You Want to Lose Your Only Friend? Annotated

[FLORENCE]
You want to lose your only friend?
Well, keep it up you're doing fine!
Why this humiliation?
Why treat me like a fool?
I've taken shit for seven years
And I won't take it anymore

[FREDDIE]
I'm only teasing Soviets
With gentle bonhomie
And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me

[FLORENCE]
There's a time and there's a place

[FREDDIE]
(spoken)
Well how about here and now? Are you for me or for them?

[FLORENCE]
There's a time and there's a place...

[FREDDIE]
1956: Budapest is rising
1956: Budapest is fighting
1956: Budapest is falling
I'd have thought you'd support
Any attack on these people
On the people who ran
Mindlessly over your childhood
Don't let them fool you, for
Thirty years on, they're the same

[FLORENCE]
1956: Budapest is fighting
1956: Budapest is dying...

[FREDDIE]
They see chess as a war
Playing with pawns just like Poland
If you walk out on me
You're really betraying your father
Were he alive now
He'd surely be dying of shame

[FLORENCE]
You know that there's nothing I've done
That he'd be ashamed of in my whole life!
Why'd you have to do this to me?
