Song:

I Stand Alone by Steve Perry from Quest for Camelot

I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others fear
You are not to roam in this forgotten place
Just the likes of me are welcome here

Everything breathes and I know each breath
For me it means life
For others it's death
It's perfectly balanced
Perfectly planned
More than enough for this man

Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself
I stand alone

(cool little yodel)

I've seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise

Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself I stand alone
All by myself I stand alone
All by myself I stand alone

Song:

The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan
As featured in Watchmen


Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
Youll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin
Or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance wont come again
And dont speak too soon
For the wheels still in spin
And theres no tellin who
That its namin.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
Theres a battle outside
And it is ragin.
Itll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And dont criticize
What you cant understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin.
Please get out of the new one
If you cant lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin.

((I couldn’t find just the right song to fit his overly inflated ego (or at least, none that I was completely happy with lol) so I went with a song that shows just how self-centred he can really be xD ))

Song:
Why Does This Always Happen To Me? – "Weird Al" Yankovic

I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
About some devastating earthquake in Peru
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2

And I said, "God, please answer me one question?"
"Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?"
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed

Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head

And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk!
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work

Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba

Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner
And he told me I should buy another case
Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking
So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face)

Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again)
Oh, tell me

Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen to me?
(Why does this always happen to me?)
Why does this always happen to me?
(Why does this always happen to me?)

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba

((Went with a song to highlight how motherly she is, rather then one about how paranoid she can be xD ))

Song:
You'll Be In My Heart – Disney/Phil Collins

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

Song: A Lung - The Knife

I'm a crusader
I'm the darkest lady
I'm the taste on your tongue

I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
Cause I was born by the sun
The sun

You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality

You're a crusader
You're the darkest lady
I like the taste of your tongue

You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
And you were warmed by the sun
By the sun
By the sun
The sun

And I'm looking for you
And I'm glad I found me
A special kind of personality

When the spark goes out of you
It grows ten times bigger in me
I am your lung

I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
Cause I was warmed by the sun
By the sun
The sun
The sun

I was looking for you
I'm not glad I found me
A special kind of personality

Yes, you are the crusader
You are the lady
I want to chase your tongue

You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
You are like a lung
A lung
A lung
A lung

(And you were warmed by the sun) You're looking for me
(By the sun) But it's not what you seek
(By the sun) I've got a twisted personality
By the sun

You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality (A special kind of personality)

Song: Here Comes a Special Boy - Freezepop

Have you heard who's on his way?
I've been counting down the days
Finally we'll have some fun
He's got hugs for everyone.

Word is out and we can't wait
Things are gonna be so great
Once Philippe is on the scene
Everything is peachy keen.

Oh Philippe oh Philippe
You bring us very special joy
Dressed like a bumblebee
With your special kind of glee.

Oh Philippe oh Philippe
You're a very special boy
Cause you're squeaky clean
Standing on the drum machine.

When I'm sad, feeling blue
You're so rad, meeting you
When I'm down, you come through
Don't you frown, I've got you!

When I'm sad (Hugs!)
Feeling blue (Hugs!)
You're so rad (Hugs!)
Meeting you (Hugs!)
When I'm down (Hugs!)
You come through (Hugs!)
Don't you frown (Hugs!)
I've got you! (Huuugs!)

Here comes a special
Here comes a very special
Here comes a special
Here come a very special boy!

There are lots of boys around
The special ones are very rare
There aren't many to be found
We've been looking everywhere.

Things were starting to look bleak
Until we heard about Philippe.
We're in desparate need of cheer
Don't give up hope he's almost here!

Oh Philippe oh Philippe
You bring us very special joy
Dressed like a bumblebee
With your special kind of glee.

Oh Philippe oh Philippe
You're a very special boy
Cause you're squeaky clean
Standing on the drum machine.

When I'm sad, feeling blue
You're so rad, meeting you
When I'm down, you come through
Don't you frown, I've got you!

When I'm sad (Hugs!)
Feeling blue (Hugs!)
You're so rad (Hugs!)
Meeting you (Hugs!)
When I'm down (Hugs!)
You come through (Hugs!)
Don't you frown (Hugs!)
I've got you! (Huuugs!)

Here comes a special
Here comes a very special
Here comes a special
Here comes a very special
Here comes a special
Here comes a very special boy!

Song:
'I'm Old Fashioned' - Fred Astaire And Rita Hayworth
(Replace lads with lasses? x3; )


I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads

Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things

The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings

This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands

I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

(bridge)

I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please stay old fashioned with me

Song: Starlight - ELO

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
and the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away.

