie: Nessa, wait!
(Nessa wheels herself offstage - elphie tries to go after her - glinda stops her)
glinda: Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will.
elphie: Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone. Besides, you have Fiyero. Where is he, anyway? Not that I expected him, to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other.
glinda: I don't know him either. Not anymore. He's distant, and moodified... And he's been thinking, which really worries me. I never knew, how much he cared about that old goat. Oh, there he is!
(fiyero enters the scene)
Galinda: Oh, there he is! Fiyero, over here dearest!
(he hands elphaba a bunch of flowers)
fiyero: Elphaba, I'm happy for you.
glinda: Yes, we are both so happy...
fiyero: Uh, listen, I've been thinking...
elphie: Yes, I've heard.
fiyero: About that lion cub, and... everything. I think about that day a lot.
elphie: Really? So do I.
glinda: Me too! Poor Doctor Dillamond. It makes one want to... uh... take a stand. In fact, I've been thinking of... uh... changing my name.
fiyero: Your name?
glinda: Well, yes! Since Doctor Dillamond had his own way of pronouncing my name, in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known no longer as GA-linda, but as simply, Glinda.
fiyero: Oh well, that's very admirable of you... Glinda. ... Elphaba, good luck.
(fiyero runs off)
glinda: There, you see?
elphie: Galinda...
glinda: It's Glinda now. Stupid idea, I don't even know what made me say it.
elphie: It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you!
glinda: I don't care! I want him. I don't even think he's perfect anymore, and I still want him. This must be what other people feel like. How do they bear it?
(glinda starts to cry, and they embrace eachother)
elphie: Come with me.
glinda: Where?
elphie: To the Emerald City.
glinda: Really? ... I've always wanted to see the Emerald City!
(followed by "one short day")
(than from middle-part of the song - later in the emerald city)
Glinda: All the hustle and bustle! It's all so Ozmopolitan! (she did get two tickets for a wizard-show, and calls to elphie)
Elphie... Elphie? C'mon we'll be late for WizOMania.
Elphaba: I want to remember this moment, always. Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring. For the first time, I'm somewhere that I belong.
(The Students Are In Dr. Dillamond's Class) (poor Dr. Dillamond was arrested and led away) (a new Teacher arrived, and brought along a cage with a lion cub in it)
(elphie speaks to fiyero)
elphie: Can you imagine a world where Animals are kept in cages? ... and they never speak? ... What should we do?
fiyero: We?
elphie: Well, somebody has to... DO something!!! (magic spells the others) (Sparks Begin To Fly Everywhere.) (All students & the professor are moving uncontrollably except fiyero and elphaba)
fiyero: What's happening?
elphie: I don't know, I got mad, and...
fiyero: Alright, just don't move! And don't get mad at me... (he grabs the cage and starts to run away, turn back to elphie and...) Well are you coming? (elphaba runs with fiyero, after he snatches the lion cub).
both are running away, to try to save the little lion:
elphie: Careful! Don't shake him!
fiyero: I'm not!
elphie: We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know, we have to find someplace safe.
fiyero: Don't you think that I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid, dont't you.
elphie: No, not really stupid.
fiyero: Why is it that every time I see you you're causing some sort of commotion?
elphie: I don't cause commotions, I am one.
fiyero: That's for sure.
elphie: So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?
fiyero: No, I'm saying...
elphie: Do you think, I want to be this way? Do you think, I want to care this much?
fiyero: Look, i just want...
elphie: Don't you know, how much easier my life would be, if I didn't?
fiyero: Do you ever let anyone else talk?
elphie: Oh, sorry...
fiyero: But just...
elphie: ...But can I just say one more thing?... You could have walked away, back there.
fiyero: So?
elphie: So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you pretend to be...
fiyero: Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.
elphie: No your not. Or you wouldn´t be so unhappy.
fiyero: Fine, if you don't want my help...
elphie: No, I do! (runs after him and try to stop him from leaving and suddenly hold his hand) (they look deeply in each others eyes) (suddenly elphie hears the little lioncub again - and run back to him) ... Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling... I didn't mean, to frighten him...
fiyero: What did you mean to do? And why was I the only one, you didn't do it to?
elphie: Oh look, you're bleeding...
(Referring To A Cut On His Face)
fiyero: I am?
elphie: it must have scratched you.
fiyero: Yeah or maybe it scratched me, or something.
(elphie trys to touch his cheak)
Oh, I better get to safety... I mean the cub...
elphie: Of course!
fiyero: Get the cub to safety! ...
(he walks off, with the cage)
elphie: Fiyero...
(elphie watches him leave - and starting to sing:)
As Long As You're Mine - Original English Lyrics [Elphaba, Fiyero] ***********************************
Elphie: Kiss me too fiercely Hold me too tight I need help believing You're with me tonight My wildest dreamings Could not forsee Lying beside you With you wanting me
And just for this moment As long as you're mine I've lost all resistance And crossed some border line And if it turns out It's over too fast I'll make every last moment last As long as you're mine ...
Fiyero: Maybe I'm brainless Maybe I'm wise But you've got me seeing Through different eyes Somehow I've fallen Under your spell And somehow I'm feeling It's 'up' that I fell ...
both (Fiyero:) Every moment As long as you're mine I'll wake up my body And make up for lost time ...
Fiyero: Say there's no future For us as a pair ...
both (Fiyero:) And though I may know I don't care ...
both (Elphie:) Just for this moment As long as you're mine Come be how you want to And see how bright we shine.
both (Elphie:) Borrow the moonlight Until it is through And know I'll be here holding you As long as you're mine ...
Fiyero: What is it? Elphie: It's just -- for the first time, I feel wicked.
glinda: "Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle..."
elphie: "My dear Father... "
glinda: There's been some confusion Over rooming here at Shiz...
elphie: But of course, I'll care for Nessa...
glinda: But of course, I'll rise above it... For I know that's how you'd want me to respond "Yes."
elphie: There's been some confusion For you see, my room-mate is...
glinda: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar And altogether quite impossible to describe...
elphi: Blonde.
glinda: What is this feeling So sudden and new?
elphi: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you...
glinda: My pulse is rushing...
elphi: My head is reeling...
glinda: My face is flushing... What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame Does it have a name? Yes!
Loathing Unadulterated loathing... For your face...
elphi: Your voice...
glinda: Your clothing... Let's just say -- I loathe it all! Ev'ry little trait, however small Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
elphi: With simple utter loathing There's a strange exhilaration In such total detestation It's so pure! So strong!
glinda: Though I do admit it came on fast Still I do believe that it can last And I will be loathing Loathing you my whole life long!
------------------------skip this part???
Dear Galinda, you are just too good! How do you stand it? I don't think I could! She's a terror! She's a Tartar! We don't mean to show a bias But Galinda you're a martyr!
Well ... these things are sent to try us!
Poor Galinda, forced to reside With someone so disgusticified. We just want to tell you: We're all on your side! We share your... -----------------------------------till here????
