One Headlight

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

(chorus)

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me

(chorus)

[Seareach]

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

[Cagliostro]

Well, as long as we are doing musicals:

From Pippin - Finale

[LEADING PLAYER]
Think about the sun, Pippin
Think about her golden glance
How she lights the world up
Well, now it's your chance
With the guardian of splendor
Inviting you to dance
Pippin
Think about the sun

[LEADING PLAYER]
Think about your life, Pippin

[PLAYER]
Days are tame and nights the same

[LEADING PLAYER]
Now think about the beauty

[LEADING PLAYER AND PLAYER]
In one perfect flame

And the angels of the morning
Are calling out your name

[ALL]
Pippin

[LEADING PLAYER]
Think about the

[ALL]
Sun

Think about your life, Pippin
Think about the dreams you planned
Think about the moment
That's so close at hand
When the power and the glory
Are there at your command
Pippin
Think about your life

Think about the sun, Pippin
Think about her golden glance
How she lights the world up
Well, now it's your chance
With the guardian of splendor
Inviting you to dance
Pippin
Think about the sun

Think about your life, Pippin
Think about the dreams you planned
Think about the moment
That's so close at hand
When the power and the glory
Are there at your command

When the power and the glory
Are there at your command

When the power and the glory
Are there at your command

Pippin, think about your life

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly

[PIPPIN]
I'm not a river or a giant bird
That soars to the sea
And if I'm never tied to anything
I'll never be free

I wanted magic shows and miracles
Mirages to touch
I wanted such a little thing from life
I wanted so much
I never came close, my love
We never came near
It never was there
I think it was here

They showed me crimson, gold and lavender
A shining parade
But there's no color I can have on earth
That won't finally fade
When I wanted worlds to paint
And costumes to wear
I think it was here
'Cause it never was there

I wanted magic shows and miracles
Mirages to touch
I wanted such a little thing from life
I wanted so much

[Cagliostro]

Children, Children from Bat Boy: The Musical

PAN: Children, welcome home
To where we all began.
Alone and face to face
Let us erase the fall of man:

Let the frogs pause in their song,
Let the crickets hold their breath,
Let the trees stand still as death
And tell the mosquitoes not to bite.
Now we've been hoping for so long,
So fill the sky with fireflies.
So they can see into each other's eyes
And then they'll get it right...

Oh, Children, Children don't be scared!
The moon is up and we're all prepared!
Children, take a look around-
We're on sacred ground!
And what we thought we lost at last is found.

Now let the turtle and the dove

ANIMALS: Ooh, sha la la!

PAN: Let the lion and the lamb

ANIMALS: Ooh, sha la la! Oooh, Aaah!

PAN: Let the owl and wolf and ram embrace

ALL: Across the countryside!

PAN: Fur and feathers making love
ANIMALS: Sha la la!
PAN: Paws and claws and jaws and beaks.

ALL: Let the song go on for weeks and weeks
To bless this boy and bless this bride!

Oh, Children, Children
Don't be scared! The moon is up and we're all prepared!
Children, take a look around, hear that joyful song!
For what we thought was lost at last is found.
Sha la la la la la!
The Earth's asleep, time to wake it.
If you have clothing, forsake it.
We want you breathless and naked.
Choose your mate; And then let's see what we create!
HEY!

(Interspecies orgy begins)

PAN: Draw near, my dearly beloved,
No preist, No church- but what of it?
Take root, take flight, I command it!
Here we stand-
ALL: Here we stand!
PAN: So no more stalling- take her hand!
Oh, Children, Children
ALL: Children!
PAN: Don't be scared.
ALL: Don't be scared!

PAN: The moon is up and
ALL: -We're all prepared!
Children, take a look around

PAN: We're on sacred ground, and hear that joyful sound!
For what we thought was,
ALL: What we thought was lost at last is found!
Found!
Found!
FOUND!

ALL: HEY!

[Endymion9]

A Body Goes Down by Duncan Sheik
(Jeff Buckley tribute)

Once in a while
A man comes along
Even his failures were favorite songs
Oh to have made something so unsurpassed
As certain things fall away
So certain things last

A body goes down
In the Mississippi waters
Weighted by a beauty
Afraid of its light
Notify your holy men
Console your sons and daughters
And tell me one more time
What is just
What is right

Chances are good
We spread blasphemous lies
Safe to say nobody knew what was inside
Of course there is grace
And those halos of pain
Maybe he sang what he came here to sing

Speed on to the next world
Speed on to the next life
Better I'm sure by far
Orpheus driven
Treasures given
Heal the most broken of hearts
Speed on, speed on, speed on

Sweet lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When lucy met the rockett
And she never knew the reason why

I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
Its not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now youre learning
Whats knockin at your back door

Sweet nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her austin to her bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

[Cagliostro]

You're Too Beautiful - Foolish Sad Robot


I like my nowhere job
You're wanting a career
You're out scamming for a mountain man
And I can't even hold a beer
When I'm drawing inward
I think you want to cuss me out
If you're the Dutchess of Ostentatious
Then I'm the Duke of Doubt

You look sexy when you smoke
I chew gum and almost choke
I hope I get you to laugh this hard
The next time I remember a joke

