Lessons from lyrics...

I recently have been drooling over all the songs in Love Never Dies. I think you would have noticed that by now, though. Well, you would have noticed it if you actually read the blog. But I don't think you do. I just write to calm down my nerves and stop twitching. (I don't actually twitch, just to let you know!)

Well, back to the songs. The lyrics, they are so poetic. I love them! And I can learn a lot from them, hence the title of today's post.

See? Read these:

Madame Giry (sotto voice to Christine):
You mustn't stay!

Christine (sotto voice to Madame Giry):
Why would I leave?

Raoul (sotto voice to Meg):
Why are we here?

Meg (sotto voice to Raoul):
Don't play naive!

All four:
What dear old friends!
Don't we all revere old friends!

Raoul:
Nothing has been changed.

Meg:
And never will.

Madame Giry and Christine:
Just rearranged.

All four:
And yet we're still such grand old friends,
Such devoted and old friends!
Words could not suggest what's in my heart--
And for the rest?

all the lyrics for Dear Old Friend can be found here.
Listen to it here.

LESSON: Even if you hate the 'friend', you must keep your social graces and act as if you love them.

Phantom: Of course. As you say, you've beaten me before, but that was a long time ago, Vicomte. And we were playing a different
game.

Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk - pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take he hindmost

Raul: Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous - horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost

Phantom: Our Christine shall choose tonight

Raul: Let her choose

Phantom: Is she yours or mine?

Raul: Draw the line

Phantom: If she sings you lose tonight

Raul: I won't lose

Phantom: You leave from here

Raul: Fine!

Find the rest of Devil Take the Hindmost here. The music is not uploaded yet... :(

LESSON: Never marry the guy with girly hair. He will turn into a gambling drunkard and make a bet with his enemy (The one you should have married) on your choice.

Fleck:

It's a funhouse where the mirrors all reflect what's real

Fleck and Gangle:

And reality's as twisted as the mirrors reveal

But the fun is finding out what the mirrors show...

I wrote this from memory, so I don't have a site... but you can listen to it here.

Gustave: Mother, please
I'm scared
What a dream
An awful dream
Someone strange and mad
Seething me and drowning me

Christine: Shh, Gustave, it's alright.
Come and meet
A friend of mine

Phantom: Welcome to my world
My friend

Christine: Gustave, this is Mr. Y

Gustave: This place is yours?

Phantom: Every inch of it
Tell me where you'd like to go
Tell me what you'd like to see
I can grant any wish

Gustave: Could you show me
If you please
All the island's mysteries
All that's strange
And wild and dark
In the shadows of the park

Phantom: You shall see it all tomorrow
I promise

Christine: Back to sleep now, Gustave

Gustave: Yes, mother

That is the whole song, no need for a lyrics link. How about the song?

LESSON: This makes no sense. Why would Christine bring her son to The Phantom when he has a nightmare. I don't know at all, but maaan, now I wish I was Gustave.

Note: Hopefully I will add more, but @ the moment I can't find any more.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS: The first case of beautiful insanity here and I just love the singer! (No, not the lady with the French accent, the ghostly singing girl. Frenchy is Madame Giry. Ghostie is Fleck, my fave <3>

I forgot.

My habits have come to haunt me. So many things have come up, schoolwork (I got ANOTHER C on my report card... ):), Birthdays, Childhood friends being totally SUCKISH and knowing that I wanted to see a certain movie with them in IMAX even though I have already seen it and she hasn't but then I found out that she went with someone VERY annoying without telling me but at least she didn't go with her B*^*(%%YS(^T of a friend that ruined her, Birthdays, Photo shoots with my sister, Suckish childhood friends (Same one!), Andrew Lloyd Webber TOTALLY ruining Meg and turning her insane and not having Erik cry at the ending....

Yeah, just all of that....

Sigh.

Well, I'm sorry. Please forgive me again.
