anyway...
i remember when it first came out and i saw it at the movies. i know i’m showing my age but i'm proud to remember this one…ferris bueller’s day off…a pivotal moment in one’s adolescence. and a fantastic movie…charlie sheen really is very hot…
secondly…i really like this song. originally by blue oyster cult (ooh, cults are bad!) and then covered by the muttonbirds for peter jackson’s flick the frighteners…another fillim I quite like. but the muttonbirds’s (muttonbirds’…no ruling on that use of apostrophe thanks max cryer) version is down the octave so while it is still a great song…it’s just not right…
anyway…here are the words (capitals not mine…! [:P], and it looks way better when centred...don't ask me why...)
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
don't ask me to explain those lyrics cos i don't understand them...and i'm pretty sure they don't...just enjoy it...
p.s. note how i excelled on the links tonight...?!
p.p.s...they mentioned wayne mason from the fourmyular (nice play on numbers there), who was from upper hutt, in the wiki entry. i have actually met him. in the staffroom at school. and i told him i preferred the muttonbirds' version of nature which has been voted nz's best ever song and was composed at the blockhouse (and if wiki says it is so then it must exist...despite me having seen it with my own eyes, and my brother can vouch for it) just up the road from my place. he was not amused...(nature is a very excellent song...)
p.p.p.s....where were we before wiki?
