At The Ocean (6’45”) Lyrics: The film has a song which runs over the tail credits. Lyrics as heard in the film: Some people are lucky Their luck’ll never change No fears, no worries They’re singing in the rain Some people are blessed With a silver spoon Everybody’s dancing Dancing to their tune A never-ending circle A never-ending game They’ve already bought you So they can sell you again Some people are lost In the blazing heat And no beginning or ending Just a one-way street Straight into the city Into the heart of the town But there’s nowhere to go Nowhere to settle down Nowhere to settle down … (musical interlude) Well some people are cursed With a troubled life There’s no rhyme or reason No wrong or right A never-ending nightmare A never-ending shame But there’s no one to turn to Got nobody to blame A never-ending journey Into a world unknown Well I guess you can see... They’re a long way from home … (Music then fades down over the final credits, and has gone by the time the FFC credit and copyright notice rolls up). Composers David A. Stewart and Patrick Seymour: David Stewart is an English musician, songwriter and performer best known for his work with the Eurythmics and work with Annie Lennox, and he was doubtless part of the UK creative side required to keep the official co- production split working. Stewart also wrote the music for Paul Verhoeven’s opus Showgirls and wrote a memoir about his musical life and experiences, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This. Stewart has a wiki listing here. Co-composer Patrick Seymour is a UK producer, arranger, keyboardist and flute player, who composed a number of TV and film soundtracks, and who also worked with Stewart on a number of Eurythmic outings. At time of writing, Seymour had a one page eponymous site here, and a short wiki listing here. (Below: David Stewart with Annie Lennox, David Stewart in performance, and Patrick Seymour) .
