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 nightFrom 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 moreNo 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.
