#they leave weeks later unenlightened” and she was like oh. oh. oh. Oh..

[ofpd]

for the ask game hadestown cuz it's the first musical I thought of

ok well i haven't actually listened to hadestown but this is my blog and i do what i want & ik you like falsettos also so im gonna do falsettos instead . ok falsettos has a Lot of songs so im gonna try not to put too much thought into any of these & im combining songs that are combined in the cast recording

four jews in a room bitching: i'm neurotic / he's neurotic / they're neurotic / we're neurotic

a tight-knit family/love is blind: love is very often debris / when you find / what you find / then never never never never never do it over again (see: what more can i say)

the thrill of first love: we ask for passion at all times / we stand to passion and drink this toast / still it's awful trying / and we're not denying / that of all the lesser passions / we like fighting most

marvin at the psychiatrist: does she sleep in the nude / no

my father's a homo/everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist: i think you like playing chess alone / that's not normal / what is normal / i wouldn't know

this had better come to a stop: chop chop chop chop chop i chopped it / i served his food the asshole forced me / and still the bastard divorced me

i'm breaking down: i wanna hate him but i really can't / it's like a nightmare how this all proceeds / i hope that whizzer don't fulfill his needs

please come to our house/jason's therapy: so you feel alright for about 10 minutes / feel alright for 20 minutes / feel alright for 40 minutes / drop it and smile / why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life

a marriage proposal/a tight-knit family (reprise): oftentimes lovers are crazy people / sometimes they kill each other / just like a biblical brother / did to his biblical brother / back in biblical times / biblical times? / biblical times / oh those biblical times

trina's song/march of the falsettos/trina's song (reprise): they fight too hard / and play too rough / they sometimes love / but not enough

the chess game: life's a sham and every move is wrong / we've examined every move as we move along

making a home: loving our / liking our / hating our lives / making a home

the games i play: play again the music / it's a song that i've been waiting to hear for much too long / years, years too long

marvin hits trina: mendel plans to rub my back / mendel's not a maniac / and he's sweet / and he's warm / and he loves me so

i never wanted to love you: i never wanted to love you / i only wanted to see my face in yours / jason's wild / save that child / how he adores / and hates me

father to son: a man, kid / you'll be, kid / if nothing goes wrong / sing for us all / as you march along

falsettoland/it's about time: one day i'd like to be / as mature as my son / who is 12 and a half / and this tall / that's all i'd like to be / that's all (honorable mention to: shiksa caterers / short insomniacs / hypochondriacs / yiddish-americans / feisty families / radiologists / intellectuals / nervous wrecks)

year of the child: there'll be food / like food never before (this line has always been SO hilarious to me for some reason)

miracle of judaism: would they come, though / if they were invited / and not / laugh at my hebrew / and not / laugh at my father and his friends

the baseball game: just what i wanted at a little league game / my ex husband's ex lover / isn't that what every mother dreams about / having at a little league game / looking at whizzer is like eating treyf

a day in falsettoland: in the 60's everyone had heart / in the 60's we were all a part of the same team / in the 60's we had a new world to start / could this / oh god don't say this / could this be / the new world we started

everyone hates his parents: everyone hates his parents / that's in the torah / it's what history shows / in fact, god said to moses / moses, everyone hates his parents / that's how it is / and god knew / because god hated his

what more can i say: can you tell / i have been revived / it's so swell / damn it / even i'm surprised

something bad is happening/more racquetball: my spirits sag / when i read the magazines / men dressed in drag / next to their moms / passion and fashion and filler / but not a word about the killer / i like the ballgowns but jesus christ

holding to the ground: i hold to the ground as the ground keeps shifting / keeping my balance square / trying not to care about this man whom marvin loves / but that's my life / he shared my life / yes that's my life

days like this: i think you need to play some chess / jason, sit down and begin / i'll let you win, whizzer / don't let me win / i'll let you win

canceling the bar mitzvah: why don't we tell him / that we don't have the answers / and that life can be grim / life's not all about him / and things rarely go according to plan / tell him things happen / for no damn good reason / and his lack of control kills what's best in his soul / and this is the start to his becoming a man

unlikely lovers: i can't help but feeling / i've failed / let's be scared together / let's pretend that nothing is awful / there's nothing to fear / just stay right here / i love you

