The Parent Trap is a 1998 remake of the 1961 family film of the same name. It was directed and co-written by Nancy Meyers, and produced and co-written by Charles Shyer. It stars Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as a couple who divorce soon after marrying, and Lindsay Lohan in a dual role as their twin daughters, who are accidentally reunited after being separated at birth. Both films are based on Erich Kästner's novel Lottie and Lisa (Das doppelte Lottchen). The novel and the 1936 Deanna Durbin film Three Smart Girls are the basis of the screenplay written by David Swift for the 1961 and 1998 film, only the novel is credited however. Meyers and Shyer are credited as co-writers of the 1998 version along with Swift.
Nick Parker (Quaid) and Elizabeth James (Richardson) met and married each other during an ocean cruise on the QE2 (Queen Elizabeth 2). Elizabeth gave birth to twin daughters Hallie and Annie (both played by Lohan), but the couple divorced and lost contact with each other, each parent raising one of the twins without telling her about her sister. Nick raised Hallie in the Napa Valley and became a wealthy wine grower, while Elizabeth raised Annie in London and became a famous wedding gown designer.
Whispered leaves on swaying trees and
Mysteries define
Summer nights of endless light
Remind us of the line that's
Yours & Mine
Thoughts of green and breezes mean
I'm growing from a stem
Missing dirt on my T-shirt
You'll move a little closer but the moving isn't over if it's
Them & You & Me
Stringing electricity
And the rest of it is waiting under
When it overflows
Taking us where no one knows
We remember when we fell into the trap
Midnight air is unprepared for
Thoughts we would condemn
Silence of the stars above
In any other weather
We would try to stay together but it's
Them & You & Me
Stringing electricity
And the rest of it is waiting under
When it overflows
Taking us where no one knows
We remember when we fell into the trap
Mother & Fathers without
Will doubt
Brother to brother another
Hold out
Imagine a world if the numbers would take some
Time out
Me without you & you without
I want to break out of this abstracting pattern of layers but it's
Say wrong, I right ,
Say light, I strong ,
You say you'll be never long
But You have to do everythings that cupping down,
I Said LIving it Sometimes.. Believe In me
Living it Sometimes you Really Satisfy Me
It's gonna take a little time
I'll tell it like it was
It is a nice scenario
But creating it was rough
Is it any wonder
I've fallen in love
With falling in and out of love with you
And watching you burn
While waiting you become so numb
You had to calculate
And when you realize you can't
It always way too late
Is it any wonder
I've fallen in love
With falling in and out of love with you
DON'T YOU WORRY, DON'T YOU WORRY
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
WELL LIFE IS THE TRAP, BUT IT SURE TASTES GOOD
AFAR FROM JUNK, IT AIN'T A FOOL
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
ALL THESE DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OF ITS FAIR
DON'T YOU WORRY, DON'T YOU WORRY
LIFE IS THE TRAP, IT'S COLD TO THE TOUCH
YOU GOT DIAMOND DREAMS, IT'S COLD TO THE TOUCH
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
DAYS OF ABANDON, NOTHING IS THERE
LOOSING REASON, LOOSING REASON
LOOSING REASON, LOOSING REASON TO CARE
WELL LIFE IS THE TRAP, BUT SURE TASTES GOOD
AFAR FROM JUNK THAN OF ITS FAIR
IT'S DARK, DARK AND LONELY
AND THERE'S NO ONE, NO ONE THERE
DON'T YOU WORRY
EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT

Weird voices inside my head
Deaf and frozen senses
Feelings I had never forget
Blocked up by fences
A shadow and a lightning
Overcoming instincts
A weird voice that said
Please, kill this fucking head
You’ll never own me
So forget this plan
You set a tricky trap that
Makes me feel ashamed
You’ll never own me
So forget my name
Your spreading spores are
Driving me insane
Weird voices inside my head
Hustled me and lost the thread
This entertaining riot
Polarized my mind instead
Try to overload the void
Mute and frozen anger
I am still annoyed
He plunges through the forest night, his eyes are wide
with fear;
Behind him he can hear the sounds that means the hunt
is near.
Fair before him is the trap, and in the trap, the bait.
He trembles, kneels, and lays his horn
Upon the lap of Fate.
And now the hunt converges on the spellbound unicorn.
The hunters mean to slay the beast and take his
precious horn.
So gleeful in their greed and lust, they have not
paused to see
This maid is not the peasant girl they left tied to the
tree.
Now as they raise their spears, she casts blue
lightening from her hands.
Their limbs are bound fast to their sides, as if with
iron bands.
She rises. In her voice is rage and hatred in her eyes.
"Cruel killers on a dream be warmed, you merit death",
she cries.
"Though you spread terror, pain and fear, rough justice
shall you see:
And as you have the hunters been, so shall you hunted
be!"
Now once again out from her hands, the lightenings
dance and flare.
Where once each man had stood, there was a small and
frightened hare.
"From moon to sun, to moon again, run hunted, evil men,
And pray the Lady spares your lives,
and Fate remains your friend".
"Dear unicorn, you and your kind
Still yet may die unless
Shall we turn hunter, you and I?"
