Back to the Bay: Big Brother 2007: Archive Thread

[emmasi]

In my dream last night - could have been from tasting Andy's blood, who knows - I was on stage singing "Rest In Peace," which is the song Spike sings in the Buffy musical, "Once More With Feeling." As such, I thought we could maybe use that as inspiration for our musical. We can change the lyrics to suit our characters and story, whatever they may be...

Once More With Feeling

Going Through The Motions

Every single night the same arrangement

I go out and fight the fight

Still, I always feel the strange estrangement

Nothing here is real,

Nothing here is right

I’ve been making shows of trading blows

Just hoping no one knows

That I’ve been

Going through the motions

Walking through the part

Nothing seems to penetrate my heart

I was always brave and kind of righteous

Now I find I'm wavering

Crawl out of your grave you'll find this fight

Just doesn't mean a thing

She ain't got that swing

Thanks for noticing

She does pretty well with fiends from hell

But lately, we can tell

That she's just

Going through the motions

Faking it somehow

She's not even half the girl she...

ow

Will I stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour

How can I repay?

Whatever

I don't want to be

Going through the motions

Losing all my drive

I can't even see

If this is really me

And I just wanna be

Alive

I’ve Got a Theory

I've got a theory

That it's a demon

A dancing demon

No, something isn't right there.

I’ve got a theory

Some kid is dreaming

And we're all stuck inside

His wacky Broadway nightmare

I’ve got a theory we should work this out

All: It's getting eerie

What's this cheery

Singing all about?

It could be witches

Some evil witches,

Which is ridiculous

'Cause witches,

They were persecuted

Wicca good

And love the earth

And women power,

And I’ll be over here

I’ve got a theory

It could be bunnies

[crickets chirp]

I’ve got a--

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes

They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses

And what's with all the carrots?

What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

Bunnies, bunnies

It must be bunnies

maybe midgets?

I’ve got a theory,

We should work this fast

G&W: Because it clearly

Could get serious

Before it's passed

I’ve got a theory

What Can't We Face

It doesn't matter

What can't we face if we're together?

What's in this place that we can't weather?

Apocalypse

We've all been there

The same old trips

Why should we care?

All: What can't we do if we get in it?

We'll work it through within a minute

We have to try

We'll pay the price

It's do or die

Hey, I’ve died twice

All: What can't we face

What can't we face?

If we're together?

What's in this place

That we can't weather?

We're together

There's nothing we can't face

Except for bunnies

Under Your Spell

I lived my life in shadow

Never the sun on my face

It didn't seem so sad, though

I figured that was my place

Now I’m bathed in light

Something just isn't right

I’m under your spell

How else could it be

Anyone would notice me?

It's magic, I can tell

How you set me free

Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted

Spirits and charms in the air

I always took for granted

I was the only one there

But your power shone

Brighter than any I’ve known

I’m under your spell

Nothing I can do

You just took my soul with you

You worked your charm so well

Finally, I knew

Everything I dreamed was true

You made me believe

The moon to the tide

I can feel you inside

I’m under your spell

Surging like the sea

Wanting you so helplessly

I break with every swell

Lost in ecstasy

Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me com-plete

You make me com-plete

You make me com-plete

You make me—

I’ll Never Tell

This is the man that I plan to entangle

Isn't he fine?

My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle

Vengeance was mine

But I’m out of the biz

The name I made I'll trade for his

The only trouble is...

I’ll never tell

She is the one she's such wonderful fun

Such passion and grace

Warm in the night when I’m right

In her tight--

embrace,

Tight embrace

I’ll never let her go

The love we've known can only grow

There's just one thing that--

No.

