Songs

[ryanmochrie.livejournal.com]

Okay i've become obssesed w/ the musical Rent as of recently and thought these 4 (i added another that i can't believe I missed!) songs soooo fit some pairings. Oh and there's another song too but not from Rent.


Note:I changed the names to those of who from the WL cast I think should sing them.

Tango Maureen *or as I like to call it, the Tango Ryan he he he*

COLIN
The samples won't delay, but the cable-

GREG
There's another way
Say something - anything

COLIN
Test - one, two, three-

GREG
Anything but that

COLIN
This is weird

GREG
It's weird

COLIN
Very weird

GREG
Fuckin' weird

COLIN
I'm so mad that I don't know what to do
Fighting with microphones
Freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off I'm with you

GREG
Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?

COLIN
As a matter of fact-

GREG
Honey, I know this act
It's called the "Tango Ryan"
The Tango Ryan
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As he keeps you dangling

COLIN
You're wrong

GREG
You're heart he is mangling

COLIN
It's different with me

GREG
And you toss and you turn
'Cause his cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound

COLIN
I think I know what you mean

BOTH
The Tango Ryan!

GREG
Has he ever pouted his lips
And called you "Pookie"?

COLIN
Never

GREG
Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?

COLIN
This is spooky
Did you swoon when
he walked through the door?

GREG
Every time - so be cautious

COLIN
Did he moon over other boys - ?

GREG
More than mooned

COLIN
I'm getting nauseous

COLIN
he cheated

GREG
he cheated

COLIN
Ryan cheated

GREG
Fuckin' cheated

COLIN
I'm defeated, I should give up right now

GREG
Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might

COLIN
I'd fall for him still anyhow

BOTH
When you're dancing his dance
You don't stand a chance
His grip of romance makes you fall

GREG
So you think, might as well...

COLIN
...dance a tango to hell

BOTH
"At least I'll have tangoed at all"
The Tango Ryan
Gotta dance 'til your diva is through
You pretend to believe him 'cause in the end - you can't leave him
But the end it will come
Still you have to play dumb
'Til you're glum and you bum
And turn blue

GREG
Why do we love when he's mean?

COLIN
And he can be obscene
My Ryan

BOTH
The Tango Ryan!

(that one kinda makes Ry the bad guy, lol i never like doing that!)

I'll Cover You

COLIN
Live in my house, I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back,
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you

RYAN
Open your door, I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage, to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you

BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - be my life
Just slip me on I'll be your blanket
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat

COLIN
You'll be my king,
And I'll be your castle

RYAN
No you'll be my queen,
And I'll be your moat

BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is

RYAN
So with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
Out and tired
When your heart has expired

COLIN
If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you

BOTH
Oh lover I'll cover you, yeahhhhh
Oh lover I'll cover you

(it can work for ne pair but I heart Ry/Col!!! and yes I made Col the drag queen.)

Without You

COLIN
Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom,
The children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.

RYAN
The world revives,

COLIN
Colors renew,

BOTH
But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue

COLIN
Without you. Without you the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.

RYAN
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walks, the lungs breath.
The mind churns!

COLIN
The mind churns!

RYAN
The heart yearns!

COLIN
The heart yearns!

BOTH
The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.
'Cause I die, without you.

COLIN
Without you.

RYAN
Without you.

BOTH
Without you

(once again it works with all pairngs but Ry/Col are the real secret lovers! lol)

Hosea *this one's not from RENT*

Come back to me with all your heart, Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend though straight and tall, so must we to other's call.

Long have I waited for your coming home to me adn living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice with tenderness you shall know.

Long have I waited for your coming home to me adn living deeply our new life.

You shall sleep secure w/ peace, faithfulness will be your joy.

Long have I waited for your coming home to me adn living deeply our new life.

(okay yall gonna think I need help but that was a church song! lol)

Take Me or Leave Me (Rent!!)

RYAN
Every single day, I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty, everybody stares at me,
Boys - girls, I can't help it baby
So be kind, and don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage can never see the sun
This diva needs his stage,
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby
So be mine but don't waste my time
Cryin' - "O' Honeybear - are you still my my my baby?"

COLIN
Don't. You. Dare.

RYAN
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way - can I be what I'm not
But hey - don't you want your boy hot!
Don't fight - don't lose your head
'Cause every night - who's in your bed?
Who, who's in your bed, baby?
Kiss, Pookie.

COLIN
It won't work.
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit - I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby
So be wise 'cause this boy satisfies
You've got a prize, but don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am

RYAN
A control freak

COLIN
Who I was meant to be

RYAN
A snob - yet over-attentive

COLIN
And if you give a damn

RYAN
A lovable, droll geek

COLIN
Take me baby or leave me

RYAN
And anal retentive

BOTH
That's it!

COLIN
The straw that breaks my back

BOTH
I quit

COLIN
Unless you take it back

BOTH
Men

RYAN
What is it about them?

BOTH
Can't live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm GONE!

*It's strange that Ry/Col relatinoship fits that of the lesbian coupld huh?*
