Songs John really loved and wanted me to see
Let It Go, with video and lyrics
Let it go , Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I tried...
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air where I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here
I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Standing - frozen in the life I've chosen
You won't find me, the past is still behind me
Buried in the snow
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Let it go, let it go, and here I stand, let it go, let it go. Let it go x3
Love Is An Open Door, with lyrics and short comments
Lyrics
Anna: Okay, can I just, say something crazy?
Hans: I love crazy!
Anna:
All my life has been a series of doors in my face
And then suddenly I bump into you
Hans: I was thinking the same thing, because like --
Hans:
I’ve been searching my whole life to find my own place
And maybe it’s the party talking or the chocolate fondue
Anna:
But with you (but with you)
Hans:
I found my place (I see your face)
Together:
And it’s nothing like I’ve ever known before
Love is an open door
Love is an open door
Love is an open door
With you (with you)
With you (with you)
Love is an open door
Hans:
I mean it’s crazy (what?!)
We finish each other’s — (sandwiches)
That’s what I was gonna say!
Anna:
I never met someone
Together:
Who thinks so much like me (Jinx! Jinx again!)
Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation
(H) You (A) and I (H) were (A) just (H/A) meant to be
Say goodbye (say goodbye) to the pain of the past
We don’t have to feel it any more
Love is an open door
Love is an open door
Life can be so much more
With you (with you)
With you (with you)
Love is an open door
H: Can I say something crazy? Will you marry me?
A: Can I say something even crazier? Yes!
Bizarre Rap songs about steam punk and other things
Steam Powered, with lyrics
Steam Powered, Steam Powered, Steam Power
Steeeeeeeeeeamm Power!
So you'd like to know about Steampunk, would you Jennifer?
I suppose I can
Teach you a thing or two.
If you're all about steam and brass
All you need to start is tea and a flask
Sharp set of gears in a gleaming arc
In the sky race heaving and screaming past
If you're all about reaching far
Seeking the past on secret charts
Meeting in secret beneath the stars
With a decent mask and a good moustache.
If you're really part of an army
Marching armed for starting a party
A said weapon so wondrous
And a specially constructed blunderbuss
So thunderous
But don't come to fuss
Got a wanderlust
Then you're one of us.
We bump Steampunk
Need one of these jumped
Free powered
Free fun
Here come the Steampunks
If you want to see some obsolete technology
Brollies and slot machines
Then you want to follow me upon an odyssey
To the bottom of the sea
To the underwater colony
Where we dock and the airlocks release
A mahogany lobby leads off into the property
Watch, you see the monstrosities of the deep peep
Through the windows that we walk beneath.
If you wish to see a little piece of history
Back in 2053 this would be Italy
Streets glittering prettily
Just like a Christmas tree.
Until the heat rose six degrees
And now we're living in the middle of the drifting sea
Using industries of antiquity
By which i mean
Wave energy, solar, wind and
Steam Power!
Under a tunnel back in time
Covered in soot and factory grime
All other groups to the back of the line
We are the future in fact divine
Gleaming machinery seemed to be reckoned with
Every single member
Excellent gentlemen
Seen with a seamstress leading a steamship
In between tea sips
People need this
Because we're taking care of our crew
Like we do our facial hair
Be made aware then when making improvements
Don't call it a scene it's more of a movement
More of an era clearing the air
Taking over and nearly there
Pirates, ladies, vagrants, fiends
Welcome one and all to the age of Steam!
Fighting Trousers, with lyrics and comments
WARNING: I have not watched this Youtube video - maybe it's offensive - I have no idea - I only put it here for the actual song. They didn't have one without a video this time. It's a song about an argument he's having with another steam punk English rapper. Apparently, there are TWO of them. I read on Wikipedia that there argument is now reconciled, for which I'm glad. O.o But the song is extremely funny. This is the one I heard on the St. Louis trip. I laughed at it because it was like - some British person - being angry in a passive/aggressive sounding way. My favorite part is the very first few lines not in the lyrics, where he's telling his monkey butler (yes, his 'character' has a monkey butler named Jeffery apparently) to give him his trousers - no, no, not those ones. Those are his 'time traveling trousers.' No, no, those are his TEA trousers. Yes, those ones! My fighting trousers! [...] John said, he wonders what makes a pair of pants, "time traveling pants."
Fighting Trousers, Lyrics
Dear Sir,
Regarding your recent foray
Into the rap business and the scene you portray,
See I don't normally approve of war games,
But "He's biting you" is what they all say
And by Harry, they might be right--
This is hip hop, not an Elvis night!
Shelve this Professor impersonation,
Let it end now, it's impertinent waiting!
You seem a reasonable chap,
What you need to do is rap
But not parody chap hop
'Cause that's not proper, just not cricket!
Put away your ukulele or I'll tell where to stick it!
I - Don't like your tweed, sir!
Will - Teach you the professor's ready!
Not - Let's see who strikes the loudest!
Lose - Put on my fighting trousers!
I've got super producers and fans that play me
You've got a granddad's mustache and a ukulele
Don't look around sir, I'm speaking to you
Roll up your shirt sleeves, Queensbury rules
Never test professors with the cleverest wits
Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
When this George Formby clone is performing
Audiences go home before he begins talking
A new career might be more rewarding
I'm a bright Brighton peer, you're rap's Piers Morgan
I - Don't like your tweed, sir!
Will - Teach you the professor's ready!
Not - Let's see who strikes the loudest!
Lose - Put on my fighting trousers!
I'm not seeing you at ciphers or workshops with kids or gigs
Dear sir, you're not worthy of this!
Sold out to Coca-Cola
Used for a trend
And that means you're banned
From using a pen
Hope it's safe to assume you won't do this again
Set foot on my stage and get ruined again
Be out, Mr. B, I've set the egg timer
There's not room in town for two gentlemen rhymers
Leave town by the end of this instrumental
Yours, et cetera, et cetera, sincerely, and so forth,
Professor Elemental
I - Don't like your tweed, sir!
Will - Teach you the professor's ready!
Not - Let's see who strikes the loudest!
Lose - Put on my fighting trousers!
