A Class Act

A Class Act is a quasi-autobiographical musical loosely based on the life of composer-lyricist Edward Kleban, who died at the age of 48 in 1987. Featuring a book by Linda Kline and Lonny Price along with music and lyrics by Kleban himself, the musical uses flashbacks and the device of time running backwards to retrace the high and low points of the composer's personal and professional life.The original production concept was haphazardly thrown together by Kleban's close friend and author of the book by using a trunkful of songs that Kleban had written for a number of unproduced musicals, and writing new scenes or reworking original scenes around them, with Price polishing up the results.

Don't sit back
This is more than a relapse
Of things you once thought about
Just one year then its mission aborted
Clear lines are now distorted

Take a bottle to the face
Just to escape this place
But I'm tempted by fate
And I'm looking for the day

It used to be you and me
Against the world
Now its three months later and I'm battling by myself
I can't take this on by myself
I look around and there's no way out
I could use some help
To pull up and out
Cruel world, won't get me down

Leaving here
For somewhere I don't know
I'm finally getting out
And you all have been
Left for dead
While the rest of the world moves ahead
Ignoring your friends again and again
Won't listen to anything they've said

Take a bottle to the face
You'll never leave this place  
You're drowning in fate
But I'm still looking for the days

You and me 
Against the world
Now its three months later and I'm battling by myself
I can't take this on by myself
I look around and there's no way out
I could use some help
To pull up and out

Cause every Saturday night
Nothing ever going right
You and I weren't able to put up a fight
We fired and we missed
I can't believe we went against this
Great big world
