[Susan Foreman]

The final song on the first side of the original album is 'You And Me' which is a soft rock ballad.

It's not a bad song, but it's not something that I want Alice to do

It alienated a lot of Alices' American fans, and was the last time he had a top-ten hit in the US until 'Poison' in 1999

Legend has it that Frank Sinatra performed a cover of this song at a show he did at The Hollywood Bowl...but that is almost certainly not true

It's one of the songs that Alice performed when he was a guest on 'The Muppet Show' in 1978, alongside 'Schools Out' and 'Welcome To My Nightmare'

05/10 - You And Me (Cooper, Wagner)



"When I get home from work, wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you 'till the passion starts to rise
I wanna take you to heaven, that would make my day complete

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
Well that's enough for me

Sometimes when you're asleep and I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you but you just go on dreamin'
If I could take you to heaven that would make my day complete

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah
That's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
I'll tell you, sweetheart
That's just enough for me

You and me ain't no super stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, some popcorn, and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
You're just enough for me

When I get home from work I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you, squeeze you, 'till the passion starts to rise
I wanna take you to heaven that would make my day complete

You and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, lovin', and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am, well that's what I am
I tell you, baby
that's just enough for me"

Side two opens with 'King Of The Silver Screen', and it is another Broadway show tune!

As a piece of trivia, during the spoken interlude at the end, Alice says: "Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen/I admit it to all my fellow workers I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets/I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today/Just don't hit me again. All right guys?/I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet/I know I'm 240 pounds and play center for the Detroit Lions/I don't care any more/I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood/ I'll make somebody a great little wife" and I have always wondered if this is a tribute to Divine and the early films of John Waters

Of course, the final line of the song is Rhett Butler in 'Gone With The Wind'

"(one, two, hey)

By day I'm a workin' man, layin' bricks or layin' pipe
I don't stand out in a crowd, just look like one of the guys
Little do they know, when I'm alone in bed at night
I become the King of the Silver Screen

I stare at the ceiling there, I know where I belong
I two step with Fred Astaire or fighting old King Kong
I can be any hero at all, Zorro or Don Juan
I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time

I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree
Share a joke with Crosby and Hope, we're such good friends, you see
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility
'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
I could've been Errol Flynn if I was born in another time

I could've been a star
I could've been a star
I could've played that part

But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes
I could've been Greta Garbo if I was born in another time

I wake the very next day, go on back to work
I'm just a face in a crowd, another average jerk
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt
Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.............

(Spoken)
Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen
I admit it to all my fellow workers
I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets
I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today
Just don't hit me again. All right guys?
I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet
I know I'm 240 pounds and play center for the Detroit Lions
I don't care any more
I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood
I'll make somebody a great little wife
(Glory Glory Hallelujah)
