Mashup
In the shower this morning, I was thinking about the new "Les Miserables" movie. I had an intense Les Mis phase as a pre-teen.
And then I was thinking about my musical obsession a few year previous to Les Mis: Disney's The Little Mermaid.
And then my brain went to a crazy mashup place:
La Petite Miserable Siren.
The Little Miserable Mermaid.
I Dreamed a Part of that World
There was a time when men were kind
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
There was a time when love was blind
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
Up where they walk, up where they run
When hope was high, And life worth living
Up where they stay all day in the sun
I dreamed that love would never die
Wanderin' free
There was no ransom to be paid
wish I could be
Part of that world
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
As they tear your hope apart
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!
As they turn your dream to shame
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
He slept a summer by my side
warm on the sand?
He took my childhood in his stride
Proper women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And still I dream he'll come to me
Up where they walk, up where they run
But there are dreams that cannot be
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
So different now from what it seemed
Out of the sea
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Wish I could be
Part of that world
Do you Hear the People Sing Under the Sea?
Do you hear the people sing
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
Singing the song of angry men
Just look at the world around you
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
Right here on the ocean floor
Will you join in our crusade
Under the sea
Who will be strong and stand with me
Darling it's better
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see
Down where it's wetter
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
There is a life about to start
Under the sea
When tomorrow comes
Will you give all you can give
We got the spirit
So that our banner may advance
You got to hear it
Some will fall and some will live
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
Will you stand up and take your chance
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France
Under the sea
