fandomtownies | Caritas - Thursday Evening [Open]

Sing.

GOB eventually wandered up to the stage as the place started to get more packed. There were fewer people up here.

This one goes out to all of the lovely ladies in the audience.

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time. No, no more time.
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Though I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
Because I know what it means
To walk along
The lonely street
Of dreams!!!

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
Because I know what it means
To walk along
That lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind I've made it up so hard.
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

Because I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Because I know what it means
To walk along
The lonely street of dreams!!!

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone...

Anakin thought this song was Very, Very Deep.

Anakin had had a bit to drink.

Anakin walked very, very carefully onto stage clutching Mr. Mimir Canute Fluffypants and had a word with the zombie band.

A very familiar guitar riff soon filled the room.

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Anakin looked a little depressed as he waited for the zombie band to continue their Kickin' Guitar Solo, then turned to Mr. Fluffypants, clearly expecting him to sing along.

Most people might find this insane.

Mr Canute Mimir Fluffypants had trouble with singing -- what with having no mouth and all -- but he still wanted to do his best with the karaoke. He bobbed up in down to squeak in time with the music, and if one knew the lyrics to the song, they would probably be able to sing along with his tune.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

Molly stumbled up to the stage and spoke quietly to the zombie band. They all looked a little bit more animated than usual when they heard the song she chose (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/lyrics/re-your-brains).

"This one goes out to my friends in the band," Molly said.

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

The zombies moaned along during the chorus.

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

The zombies joined in again and began to sway back and forth.

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

Molly stepped aside briefly so that one of the zombies could rock out on his guitar solo.

I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

The zombies stopped playing their instruments and clapped along during the chorus this time.

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

Molly bowed once. "Let's here it for the band!" she said and applauded them before finally leaving the stage.

Tyler was really impressed by the song. He grinned at Molly.

John wobbles up to stage and grabs the mic.

"This one goes out to my beloved wonder woman of mine." He grins and points somewhere in the directio of Aeryn. "I loooooooooooove you!"

"It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm waiting to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you!"

And he sings loudly, very highly pitched and does the moonwalk throughout the entire song.

Aeryn finishes her drink and orders another.

Rory took the stage, and selected a song she didn't know with a title that she figured probably meant the song would be a nice one for her to sing. She was a good girl, after all.

And surpprisingly enough, being incredibly drunk made Rory a better singer. Go figure.

"She's your adolescent dream
School boy stuff
A sticky sweet romance
An' she makes you want to scream
Wishing you could get inside her pants
So you fant'size away
While you're squeezing her
You thought you heard her say

'Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do...'

So you call her on the phone
To talk about the teachers that you hate
An' she say's she's all alone
An' her parents' won't be coming home 'til late
There's a ringing in your brain
'Cuz you coulda swore
You thought you heard her saying

'Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, but I dooooooooooooooooooo'

An' it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
'Til she's sitting" - Rory broke off giggling there for a moment

"You're alone with her at last
An' you're waitin' 'til you think the time is right
'Cuz you heard she's pretty fast
An' you're hopin' that she'll give you some tonight
So you start to make your play
'Cuz you coulda swore you thought you heard her saying

'Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, I should be telling you
Good girls don't, but I doooooooooooooooooooooooo'"

Anakin believed that this was possibly the Best Night Ever.

He applauded a lot.

Drink.

Anakin walked into the bar, looking back at Rory. "You're sure there isn't someplace else you'd rather go that has air conditioning? I'll even try to bowl."

"No, bowling is better with bunches of people. This'll be fun. I won't even force you to sing," Rory promised.
