Filks: cut for your convenience
OK. I am going to make a disclaimer here: The filks are actually behind the cut tags, uncut and unabridged. The reason why it's cut is to spare your f-page. If you'd rather the lyrics sent to you via email, drop me a message on yahoo, icq or something like that. Give me a call, even.
Author's note: I wrote this one at my dad's feet during the CMQ memorial filk circle. Couldn't think of anything, but she was the inspiration with an inscription she wrote on a CD label: Katy, you are strong and bright. Let no one diminish your inner light --- Cynthia McQuillin.
Only the Cons
© Kathryn D.Savitzky 2006
Tune: Original
Another day, another con has come and gone.
Now it's back to mundanity for me.
Remind me why I live again?
Chorus: For the cons, for the cons! I only live for the cons!
Now I know they do not last
At every one I have a blast
My voice is gone by con's end
-chorus-
Now filking is going 'til dawn
Though I wonder will it last all Con?
Are we going to bother getting sleep at all?
-chorus-
Food & sleep are always nice
I think the water needs more ice
Or perhaps I should switch to soda?
-chorus-
I dream of cons & I dream of song
Will I sing again before too long?
Or do I give up and go to sleep?
-chorus-
Time to sing, time to have fun
Was this the time for that awful pun?
I think I should switch to decaf...
-chorus-
End of con has had it's sing.
Oh dear, I think I've just been pinged.
One more song for me...
-chorus-
Another month away
What more is there for me to say?
Mundanity strikes again...
-chorus-
Final chorus: Sing to the cons, sing to the cons! I sing for the glory of cons!
Author's note: This one is long. I'm sorry. Hence why it's behind a cut tag. Anyways: Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as told through the eyes of the children. It's meant as a 4-parter. It can be done duet or solo, but it will sound really good as done in 4 parts. It starts out at the beginning of the movie and progresses through the rest of it.The names will be in italics and spoken stuff will be bold text. The sung stuff is all thought processes that went through my mind as I watched the movie. The chorus is between every 2 verses, the final refrain replaces the regular chorus and will always be sung by all.
Narnia's Civil War
© Kathryn D. Savitzky 2006 with final chorus provided by Andrea Partridge
Tune: original
Peter:
This war comes at a bad time
Things could be worse I suppose
Though how to tell where the time goes
Little did I know I'd get into a war of my own
Another place, another time.
Edmund:
Peter doesn't seem to understand
Lucy & Sue don't seem to know
How much I wish this war to end
I didn't know how much I needed
To be brave like Dad.
All
Hope is glinting from the shadows
Words of courage clearing my mind
Aslan is opening up my eyes
And warming up my soul
Susan
Peter tries to be like Dad
Ed's hard to handle
Lucy is always sad
I'm trying not to be bad
Lucy
The boys are mad we have to go
Sue's using logic to find out why
I can't remember Dad real well
Though I hope for their fighting
That the boys go to Hell
-chorus-
Peter
Now we're here on foreign soil
Aggravating boredom my siblings think
We can do whatever we please
Including eat up all the cheese
Edmund
Boredom strikes us, Hide-n-seek is child's play
Cricket's a boring game...Lucy's got some idea
In her head about a wardrobe...I played her game..
Pete thinks I've made it worse, and Sue agrees.
-chorus-
Susan
Ed hit it, we are in a wardrobe. Why does it snow here?
Why can beavers speak?
This is so illogical to me.
How can this be? How can a land exist inside the wardrobe?
Lucy
Here again, Tumnus is gone. In trouble and we must save him ---
Peter & Sue are reluctant, Ed thinks the faun's a criminal
But they do not understand --- I was the one that brought this fate
Damnit, we've got to set him free!
-chorus-
Peter
Now isn't this a pretty howdy-do my youngest sister's gotten us into? I don't want to go through with this, I don't think I've got a choice. Though I can't be dad, I wish for his wisdom, his courage and his strength? How do we save my brother now?
