The Best of All Possible Universes, or A Little More Than Kin and Less Than Kind Cupcake/Kirk
To me, this is the Cupcake song.
"Rent A Cop" Ben Folds
I'm 'trolling food court for girls
Yeah, it's the best job in the world
They know they're safe with me
They love my little mustache
They love a man in uniform
Kirk and Cupcake meet in one of their many bar room brawls.
"Hello City" Barenaked Ladies
It's 3 O'clock in the morning and I'm hungry so let's eat
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
And the bar-fights, we're just taking in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed
Before proposing, Kirk vomits and breaks out in hives.
"Laughing Out Loud" The Wallflowers
Man, you oughta finish what you've started
You can't leave me here alive
Well I know it started as a fist fight
But you've got me covered up in hives
I don't need an invitation
The best peach is at the top of that tree
But when all this indecision reigns
So aimlessness that helps me see straight
In some ways, Cupcake can't believe that Kirk wants to be with him.
"Monsoon" Robbie Williams
I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shape of insanity
Keeps leading you back to me?
T'Pring/Uhura
“You promised me that you wouldn't break my heart like he did. You said that you weren't into that Vulcan secrecy bullshit.”
"Heart of Glass" Skye Sweetnam
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
The first thing that attracted T'Pring to Uhura and vice versa? Competence.
"Short Skirt/Long Jacket" CAKE
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
"Never Let You Down" The Verve Pipe
I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground.
I'm getting to like this feeling I've found.
I'm getting to love
The thought of having you around;
And I will never let you down.
"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" The Jayhawks
It's the least I can do
Just to make you my baby
No words could describe
Pinch me I'm dreaming
Your hair's long and black
As it lays 'cross my pillow
When I stare in your eyes
I get lost in your glory
"As the matriarch of the Clan Pir and the sole member of the Clan Vhin, I, Lt. T'Pring Uhura, daughter of T'Zi, of Raal, hereby nullify the contractual obligation for a marriage between one Pir son and one Vhin daughter every forty years."
"Waiting" Green Day
I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything...at all
-
Dawning of a new era
Calling... don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost... I can embrace this
Feeling... on the tip of my tongue
Spock/M'Benga
“Listen to me, Spock. Whatever happens, I will always be your brother. And I will always love you. I know you can't say it back, but I know you love me, too. Just-you have to promise me, okay? Promise me that you will never undergo kolinahr.”
“I promise.”
“Good. Good. I'll find you, okay? I'll find you and tell you everything.”
"Wild World" Cat Stevens
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cos I never want to see you sad girl. don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
"To Spock, Sybok was the vengeful madman who was never around."
"You Weren't There Enough" Lucky Boys Confusion
You gave it away
Maybe I'm not old enough
You gave it away
Maybe I wasn't cool enough
You gave it away
Maybe you weren't there enough
Spock's behavior is constantly monitored by himself and others for any sign of human emotion.
"Nature of the Experiment" Tokyo Police Club
We've got our tracks covered
Thanks to your older brother
It's not the moonlight that sets me off
It's not the morning that makes me scoff
-
It's the nature of the experiment
It's the patterns of my temperament
It's the nature of the experiment
They're taking me in increments
"McCoy came back from lunch to find Geoff and Spock in exam one, rubbing their fingers together and smiling with their eyes. He did not want to know what that meant."
"Sweet Caroline (Glee Cast Version)" Glee Cast
Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But than I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along?
Hands, touching hands
Reachin' out
Touching me
Touching you
"When I suggested that we watch a movie, I meant just that. Unless you want-I don't want to pressure you into anything. Just because we almost doesn't mean we have to. You know I'm fine with waiting.”
"A Kiss is Not a Contract" Flight of the Concords
A kiss is not a contract
But it's very nice
Yes it's very nice
Just because you've been exploring my mouth
Doesn't mean you get to take an expedition to the south
He extended his index and middle fingers, which were kissed by Spock's.
