Ok so I bet you didn't expect to see me up here did you?
This is from Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion and I just think it fits...
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Bloody Hell that Tash girl does a lot of singing, how you gonna just choose one or two for Musical LABN Heather?? ;)
Karaoke Bar
It was a big project to do before work, Heather, and I was madly dowloading and compiling the list. The biggest reason a song didn't make it was I couldn't find it on IMESH. I tried to get everything listed...but not all litsted was available. It's not perfect.
And Lou's right: Tash does do a lot of singing. 8) I liked her songs, though, what I was able to download. I'm hearing a lot of new music that I wouldn't have had it not been for this thread. I don't listen to the radio. I prefer recommendations.

Hehe, just wait until the cast party in LA. I plan on singing them all... :twisted: Bruhahahaha... a captive audience. :D

Hey the last post made me think of a great song for Kate to sing to Galen...
Secret Agent Man
"There's a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.
With every move he makes,
Another chance he takes.
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.
Chorus:
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number.
And taken 'way your name.
(Look out!)
Beware of pretty faces you may find.
A pretty face may hide an evil mind.
Ooh, careful what you say:
Don't give yourself away.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
Chorus
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number.
And taken 'way your name.
You're sunnin' on the Riviera one day,
Then bleedin' in a Bombay alley next day.
Oh, don't let the wrong word slip.
While kissin' persuasive lips.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
Chorus
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number.
And taken 'way your name.

Kimberly Stockholm, Kimmie's deceased "mentor" (never written about in post-reality) can't make it tonight, seeing as she's dead and all. But she sends a cassette tape from the hereafter-whatever-realm . It's a little warbly, but it sounds something like this:
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Now it's Ellie's turn at singing her theme song--sung to Jess and Will. Boss of Me by TMBG.
Yes, no, maybe
I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is unfair, so I just stare at the stain on the wall where
The TV'd been, but ever since we've moved in it's been empty
Why I, why I'm in this room
There is no point explaining
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is a test, and I confess
I like this mess I've made so far
Grade on a curve and you'll observe
I'm right below the horizon
Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is unfair

Seraphis rises from the morgue and takes the stage. He doesn't sing his own song, though. He's accompanied by a wall of Palmer-esque backup singers, all in black, all with pasty faces and ruby red lips. These girls sway from side to side, and one of theme pipes up like Shirely Bassy and sings to a slow drum and twangy bass:
Evil
Evil is his one and only name
Evil
In his mind there is no other game
When your name is Evil that is good
Or so you think
But you're so very wrong
It's evil
But being wrong is right
So then you're good again
Which is the evilest thing of all
Do you find his subtle ways invite you
Does he excite you?
If his contradictions should attract you
Should he distract you
Heaven help you then
You're finished, it's the end
There'll be no retrieval
From the evil
The evil he will do
He's evil
He's Dr. Evil
His name is Evil
Dr Evil, a satirical song from Austin Powers II: The Spy Who Shagged Me and from, yes, yes, yes, TMBG.
Karaoke Bar
By the way, Hannah, I knew it was meant as a vampire song, but I wanted to remember who sang it, so I stuck the coldling thing in there for my own purposes.
and yes I've downloaded all those songs. And more, just to please Heather. 8)

Boy, I'm dominating this thread. But when Sid's on a mission, he never rests!
Tash/Heather is now singing
Dysfunctional
Be the Man
Just a Little Bit of Love
Us
True Colors
Kate's singing Secret Agent Man
Seraphis is singing Dr. Evil
Professor Stockholm is singing How Soon is Now
And I promise I'm going to stop wasting space. Mostly I wanted Heather to know I found most of the songs she requested (I thought she might take my whip from me.) :wink:
But keep the songs coming when they strike you as appropriate.

Lucien, up in 'Heaven' sings a song to his beloved, Kate. *sob* :(
Heather Nova - Believe In Angels
Where the silence falls
There the river runs deep
Where the shadow ends
So begins the dream
Where the hunger leads me
It's hard to believe
I'll be lost to you
It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
Yeah, I'm afraid to breathe
An' I'm lost to you
Yeah, I'm lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
Hold me under
Let the river wash away my sins
Let me drown and you
Let the water and the love rush you
You can hear me whisper
When you're listenin'
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
I long to believe
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
Oh- through the city of angels....

