i told kathleen i'd write this song the first time i saw "the phantom of the opera" with her. here it is
SYMPATHY FOR THE PHANTOM Since the moment I first heard you sing I’ve needed you with me, to serve me, to sing I wait in shadows; a hideous fiend Longing for the heaven of my own Christine You see my face and draw back in horror God! Why can’t you see that I adore her? Since the moment I first heard you sing I’ve needed you with me, to serve me, to sing I wait in the shadows; a hideous fiend Longing for the heaven of the angelic Christine Daae You see my face and draw back in horror God! Why can’t you see that I adore her? You will curse the day you did not do All the phantom asked of you! I gave you my music Made your song take wing Now how you’ve repaid me Denied me and betrayed me And tough you have passed on My love lives on for the rest of these days I leave you my rose wrapped in a black bow Laying at your grave Insolent boy This slave of fashion How could this fool Outshine my passion Those who speak of what the know Find that prudent silence is wise Hold your tongue Keep your hand at the level of your eyes Since the moment I first heard you sing I’ve needed you with me, to serve me, to sing I wait in the shadows; a foul and hideous fiend Longing for the heaven of the angelic Christine Daae You see my face and draw back in horror God! Why can’t you see that I adore her? You will curse the day you did not do All the phantom asked of you! I gave you my music Made your song take wing Now how you’ve repaid me Denied me and betrayed me And tough you have passed on My love lives on for the rest of these days I leave you my rose wrapped in a black bow Laying at your grave Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon! This is what you wanted to see? This is what you wanted to see? Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little viper! Now you cannot ever be free! Damn you! Curse you! X2 Masquerade Paper faces on parade Hide your face So the world will never find you I gave you my music Made your song take wing Now how you’ve repaid me Denied me and betrayed me And tough you have passed on My love lives on for the rest of these days I leave you my rose wrapped in a black bow Laying at your grave Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon! This is what you wanted to see? This is what you wanted to see? Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little viper! Now you cannot ever be free! Damn you! Curse you! X2 Masquerade Paper faces on parade Hide your face So the world will never find you (fades out) |

Amazing. Angry and dark and great word usage. It really makes a picture in your mind.
QUOTE I leave you my rose wrapped in a black bow Laying at your grave Ack, I love that! This is quite an awesome song. |

lol twas good. About 75% of the lyrics were actually from the movie or show. Just kinda moved around and fit together. The lyrical brilliance of Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe :) And of course Andrew Lloyd Webber...his music puts me in awe.
You should do one with just your words, i know you'd do well, i've read alot of ur other work. :) |
