THE MEETING

Travers
Was I correct?
Are you that man I knew?
And now MP?
Is this another you?

Connor
You’re absolutely right, my friend
Before you go and draw the wrong conclusion
Just hear me out! When I left that prison cell
I left behind my dim and distant past.
It was up to me to decide what to do
I had a lot of time to think it through.
I made a vow not to return.
I made a vow…

Travers
You must think I’m daft!
I know it’s now a full ten years
But men like you, you never change
A con…a big con…

Connor (in counterpoint)
You can believe what you want
But I swore then that I would change for good.
I did wrong I do admit
If I hadn’t, then perhaps
All the dealings that I did
Wouldn’t have seen the bank collapse.
But justice served its cause and now I’m free.
And I’m telling you my friend
I’m a better man right now
With a power earned by right.
I now believe in me.
And I’m telling you my friend
That my journey will not end
I do nothing now but good
As you will surely see!

Travers (in counterpoint)
How can this man be the same?
Even though he’s changed his name.
Seems as though he’s my MP!
He’s now within the law,
He has his rights
I can’t believe he’s my MP!
How his life has turned around
Connor Blake, now Gordon Glee!
Has he left a life of crime?
Paid the price and done some good,
Changed the error of his ways?
As I think he really should.
He must know how I have done
Up to Chief Inspector now.
Maybe not as good as he
Can’t believe he’s our MP!

Connor
And now there’s something I must do.

Travers
I’m glad that we’ve now got things straight.

Connor
I have to go and find my child.

Travers
A child you say? I didn’t know!

Connor
And I will help with all my might.

Connor & Travers
Well say no more, and now let’s go!
