The Song Thread

[Megana]

Well, I thought since we all have a habit of breaking into song, that I would start a thread for us to sing our lungs out on. ;D Hehe, anyone who goes to the Wanderers boards knows what I'm talking about.

Evanescene
Everybody's Fool

Perfect by nature, icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world
That never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.
Look here she comes now -
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're
But now I know she -
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself,
Lost in your lies
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Never was and never will be
Not for real that you can save me
And somehow now you're everybody's fool.

And for the Disney fans

BE OUR GUEST


LUMIERE: Ma chere mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest
pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax,
let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents...your dinner.

Be our guest. Be our guest.
Put our service to the test.
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie,
and we provide the rest.
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres.
Why, we only live to serve!
Try the gray stuff, it's delicious.
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!
They can sing, they can dance.
After all, miss, this is France.
And a dinner here is never second best.
Go on, unfold your menu.
Take a glance and then you'll be our guest.
Oui, our guest. Be our guest!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS

Beef ragout, cheese souffle.
Pie and pudding en flambe.

LUMIERE

We'll prepare and serve with flair a culinary cabaret!
You're alone and you're scared,
but the banquet's all prepared.
No one's gloomy or complaining,
while the flatware's entertaining!
We tell jokes. I do tricks,
with my fellow candlesticks.

BEERSTEINS

Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet.

LUMIERE AND CHORUS

Come on and lift your glass.
You've won your own free pass,
to be our guest.

LUMIERE

If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS

Be our guest. Be our guest. Be our guest!

LUMIERE

Life is so unnerving for a servant who's not serving.
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon.
Ah, those good old days when we were useful.
Suddenly those good old days are gone.
Ten years we've been rusting,
needing so much more than dusting.
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skill.
Most days we just lay around the castle.
Flabby, fat and lazy,
you walked in and oops-a-daisy!

MRS. POTTS

It's a guest! It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord,
I've had the napkins freshly pressed.
With dessert, she'll want tea.
And, my dear, that's fine with me.
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubblin'! I'll be brewin'!
I'll get warm, piping hot.
Heavens sake, is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed.
We've got a lot to do!
Is it one lump or two? CHORUS
For you, our guest. She's our guest!
She's our guest! Be our guest!

CHORUS

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request.
It's ten years since we've had anybody here,
and we're obsessed!
With your meal, with your ease,
yes, indeed, we aim to please.
While the candlelight's still glowing,
Let us help you, we'll keep going!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS

Course by course, one by one!
'Till you shout, "Enough, I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest.
Tonight you'll prop your feet up!
But for now, let's eat up!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Please be our guest!

So come on! Sing away! Tis fun! ;D

[Arien]

great idea, Megana ;D

*breaks into song*
come on babe, why don't we paint the town,
...and all that jazz!

[Dameon]

Oooh!!! What a good idea!!! Ye be a genius, Megana.

Hmmmm....

*clears throat*

now let me see... yes, I think we need a little M20, don't you???

DIESEASE
MATCHBOX 20

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
But, now I have to let you go
I have to let you go
You left a stain
On everyone of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go
No one's ever turned you over
No one's tried to ever let you down
Beautiful girl, bless your heart
I got a disease
Deep inside me makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease
Feels like you're making a mess
You're h*ll on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn
Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life the foe was magic
If anyone can correct me on that line, please do so
Beautiful girl, I can't breathe
I got a disease
Deep inside me makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease
And well, I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my
World is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Bee, be strong
Keep telling myself that it won't take long till
I'm free of my disease
Yeah, I'm free of my disease
Free of my disease
Free of my disease
I got a disease
Deep inside me makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease
And well, I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my
World is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Bee, be strong
Keep telling myself that it won't take long till
I'm free of my disease
Yeah, free of my disease
Set me free of my disease

Yay! Go M20!!!

[Arien]

ooo, matchbox20! ;D

I'm not crazy, i'm just a little unwell
i know, right now you can't tell
but stay a while and maybe then you'll see
a different side of me

(hehe, that's all i know)

hmm..not sure about that line Kayt i thought it was 'all my life...something a rather...tragic' but i'm not sure..

[Megana]

Hehe, singing be good! Ok, here be one of my favs from the movie 'Empire Records'.

Cranberries
How

Look, you're standing alone
(standing alone)
However i should have known
(i should have known)
Never before, never again
You will ignore, i will pretend
Never before, never again
You will ignore, i will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face
How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
Now you're just walking away
(walking away)
When you said you always would stay
(always would stay)
Never before, never again
You will ignore, i will pretend
Never before, never again
You will ignore, i will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your face
Your alone in your world
Your alone in your face
How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
Never before, never again
You will ignore, i will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your place
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your place
How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
Alone

[Dameon]

I just checked, and I'm SURE that's what he says...