Song:
'Stargazer' - Kingdom Come


Sitting in the dark
Staring at the sky
Within all of heavens eyes
Wondering where and why
Who made all of this come alive
Who knows what will come in time

Ooh, just to know what's the reason for making us
Is what I would like to know
Ooh, just to know where we go when the earth is cold
We may never know

Stargazer
Stargazer
Live it out
Meet the maker

All the mystery dreams and fantasy
We touched on our way to see
Living day by day trying to getaway
Dream on to another space

Ooh, just to know that you are not the only one
Who is searching on
Ooh, just to know that beyond there is something more
For the rich and poor

Stargazer
Stargazer
Live it out
Meet the maker

Oh, soon you will meet the Maker
Stargazer
Meet the maker
Sooner or later
You meet the maker

Song:
'What Good Is Love?' - Pins and Needles
(Not on Youtube anywhere, sorry! Linked lyrics source instead.)


Everywhere I go
I hear sweet songs about the moon
Songs about the stars above
And songs of love and June
Songs of hearts that beat as one
To some sweet lovers tune
But they're not songs that sing for me
Songs about the dream that lies
Within a lover's eyes
Songs about the cloudless sky
And lover's paradise
Songs about the joys of love
And lovers lullabies
But there not songs that sing for me

What good is love?
If you have to face
Cold hungry days and sighing
What good is love?
If life's just a race
To keep your heart from crying
Let the poet sing of skies above
And endless love
And hearts that dance
Where is my chance?
For the call of romance

What good is love?
If you haven't got
All that makes life worth living
What good is love?
If you haven't got
Even a thing worth giving
You can keep your little songs
That sing of all the joy that love can bring

What good's romance?
What good is love to me?
You can keep your little songs
That sing of all the joy that love can bring
What good's romance?
What good is love to me?

Better than you.

Song: Second Hand Faith by Emilie Autumn

I'll take my hope where I can find it
Seems I find it here in you
Hang your curtain get behind it
I won't even ask for proof
Go ahead and read my fortune
Cast your dice, divine my fate
I just want to know I have one
Tell me that it's not too late for

A little second hand faith
A line upon my palm that I can just erase
'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace
I can do without a book I'll never read
Second hand faith is all I need

I will pay you for your trouble
I will pay you for your time
Steal my wallet charge me double
All I've come for is a sign
Is there someone who can help me
Up above the clouds I see
Sitting in a Chinese restaurant
Someone comes to offer me

A little second hand faith
A line upon my palm that I can just erase
'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace
I can do without a book I'll never read
Second hand faith is all I need
'Cause this feeling of forgiveness means much more to me
Than that paper on the wall that cost you all of ten bucks
If an ancient word, a heathen spell can salvage me
I will believe in miracles 'cause it would take a saint to set me free

And if my luck don't last too long
Or if my life gets worse
I'll be back for another song

A blessing or a curse
And I'll never ask for refunds
'Cause I know you're not to blame
Take more blood more hair more money
I'll do anything to claim

A little second hand faith
A line upon my palm that I can just erase
'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace
I can do without a book I'll never read
Second hand faith is all I need

What somebody threw away
May just get me through the day
I can do without a book I'll never read
Second hand faith is all I need
Second hand faith is all I need

Song: Michael Jackson, "Bad"


Lyrics altered slightly to better fit a feline singer.

(A cat's growl is heard echoing around the Junkyard. The stray
tabby MACKREACH, knowing the voice, grins and begins to
sing a low, rhythmic baseline in anticipation of a new song)


[MACKREACH]
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...

(During this, RATTERCLACK appears on top of a junkheap. He
turns his side to the JELLICLE CHORUS, arches his back and
hisses menacingly before descending towards them, singing)


[RATTERCLACK]
Your tail is mine
Gonna take you right
Just show your face
In broad moonlight
I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't aim to kill
Come on!

(RATTERCLACK grins to the accompanying MACKREACH,
and encourages the JELLICLE CHORUS to join his song)


[RATTERCLACK (MACKREACH)]
Come on! Hah! (Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-)
Lay it on me - all right! (Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...)
(Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-)
(Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...)

I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about

Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I get through -

[RATTERCLACK (JELLICLE CHORUS)]
Because I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
Come on! You know! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again -
Who's Bad!

(All too mindful of recent events, RATTERCLACK scans the
JELLICLE CHORUS for potential troublemakers. He sings a
threat to all those who would oppose the tribe)


[MACKREACH]
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...
Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-
Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...