I’ll never tell

Both: 'cause there's

Nothing to tell

He snores

She wheezes

Say "housework," and he freezes

She eats these Skeezy cheeses

That I can't describe

I talk,

He breezes

She doesn't know

What please is

His penis got diseases

From a chumash tribe

The vibe gets kind of scary

Like she thinks I'm ordinary

Like it's all just temporary

Like her toes are kind of hairy

But it's all very well

'Cause, god knows,

I'll never tell

When things get rough

He just hides behind his Buffy

Now look, he's getting huffy

'Cause he knows that I know

She clings,

She's needy

She's also really greedy

She never--

His eyes are beady

This is my verse,

Hello? She--

Look at me!

I'm dancin' crazy!

You know

You're quite the charmer

My knight in armour

You're the cutest of the scoobies

With your lips as red as rubies

And your firm yet supple--

Tight embrace

He's swell

She's sweller

He'll always be my feller

That's why I’ll never

Tell her that I’m petrified

I’ve read this tale

There's wedding

Then betrayal

I know there'll come the day

I'll want to run and hide

I lied

I said it's easy

I’ve tried

But there's these fears I can't quell

Is she looking for a pot of gold?

Will I look good when I’ve gotten old?

Will our lives become too stressful

If I’m never that successful?

When I get so worn and wrinkly

That I look like David Brinkley

Am I crazy?

Am I dreamin'?

Am I marrying

A demon?

We could

Really raise the beam

In makin' marriage a hell

So, thank god,

I'll never tell

I swear

That I’ll never tell

My lips

Are sealed

I take the fifth

Nothing to see,

Move it along

I’ll never

Tell

Rest In Peace

I died

So many years ago

You can make me feel

Like it isn't so

And why you come to be with me

I think I finally know

mmm-mmm

You're scared

Ashamed of what you feel

And you can't tell the ones you love

You know they couldn't deal

Whisper in a dead man's ear

It doesn't make it real

That's great

But I don't wanna play

'Cause being with you touches me

More than I can say

And since I’m only dead to you

I’m saying stay away and

Let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace

Let me get some sleep

Let me take my love and bury it

In a hole 6-foot deep

I can lay my body down

But I can't find my, sweet release

So let me rest in peace

You know,

You got a willing slave

You just love to play the thought

That you might misbehave

Till you do,

I'm telling you

Stop visiting my grave

Let me rest in peace

I know I should go

But I follow you like a man possessed

There's a traitor here beneath my breast

And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed

If my heart could beat, it would break my chest

but I can see you're unimpressed

So leave me be and

Let me rest in peace

Let me get some sleep

Let me take my love and bury it

Im a hole 6-foot deep

I can lay my body down

But I can't find my sweet release

Let me rest in peace

Why won't you

Let me rest in peace?

Does Anybody Even Notice?

Does anybody even notice?

Does anybody even care?

Sweet’s Song

Why’d you run away?

Don’t you like my… style?

Why don’t you come and play?

I guarantee a great big smile.

I come from the imagination

And I’m here strictly by your invocation.

So what do you say—

Why don’t we dance a while?

I’m the how to swing.

I’m the twist and shout.

When you gotta sing,

When you gotta let it out.

You call me and I come a-runnin’.

I turn the music on, I bring the fun in.

Now we’re partyin’, that’s what it’s all about.

’Cause I know what you feel, girl.

I know just what you feel, girl.

DAWN

So you’re like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?

SWEET

All these melodies, they go on too long.

Then that energy starts to come on way too strong.

All those hearts lay open— that must sting.

Plus some customers just start combusting.

That’s the penalty when life is but a song.

You brought me down into this town

So when we blow this scene,

Back we will go to my kingdom below

And you will be my queen.

’Cause I know what you feel, girl.

DAWN

No, you see, you and me

Wouldn’t be very regal.

SWEET

I’ll make it real, girl.

DAWN

What I mean, I’m fifteen

So this queen thing’s illegal.

SWEET

I can bring whole cities to ruin

And still have time to get a soft-shoe in.

DAWN

Well, that’s great but I’m late

And I’d hate to delay her.

SWEET

Something’s cooking, I’m at the griddle.

