60. paddy can sing. he also has tons of issues to sing about.
[Paddy is on deck. Doing an epic Queen solo. It's being videoed because a weird idea of showmanship has just taken him.
It starts with him just leaning against the railing, holding a cigarette and looking into the distance as he starts, softly, like he's singing to himself,]
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you,
How I cried... [At this point, he looks extra distant. Showmanship, I'm telling ya.]
[With increasing intensity] The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
I love you til I die.
[At this point he jumps up onto a nearby... bench. Yes, that. Now, he's imploring with you, audience. His cigarette goes flying at some point during this.]
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
[He looks up to the sky and continues, back to softly again, and now he's really singing with his hands]
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted,
All that love?
[He hangs his head] I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
[Now he tries to jump off said bench, but nearly loses his balance, ruining the effect a little as he stumbles. Not that this is putting him off singing.]
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, ooooohhhhh... [He throws his arms wide in a dramatic gesture]
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry I still believe the lie
I'll love you, 'till I die
[AIR GUITAR INTERLUDE]
Save me, save me, ohhhhhh, save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save me, save me, ooh...
I'm naked and I'm far from home
[He stops and looks at the camera, slightly dazed,]
That was directed at none of you. [Mainly because he knows who it IS about,] I need a drink.
