So, a song for Mary. To the Tune of 'Common People' by Pulp. A work in progress, so feel free to suggest changes. Many of the lyrics below are un-edited from the originals as yet.
- She came from Earth she had a spark of genius,
- she studied magic on the Plane of Darkness,
- that's where I,
- caught her eye.
- She told me that her friends would save her,
- I said "In that case I'll put your soul in danger."
- She said "Fine."
- and in thirty seconds time she said,
- "I want to live like demon people,
- I want to do whatever demon people do,
- I want to sleep with demon people,
- I want to sleep with demon people,
- like you."
- Well what else could I do -
- I said "I'll see what I can do."
- I took her to a ritual circle,
- I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
- so it started there.
- I said pretend you've got no soul,
- she just laughed and said,
- "Oh you're so cool."
- I said "yeah?
- Well I can't see anyone else evil in here.
- Are you sure you want to live like demon people,
- you want to see whatever demon people see,
- you want to sleep with demon people,
- you want to sleep with demon people,
- like me."
- But she didn't understand,
- she just smiled and held my hand.
- Summon up some planar doors,
- Grow some fins and get your claws
- Cast some spells and steal the girl,
- pretend you never saved the world.
- But still you'll never get it right,
- cos when you're in your cell at night,
- stripped and chained to the wall,
- if you call Rupert he'll rescue you all.
- You'll never live like demon people,
- you'll never do what demon people do,
- you'll never fail like demon people,
- you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
- and dance and drink and screw,
- because there's nothing else to do.
- Sing along with the demon people,
- sing along and it might just get you through,
- laugh along with the demon people,
- laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
- and the stupid things that you do.
- Because you think that Hell is cool.
- I want to live with demon people,
- I want to live with demon people etc...
Very amusing :D My one quibble is how anyone can say "Common people" by William Shatner!!!!! The original is a truly awesome song by Pulp. Surely it deserves to be attributed there? :D
- I think you'll find that edit was made by 'Internet', i.e. one of our friendly neighbourhood trolls. --ChessyPig