This is probably the only perfect song I've chosen. All the lyrics apply, as if the character really did sing them. Mariah sings it to Sam (or anyone else she cares to entice into the dream world).
Your life is the same
Day after Day
Everything that you do
You do the same old way
I can show you the world in a different light
Keep your heart to yourself
Give you soul to the night
Come to me...when you're lonely
Come to me...when you need something new
Come to me...when you're restless
Cuz I've got something just for you
Just for you
From an unknown band...off the Fright Night soundtrack.

It's starting to get bad when every song you hear you start imagining various LABN characters singing it. Anyway, Henna, Poplar Avenue's resident DG takes the mic...
Pure Tone - Addicted to Base
I got two pale hands up against the window pane
I'm shaking with the heat of my need again
It starts in my feet, reverbs up to my brain
There's nothing I can do to revert the gain
I'm looking down to the street below
There's nothing in the way they move to show
They too, know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below
Listening to the radio I feel so out of place
There's a certain something missing that the treble can't erase
I know you can tell just by looking at my face
A word about my weakness
I'm totally addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
Totally addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
(Wow woah ho)
There's nothing I can do to be cool
I don't sleep 'til I've had my fuel
It frustrates if I am deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
I feel like I'm doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a rhythm sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
The solitary silence of a faceless crime
Standing by the stereo I'm feeling so alone
My back against a speaker and I'm moving on my own
Surrounded by so many and they're staring at my face
They're picking up my problem
I'm totally addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
Totally addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Wow woah ho
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Sunrise at my window, I look down on the street
People I see everywhere are tapping their feet
Suddenly I realise in a look that I was wrong
Everybody's groovin' to their own song
Down at the scene below
There's something in the way they move to show
They too, know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below
Rhythm's running over me to wash away my fears
The backbeat of humanity it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
No need to feel so lonely, everyone's addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
Everyone's addicted to bass
Wow woah ho
Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Your bassline
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Your bassline
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind...

Bjork - Aeroplane
"I can not live
Peacefully without you
For even a moment
I miss you terribly
When you're away
He's away
This ain't right
I'm alone
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart
How come
Out of all the people in the world
Only one
Can make me complete
One word on the phone
Makes me happy
But one touch directly
Makes me ecstatic
He's away
This ain't right
I'm alone
I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world
To follow my heart"

I must say I'm glad to see we've got another Bjork fan on the board. Ever see her movie Dancer in the Dark? I mean, Jesus Louisus, man! You'll cry for days. I showed that movie to karie and Lakeia and they were crying so hard I thought they were going to kick me out of the apartment for making them watch it.

It might not be correct protocol to post a song on behalf of another player, but I recently heard this song and just thought of Galen, I think the first verse will show why.. :)
Richard Ashcroft - Check the Meaning
When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will subside
And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath
And wonder what I'll find
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love
(The human condition, the human condition)
Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set
There's got to be something more
When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ
Are knocking down my door
I'm agnostic getting God, but man
She takes a female form
There's no time, no space, no law
We're out here on our own
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Check the meaning
(The human condition)
Check the feeling
(The human condition)
Guess it's life, doing it's thing
Making you cry, making you think
Yeah life, dealing it's hand
Making you cry and you don't understand
Life, doing it's thing
Making you cry now, making you think of
Pain, doing it's thing
Making you cry yeah, making you sing
Don't say it, don't say it's too late
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late, it's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late
The human condition, the big decisions
The human condition, the big decisions
I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree
I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel
I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning)
I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond)
I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning)
That's my reality
And while the city sleeps we go walking
It's a beautiful world
And when the city sleeps we go walking
We find a hole in the sky and then we start talking
And then we say "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Buy us some time, buy us some time"
Hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
It's gonna be alright

