The sparkling diamond

DISCLAIMER: Moulin Rouge is not mine, neither is the song in this fic. It's called 'Queen of Hollywood' by 'The Corrs' on their 'Talk on corners' album.

AN: I've wanted to do this song for awhile now but was a bit worried with the few modernisations in this song, but I though what the hey I'll do it any ways, you'll just have to imagine what they would have been at the time, I would have put them in myself but it just didn't fit and I couldn't delete them either as it would look odd. Anyways, here you go…

Toulouse hobbled out on to his balcony same as he did every night with a glass of absinthe in one hand and the bottle in the other, accompanied by the fee vert he sat on the balcony ledge.

"Ma fee, settle down and I will tell you a tale of a fille that I know…"

She drove a long way through the night

From an urban neighbourhood

She left her mother in a fight for a dream misunderstood

And her friends they still talk on corners

They could never comprehend

But there was always something different

In the way she held her stare

And the pictures that she painted

Were of glamour and of flair

And her boyfriend though he loved her

Knew he couldn't quite fulfil

He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before

She read it in her stars that there's something more

No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks

She'll be the queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder

What's the difference with this dream?

And the dreams of countless other

All believing in TV

They see their handprints in a sidewalk

Flashing camera on the scene

And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before

She read it in her stars that there is something more

No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks

She'll be the queen of Hollywood

She's believing in a dream

It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut- outs

And the pictures make her smile

But if she saw behind the curtains

It could only make her cry

She's got handprints on her body

Sad moonbeams in her eyes

Not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before

She read it in her stars that there's something more

No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks

She'll be the queen of Hollywood

No she's never gonna be like the one before

She read it in her stars that there's something more

No matter what it takes and even though she breaks

She'll be the queen of Hollywood

She is the queen of Hollywood

Queen of Hollywood

Her friends still talk on corners

She is the queen of Hollywood

"Well, ma cher fee vert," Toulouse slurred as he hopped off the ledge and back onto the balcony "I must go and see Audwey and see how he is getting on with the scwipt for Spectacular Spectacular. Are you coming?" he questioned as he toddled back inside his attic apartment.
