wl_fanfiction | My Current Project- Thought I'd share! (Reply)

So I know this doesn't "technically" belong here, but I thought I'd share what I've been putting together the last few days.

It's a fanmix, a fully downloadable Greg and Jeff fanmix. More things under the cut!

The download resides here: www.megaupload.com/
It's got an A side and a B side, like really old records that I keep around the house.
So! A side is Jeff's story, and B side is Greg's.

The following is a the list of songs, with a selection of lyrics and a bit of a story behind which songs I chose.

Jeff's side

01. Grace Kelly- Mika

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

Yeah, I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

--This time on tour, Jeff can't understand Greg's actions,
and he feels that Greg isn't paying attention to him,
or even cares. He's not quite sure how he feels about Greg,
but he knows there's something there and he's searching for it.

02. I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked- Ida Maria

Oh the clever
things I should say to you
They got stuck somewhere
Stuck between me and you

Oh I'm nervous
I don't know what to do
Light a cigarrette
I only smoke when I'm with you

--Jeff's attracted to Greg, that's for sure.
He can't get him out of his mind.
It's lust, definitely lust. It has to be.
But he's never going to say a word.

03. Nights in White Satin- The Moody Blues

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

--Jeff stays up late at night, he can't sleep anymore.
He knows he loves Greg, there's no hiding it anymore.
It feels like it's killing him inside.
He doesn't know how much longer he can last.

04. Bittersweet Symphony- Scala & Kolachny Bros. (The Verve cover)

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

--He wants things to be different.
He wants to be in a world where it could work out.
Jeff feels like he'd do anything for Greg,
and he's tired of waiting for it.
He'll gather his sanity and do what he can.
He'll fucking tell him. It's just a matter of when.

05. Happy Ending- Mika

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, no love, no glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

--Jeff tells Greg of his love.
Though it seems he already knew.
Hell, evreyone knew..
It doesn't end well.
That's that.

Greg's side

01. Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again- Shivaree (Gary Glitter cover)

Hello, hello, hello
(It's good to be back, it's good to be back)
Hello, hello, hello

Did you miss me while I was away?
Did you hang my picture on your wall?
Did you kiss me every single day
Although you couldn't kiss me at all?

--It's the start of another tour.
Greg's the bastard he always is.
He doesn't notice that Jeff's a bit off.
Well, he doesn't notice much.

02. Say Goodnight- Jump, Little Children

I heard you late last night
I wish I had my distance
I hear you crash around
And say that no one listens
I wish that i would hear you say goodnight

And nobody cares
Especially me
But I can't help myself
As I fall asleep
To turn out the lights
Turn back the sheets
Say goodnight and turn me on

--Hotel walls are thin,
He can hear Jeff on the other side.
He'd go over there if he could,
say something, do something.
Save him from himself.

03. Numb as a Statue- Warren Zevon

I'm numb as a statue
I may have to beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
So I can have some feelings too

--Jeff never has to say much,
Greg figured it was obvious enough.
But he still can't do a damn thing.
Or won't, really. No, can't..

04. Don't Cry Out- Shiny Toy Guns

I don't get you ...
I can't forget what you've forgotten
all along
I've never been so alone...

Don't Cry Out
Cease Fire

I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play...

--Jeff feels safe enough onstage,
To flirt with Greg, sometimes even kiss him.
He loves every second of it.
He knows it needs to stop soon.
But goddamn, he wishes it wouldn't.

05. The Things We Did and Didn't Do- The Magnetic Fields

All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know
that you told me just to tell me later that you'd told me so
come flooding back to me now

He could wish words were never spoken,
Or that he could truly forget,
But he had to say no.
He had to.
Once it became real, he had to let him go.
He had to let Jeff go.