The only protocol for this thread is
1) The song must remind you of either LABN, a character, a player, Buffy, Angel, or Los Angeles.
2) You must supply the lyrics, the title, and the artist
3) You must ignore none, some, or all of these protocols
Karaoke Bar
Well when I started the thread what I really had in mind was music for LABN rather than anything to do with Buffy and Angel. And beyond that it was maybe to gain a bit of lyrical inspiration for the eventual Musical LABN episode (oh come on we all know it's got to happen!)
I thought it would be fun to see our character's emotions/feelings expressed through song. But I also figured some songs would be a nice back drop to Los Angeles to set our scene.
Only I didn't want to upset anyone by posting a song on behalf of their character. Which is why I explained my reasoning at the begining of my last post, not really in need of validation but thanks anyway Sid :P
Karaoke Bar
Heheh. Sorry. Didn't mean to get all High and Mighty on you. I just feel as though I've adopted this thread, as misguided as that is. It's my baby. I'm working on my 3rd CD, and I appreciate all the input.

From blackness, a spotlight. The stage holds a bed, and from the bed, Brinkley Davis is frowning, thinking:

Thanks to Adam, who got me looking at my Enya cd's.... This one's dedicated to Ohenewaa, may she live forever. :roll:
Tash approaches the microphone in Caritas as though in a daze and begins to sing "Evening Falls".
When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
As I walk there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can follow.
carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
Forever searching; never right, I am lost
in oceans of night. Forever
hoping I can find memories.
those memories I left behind.
Even though I leave will I go on believing
that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home - feeling oh, so far away.
Karaoke Bar
And the reason she was looking at Enya CDs, is I mentioned this one fitting Victor before meeting Tash.
Pilgrim
Pilgrim, how you journey
On the road you chose
To find out where the winds die
And where the stories go.
All days come from one day
That must you must know,
You cannot change what's over
But only where you go.
One way leads to diamonds,
One way leads to gold,
Another leads you only
To everything you're told.
In your heart you wonder
Which of these is true;
The road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.
Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
In you?
Each heart is a pilgrim,
Each one wants to know
The reason why the winds die
And where the stories go.
Pilgrim, in your journey
You may travel far,
For pilgrim it's a long way
To find out who you are...
Pilgrim, it's a long way
To find out who you are...
Pilgrim, it's a long way
To find out who you are...

The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
I see a red door and I want it painted black,
No colors anymore I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes,
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black,
With flowers and my love, both never to come back.
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away,
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black,
I see my red door and I want it painted black.
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts,
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue,
I could not forsee this thing happening to you.
If I look hard enough into the setting sun,
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.
I see a red door and I want it painted black,
No colors anymore I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes,
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
I wanna see your face painted black, black as night.
Don't wanna see the sun flyin' high in the sky.
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah!

Here's a bitter little song to be sung by someone who is suffering unrequited love and all the while is forced to watch the eternal sap dripping off of Kate and Galen, or Tash and Victor, or Sorrow and Jade.
Joe Jackson's Fools in Love
-------------------------------------------------
Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again
Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Inspired by some of Tash's interesting behavior this season, let us picture a dark kareoki room. It's 10:00 AM, but the thick, dusty curtains are drawn. There are footsteps moving up the aisle. Someone coughs in the audience.
Suddenly there is light!
Tash grins upon the stage, grabs the mic, and waltzes out of the spotlight. A kick and a slam later, the audiece is blinded by the light of morning coming through the utility door. She glances out into the alleyway, then back at the audience. Kicking her legs like the leader of a marching band, she sings into the mic.:
Bad bad boys aha
yeah ah ha, yeah ah ha, ah ha
bad bad boys, come with me, come with me
I feel positive
this time, I wan't to go away ah ha
bad bad boys, come with me, come with me, yeah
Hi it's me, if you know what I mean
I said it's me, my name is [Tash-ee] and I want you to see
that positive people live longer
don't be negative (negative)
just be positive (positive)
Chorus
You keep on asking me
why can't we be together
I thought we had forever
I thought we love each other
some other day strong, now I feel alone
I'll know someway and I'll know someday
Chorus
I like it like it is
and I like it like it was
but I'm not so sure anymore, anymore

