[02:34.551] 1894, Emanuel Lasker
[02:37.232] [MOLOKOV]
[02:37.663] How straightforward the game
[02:40.509] When one has trust in one's player
[02:42.968] [CHOIR]
[02:43.258] 1921, Jose Capablanca
[02:45.993] [MOLOKOV]
[02:46.232] And how great the relief
[02:48.939] Working for one who believes in
[02:52.245] Loyalty, heritage, true to his kind
[02:55.719] Come what may
[02:56.955] [CHOIR]
[02:57.163] 1927, Alex Alekhine
[02:59.776] [THE AMERICAN]
[03:00.013] Though it gives me no joy
[03:01.927] [CHOIR]
[03:02.063] 1935, Euwe
[03:02.928] [THE AMERICAN]
[03:03.066] Adding to your satisfaction
[03:05.176] [CHOIR]
[03:05.393] 1948, Mikhail Botvinnik
[03:08.199] [THE AMERICAN]
[03:08.357] You can safely assume your late, unlamented employee
[03:14.537] Knows if he wins, then the only thing won
[03:18.155] Is the chess
[03:19.274] [CHOIR]
[03:19.404] 1957, Vasily Smyslov
[03:22.289] [MOLOKOV]
[03:22.448] It's the weak who accept
[03:24.308] [CHOIR]
[03:24.466] 1960, Tal
[03:24.986] [MOLOKOV]
[03:25.127] Tawdry untruths about freedom
[03:27.695] [CHOIR]
[03:27.828] 1963, Tigran Petrosian
[03:30.646] [MOLOKOV]
[03:30.814] Prostituting themselves
[03:33.759] Chasing a spurious starlight
[03:36.805] Trinkets in airports sufficient
[03:39.739] To lead them astray
[03:41.216] [CHOIR]
[03:41.394] 1969, Boris Spassky
[03:44.324] [FLORENCE]
[03:44.519] Does the player exist
[03:46.569] [CHOIR]
[03:46.748] 1972, Bobby Fischer
[03:47.528] [FLORENCE]
[03:47.682] In any human endeavor
[03:49.712] [CHOIR]
[03:49.878] 1975, Anatoly Karpov
[03:53.002] [FLORENCE]
[03:53.147] Who's been known to resist
[03:56.102] Sirens of fame and possessions?
[03:59.050] They will destroy you, not rivals
[04:02.078] Not age, not success
[04:08.224]
[04:08.763] instrumental
[05:45.597]
[05:50.424] [THE RUSSIAN]
[05:50.572] They all think they see a man
[05:53.523] Who doesn't know
[05:56.512] Which move to make
[05:59.356] Which way to go
[06:02.249] Whose private life
[06:05.461] Caused his decline
[06:09.727] Wrecked his grand design
[06:17.538] Some are vicious, some are fools
[06:20.593] And others blind
[06:26.146] To see in me one of their kind
[06:38.481] Anyone can be
[06:41.167] A husband, lover
[06:42.837] Sooner them than me
[06:45.171] When they discover
[06:46.888] Their domestic bliss is
[06:48.951] Shelter for their failing
[06:55.017] Nothing could be worse
[06:57.401] Than self-denial
[06:59.115] Having to rehearse
[07:01.407] This endless trial
[07:03.187] Of a partner's rather sad
[07:05.626] Demands prevailing
[07:08.812] [SVETLANA]
[07:09.337] As you watch yourself caring
[07:13.095] About a minor sporting triumph, sharing
[07:17.801] Your win with esoterics
[07:20.123] Paranoids, hysterics
[07:22.097] Who don't pay any attention to
[07:24.591] What goes on around them
[07:28.009] They leave the ones they love the way they found them
[07:32.758] A normal person must
[07:34.877] Dismiss you with disgust
[07:36.873] And weep for those who trusted you
[07:40.887] [THE RUSSIAN]
[07:41.272] Nothing you have said
[07:43.655] Is revelation
[07:45.438] Take my blues as read
[07:47.692] My consolation
[07:49.438] Finding out at last my one true obligation
[08:02.655] [SVETLANA + THE CROWD]
[08:02.942] Listen to them shout
[08:05.543] They saw you do it
[08:07.230] In their minds no doubt
[08:09.607] That you've been through it
[08:11.301] Suffered for your art
[08:12.969] But in the end a winner
[08:19.456] Who could not be stirred?
[08:21.769] Such dedication!
[08:23.478] We have never heard
[08:25.910] Such ovation
[08:27.675] Skill and guts
[08:28.669] A model for the young beginner
[08:33.734] They're completely enchanted
[08:37.458] But they don't take your qualities for granted
[08:42.254] It isn't very often
[08:44.590] That the critics soften
[08:46.630] Nonetheless you've won their hearts
[08:49.001] How can we begin to
[08:52.401] Appreciate the work that you've put into
[08:57.172] Your calling through the years
[08:59.258] The blood and sweat and tears
[09:01.261] The late, late nights, the early starts
[09:05.592] There they go again!
[09:08.093] Your deeds enflame them
[09:09.828] Drive them wild, but then
[09:12.089] Who wants to tame them
[09:13.690] If they want a part of you
[09:16.198] Who'd really blame them?
[09:25.981] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:26.332] And so you're letting me know
[09:29.169] [SVETLANA]
[09:29.319] For you're the only one who's never suffered anything at all
[09:32.215] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:32.383] How you've hated my success
[09:35.397] [SVETLANA]
[09:35.755] Well, I won't crawl
[09:37.493] And you can slink back to your pawns
[09:40.547] And to your tarts
[09:42.119] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:42.337] And every poisoned word shows that you never understood
[09:48.317] [SVETLANA]
[09:48.540] Liar!
[09:49.369] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:49.520] Never!
[09:50.008] [SVETLANA]
[09:50.180] Liar!
[09:50.758] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:50.919] Never!
[09:51.442] [SVETLANA]
[09:51.611] Liar!
[09:52.195] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:52.340] Never!
[09:52.857] [SVETLANA]
[09:52.978] Liar!
[09:53.516] [THE RUSSIAN]
[09:53.696] Never!
[09:54.815] Never!
[10:01.212] [SVETLANA + THE RUSSIAN]
[10:01.366] Nothing you have said
[10:03.940] Is revelation
[10:05.497] Take my blues as read
[10:07.749] My consolation
[10:09.014] [SVETLANA]
[10:09.185] Finding out that I'm my only obligation
[10:14.709] [THE RUSSIAN]
[10:14.887] Is there no-one in my life
[10:18.013] Who will not claim
[10:21.570] The right to steal
[10:24.880] My work, my name
[10:29.176] My success, my fame
[10:36.412] And my freedom?
