spy story, part 2




there's a little matter
in one of those horrid little countries
is a woman involved?

it's all nonsense, of course
but what can one do?
between the imperial borders

we need you
i am afraid, sir
if you don't mind my saying so

ah, thank you, wilson
i needed that
we need your sort

a woman is indeed involved
madness in the air
a little matter of anarchism

isn't that so
greatly exaggerated
has to be taken care of

we need your sort
i wish it were nonsense
now more than ever

but first
my capacity in that regard
but first

my boy
is a woman involved?
isn't it always the way



spy story, part 1





greatly exaggerated
that only you can handle
my dear boy

that only you can handle
is a woman involved?
in the air

isn't that so
is a woman involved?
i am afraid, sir

a woman is always involved
in the skies over europe
that only you can handle

i am afraid, sir
that my capacity in that regard
nonsense!

a woman is always involved
you know what they are like
but first

is greatly exaggerated
my capacity in that regard
but, my dear boy

"i knew your uncle well"

but my capacity in that regard
isn't quite what you may have heard

is in fact quite exaggerated
that only you can handle

"and i know you to be the very soul of honor"