Sam takes the mic to whine about Kimmie, who's back with Hesch:
Joe Jackson's Is She Really Going Out With Him?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee goes cold
Look over there (where?)
There, there's a lady that I used to know
She's married now or engaged or something so I'm told
Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here
Tonight's the night when
I go to all the parties down my street
I wash my hair and I kid myself,
I look real smooth
Look over there (where?)
There
Here comes [Kimmie] with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
And so there goes your proof
Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here
Around here
But if looks could kill
There's a man there who is marked down as dead
'Cause I've had my fill
Listen you
Take your hands from her head
I get so mean around the scene
Hey, hey, hey
Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here
Around here
Something going wrong around here
Something going wrong around here
Something going wrong around here
Something going wrong around

I always imagine Star Trek type music playing during the fight scenes - you know from that episode (i'm talking the original star trek here) where Kirk and Spock are fighting with those weapons that look like a triton?
Jim Carey sing the music in Cable Guy when they're doing that fight in Medieval Times - it's well funny! :D
Karaoke Bar
I know the music you're talking about. Good stuff.
But once they played my beloved Prodigy in Charlie's Angels (a movie I can take or leave, despite the fact that I somehow own it on DVD), I knew I'd come home. That song IS fight music, Louisa.
Even moreso than Star Trek's

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Eriantha slinks up to the microphone and glares at Tash sat in the audience, then she casts her gaze over to Victor and begins to sing...
Kylie Minogue - Come into My World
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love
Take these arms that were made for lovin'
And this heart that will beat for two
Take these eyes that were meant for watching over you
And I've been such a long time waiting
For someone I can call my own
I've been chasing the life I'm dreaming
Now I'm home
I need your love
Like night needs morning
So won't you?
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love
Na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na
Take these lips that were made for kissing
And this heart that will see you through
And these hands that were made to touch and feel you
So free your love
Hear me I'm calling
Oh baby
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love
Ooooooh, I need your love
Like night needs morning
Oh baby
Come, come, come into my world
Won't you lift me up, up, high upon your love

hmmm... just thought this song was quite apt for galen, him being such a paranoid character and all... hehehe...
Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the twilight zone
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I'm trying to avoid
But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid
When I'm in the shower I'm afraid to wash my hair
Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why...
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me it can't be
I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
Well is the mailman watching me
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now--- (BOOO!) -The IRS?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I can't enjoy my tea!

Was litening to my Lene Marlin ALbum and suddenly realised that this song is soooo Manthy/Maria. observe:
(Lene Marlin - The Way We Are )
"I watch you growing sometimes I see myself - in you
It can be scary but kinda funny too
I hear you talking
A lot of similarities
Your choice of words
And all the fantasises
Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just
Won't go to sleep
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still it's not
Really a weep
I know you fooled me
A million times
I just can't help it
Don't know why
Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
I know you hate it but they really have to do
What they do
You're crying out your wishes I understand
Yet they don't have a clue."
see?

Tempest comes back from the dead for one last sing song...
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasantly caving in
I come undone
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh
(Ellie does rocking guitar solo)
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
No one knows

BTW John sent me a sample of that Star Trek fight scene music - it was sooo funny! Now I read all their 'combat' with that song playing :D
It also made me think of another song, actually it's the theme to the 'Odd Couple' whenever I read a Reah/Sam scene :D
Dum de dum de dum
dum de dum dum de dum dum...