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" The Beatles
And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
It´s such a feeling
That my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah you, got that something
I think you´ll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
Sybok/McCoy
Sybok under goes kolinahr at sixteen, but escapes after his seventeenth birthday and reveals the sometimes fatal rituals of kolinahr.
"Seventeen" Repo! The Genetic Opera
I've always longed for true affection
17!
But you compare me to a corpse
17!
Stay with the dead, I'm joining the living!
17!
-
Something's changing
I can feel it
I'm 17 now
Why can't you see it?
17, and you can't stop me
17, and you won't boss me
You cannot control me, father.
“What happened at Gol?”
“You don't know?”
“No.”
“What happened to everything I wrote? My papers?”
“I was unaware that you wrote about the experience.”
“They destroyed them, then. That's-it's good to know I was banished from paradise for nothing.”
"Free Radicals" The Flaming Lips
You think you're so radical
I think you oughta stop
(Say what)
But you're going international
They're gonna call the cops
-
You think you're radical
But you're not so radical
In fact, you're fanatical
Fanatical
The Vulcan High Council and other dignitaries banish Sybok from the planet, revoking his citizenship, stripping him of his titles, and excommunicating him from the Surakian seek.
"This Jesus Must Die" Jesus Christ Superstar OBCR
The man is in town right now to whip up some support.
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort.
-
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle wonderman, hero of fools.
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans.
One thing I'll say for him -- Jesus is cool.
"I've never had many people who care about or depend on me. I've been on my own since I was seventeen..."
"Baby Seat" Barenaked Ladies
You left your home town in the spring
And turned your back on everything
You thought your life would just go by
Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly
-
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
Sybok leapfrogs from planet to planet on Student visas, never putting down any roots or making connections with others.
"Family of Me" Ben Folds
How great I am
Gotta tell myself, yeah I'm the man
Looks grim right now
But pretty soon we'll be laughing about it
Oh, and it's all right
Yeah, it is, I swear you'll see
(It's not really)
Yeah, it's all right
'Cause I've always got my family of me
When they meet, McCoy and Sybok have done a wonderful job of screwing up their personal lives.
"Next Time" Barenaked Ladies
You can count on me to mess it up
You can count on me to let you down again
And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend
-
Comfort in community obliterated
Given opportunity I hesitated
Even my humility's humiliated
-It's a shame I have to wait until the ending
Everything I've yet to break is surely bending
Every vow I ever take is just pretending
That this mess I make is worth defending
"Rambunctious Boy" John Fogerty
My oh my I'm a restless guy
Got a home everywhere I go
Well I ain't good lookin'
And I ain't so smart
But baby I'm a sensitive guy
I ain't done everything there is to do
But I'll damn sure give it a try
“I can't do this anymore.”
“Do what?”
“Play wait-and-see with you. I can't keep biding my time, hoping you won't leave me in five years to meditate in Tibet or drop acid in Amsterdam.”
“Biding your time? Is that what you've been doing for the past three years?”
“I've been waiting for you to decide whether you're in this for forever, or just until the next best thing comes along.”
"Maybe This Time" Cabaret Revival Broadway Cast Recording
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
"Come Undone" Robbie Williams
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indecisive, so adamant
I'm contemplating, thinkin' about thinkin'
It's overrated, just get another drink and
Watch me come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone
So rock 'n' roll, so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well-trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to
If I stop lying, I'll just disappoint you
“Chocolate is kid's stuff. It takes far too much chocolate to get intoxicated. And it's fattening as all hell. As they say, candy is dandy,” Sybok filled their glasses, “but liquor is quicker. Salud.”
"Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" Rufus Wainwright
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker
A little bit harmful for me
-
Playing with prodigal songs
Takes a lot of sentimental valiums
“Spock, you didn't light any of the incense in the living room, did you? Because that's not incense.”
