Me and My Shadow Lyrics by Michael Ball

A Love Story

2003

ANTONIO, spoken: Well, here we are, Miguel
MICHAEL, spoken: Looking good. Do you want to start us off?
ANTONIO, spoken: Absolutely!
[A. BANDERAS]
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
[M. BALL]
Like the seashore clings to the sea
[A. BANDERAS]
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow, boy
You'll never get rid of me
[BOTH]
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got ours
[M. BALL]
Me and my shadow
[A. BANDERAS]
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
We're closer than smog when it clings to LA
We're closer than Julio to MDK
Me and my shadow
[BOTH]
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
[M. BALL]
And when it's sleeping time
[A. BANDERAS]
That's when we rise
[M. BALL]
We start to swing
[A. BANDERAS]
Swing to the skies
[M. BALL]
Our clocks don't chime
[A. BANDERAS]
What a surprise
[BOTH]
They just ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!
[M. BALL]
Me and my shadow
[A. BANDERAS]
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a big crowbar to break us apart
[BOTH]
We're alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll fly to Cannes where (?)
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
ANTONIO, spoken: Miguel, Miguel!
MICHAEL, spoken: What is it, mate?
ANTONIO, spoken: Do me a favor?
MICHAEL, spoken: What do you want now?
ANTONIO, spoken: Do you mind taking it just one more time?
MICHAEL, spoken: From the top?
ANTONIO, spoken: Yes, but this time in Spanish!
MICHAEL, spoken: Oh, perfecto!
[BOTH]
Ante este final la ciudad estallará
Daremos la nota por aquí y allá
Iremos a Cannes sólo para triunfar
Nuestra vida será un gran festín
Para mí, mi sombra a mí
