Welcome to Gaia! ::

This can be the place to post lyrics to songs that fit the ECC, character of the ECC, scenes, or that will make great ECC videos.

First Lyrics...

Not While I'm Around from Sweeney Tood [^o^]

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Am I the only one who comes on here?! XD This one is from The musical, The Producers. This screamed Destiny, but if I make an ECC video, this will be ever girl! XD]

Destiny: [sounding Swedish]
Ven you got it, flaunt it
Step right up and strut your stuff
People tell you modesty's a wirtue
But in the theatre modesty can hurt you
Ven you got it, flaunt it
Show your assets, let them know you're proud
Your goodies you must push
Stick out your chest, shake your tush
Ven you got it, shout it out loud
Now Desi dance. [dances]
Ven you got it, show it
Put your hidden treasures on display
Violinists love to play an E-string
But audiences really love a G-string
Ven you got it, should it!
Let the whole vorld hear vat you're about
Clothes may make the man
All a girl needs is a tan
Ven you got it, let it hang out!
Remember ven Desi dance?
ELI AND NA:
Yeah!
Destiny:
Desi dance again! [dances, Eli and ND watching Intently]
Ven I was yust a little girl in Sveden
My thoughtful mother gave me this advice
If nature blesses you from top to bottom
Show that top to bottom, don't think twice
Now Desi belt!
Don't think twice!
Ven you got it, share it
Let the public feast upon your charms
People say that being prim is proper
But ev'ry showgirl knows that prim will stop her
If you got it, give it
Don't be selfish, give it all a-vay
Don't be shy, be bold 'n' cute
Show the boys your birthday suit
Ven you got it, if you got it
Once you got it, shout out [dances] hooray!
[stops singing] Like it?
Eli: Like it? I want you to know my dear, that even though we are sitting down, we are giving you a STANDING ovation... [they cross their legs in pain]

Okay, this song is the guys of the ECC singing to the girl they are involved with.... well most of the guys anyway.... XD


Guys
Ooooo... It takes two
Doo doo, wop!

Danneh [to Dsetiny]
They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by your side
And so i will wait
Until that moment you decide

Danneh & Guys
That i'm your man
And you're my girl
That i'm the sea
And you're the pearl
It takes two, baby,
It takes two
Doo doo - wop!

Arcel [To Danielle]
A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper. Babe,
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me,

Arcel & Guys
I'm your king
And you're my queen
That no one else
Can come between
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

Guys
Don't you know

KD [To Danrie]
Lancelot had gweinevere
Mrs. Claus has old st. Nick
Romeo had juliet
And liz, well, she has her d**k

80's [To Gwen]
They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away

Tucker [to Lynn]
Just like frankie avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe,
To say the things 1 long to hear
So come closer baby,
Oh and whisper in my ear

ND [To Degona] [with guys accompinaing him]
That you're my girl
And i'm your boy
That you're my pride
And i'm your joy
That i'm the sand
And you're the tide
I'll be the groom
If you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby,
It takes two

Guys
It takes two, baby
It takes two
...Two - oo wah!

~Hairspray [I might make this into a video if I can figure out how! xP]

I haven't the faintest idea why, but this song reminds me of the characters in the ECC; how they don't really have any family or friends except each other. So this reminded me of what they might think to themselves sometimes - that they're "alone again, naturally."

Alone Again (Naturally) by Gilbert O'Sullivan

In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
