I'v grown accustomed to the trace,
of something in the air...

We must think of a test
That sounds fair,
And looks fair,
And seems fair,
And ISN'T fair...

I'm holier than thou
I've got the spirit now.
I feel like I'm in heaven
Cause I'm holier than thou.


(another one of my favorite roles!)

Oh, Toto, there's no place like home.

"Bohemia is dead..."

More?!? You want more?!?

There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss

Attend the Tale of Sweeny Todd.

No other road
No other way
No day but today




(just to continue with the song :D)

"I fart in your general direction..."

"Here she is, from South America...Senorita Lolita...uhh...Banana!!!"

As you will someday doubtless write in that damned journal of yours,
elementary, my dear Watson.



-From Baker Street (1962)
Seems as though many of these lines were from
musicals staged before I was born.

Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you
Masquerade
Every face a different shade
Masquerade
Look around there's another mask behind you

Twice in every show
There comes a song like this
It starts off soft and low
And ends up with a kiss
Oh, this is the scene
That ends like this

It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown and
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plains

"He serves a dark and a vengeful god."
(god not capitalized, since I'm not sure what god they're talking about)

Take me to a zoo,
That's got Chimpanzee,
Tell me on a Sunday,
Please.

More from Sir Andrew:

Moving on...

"Dreams the way we planned them,
If we work in Tandem,
There's no fight we cannot win..."

The hills are alive with the sound of music

"Seems quite unbelivable to me,
I don't want to live like that..."

Tips. HA! Tips are for people like captains and Barmen.
For them, it's the tips, see,
for me I'm a gypsy.
Just toss me a coin and I suddenly feel like I'm Carmen.

You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin'
You'll never win
That's when the grin should start

"This may not be the moment,
to tell you face to face,
but I could wait forever,
for the perfect time and place..."

Charlie Brown has what we call a "failure face".
Notice how it has "failure" written all over it.

Join us, leave your fields to flower,
join us, leave your cheese to sour,
We've go magic to do, just for you,
we've got miracle plays to play...

"I'm goin' outside to have a nice cold beer in the shade.
Gonna listen to my 45's,
Ain't it wonderful to be alive,
when the rock and roll plays?"

Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....
Prepare ye the way of the Lord....

I just saw Godspell!! It was really good :)

Sons of toil and danger,
will you serve a stranger,
and bow down to Burgundy.

Oh, dear Lord,
Three things I pray.
To see thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
Follow thee more nearly,
Day by day.

So stay with me and hold me tight,
and dance like its the last night of the world.

(OK, to stay with Godspell for a moment...)
"You better attention,
build your comprehension,
there's gonna be a quiz
at your ascension..."

OK wrong thread, but I can't resist!

First you get down on your knees,
fiddle with your rosaries,
bow your head with great respect,
and genuflect, genuflect, genuflect.

How very tacky! But effective.


Moving on...but not from the musical of the same name...

"Because I knew you,
I have been changed for good..."

That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory

Some folks dream of the wonders they’ll do
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don’t have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now I don’t say who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you

not to mention any threat of hell...
you better start to learn your lessons well

<3 Godspell!



now to totally switch gears...

This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way

Oh, the thinks you can think
Think and wonder and dream-
Far and wide as you dare!

What I want? That's easy asshole -
I want a job
I want to feel like a person instead of a slob
I wanna wake up knowing where I'm gonna go
Not going nowhere
Wandering the streets of Buffalo
'Cause it's a slow town
When you don't know where to go
