emmasi Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 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? ?

emmasi Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Well I'm bored. No one is here to sing with me. What's going on over on this side? Nothing?
emmasi Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 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 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 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 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 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
