We Live and Let Live Lyrics

Balstrode
We live and let live,
And look we keep our hands to ourselves.
(Boles struggles to his feet. - Balstrode sits him down again, laying the law down.)
Balstrode
Pub conversation should depend
On this eternal moral;
So long as satire don't descend
To fisticuff or quarrel.
We live and let live, and look We keep our hands to ourselves.
(And while Boles is being forced into his chair again, the bystanders comment:)
Chorus
We live and let live, and look
We keep our hands to ourselves.
Balstrode
We sit and drink the evening through
Not deigning to devote a
Thought to the daily cud we chew
But buying drinks by rota.
All
We live and let live, and look
We keep our hands to ourselves.
(Door opens. - The struggle with the wind is worse than before as Ned Keene gets through.)

Peter Grimes! You Sailed Your Boat Peter Grimes, I Here Advise You! The Truth... The Pity... Interlude I: On the Beach Oh, Hang at Open Doors Hi! Give Us a Hand I Have to Go from Pub to Pub Let Her Among You Look, the Storm Cone! And Do You Prefer the Storm What Harbour Shelters Peace Interlude II: The Storm Past Time to Close! We Live and Let Live Have You Heard? Now the Great Bear and Pleiades Old Joe Has Gone Fishing Interlude III: Sunday Morning by the Beach Glitter of Waves Let This Be a Holiday This Unrelenting Work Fool to Let It Come to This! What Is It? People!... No! I Will Speak! We Planned That Their Lives Swallow! Shall We Go Now Is Gossip Put on Trial From the Gutter Interlude IV: Passacaglia Go There! Now!... Now! Peter Grimes! Nobody Here? Interlude V: Evening Assign Your Prettiness to Me Pah! Come Along, Doctor! Embroidery in Childhood Mr. Swallow! Who Holds Himself Apart Interlude VI: Fog Grimes! Grimes! Peter, We've Come to Take You Home To Those Who Pass the Borough
