Love Is All: 100 Years of Love and Courtship Storyville

# Open up your door

# I can't see your face no more

# Love is so hard to find

# And even harder to define

# Oh, open up your door

# Cos we've time to give

# And I'm feeling it so much more

# Open up the door

# Open up your door

# Open up the door

# I can't hear your voice no more

# I just want to make you smile

# Maybe stay with you a while

# Oh, open up your door

# Cos we've time to give

# And my feelings aren't so obscure

# Open up the door

# Open up your door. #

BIRD SONG

HE WHISTLES

I knew it was you.

No, no.

Oh, Stella, why won't you marry me?

There are such thousands and millions of people in the world,

how can we be sure that we are really meant for one another?

Because we are.

You and I?

Oh Stella, do marry me.

I've had a rise this year and next year I'll have another.

BIRD SINGS

We'll buy a little house

and you could choose the furniture

and we'll get a car.

# When you're tired and feeling lonely

# And your heart has nowhere to head

# Think of me, I'll be thinking somewhere

# All of those things that you said

# Don't be cruel to me

# Don't be cruel to me

# Cos I'm looking for someone to find me

# I'm looking for someone to love

# I'm hoping that someone will find me

# I got no-one to love

# When your days are plagued by loneliness

# And you got no-one to call

# My name's here in the phone book

# I'll be straight round to yours

# Don't be cruel to me

# Don't be cruel to me

# Cause I'm looking for someone to find me

# I'm looking for someone to love

# I'm hoping that someone will find me

# I got no-one to love

# I got no-one to love

# I'm hoping that someone will find me

# Someone to call my own

# Someone who will be kind to me

# Cos I got no-one to love. #

# First time, the longing in you wears the girl that grows it

# And if he relieves, you know that then you've blown it

# And as life goes on you know you get to taste

# All you find

# Cos baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Next time, the feeling is the same

# Don't have to show it

# A window of belief is where you own it

# And as life goes on you know you have to face

# All you find

# Cos baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Last time, the years have gone, the moment's on, you know it

# But I believe in you and now I'll show it

# And as life goes on you know you don't have to hate

# All you find

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light

# Baby, you're my light. #

# Please, keep me in your heart

# So please, keep me in your heart

# So please, keep me in your heart. #

# You're precious to me

# Like Owen's poetry

# And I wish you well

# My heart of oak

# With your arms raised open wide

# Singing to the skies

# One mighty soul

# With a heart of oak

# Such a strong will to survive

# The world's a better place for your life

# And I wish you well

# My heart of oak

# When you sang Bay of Biscay

# The whole world, it drifted away

# And you made me cry

# With your heart of oak

# And you made me cry

# My heart of oak. #

# Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long

# Yes, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long

# I woke up this mornin', feeling that something's going wrong

# I want you, lovely lady,

# C'mon and say that you'll be mine

# Yes I want you, lovely lady

# C'mon and say that you'll be mine

# If you don't like my potatoes

# Please don't dig at...

# Yes, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long

# Yes, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long

# Woke up this morning, feeling that something's going wrong

# Going wrong. #

# There's a storm coming

# You'd better run

# There's a storm coming

# Goodbye to the sun

# There's a storm coming

# You'd better

# Run, boy, run

# You'd better run

# There's a ship that's sailing

# Out in the night

# There's a heart that's breaking

# I think it's mine

# There's a storm coming

# You'd better

# Run, boy, run

# You'd better run

# Every little part of you

# Is a miracle of molecules

# And every little thing you do

# So sad in the end

# Oh in the end

# Take a last look

# At the sky through the hangman's noose

# You've shaken all the stones in your foundation of faith

# Got nothing new to lose

# The hangman will show you the window

# To a place where you must go

# You're a bad man to hurt her so

# There's a storm a comin'

# You'd better run

# There's a storm a comin'

# Goodbye to the sun

# There's a storm a comin'

# You'd better run

# You're a bad man to hurt her so

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'

# You'd better

# Run boy run

# You'd better run

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'

# There's a storm a comin'. #

Betty, why do you always avoid me?

If you and I went out together we could have a lot of fun.

-All right.

-You will?

-Yes.

-When, tonight?

Yes.

Good. I'll see you outside here at six.

-All right, at six.

-Good.

Watch your step, Betty. I don't like that man.

I think he's poison.

I know what he's after, and as far as I'm concerned...

TILL RINGS

I don't like it at all.

But, Auntie, the doctor said it would be all right

if I went to that place twice a week.

What your poor mother would have said

I shudder to think,

you wicked girl!

Well, you're quite well again now

and I hope you'll find a nice young man, get married and have a family.

No, I'm afraid that's impossible.

There's only one thing left for a girl like me and that's work.

Betty!

Jim!

