written by Noël Coward for the 1934 Best Picture, Cavalcade(based on the Coward play). Sung by Ursula Jeans LYRICS: Why is it that civilized humanity Can make this world so wrong? In this hurly-burly of insanity Our dreams cannot last long. We've reached a deadline, A press headline, Every sorrow. Blues value Is news value Tomorrow. Blues Twentieth century blues Are getting me down. Who's Escaped those dreary Twentieth century blues? Why?, Why, if there's a God in the sky, Why shouldn't He grin High Above this dreary Twentieth century din? In this strange illusion, Chaos and confusion, People seem to lose their way. What is there to strive for, Love or keep alive for, Say, 'Hey, hey!' Call it a day? Blues Nothing to win or to lose, It's getting me down. Who's Escaped those dreary...

Secrets of wisdom buried for eternity
Too far for man to unveil and find
Around us written last signs of sanity
Too close because we are blind
The dust has set and silence cradles man into false peace
Evil within, symbolical endless rain
Wash in sin, the falling statues of pain
Crying saints, scrabble to shameful victory
Here they come, forgotten corps of misery
Fail of one became the destiny for all
Trail of gun makes mankind aegis fall
Broken heroes on the wings of history
Watching another sorrow's Cavalcade...
Fail of one became the destiny for all
Trail of gun makes mankind aegis fall
Broken heroes on the wings of history
Bleeding for the sorrow's Cavalcade
Tear down all the remains of honor, bear the memory of your brother
Now look back and tell us what you see
The dark is path, in the ruins it leads
Give up now, let the wounds of sadness bleed