Edmund
I have left them, I now know what I've done
I have betrayed them, now they must hate me.
Jadis is evil, and I'm helping her kill them...
Aslan save me...I now know how I hurt them
I hope they find me before she kills me.
-chorus-
Susan
Being realistic aggravates my elder brother so, I think that he Doesn't know he isn't a hero. He's taking us to Aslan, the one who Can help us. Now we're in trouble as wolves think we're lunch.
He's got a sword and is afraid, though he's my brother and will Pull through!
Lucy: Now we're on ice, and now we are wet. I think this was Death
Losing a bet. We start to warm up, and now we come to Aslan's camp.
Aslan, you are our savior. You will help us...save us, and save Ed...he may be a pain, but he's still our brother...
-chorus-
Peter
We are now backed by an army, our only hope. I'm told it's mine to Command. I am afraid...my siblings are depending on me, my strength, my courage. I cannot fail them now. I do not think we're The ones...
Edmund
I only hope my family's safe. I hope I see them soon. I do not want To die here, will they save me before I do? Here come some from Aslan's camp....I am sorry for what I've done. Please forgive me and forget it.
-chorus-
Susan
What is past is past. He's forgiven and Aslan roams. Ed's a labeled A traitor by Jadis, and now our savior must pay the price for my Brother's mistake. Doom awaits, but I follow our lion where ever he Roams .
Lucy
The lion is dead? We are doomed...We need to tell them we've lost him...This is hopeless, we will fail. Now we are doomed since our savior is dead...
-chorus-
Peter Aslan is dead, this cannot be. I do not have the Strength to lead. Orius says we will win, my brother tells me they Will follow me, and so will he...How can I lead...? What hope do we Have now?
Edmund
Doesn't he believe me when I say I will follow? Doesn't he know he
Has to be strong? doesn't he know Narnia needs us? Doesn't he know
What Jadis can do? Did I not tell him enough? When will he believe he has the strength to lead?
-chorus-
Susan
In honesty, I cannot believe he has died. Wait--- Aslan rises! (Lucy & Sue both) Aslan! (Sue only now) Now there is hope again, the lion roars, and victory could be ours. Hope is not lost Now...
Lucy
Off to Jadis's castle, the psychotic bitch. Reason enough to raise My ire...she has frozen Tumnus! BITCH! Aslan restores him, the Others as well. Let's go ride to war.
-chorus-
Peter
No matter what the odds or the cost
I got this powerful feeling we have already lost
My men bring me the only light...
Please Aslan grant me the strength and courage to win this fight...
Edmund
Darkness blankets the night,
Making this a difficult fight.
Such a shame we cannot take flight
Though I will die against her....
-chorus-
Susan
Here we come to the rescue, ready to kill the one who
Freezed the land. She who has caused problems for them all
As we enter combat to save our brothers
My arrow makes an enemy fall.
Lucy
Here we are now on the combat-laiden ground. Their queen is dead, Our kingdom is saved, Edmund rising from the grave...wonder when he'll listen?
-chorus-
Peter
(to Edmund) When are you going to learn to do as you're told?
Now he's alive again, we have one the war. My family is alive, and I am king. King Peter Wolfsbane the Magnificent...has a nice ring to it, I guess....
Edmund
I don't think I'll ever learn, though I ended her reign of ice. I Am not a hero, just the one who changed Pete's mind...King Edmund the Just...
-chorus-
Susan
The fight is won, but it doesn't make sense. We are in an illogical place being crowned by illogical beavers and an imaginary faun...Which are all mythical....Queen Susan the Gentle...
Lucy
Now I find the battle done, my friend faun placing the crown upon My head. Aslan is leaving...will we see him again? Is it true he'll be coming back...? Does Queen Lucy the Valliant have a nice ring...?
All Final Chorus:
We are united to rule this land.
We are united, but not for long.
For as we ride our horses through the autumn-touched forest
We pass a sooty lamp post from a distant memory, and we topple Through a passage and onto the floor.
