Jim Henson's Labyrinth

 

Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems.

This has been one of my favorite movies since the first time I saw it in 1986. I loved it as a child and still do as an adult.





The Story 

This movie combines the imagery of artists like MC Escher and Salvador Dali with the fairy tale imagination of stories like Cinderella and the Wizard of Oz.

The lead character Sarah, played by a then 14 year old Jennifer Connelly, is a girl who escapes from her reality by immersing herself in stories and plays. One day that seems to spiral out of control when she wishes for the Goblin King, Jareth, played by David Bowie, to come and take away her baby brother. He does what she asks and she instantly changes her mind.

To get him back she has to enter the surreal world of the Goblins and find her way through the Labyrinth to the Jareth's Castle. Sarah meets many interesting characters along the way and has to learn that life isn't always fair. She learns to think in new ways and how to solve problems with the help of her new friends.

Join Jareth, Sarah and her friends Hoggle, Ludo, and Sir Didymus in their adventures in the Labyrinth.

Labyrinth soundtrack song list and lyrics

#1 Underground 

It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection, little girl
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah-hah
It's only forever
It's not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground

#2 Into The Labyrinth 

(Instrumental)

#3 Magic Dance 

You remind me of the babe
What babe? the babe with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
And baby said
Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free

I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
What could I do?
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free

Dance magic, dance (4x)
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that baby spell on me

You remind me of the babe
What babe? the babe with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe

#4 Sarah 

(Instrumental)

#5 Chilly Down 

When the sun goes down
And the bats are back to bed
The brothers come 'round
I get out of my dirty bed
I shake my pretty little head
Tap my pretty little feet
Feeling brighter than sunlight
Louder than thunder
Bouncing like a yo-yo, wooh

Don't got no problems
Ain't got no suitcase
Ain't got no clothes to worry about
Ain't got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up.

I just throw in my hand
With the chilliest bunch in the land
They don't look much
They sure chilly chilly
They positively glow glow, huh

Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Act tall with the fire gang
Good times, bad food
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down, chilly down

Drive you crazy, really lazy, eye rollin', funky strollin', ball playin'
Hip swayin', trouble makin', booty shakin', tripping, passing, jumping
Bouncing, drivin', stylin', creeping, pouncing, shoutin', screamin'
Double dealin', rockin', rollin', and a reelin'
With the mackin' sex appealin'.
Can you dig our groovy feelin'?

So when things get too tough
And your chin is dragging on the ground
And even down looks up
Bad luck heh heh,
We can show you a good time
And we don't charge nothin'
Just strut your nasty stuff,
Wiggle in the middle yeh
Get the town talkin', fire gang

Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Good times, bad food
When your thing gets wild
Chilly down
Chilly down with the fire gang
Think small with the fire gang
Bad hep with the fire gang

#6 Hallucination 

(Instrumental)

#7 As The World Falls Down 

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling (3x)
As the world falls down
Falling (3x)
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling (3x)
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling (3x)
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling (2x)
Falling in love

#8 The Goblin Battle 

(Instrumental)

#9 Within You 

How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Though I do believe in you
Yes I do
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, I can't live within you

#10 Thirteen O'Clock 

(Instrumental)

#11 Home At Last 

(Instrumental)

#12 Underground 

No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection, little girl
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah-hah
It's only forever
It's not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground

Nice lens, 5*.
I first saw this movie at my friend's wife's parent's house (what a mouth full). There I met a nice young lady that became my wife.
