Ordinary Days the Musical - Fine Lyrics
JASON
It started with the wine
CLARE
The wine
JASON
The wine!
We were shopping for a bottle to bring to her cousin's soiree.
CLARE
My cousin's a su chef, she's very gourmet.
JASON
I grabbed my favorite cabernet.
CLARE
He's got no clue and so I say:
Darling, the wine
JASON
The wine?
CLARE
The wine!
They're serving monkfish, so darling the wine can't be red.
How 'bout this Austrian Riesling instead?
JASON
Honey, you know I don't like the Riesling.
When have you ever seen me drink Riesling?
CLARE
Never but can't you listen this once,
Red wine and fish, you'll look like a dunce
JASON
Fine!
I'll bring the red, you bring the white
That way I'll still get drunk, you'll still be right
CLARE
Fine.
JASON
Fine.
CLARE
Fine.
And then there was the cab.
JASON
The cab!
CLARE
The cab. We're stuck in the middle of Broadway,
Ten minutes we wait.
JASON
We're twelve blocks away, and we're already late.
CLARE
I point out there'd be no delay,
If we would just turn that a-way.
JASON
Honey, the cab!
CLARE
The cab.
JASON
The cab! Was pointing squarely down Broadway.
I know you're concerned, but you're cousin's on Broadway,
so why have we turned?
CLARE
Darling, I know my cousin's on Broadway,
but there was lots of traffic on Broadway!
JASON
Surely, but now in my own defense,
We're farther away, which doesn't make sense
CLARE
Fine, driver, please stop here
if you would
I think
Walking would do us both some good.
JASON
Fine.
CLARE
Fine.
BOTH
Fine.
We don't say anything as we're walking down Broadway.
It's like I'm walking next to a stranger.
I've had that feeling more and more, like I don't even know him/her!
JASON
But Right now it’s cold, and we're still in a hurry,
CLARE
I'm not gonna stop and I'm not gonna worry.
BOTH
We'll be fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Then it starts to rain.
CLARE
My hair starts to drip
My shoes are a mess
The bag's getting wet
and so is my dress
JASON
I love the rain.
And how everything shimmers.
CLARE
Speaking up, we've got no umbrella.
JASON
It dots her hair like morning dew.
Suddenly I start to think
Of the day I first met her
A bucket of snow had landed in her hair
I picture her shake the snowflakes off her shoulders
And somehow I want to get us back to there
I want her to know that I can't bare to spend
a single day without her
How can she know?
How can she know?
CLARE
Oh, shit! OW! My shoe, my shoe, my shoe, damnit!
This is really fantastic, no really absurd,
And what, you just stand there and don’t say a word,
Fine, I'm gonna go, we're late for my cousin's.
God help a soul who's late for my cousin!
You can stay put here out in the rain,
Don't leave it up to me to explain
Give me the wine, don't take all day
Fine then! Bring it yourself, your cabernet, Jesus!
JASON
Shut up Clare and marry me!
CLARE
Fine!
What?