Great, now I've got the Star Trek battle music stuck in my head!
Which is rather annoying, since it's not mixing with the battle themes from Robotech, and creating a rather bizarre mix. :)

Vicasha sings in a deep satin smooth voice like a female Tony Bennett (that is 9 feet tall and has horns)
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin

Doppelganger Tash talkes to Lorne in Caritas on the evening before she is caught in a crypt...
Tash swirled her drink, the ice cubes melting nin a glass that had not even been tasted. "Its like this, Lorne, I have these feelings. Urges. I don't know where they are coming from, but they are making me do things I really don't like myself for."
Lorne smiled sweetly, "Doll, thats okay. All of us have times when we are not ourselves. We are contanty redevining ouselves as our lives pogress. Look at me! I used to be a failure at life. Now I have one of the hottest clubs in LA" His broad showman-like gesture made her chuckle.
"Whatever, I just hope you can help me understand what is happeneing to me" Tash lew him a kiss as she climbed the stage. The funky beat started and Tash seemed caught up in the music. She peeled off her gloves and grabbed the mic...and moaned in exstacy as the feelings, hopes, fears and emotions of hundreds of singers in Caritas washed through the mic and into her...
She began thrusting her hips to the rythmn and sang...
You let me violate you. You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you. You let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides. Help me I've got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me. Help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation. You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith. You can have my everything
Help me you tear down my reason. Help me it's your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect. Help me become somebody else
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach. Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
["Closer" By None Inch Nails]
Tash was wallowing on the stage as the final bits of the song faded. Lorne was staring with jaw agape and red eyes like saucers. His hair seemed to be standing on end (more than usual). Tash rolled off the stage. The crowd was silent; they too wanted to hear what Lorne had to say to this sexy young black woman.
Lorne swallowed hard. "Sometimes it's better to leave them wanting more, honey. I hope you ...um...work this out. But I can't help you."
Tash knocked her drink onto the floor and the tinkle of breaking glass made a few of the patrons jump. The silence was deafening as she stormed out. Tash wasn't happy, and more than one of the patrons decided that it might be better to stay here and drink for a few more hours rather than go outside.
Lorne just looked at the doorway and shook his head. "She wouldn't have beleived me anyway." he mumbled and too a long sip of his drink.

A very depressed Galen takes the microphone, and croons to Kate:
My heart is sad an' lonely
for you I sigh, for you dear only,
why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body an' soul!
I spent my days in longing
and wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body an' soul!
I can't believe it, it's hard to concede it
that you turn away romance
are you pretending, it looks like the ending
unless I could have one more chance
to prove dear . . .
My life a wreck you're making
you know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
body an' soul!
My life a wreck you're making
you know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
body an' soul!

After much soul searching Kate picks up the microphone and sings to... an answermachine? Damn I hate these things!
Vanessa Carlton - Pretty Baby
You light me up and then I fall, for you.
You lay me down and then I call, for you.
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few.
I'd let it all come down and then some for you.
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm.
For you're the sun that breaks the storm.
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound.
As long as you keep coming round.
Oh pretty baby.
And I know things can't last forever.
But there are lessons that you'll never learn.
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt.
So how's it you that makes me better?
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm.
For you're the sun that breaks the storm.
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound.
As long as you keep coming...
Why can't you?
Hold me?
And never let me go.
When you... touch me.
It is me that you own!
Pretty baby
Oh the place that you hold...
In my heart
Would you break it apart?
Again?
Oh pretty baby
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm.
For you're the sun that breaks the storm.
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming round!
Pretty baby
Why can't you see?
Pretty baby
Don't you leave me

Was listening to random music (like I do) when suddenly I thought *ooh, I shall go look up the lyrics for this song....* so I did, and I thought it would be quite good if Manthy and Mik did a duet. <<< that is the colour scheme for who's singing by the by. Also kinda like a musical argument between them with all the ups and downs and stuff... i get it....
Today I woke up and you were gone
The whole day wondering what I did wrong
It's like I'm falling from a mountaintop
My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop
Can you see this hell I'm living?
I'm not giving up
Will you crawl to me?
Will you fall with me?
I'll never crawl to you!
I've done it all for you!
Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you, needs you!
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you...
There goes a piece of me
Will I cease to be?
I've never lied to you!
Fought bled and died for you!
So don't deny
The hand that takes you, breaks you!
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you...
There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the-
Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you, needs you!
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you...
Will you crawl to me?
Will you fall with me?
I've never crawled to you!
I've done it all for you!