I bought Nero his very first fiddle.

DAWN

She’ll get pissed if I’m missed,

See my sister’s the Slayer.

SWEET

The Slayer?

DAWN

Uh-huh.

SWEET

Find her. Tell her… tell her anything. Just get her here. I

want to see the Slayer burn.

SWEET

Now we’re partyin’.

That’s what it’s all about.

Standing In The Way

You're not ready

For the world outside

You keep pretending,

but you just can't hide

I know I said that I’d

Be standing by your side

But I

Your path's unbeaten,

And it's all uphill

And you can meet it,

But you never will

And I’m the reason that you're standing still

But I

I wish I could say

The right words

To lead you through this land

Wish I could play the father

And take you by the hand

Wish I could stay here

But now I understand

I’m standing in the way

The cries around you,

You don't hear at all

'Cause you know I’m here

To take that call

So you just lie there when

You should be standing tall

But I

I wish I could

Lay your arms down

And let you rest at last

Wish I could

Slay your demons

But now that time has passed

Wish I could stay here

Your stalwart, standing fast

But I'm

Standing in the way

I’m just standing

In the way

Under Your Spell (Reprise)

I'm under your spell

God, how can this be?

Playing with my memory

You know I've been through hell

Willow, don't you see?

There'll be nothing left of me

You made me believe

Wish I Could Stay

Believe me,

I don't wanna go

And it'll grieve me

'Cause I love you so

We both know

Wish I could

Say the right words

------------------------------Wish I could trust

to lead you

------------------------------That it was just this once

Through this land

------------------------------But I must do what I must...

Wish I could play the father

------------------------------I can't adjust to this discust.

And take you by the hand

------------------------------We're done and I just wish I could stay

Both: Wish I could stay

Wish I could stay here

Wish I could stay here

Wish I could stay

Walk Through The Fire

I touch the fire, and it freezes me

I look into it, and it's black

Why can't I feel?

My skin should crack and peel

I want the fire back

Now, through the smoke, she calls to me

To make my way across the flame

To save the day

Or maybe melt away

I guess it's all the same

So I will

Walk through the fire

'Cause where else can I turn?

I will

Walk through the fire

And let it...

The torch I bear is scorching me

Buffy’s laughing, I've no doubt

I hope she fries,

I'm free if that bitch dies

I better help her out

'Cause she is

Drawn to the fire

Some people...

She will never learn

Both: And she will

Walk through the fire

and let it...

Will this do a thing to change her?

Am I leaving dawn in danger?

Is my slayer too far gone to care?

What if Buffy can't defeat it?

Beady eyes is right, we're needed

Or we could just sit around and glare

All: We'll

See it through

It's what we're

Always here to do

so we will

Walk through the fire

So one by one, they turn from me

I guess my friends can't face the cold

What can't we face?

But why I froze,

Not one among them knows

And never can be told

She came from the grave much graver

One by one, they come to me

First, he’ll kill her, then I’ll save her

Everything is turning out so dark

Going through the motions

No, I’ll save her, then I’ll kill her

I think this line is mostly filler

What's it going to take to strike a spark?

It's what they have inside

She will come

These endless days

Are finally ending in a blaze

All: And we are

Caught in the fire

The point of no return

So we will

Walk through the fire

And let it burn

Let it burn

Let it burn

And let it burn!

Life's a Show

Life’s a show and we all play a part

And when the music starts,

We open up our hearts

It’s all right if some things come out wrong.

We’ll sing a happy song

And you can sing along.

Where’s there’s life,

There’s hope.

Everyday’s

A gift.

Wishes can

Come true.

Whistle while

You work.

So hard

All day.

To be like other girls

To fit in in this glittering world.

Don’t give me songs.

Don’t give me songs.

Give me something to sing about.

I need something to sing about.

Life’s a song

You don’t get to rehearse.

And every single verse

Can make it that much worse.