You're too beautiful
I feel sad for you

You say you've had a rough life
Mine's been pretty soft
At least up until the time when you and I tried to hit it
Off
You've heard pick up lines from many guys
You can pick anyone
I don't know whether to feel lucky
Or just too nervous to have much fun

You sound confident
I'm already spent
I had ears to hear your whole life story
But I don't know where they went

You're too beautiful
I feel sad for you
Sad for me too

You get me smiling when you read to me
I've heard you emphasize
The little voice - that's the wildebeast
The hedgehog one - that's high
I've known you for nine hours
Last night since I don't know when
We've had our ups and downs
But now I hope we're up for ten

You tell me that I'm smart
Fun to hang out with
But when you get to the part where you say I'm a nice guy
I'm already catching the drift

You're too beautiful
I feel sad for you
Sad for me too

[Seareach]

And now it's a time for another Musical interlude by Seareach. Some Les Misérables...



On my own, pretending he's beside me.
All alone I walk with him till morning.
Without him I feel his arms around me.
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver.
All the lights are misty in the river.
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight.
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him.
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us.

I love him, but when the night is over,
He is gone, the river's just a river.
Without him the world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets
Are full of strangers.

I love him but everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending.
Without me his world will go on turning.
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known'
I love him, I love him
I love him, but only on my own.

[lucimay]

on the subject of musicals and in light of recent discussions on racial injustice, from Rogers & Hammerstein's South Pacific,


Cable:
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught

[Seareach]

Oooh! And here's South Pacific one from me and I think we should do it as a duet Cyn:

Seareach
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,

Seareach & Lucimay
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
And send him on his way.

Don't try to patch it up

Lucimay
Tear it up, tear it up!


Seareach
Wash him out, dry him out,

Lucimay
Push him out, fly him out,


Seareach
Cancel him and let him go!

Lucimay
Yea, sister!

Seareach
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.

If a man don't understand you,
If you fly on separate beams,
Waste no time, make a change,
Ride that man right off your range.
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams.

Lucimay
Oho! If you laugh at different comics,
If you root for different teams,
Waste no time, weep no more,
Show him what the door is for.
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams.


Seareach
You can't light a fire when the woods are wet,

Lucimay
No!

Seareach
You can't make a butterfly strong,

Lucimay
Hmm, hmm!


Seareach
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good,

Lucimay
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong!
You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower,
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour

Lucimay
Oh no! Oh no!

Seareach & Lucimay
If his eyes get dull and fishy,
When you look for glints and gleams,
Waste no time,
Make a switch,
Drop him in the nearest ditch!
Rub him out of the roll call,
And drum him out of your dreams
Oho! Oho!


Seareach
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
And sent him on his way.

Lucimay
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,

Seareach & Lucimay
And send him on his way!

[lucimay]

what a great idea!!!

lets do another one!!

[Sea]

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.

[Cyn]

Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Love

[All on The Watch]

What I did for
Love

[Sea]

What I did for...

[All (adding more voices each phrase)]

Love
Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember

[Cyn]

Kiss today goodbye.

[Sea]

And point me t'ward tomorrow.

[All]

We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.

[Sea]
What I did for love

[Cyn]
What I did for love

[All]
What I did for love

[Seareach]

OMG! That's brilliant!

And now I'm getting weepy coz remember you and me driving up into the mountains, that first day leaving SF and we listened to the musical station on the radio... <sob>

Let's do this one:


Seareach
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?

Lucimay
Oh so good
Oh so fine

He can't be mine?

Seareach
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me --
More security

Lucimay
He needs his fantasy
And freedom

Seareach
I know him so well.

Lucimay
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.

Seareach
Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way

Lucimay
Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently

Learned about the man
Before I fell

Seareach
I was just a little
Careless maybe

Lucimay
But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least

Seareach
Now at least
I know him well

Seareach & Lucimay
I know I know him well

Lucimay
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness

Seareach
Oh so good
Oh so fine

Seareach & Lucimay
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

Lucimay
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?

Seareach
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

Luicmay
He won't be mine?

Seareach
But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me --
More security

Luicmay
He needs his
Fantasy and freedom

Seareach
I know him so well

Luicmay
It took time to understand him

Seareach & Lucimay
I know him so well

[Vader]

Not always in the mood for it, but there was a time when "Some Kind of Stranger" by The Sisters of Mercy menat a lot to me:

Some Kind of Stranger

And yes I believe in what we had
But words got in the way
And only yesterday
As I was leaving
Lord knows I've tried to say but I've
Heard a million conversations
Going where they've been before
Seen the way that careful lingers
Undecided at the door

CHORUS
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch

All my words are secondhand and
Useless in the face of this
Rationale and rhyme and reason
Pale beside a single kiss
And I've heard so many things I
Fail to understand at all
I'd settle anytime for
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside

CHORUS

Because the world is cruel and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the
Real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me
Look into your eyes
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

Avenue Q - There's A Fine, Fine Line

There's a fine, fine line
between a lover, and a friend.
There's a fine, fine line
between reality, and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top
if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time

There's a fine, fine line
between a fairy tale, and a lie.
And there's a fine, fine line
between "you're wonderful" and "goodbye".
I guess if someone doesn't love you back
it isn't such a crime

But there's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of your time

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line
between together,
and not.
And there's a fine, fine line
between what you wanted,
and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want
while you're still in your prime.

There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time.