another miracle of judaism: i don't know if you exist / i can't hear your fingers snapping / are you just a big psychiatrist / or can you make things not happen

something bad is happening (reprise): something that kills / something infectious (this was my attempt to not just do the entirety of this very short song lol)

you gotta die sometime: death's a funny pal with a weird sort of talent / he takes me in his arms and walks me to the bed / he pins me against the wall and kisses me like crazy / the many stupid things i thought about with dread / now delight / then the scene turns to white

jason's bar mitzvah: son of abraham, isaac, and jacob / son of marvin / son of trina / son of whizzer / son of mendel / and godchild to the lesbians from next door / sing, oh sing, oh sing

what would i do: do you regret / i'd do it again / i'd like to believe that i'd do it again and again and again (see: love is blind)

falsettoland (reprise): this is where we take a stand / welcome to falsettoland

send me an album & I'll pick my favorite lyrics from every song

Musical Songs Post: Part 2

Part 2: Emily, Destina, Rosa

Part 3: Julian, Hisoka, Aurelio, Albano

Emily

Chant - Hadestown

Looking high and looking low

For the food and firewood I know we need to find

And I am keeping one eye on the sky

And trying to trust

That the song he's working on

Is gonna harbour us

From the wind

The wind

The wind

Fine Life - Oliver!

I rough it

I love it

Life is a game of chance

I never tire of it

Leading this merry dance

If you don't mind having to go without things

It's a fine life

Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings

It's a fine life

Seventeen - Heathers

Fine!

We’re damaged

Really damaged

But that does not make us wise

We’re not special, we’re not different

We don’t choose who lives or dies

Let’s be normal, see bad movies

Sneak a beer and watch TV

Destina

I'm Breaking Down - Falsettos

Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure he did his best

I mean he meant to be what he was not

The things he was are things which I forgot

He's a queen

I'm a queen

Where is my crown?

I'm breaking down

Trina's Song - Falsettos

So tired of all the happy men who rule the world

Happy, frightened men who rule the world

Stupid, charming men

Silly, childish jerks

That said, I'll be his wife

I'll wed and change my life

No Way - Six

You must agree that, baby, in all the time I been by your side

I've never lost control, no matter how many times I knew you lied

Have my golden rule

Gotta keep my cool, yeah, baby

Get Down - Six

Now I ain't sayin' I'm a gold digger

But check my prenup, and go figure

Got gold chains

Symbolic of my faith to the higher power

In the fast lane

My horses can trot up to 12 miles an hour

Let me explain

I'm a wiener schnitzel, not an English flower

No one tells me I need a rich man

Doin' my thing in my palace in Richmond

Burn - Hamilton

The world has no right to my heart

The world has no place in our bed

They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories

Burning the letters that might have redeemed you

You forfeit all rights to my heart

You forfeit the place in our bed

You sleep in your office instead

With only the memories of when you were mine

I hope that you burn

As Long As He Needs Me - Oliver!

The way I feel inside

The love I have to hide

The Hell! I've got my pride

As long as he needs me

He doesn't say the things he should

He acts the way he thinks she should

But, all the same

I'll play this game his way

Rosa

We All Need a Hero - Death Note

We all need a hero

To rush in and try to save the day

We all need a hero

For dragons yet to slay

We all need a hero

To show us that deep inside

We'll find there's some kind of hero too

Like the one I found in you

Movie In My Mind - Miss Saigon

Flee this life

Flee this place

The movie plays and plays

I'll find my true romance

She takes me to a place

Where I don't have to dance

Something Bad Is Happening - Falsettos

People might think I'm very dyke-ish

I make a big stink when I must, but goddamn

I'm just professional, never too nonchalant

If I'm a bitch, well, I am what I am!

Just call me 'Doc', don't call me 'lady'

I don't like to talk when I'm losing the game

Bachelors arrive sick and frightened

They leave weeks later, unenlightened

We see a trend, but the trend has no name

Everyone Hates His Parents - Falsettos

Everyone hates his parents

Now I see why!

But in time

They'll cool out

And you'll think

They were only fooling

It's a strange thing about parents

Push turns to shove

What was hate

Becomes more or less love