Still my friends

Don’t know why I ignore

The million things or more

I should be dancing for.

All the joy

Life sends.

Family

And friends.

All the twists

And bends

Knowing that

It ends.

Well that

Depends…

On if they let you go,

On if they know enough to know

That when you bow

You leave the crowd.

There was no pain,

No fear, no doubt

Till they pulled me out

Of heaven.

So that’s my refrain.

I live in hell

’Cause I’ve been expelled

From heaven.

I think I was in heaven.

So give me something to sing about.

Please give me something.

Life’s not a song.

Life isn’t bliss.

Life is just this.

It’s living.

You’ll get along.

The pain that you feel

Only can heal

By living.

You have to go on living.

So that one of us is living.

Sweet’s Song (Reprise)

What a lot of fun

You guys have been real swell

And there's not a one who can say

This ended well

All those secrets

You've been concealing

Say you're happy now,

Once more with feeling

Now I gotta run

See you all in hell

Where Do We Go From Here?

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

The battle's done,

And we kind of won

So we sound our victory cheer

Where do we go from here?

Why is the path unclear?

When we know home is near

Understand

We'll go hand in hand

But we'll walk alone in fear

Tell me

Where do we go from here?

When does the end appear?

Heh. Bugger this.

When do the trumpets cheer?

The curtains close

On a kiss god knows

We can tell the end is near

Walk Through The Fire (Reprise)

I touch the fire, and it freezes me

I died

I look into it...

So many years ago

And it's black

This isn't real

You can make me...

But I just wanna feel

Feel

All: where do we

Go from here?

?

[-Chris-]

hey everyone

I'm awake now, who else is here?

[~Lynd~]

Me......tttttttaaaaaasssssssskkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

[emmasi]

http://backtothebay.com/forum/index.php?sh...6088&st=870

If that's not interesting, I can't help you.

[emmasi]

Well I'm bored. No one is here to sing with me. What's going on over on this side? Nothing?

[emmasi]

Wanders back from a brief, desperate excursion to the Master's house, dejected...

Looks over musical lyrics... Gets to work...

Every single day the same arrangement

I sit here and speak my mind

Still, I always feel the strange estrangement

No one's ever here

No one I can find

I’ve been passing time by spouting rhymes

Just hoping no one finds

That I’ve been

Going through the motions

Walking through the part

Nothing seems to stimulate my heart

I am always here, but not at night 'cause

Sleep is such a funny thing

I need it to survive, but to BB

'Just doesn't mean a thing

And so I have to sing

That no one's noticing

That I do pretty well with boredom hell

But lately, you can tell

That I'm just

Going through the motions

Faking it somehow

I'm not even half the girl I...(squirrel bite) ow!

Will I stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through this comp's endeavour?

It can be fun but that's

Whenever

Someone's here with meeee

Going through the motions

Climbing up the wall

I can't even see

What point there's meant to be

If no one's here with me

At aaaalllll...

[Nicom]

I like your thinking about the evilness!

So, are we each going to have a character? Like... we could all pick ones and try and make a storyline first.

I've made a list of people who I think would be good for parts... like, the good guys and the bad guys, if you can think of anymore then most of you are mods and I'm sure BB won't mind you editing my post to add to the lists, or you could just post underneath.

Goodies - Kim, Robbie, Tasha, Alf, Irene, Jack, Martha, Beth, Tony, Lucas, Matilda, Ric, Cassie, Colleen....

Baddies - Angie, Josh, Sarah Lewis, Zoe, Amanda...

Narrator? - Alf, Colleen, Irene... anyone I guess. I'm thinking Colleen though.

[emmasi]

Colleen would have to be the narrator

I think we're supposed to allocate characters to other housemates, so since we're the only people here... who should I allocate to you? I'd like to be allocated Robbie, I think

[Nicom]

I'd like to be Colleen.

[emmasi]

I allocate the role of Colleen to Nicole