[RATTERCLACK]
The word is out
You're doin' wrong
Gonna take you out
Before too long
Your lyin' eyes
Gonna take you right
So listen up
Don't try to fight
Your talk is cheap
You ain't got claws
The stones you kick
Hide guilty paws

But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
And my friends you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I get through -

[RATTERCLACK (JELLICLE CHORUS)]
Because I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! You know! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)

You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know! (BAD!)
WOO! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! You know! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
AAAAAHHHH! (And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again -)

[RATTERCLACK AND JELLICLE CHORUS]
Who's Bad!

[RATTERCLACK (MACKREACH)]
Yeah, that's it! (Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-)
Now you're getting the idea! (Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...)
Well, this is the Jellicle Ball - (Bom, bom, bom, bom-bom-)
C'mon, Jellicles, dance with me! (Bom-bom, bom, bom-bom...)

(RATTERCLACK leads a dance break with obvious enjoyment,
then looks up to the moon before continuing his song)


[RATTERCLACK]
We can change the world tomorrow
This could be a better place
If you don't like what I'm sayin'
Then won't you scratch my face -

[RATTERCLACK (JELLICLE CHORUS)]
Because I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! You know! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
WOO! WOO! (And the whole world has to answer right now)
WOO! (Just to tell you once again -)

You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know! (BAD!)
You know!(BAD!)
You know! Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
(And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again -)

You know I'm smooth! (BAD!)
I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know it! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD! BAD!)
I'm Bad, baby! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know! (BAD!)
You know! (BAD!)
You know it! Come on! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
(And the whole world has to answer right now)
WOO! (Just to tell you once again -)

You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
You know! (BAD!)
WOO! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
You know I'm Bad! (BAD!)
AAAAHHH! (BAD!)
You know it! You know! (REALLY, REALLY BAD!)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again -

Song: "Five Eyes"


Original poem by Walter de la Mare - it has been set to music
many times, and I'm not sure exactly whose version this is!
Most likely seems to be Cecil Armstrong Gibbs.


[RATTERCLACK]
That's a fine brace of rats you've got there, Mister Mackreach.

[MACKREACH]
Coveting my spoils, are we, old son? Kahahaha! Wurl, this is
what comes of being a bonafide rat-catching cat - lots of big,
fat, juicy rodents for dinner...

[RATTERCLACK]
Aw, 'ave pity, mister - me belly's growling somefink orful.

[MACKREACH]
Aw, awright then. Just a bite, mind - the rest's for me girls, and
even you wouldn't take food from the mouths of kittens.

[RATTERCLACK]
Blaahdy right I wou'n't. 'Ere, why don't you sing the Jellicles
that rat-catching song you taught me? The three black mill cats?

[MACKREACH]
Good idea. Oi, Jellicles - lissen up if yer want to know how
a real rat-catcher works!

(MACKREACH looks around at his audience with a grin and sings)

[MACKREACH]
In Hans' old mill his three black cats
Watch the bins for the thieving rats
Whisker and claw, they crouch in the night
Their five eyes smouldering green and bright!

Squeaks from the flour sacks, squeaks from where
The cold wind stirs on the empty stair
Squeaking and scampering, everywhere...

Then down they pounce, now in, now out
At whisking tail, and sniffing snout -
While lean old Hans he snores away
Till peep of light at break of day...

Then up he climbs to his creaking mill...
Out come his cats all grey with meal -
Jekyll, and Jessop, and one-eyed Jill!

In Hans' old mill his three black cats
Watch the bins for the thieving rats
Whisker and claw, they crouch in the night
Their five eyes smouldering green and bright!

Song: Hoagy Carmichael, "Lazy Bones"


Lyrics tweaked slightly.

(MACKREACH approaches TINTANADULA with a large rat)

[MACKREACH]
Come on, Tintin-me-love. Wake up. It's dinner time.

(TINTANADULA, half-asleep, mumbles something unintelligible)

[MACKREACH]
Awr, caahm on! You like rat. I know you like rat.

(TINTANADULA curls up with her paw over her nose)

[TINTANADULA]
Mmmrr...shush, Daddy. Naptime.

(MACKREACH grins, shakes his head, and sings to his daughter)

[MACKREACH]
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
You'll never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noonday sun

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade

When 'taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall offa the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line...

You're such a
Lazy bones! Sleepin' all the day!
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way
Well, looky here -
You never heard a word I say!

(PURRATTICA enters and nuzzles her daughter in an attempt to wake her)

[PURRATTICA]
Lazy bones, sleepin' all the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way
And you'll never hear a word I say!

(TINTANADULA yawns and rolls over. Her parents chuckle fondly)

[PURRATTICA AND MACKREACH]
Sleepin' all the day...
You're our good-for-nothing lazybones!