UNWELL
(M20 again!!!)

All day, staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night, hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on. Feeling like I'm heading for a
Breakdown. And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me. Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know. Know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper and
It makes me feel there must be something wrong
With me. Out of all the hours thinking
Some how, I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon, they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away!
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!! Having a mental illness myself, I can really identify! It's the most perfect description of a person with depression and paranoia that I've ever seen!

[Arien]

Yay sarah Mclachlan.

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

[Miska]

yay! i was startin to worry for a minute! so ehre we go! ...im sure everyone can guess wat im gonna put up....


[Ursula:] The only way to get what you want is to become
a human yourself.
[Ariel:] Can you do that?
[Ursula:] My dear, sweet child. That's what I do - it's
what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk -
like yourself - poor souls with no one else to
turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and made a switch
True? Yes

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
(Pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

[Ursula:] Have we got a deal?
[Ariel:] If I become human, I'll never be with my father
or sisters again.
[Ursula:] But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
[Ariel:] But I don't have any -
[Ursula:] I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a
trifle. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
[Ariel:] But without my voice, how can I -
[Ursula:] You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't
underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman
And I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad
But true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

mwahahahhaa...it just needed to b done! go teh little mermaid!

[Dameon]

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You might want to go back up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you looking for!!!!!!!!

[Megana]

Yay! Little Mermaid!!! ;D

Kiss the Girl

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

Les Poissons

Les poissons
Les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop
And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais oui
Ca c'est toujours delish
Les poissons
Les poissons
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah

With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes
Don't you?

Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice

(Zut alors, I have missed one!)
Sacre bleu
What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?
Quel dommage
What a loss
Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour, I think
Just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Toodle loo mon poisson
Au revoir!

[Miska]

OMG! LOL! u no that was the song i was first goin to post! *pokes tounge out* hehehe tis soooo cool! sha la la la la ...*wonder off dancing*...



*prances back in* ok hmmm now lets see. how bout *thinking music* no no not that... this: crazy town: butterfly

Come my lady
Come come my lady
You're my butterfly
Sugar baby
Come my lady
Come come my lady
You're my butterfly
Sugar baby

Such a sexy, sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
And I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side, there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and the looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real?
Cause I can't sleep, I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal
I can feel, too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up when these times get rough
I was lost, now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo I'm putting it down

Courus:
Come my lady
Come come my lady
You're my butterfly
Sugar baby
Come my lady
Yo my pretty baby
I'll make your legs shake
You make me go crazy
Come my lady
Come come my lady
You're my butterfly
Sugar baby
Come my lady
Yo my pretty baby
I'll make your legs shake
You make me go crazy

I don't deserve you
Unless it's some kind of hidden message
To show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
But to tell truth I really never knew till I met you
See I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it
My lifestyle's wild, I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo what's happening now?
I see the sun breaking in through dark clouds
And a vision of you, standing out in a crowd

Courus

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
Whatever tickles your fancy
Girl it's me and you like Sid and Nancy
So sexy, almost evil
Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think that happy endings were only in the books I read
But you made me feel alive when I was almost dead
You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
And as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
And a thank you miss

Courus

Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Uh huh, uh huh
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me

[Lix]

[Arien]

i look once more
just around the riverbend
beyond the shore
where the gulls fly free
don't know what for
what i dream the day might send
just around the riverbend
for me, coming for me



dancing bears,
painted wings,
things i long to remember
and a song someone sings
once upon a december

someone holds me safe and warm
horses prance through a silver storm
figures dancing gracefully
across my memory

oh!!

simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king! so enemies beware!

zazu: well i've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair!

Simba: i'm gonna be the main event, like no king was before.
I'm brushing up on looking down,

Zazu: this child is getting wildly out of wing...

Simba: oh i just can't wait to be kiiiing!

Simba: No one saying do this
Nala: no-one saying be here!
Simba: no-one saying stop that!
Nala: no-one saying see here!

Zazu: now see here!

ROAR

[Timm]

I can't be stuffed typing what I'm listening to, so I'll copy it off a lyrics site

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

[Arien]

yay, that song's cool

Cruella De Vil,
Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will
She's like a spider waiting for the kill!
Watch out for cruella De Vil..
*cue trumpet music*

wooo disney songs

[Lix]

[Min]

Good thread ;D takes care of the Moulin-Rouge in all of us!

Sarah McLachlan rules.

Elsewhere

I love the time and in between the
calm inside me in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out, holding in
I believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk on my desire
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and
hold me near
I believe
I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see i've got to live my life the way i feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe
I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as i can be left here to linger in silence
if i choose to would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
if i choose to would you try to understand

***

Yay.
