Karen Akers - My Husband Makes Movies lyrics

[REPORTERS] Not since Charlie Chaplin Has there ever been a film director like this [FIRST REPORTER, spoken] Mrs. Contini, is there any truth to the rumor that your marriage is in jeopardy? [LUISA, spoken] None whatsoever [REPORTERS] Everything he does Gets world attention [SECOND REPORTER, spoken] What about your husband's friendship with Carla Albanese? [LUISA, spoken] My husband has many friends [THIRD REPORTER, spoken] When was the last time he saw Claudia Nardi? [LUISA, spoken] I have no idea [THIRD REPORTER, spoken] Three years ago in Maiorca [LUISA, spoken] That was gossip [FIRST REPORTER, spoken] But compromising photographs were published in Il Giorno [LUISA, spoken] They were composites. He won a lawsuit in that case [FIRST REPORTER, spoken] But in the public mind– [LUISA, spoken] Oh, please. When will you understand? (sung) My husband makes movies To make them he lives a kind of dream In which his actions aren't always what they seem He may be on to some unique romantic theme Some men catch fish Some men tie flies Some earn their living baking bread My husband, he goes a little crazy Making movies instead My husband spins fantasies He lives them, then gives them to you all When he was working on the film on ancient Rome He made the slave girls take the gladiators home Some men buy stocks Some men punch clocks Some leap where others dare to tread My husband, as author and director Makes up stories in his head Guido Contini, Luisa Contini Number one genius and number one fan Guido Contini, Luisa Contini Daughter of well-to-do Florentine clan Long ago Twenty years ago Once the names were Guido Contini, Luisa Del Forno Actress with dreams and a life of her own Pa**ionate, wild, and in love in Livorno Singing with Guido all night on the phone Long ago Someone else ago How he needs me so And he'll be the last to know it My husband makes movies To make them, he makes himself obsessed He goes for weeks on end without a bit of rest No other way can he achieve his level best Some men read books Some shine their shoes Some retire early when they've seen the evening news My husband only rarely comes to bed My husband makes movies instead My husband Makes movies... [FIRST REPORTER, spoken] Thank you very much, Mrs. Contini
