  1. The one line you weren't sure on is "and today's our grand debut"
    Also "It's a pretty heavy rouse" is actually "it's a pretty heady brew"
    And also "we've been halfway round the earth" not "we bring halfway round the earth"
    Hope this helps. :)

  2. Do you have the DVD? If you do, put on the subtitles. It sure helped me in correcting A LOT of websites!

  3. I think that the lyrics that say: "From Turin to Timbuktu", actally say: "Tehran to Timbuktu". At least, this is shown by the Spanish subtitles, and I think that Australian English is very badly pronounced in this production. Anyway, thank you very much!

    1. Hi! if I am right, Erik doesn't have a last name, because if you remember he was on a ''freak show'' since his youth. I didn't read the book, but I think he chose his name.

    2. He is mr. Y but he only uses this name to not discover their identity. And he is hammestein too, he use this name to make christine go to Coney.

    3. I think it's a pun, like "Mr.Y" = "Mister Y" as in "MisterY"/"Mystery"

  6. word corrections:
    *we've got BIRD AND we've got beast
    it's a pretty HEADY BREW

    *from TEHRAN to timbuktu

    *without anymore ADO, not adieu

    from the subtitles of the DVD

  7. actually she has the right lyrics adieu is ADO it's French and it's not bird it's virm which is short for vermin and it's turin. turin is a very important cultural city in Italy and Italy is more well known for culture than Tehran which is in iran. thou you did get heady oh wait that's wrong too. it's heavy I talked to glenn slater the person who wrote all the lyrics in love never dies. and your subtitles are messed up I understand the adieu the subtitles translated it to English automatically since it was set on English so you can't argue with me since I talked to the lyrics creator. so do you're research before you tell people to change their stuff escpecialy when you're making stuff up so just stop correcting people with false information

  8. Hailey Moore, you are completely wrong, mentally unstable, unnecessarily agressive, and full of baloney. (Bologna.)
    I get the sense that you were no more than 10 years old at the time of this posting, (based on the degree of your immaturity,) and sincerely doubt you've ever had contact with the lyricist.
    You need to check-in to a mental hospital.
