Lyrics of Live By the Hook (Original Broadway Cast Recording) by Kelsey Grammer
Feels like there′s nothing left
Am I on my own
And the road ahead I can't walk alone
They′re all leaving me
Don't believe in me
I was foolish, reckless and blind
I should turn back while there's still time
You coward!
Oh boo hoo!
No one wants to play with me and my wife has left me
Oh woe is me
Woe is me
Who are you?
I am your darker side, the one you keep in shadows too far to hide
Deep in your heart, you can′t deny
All of your fears keeping me alive
Waiting here for you to arrive
Don′t choose to live by the book
Let's live by the hook!
Captain James Hook, at your service
Playwright James Barrie
I know
But I don′t understand where you came from?
Came from you, James, a part of you
A part of you you don't like to talk about
A deep part with little cakes and cucumber sandwiches
Who me?
Yes, and ever so slightly, more handsome
You need me
Your play needs me
Children like to be scared
They just don′t know it yet
Unleash me!
I don't know how!
You have to use your pen for something other than satisfying them
Let us embark on this journey
Be sure to write a part for me
I′ll be the wind behind your sails
I will fight tooth and nail
On Guard!
You have to look in your heart, in your soul
You must find a hook, in your heart, in your soul
And search every nook in your heart, in your soul
Don't live by the book, in your heart, in your soul
We live by the hook!
Writer(s): Gary Barlow, Eliot Kennedy
