Melanie C - Another Hundred People Lyrics






Another hundred people just got off of the train
And came up through the ground,
While another hundred people just got off of the bus
And are looking around
At another hundred people who got off of the plane
And are looking at us
Who got off of the train
And the plane and the bus
Maybe yesterday.

It's a city of strangers,
Some come to work, some to play.
A city of strangers,
Some come to stare, some to stay.
And every day
The ones who stay
Can find each other in the crowded streets and the guarded parks,
By the rusty fountains and the dusty trees with the battered barks,
And they walk together past upholstered walls with the crude remarks.
And they meet at parties through the friends of friends who they never know.
"Do I pick you up or do I meet you there or shall we let it go?"
"Did you get my message? 'Cause I looked in vain."
"Can we see each other Tuesday if it doesn't rain?"
"Look, I'll call you in the morning or my service will explain."
And another hundred people just got off of the train.

It's a city of strangers,
Some come to work, some to play.
A city of strangers,
Some come to stare, some to stay.
And every day
Some go away
Or they find each other in the crowded streets and the guarded parks,
By the rusty fountains and the dusty trees with the battered barks,
And they walk together past upholstered walls with the crude remarks.
And they meet at parties through the friends of friends who they never know.
"Do I pick you up or do I meet you there or shall we let it go?"
"Did you get my message? 'Cause I looked in vain."
"Can we see each other Tuesday if it doesn't rain?"
"Look, I'll call you in the morning or my service will explain."
And another hundred people just got off of the train.
And another hundred people just got off of the train,
And another hundred people just got off of the train,
And another hundred people just got off of the train.
Another hundred people just got off of the train.

  3. B.... M....

    Amazing artist dont care what anyone said she had the best voice of all the spice girls

  4. P.... R....

    Mel c the best.excelent

  5. J.... ....

    Wake up Disney! You could have this bad@$$ singer for your movies.

  6. A.... Q....

    I have been on Team Mel C since they dropped their 1st album!!! She was the one with the voice.

  7. B.... S....

    What amazing rhythm

  8. D.... B....

    So much autotune . . .

  9. D.... ....

    LOVELY! This was my first introduction to this song, and I'll always associate it with her

  10. f.... O....

    Mel c is still lit and bae asf

  11. G.... M....

    This is a technically complicated, but extremely well executed song. Bravo.

  12. E.... L....

    Yeah, amazing song.

  13. J.... F....

    She replied to one of my tweets today! I’m crying!!!!

  14. b.... ....

    This is awesome by Melanie and I'm a fan of her soul/rock solo stuff! Immense talent. I once heard Melanie say she was a pop singer but for me she is sooooo much more than that.

  15. J.... F....

    The 35 people who dislike this! You all SUCK!!! MELANIE THIS IS AMAZING!

  16. E.... L....

    Amazing, voz abençoada da Mel!

  17. F.... o....

    Wow! She has become a very very very beautiful lady...... and that voice stunning!

  18. x.... ....

    Superb version, the last long sustained note was impressive. The album "Stages" confirmed her incredible talent and versatility.

  19. K.... ....

    I love this version of this song, I think she did it very well. Yes, there are parts of the musical mixed into this so yeah, she doesn't include them. Also, she's recording an album, not trying to continue a plotline so if it doesn't seem like she's acting it's because she's not. But to all the haters, she does have stage acting experience so your complaints are moot point. Well, that and the fact that she was recording an album, something that I doubt any of you have done in the same manner.

  20. i.... c....

    I DIGGED THIS WHEN I 1ST HEARD ITTT. OMLL MEL IS SO GOOD WTH !! IS THERE ANYTHING THE GIRL CANT DO ?????

  21. G.... L....

    must be a very long traiiiiiiiiiin, mel! 10 seconds and you did it! woo!

  22. S.... F....

    Gag me with a bag of worms. This woman has all the talent of a skid row bum with a lobotomy. What kind of 'accent' is that? The lyrics fall out of her mouth like wet concrete marbles. Horrid diction. This C*** is famous? Streisand, Minelli and Pamela Myers have nothing to worry about.

