Billy Elliot the Musical: Lyrics and Story

The Stars Look Down

Hold me gently

Hold me high

Under darkness

We will fly

Been rejected

Been outcast

We come to rest at last

We will never walk alone

Back to our home

At their reflection

There's a light

See the struggle

At all the pain

Light shines again

We'll stand as one

All out together

All out as one

All out for victory

'Til we've won

All out together

All out as one

All out for victory

'Til we've won

All out together

All out as one

All out for victory

All out 'til we've won

Expressing Yourself

To cheer up the place?

Get some earrings

You will start to feel a different man

What's wrong with expressing yourself?

If you put on a dress?

What's wrong with expressing yourself?

What's wrong with wearing a dress?

You try to impress

Learn to care less

Sing something to me

What's wrong with expressing yourself?

If you want to dress like somebody else

We'll not complain about your boring life

The Letter

I must seem a distant memory

Have missed you growing

Have missed you crying

Have missed you laugh

Missed telling you off

I was with you through everything

Know that I'll always be

Proud that you were mine

And you must promise me this

Always be yourself, Billy

Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher

Can you hear it in the distance

Is it old Rudolph the reindeer

May God's love be with you

Because it's one day closer to your death

And to steal your Christmas pud

It's all for your own good

And they've brought the boys in blue

And they'll all hold hands together

And you're just a Tory swine

Deep into The Ground

I was a young man

They sent me deep into the ground

Can blow me colder

Can parch me dry

For a fortune

Here 'til I die

To make you proud

I count the time out loud

Waiting for my turn

Can blow me colder

Can parch me dry

For a fortune

'Til I die

Can blow me colder

Can parch me dry

Dark, dark hills forever

Until I die

All she's worth to me

I was only forty-seven

Can blow me colder

Can parch me dry

Dark, dark hills forever.

Now until I die

Electricity

I haven't got the words

Something makes you whole

Playing in your ear

Then I disappear

Like a fire deep inside

I'm flying, flying like a bird

Sparks inside of me

It's a bit like being scared

Mad as hell

It's hard to tell

Playing in your ear

Like a burning deep inside

I'm flying

Flying like a bird

Sparks inside of me