"The Prince of Parties" Flight of the Conchords
I'm the guru god of ganja
"The Ancient Commonsense of Things" Bishop Allen
There are those who know to look
Through all the crannies and the nooks
When I you dear, what it meant to me
Book to shelf, and foot to shoe
And likewise I belong to you
My heart is pounding loud, just like a timpani
“T'Pring said you were good publicity, which leads me to believe that the Enterprise is in the business of winning the hearts and minds of the natives.”
“By brainwashing them,” the doctor remarked flatly.
“Exactly.”
"We Started This Op'ra Shit!" Repo! The Genetic Opera
Everybody, everybody get down get down now! S-s-s-s-stand up!
Don't be shy! People, people, people! Get up, get up, get up!
Everybody, everybody test-i-fy!
Spock!Prime(/Eva Cárdenas de M'Benga/Apple Pie Motor Bike)
“In my timeline, the only reason we stayed together is because we had no one else. None of us had families outside of the Enterprise. Now, McCoy is with you. And Jim is with a person named after a dessert item. They'll leave to start families or to settle down, and my counterpart will be left alone.”
"The Way Things Used to Be" Peter Salett
I've got an old friend
Getting married this weekend
It does not seem like I'll be there
-
I wasn't always such a sucker
It's the sentimental me
Maybe I'm blowing my cover
But what I want to see
Is the way things used to be
Between you and me
The way things used to be
“I'm calling 5150,” M'Benga said outside Elder Selek's room in sick bay. “For Vulcan his age to drink that much Romulan ale, he had to be trying to hurt himself."
"A Fond Farewell" Elliott Smith
And I can deal with some psychic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
-
I see you're leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
-
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
Spock!Prime is placed in the care of M'Benga's hippie, commune-dwelling parents, who help him deal with his grief and guilt.
"Revolution" Robbie Williams
I'll talk you through memories
Just keep breathing with me
It's time to hold my hand
And walk into the revolution
When there's no one to touch
And you've been thinking too much
You only hurt yourself
When it's all about retribution
“Any word from Mr. Tall, Dark, and Alternate Version of Your Brother?”
“Yeah, he sent me a message the other day. He's doing good, still sober. M'Benga's parents think he hung the moon. I think he might be sharing their bed. He's started a cycle of erotic finger paintings. Says he has plans to do naked portraits of full-figured women.”
"Finale B" RENT Motion Picture Soundtrack
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
-
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
The Younger House of Surak
"Generation" Emerson Hart
We are the wind of change coming
We take a stand where so many never go
We will shout it out to let you know
This is my generation
We want an answer to the questions
We wanna knock down all the walls they built for you
We wanna know the truth not be lied to
We want to know the face of freedom
We want to make a place where we can learn to love
Build a world than we can be proud of
This is my generation
"Here Comes The Sun" Jewel and Rob Thomas
Little darling
It's been a long, cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
At the end of the story, all three have gained or realized their own power: Sybok is the last Vulcan Master, T'Pring is the most powerful Vulcan alive, and Spock has proved that ambiguity and residing between binary poles can be beneficial.
"The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" The Flaming Lips
Are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do
Exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself
Or what you'd really do
With all your power
Spock and Sybok struggle for dominance in the Mirror Universe. Or, rather, Spock struggles for dominance, while Sybok brainwashes everyone.
"Mark It Up" Repo! The Genetic Opera
Where the fuck is dad, brothers?
He left me in charge, sister
I don't take lip from a cunt.
I don't lip from a slut
My brother and sister should fuck--
Pavi, shut the fuck up!
I'm the smartest
And the toughest
I will find a hole and fuck it
If there ain't one
I will make one
Luigi don't take shit from no one!
One brain, mark it up
Only I got brains enough
That's why pop will leave Geneco to me!
Ask a gentern who they prefer
Ten-out-of-nine will say the Pavi
The moth dashing! Panty snatching!
I will leave your diapers dripping!
Two hearts, mark it up!
Pavi steals all the hearts!