Gee, I'm glad to see you.

Betty, will you marry me?

Don't ask me that, Jim.

Things aren't the same as they were, something's happened.

I know all about you and George.

You know?

Mm-hm. Oh, Betty, kiss me.

Not in the shop!

I'll fix that.

You, go on, out.

Well, what's the matter?

Go on, out, it's too late for visitors.

Too late? It's not 12 yet.

Come in later than this with visitors.

Yes, well, I'm putting a stop to it right now.

What you talking about? I've always got friends here!

Look, I want him out of this house and that's final.

Well, what are you talking about?

-Go on, you heard, I don't want any trouble.

-But what are you talking about?

You never went on at me like this before.

You know very well what I mean, Sheila.

I'm not having that man in this house here. Do you hear me?

I want you out of here or I'll call the police, now!

You mean it's because he's black, don't you?

I don't have to give my reasons to you.

Why don't you say it, you bloody coward? What are you afraid of?

Look, I'm not going to stand here and be insulted by you, Sheila.

Tony! Tony, where you going?

-I'm going home, Sheila.

-What for?

-I don't want to get you into trouble.

-Oh, don't go.

It is obvious that boys are different from girls

and men different from women.

Indeed, we know most of the reasons for these differences.

For example, women are made to have babies and to care for them,

so they have broad hips to allow the baby to be born easily.

Men are different. They are made to follow a more energetic existence.

To leave the home and to go to work.

Therefore, they have a more muscular build. They are physically stronger.

And instead of giving birth and caring for babies,

they are often better at giving birth to new ideas.

They are, in fact, usually more inventive and creative.

-Where's Gary?

-This is Gary's mother. I found out all about you.

DREAMLIKE LULLABY PLAYS

A day like this is everyone's dream.

Betty will never forget today and nor will John.

Neither of them could be so completely happy

if they had made the mistake that Brenda did.

Don't you think that it's wiser to wait for that real love affair

that's there in the future for you?

So, don't be like Brenda.

MUSIC: Rockabilly Radio by Richard Hawley and The Feral Cats

# Well I come into town in my Hillman Minx

# Looking for you don't care what anybody thinks

# Cutting it up now the sun's going down

# A fat boy out on the town

# Rockin' all night sleepin' all day

# Don't take my Rockabilly Radio away

# Rock up, daddy when the razor blade calls

# I do what I do I don't care for the law

# I'm a flamin' hot...

# When I fly by even hell will freeze

# Rockin' all night Sleepin' all day

# Don't take my Rockabilly Radio away

Leave it out!

Why are you working for these people? Pakis?

They came over here to work for us.

That's why we brought them over. OK?

ROCKABILLY RADIO CONTINUES

# Well it's no use running gonna make you mine

# Johnny Fake Taylor he ain't no valentine

# Cut it out, baby or I'll end your life

# With my switchblade flash in the night

# Rockin' all night Sleepin' all day

# Don't take my Rockabilly Radio away. #

Come on, hurry up. We're waiting.

There ain't nothing I can say to make it up to you.

There's only things I can do to show you that...

that I am with you.

Salaam alaikum.

Salaam.

Your husband in?

It's OK, I visit a lot of the women, if it's OK with him.

This is the test batch,

jeans, 42 pairs.

Marie, I have fallen for you, you know.

Talk to me.

This won't sew itself.

If you talk I will listen.

I should go.

# Open up your door

# I can't hear your voice no more

# I just want to make you smile

# Baby, stay with me a while... #

Tell him you don't want to go.

What? Be careful what you say!

She's been married to you for nearly 20 years,

and in all my life, Amma, I have never heard you say what you want.

Please, Amma.

HE GROANS

I should have said this before.

You're coming home.

This is my home.

I cannot leave.

I cannot stay.

I cannot stay.

We will always be here.

# You're precious to me HE SOBS

# Like Owen's poetry HE WEEPS

# And I wish you well

# My heart of oak. #

'No-one told me there are different kinds of love.'

'The kind that starts big and slowly wears away,

'that seems you will never use it up

'and then one day it is finished.

'Then there is the kind that you do not notice at first.

'But which adds a little bit to itself every day,

'like an oyster makes a pearl, grain by grain,

'a jewel from the sand.

'That is the kind I have come to know.'

CHEERING, WHISTLING AND APPLAUSE

# When you are in love

# Ah, you feel the stars above

# There's no devil in her eyes

# There's no darkness in disguise

# But when you are alone

# A kiss can turn your heart to stone

# Hearts breaking in the night

# There's a devil in her eyes

# Oh, it's serious

# So serious

# A kiss that caught the wind

# Made you delirious

# Oh, it's serious

# So serious

# Take her in your arms Don't be afraid

# Never be afraid. #
