Music in the film:

There’s not that much music performed to camera in the film. Danielle Spencer gets to do I Only Have Eyes For You at an audition early in the film, and later near the end of the film, while Pat Evison also gets a chance to do a little song and dance for Steven (though it brings on a heart attack).

(Below: Danielle Spencer and Pat Evison performing in the film).

Lyrics:

After a scene with Steven leaving his parents to catch a bus to Melbourne, there’s music over the opening titles sequence. This is the Sunset Dance Club performing the old Warren/Dubin number I Only Have Eyes For You. The lyrics are essentially the same as those heard when the song reappears at the end and runs over the end titles

Thanks to Steven triggering the theatre fire alarm, Emma makes it to her audition, which gives Danielle Spencer a chance to to do her own performance of the Warren/Dubin number.

The first verse is in the rehearsal room, and over Steven taking the bus out of town, away from gran and back to his parents:

Are the stars out tonight?I don't know if it's cloudy or bright'Cause I only have eyes for you, dearThe moon may be highBut I can't see a thing in the sky'Cause I only have eyes for you ...I don't know if we're in a gardenOr on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am IMaybe millions of people go byBut they all disappear from viewAnd I only have eyes for you …

(By this time there has been a long zoom back to reveal the old Melbourne City Baths on the left, the Shrine of the Remembrance in the distance, as the

camera looks down Swanston street from the top of the old CUB brewery building. There is a lightly jazz-inflected piano/double bass instrumental interlude, which begins as end credits roll over black, and then the chorus returns):

I don't know if we're in a gardenOr on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am IMaybe millions of people go byBut they all disappear from viewAnd I only have eyes for you …

The music tails out slowly, and then a synth-dominated tune featuring the film’s title takes over (this had previously turned up in the body of the film):

The world is turning tonight,Tomorrow’s burning tonight,That lonely lover insideHas run for cover too high ...In the city of dreamsIt’s hard to find yourselfOne man’s burden is another man’s world …The stars are falling … tonight!Adventure’s calling … tonight!On the streets of danger … and shame!You greet the stranger … by name.In the valley of doubt the thieves are at your heelsOoohAnd nobody cares what the culprits feelOoohWhen the night’s your only friendAnd you can’t find any moreYou have to ask your heartWhat the moon saw …What the moon saw …What the moon saw …What the moon saw …What the moon saw ...What the moon saw … What the moon saw … (song is fading out)What the moon saw … (song fades)
