FST: Gentleman Bastard Sequence: The Devil You Know
intro : You Are the Last Dragon - Murder By Death
[Fill up your mouth with smoke hourly and wash it down into your body these are directions that come with a tag you'll jerk awake when your name's called you can't tell the difference between seeing something new and breaking what you already have.]
Ordinary World - Get Set Go
[Another ordinary day
In an ordinary world
With ordinary boys fucking ordinary girls
In an ordinary time
So ordinary that we are losing our minds
So whatcha gonna do
The choice is up to you]
Every story needs a setting. This one? Camorr. Welcome to it. Charming little corrupt sinkhole of a city. But it’s perfect locale for…
Kids In America - Kim Wilde
[Come closer honey thats better,
Gotta get a brand new experience feeling right,
Oh, don't try to stop baby hold me tight,
Outside a new day is dawning,
Outside suburbia calling, everywhere]
…the Gentlemen Bastards. Dissatisfied young men, what? Well, the image fits, to some degree. And they’re certainly living it up.
Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel
[You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one]
Seduce who to what way of life? Or, you know, just general sweet talking. You know Locke’s good at it - or would be, if he made the effort.
Tristan - Patrick Wolf
[Forever young
I come from God knows where
'Cos now I’m here
Without a hope or care
I am trouble
And I am troubled too
My name is Tristan
And I am alive]
Locke Lamora himself. Young, wild, and free as hell. Or so it seems.
Holiday - Green Day
[I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday]
Rules are overrated.
Citizen of the Planet - Alanis Morissette
[Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred]
Locke, the traveler. Or at least, the worldly. Or at the very least, the pretends to be worldly. If nothing else, he knows Camorr.
Gone With the Wind - Blackmore’s Night
[Snow was falling
I could hear the frightened calling
Fear taking over every man
Life meaning nothing more than sand...]
Sometimes there are doubts. The beginnings of a sense of unease, and maybe the start of a bargain.
Center of the Universe - Kamelot
[Move slowly
Beyond the colors on my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony]
Miss Kiss Kiss Bang - Alex Sings Oscar Swings
[Mrs Kiss Kiss Bang, she’s not a fool
Extraordinary and oh so cool
When I feel the touch of her sweet lips
I know this is a devil’s kiss
She sets my soul on fire with no return
Oh baby, just burn, burn, burn]
I had to have one song for Sabetha on here. I chose this one for her. I like it. It fits, in a funny kind of way. :D
Looking Outside Inside - Anathema
[Twisted face of fading beauty
count the cost of suffering
cannot see the day before you
only feel what's deep inside
try to change it makes no difference]
Time Of Our Lives - David Usher
[I once saw a man on fire
Staring at his window
Watching as the flames grew higher and higher
I thought that i saw him cry
Or was he only laughing
As his life went rushing on…]
Locke, throughout life. This song has always fitted him for me.
Theseus - Patrick Wolf
[so once you've killed the minotaur
how you gonna find your way out of the maze
here the jealous hand of bitter men
carve the meat before the table is laid
and they are hungry, they are hungry for you]
Time - Aemen
[You, you always make me try.
to swallow all my pride.
It doesn't make it easier.
time when time is on youre side.
There's something on your mind.
It doesn't make it clearer.]
Dark Alan - Karen Matheson
[O hi shiubhlainn leat
Hi ri bho, ho ru bhi,
Hi ri bho, ho rionn o ho,
Ailein Duinn, o hi shiubhlainn leat]
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Vitamin String Quartet
[instrumental]
EdenEcho - Kamelot
[First you said that you would never leave me,
Merry were my days.
Then you told me life is never easy,
And left without a trace.
But how come I want you,
Like the soil yearns for the rain?]
The end of the Gentlemen Bastards.
Moondance - Nightwish
[instrumental]
Hard Times - Patrick Wolf
[Divided nation
In sedation
Overload of information
That we have grown up
To ignore...
Mediocrity applauded
Through these hard times]
Hero - Heather Dale
[You think if you set the price they'll turn me in
You think that when I'm up upon the pike you'll win
They'll say that I was fighting
For the spirit of the law
What will they say about you
When I'm gone]
When Locke’s on the side of the establishment, there’s something odd going on.
Fool’s Gold - Blackmore’s Night
[Cause when you've only Fools Gold,
you've got nothing more to lose...
Who holds the riches
The jester or the king?
A fortress made from Fools Gold
Or the tears that treasure can bring?]
This Ship’s Going Down - Voltaire
['Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together]
Wander - Kamelot
[Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night]
The Show Must Go On - Queen
[Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!]
Not finished with Locke Lamora yet. And you never are.
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
[No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive]
Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns - Star Trek Soundtrack
[instrumental]
Killing the Grey King.
If I Ever Lose My Faith In You - Sting
[You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do]
"Leave me, Jean. I’ll be dead…just a few minutes. They won’t get anything from me. You can still get away. Please…leave me.”
Jean’s face turned bright red - a red that showed even by the light of the alchemical globes - and his eyebrows arched, and every line in his face drew so taut that Locke found the energy to be alarmed.“That is a hell of a thing for you to say to me.”
This Game - One Star Story
[This empty feeling, blame it on me
Do I deserve this? I must deserve this
My soul is sinking; guilt watches me
What is my purpose? I must have purpose
So I stop and breathe]
Measure of a Man - Heather Dale
[The measure of a man
Stands or falls with what he leaves behind
Gather on the sand
Let your voices carry to the sky
Rise in light
Let the gods look down on this and wonder]
Requiem for Locke Lamora.
