Hook is a 1991 American fantasy film directed by Steven Spielberg. The film stars Dustin Hoffman in the title role, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins, and features Maggie Smith, Caroline Goodall, Charlie Korsmo, Amber Scott, and Dante Basco. Hook acts as a sequel to Peter Pan's original adventures, focusing on a grown-up Peter who has forgotten his childhood. Now known as "Peter Banning", he is a successful corporate lawyer with a wife and two children. Captain Hook kidnaps his two children, and he must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit as Peter Pan in order to challenge his old enemy.
Spielberg began developing the film in the early-1980s with Walt Disney Productions and Paramount Pictures, which would have followed the storyline seen in the 1953 animated film and 1924 silent film. Peter Pan entered pre-production in 1985, but Spielberg abandoned the project. James V. Hart developed the script with director Nick Castle and TriStar Pictures before Spielberg decided to direct in 1989. Hook was shot entirely on sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Although receiving negative reviews by critics at the time of its release, it was a success with audiences, grossing over $300 million worldwide, and was nominated for multiple categories at the 64th Academy Awards. It also spawned merchandise, including video games, action figures and comic book adaptations.
I was blind I was pained
I was nothing till you came
you said babe make you sing
make you feel like some queen
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
Lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
and rolled in like him back
with a halo of deep black
til my love made me gag
called him daddy take my hand
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
good lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
I'm hooked
I'm too far
oh beautiful
I'm bound and I'm lame
life is nothing with his chain
daddy wait she can't sing
she can't feel she's no queen
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
good lord he hooked me
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow?
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't telling you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
to see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I tried, well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground
I've found I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because
The hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook...
you so complete, so much cooler than me. you will be the catch... you, in your sleep, still could land on your feet. you will be the catch of a lifetime.
I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said "Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in fucking mad (?)
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
"Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good lord he hooked me
'Leen out of time
I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said ";Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen";
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line

To your home and mine";
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked

She can't feel, she's no queen!";
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Good lord he hooked me
'Leen out of time
When you're all alone
Far away from home
There's a gift the angel sent
When you're alone
Everyday must end
But the night's our friend
Angels always send a star
When you're alone
At night when I'm alone
I lie awake and wonder
Which of them belongs to me
Which one I wonder?
And any star I choose
Watches over me
So I know I'm not alone
When I'm here on my own
Isn't that a wonder?
When you're alone
You're not alone
Not really alone
The stars are all my friends
Till the night time ends
So I know I'm not alone
When I'm here on my own
Isn't that a wonder?
When you're alone
You're not alone
Not really alone