    S.... F....

    Steve Fortuna you criticize Mel C's diction and then go on to compliment Barbra, Liza, and Pamela...all of whom have quite the opposite of what many would consider "good" diction. Their diction is unique, and that's precisely why they're interesting.

    S.... F....

    Steve Fortuna every artist has theyre own version. Mel comes from a pop backround while the women you mentioned are from the broadway world. You can't compare them. All of them are equally good. You are triggered over something soo not important. Goes to show what a loser in life you are by bashing women on the internet.

    S.... F....

    Fucking rude.

  23. g.... ....

    That didn't suck at all.

  24. G.... B....

    Amazing song. That last note was awesomely held. Always a fave track of mine from such a brilliant singer like Mel C

  25. R.... M....

    WOW! I did it! <3

  26. A.... N....

    I think what I don't like about this is the fact that she doesn't act at all, the focus just seems to be on her trying to sing the notes, as it's a really tricky one to physically sing. I just would like to see her do it properly and stop back phrasing and adding triplets In all over the place. It's her own interpretation I guess but doesn't really fit for me because her pop style doesn't help. Good for her though!

    A.... N....

    It's because this is not a performance. She is recording this song ... LIVE!!!! LOL

    A.... N....

    She's not performing this in the West End - there is a difference. It is a recording of her own interpretations. She isn't playing Marta.

    A.... N....

    LMAO. She's in a recording studio, not in a musical theatre.

  27. /.... j....

    I love how she's into a song and her expressions makes the song more powerful and original. That's a true musician! I love Mel C's voice on Another Hundred People by Company.

  28. D.... P....

    I love it! It's super cute and spunky. Not typical Broadway at all, but I'm enjoying it! And Mel seems to, as well!

  29. S.... S....

    I give her alot of credit, but a pop voice doesn't have the stamina for broadway. Case in point, Mandy Moore., however, if they updated the orchestration, and the orchestra...or glorified midi could follow her voice, it would have been much more successful...still, at least it isn't Russell crowe's haven't.

  30. D.... C....

    Yeah, and it actually doesn't sound well after that. I'm not trying to bash her, I just think this is not a song for her.

  31. T.... K....

    Give her credit-she at least tried to do the original version (c major I believe) as opposed to the lower registers so many revival Martas do it in.

  32. h.... m....

    yeah!! way too prominent!! not natural sounding at all! I wonder if people are just so used to hearing it since youtubers like to saturate their voices in pitch correction?

  33. T.... C....

    This is stunningly good.... well done... :)

  34. A.... F....

    amazing song :) :)

  35. M.... ....

    Mel C. has ALWAYS put the POW in "Girl Power" with her voice. This recording is the absolute BEST of all the recordings of this piece on YouTube. #1 hands down. The others have pretty voices but she captures the FEELING, the urgency intended and she cares more than ANY of them.

  36. J.... V....

    The comments made me think it was fantastic. Better than I intially expected. Obviously not a voice for theatre, but that's to be expected.

  37. K.... S....

    dat voice!

  38. F.... A....

    YEEAH what a great performance!

  39. M.... ....

    she's one of the best popular singers in the world, here's the proof... She doesn't need any commercial award or media recognizement to prove it. HERE YOU HAVE IT!!!

  40. n.... ....

    She's my favourite SPICE GIRL :D

  41. k.... ....

    Oh WOW - hilarious!! Thanx MelC - I love that :-)))

  42. J.... A....

    She'd be a great Marta in the musical (Sondheim's Company) that this is from!

  43. r.... ....

    i luv this song! n how she enjoys it! :D

  44. D.... J....

    muy bueno

  45. O.... S....

    I love her version more than the latest New York Phillarmonic Concert one.

  46. R.... ....

    put her on a effin broadway show... NOW! :D

  47. J.... D....

    I would like to here the dry signal from the mic ;-)

  48. F.... A....

    how people can possibly dislike such a perfect performance like this... I really don't know. Greetings from Chile!

  49. g.... M....
