Once more with feeling

Die Folge war so genial, dass sie sich eine ganze Seite verdient!! Was ich ganz besonders toll finde, ist dass die Schauspieler alles selber gesungen haben. ( sie hätten sich ja auch weigern können, oder??) Auf jedenfall hab ich mir die dazugehörige CD sofort gekauft / bestellt ( weil man von unserem dummen Kaff = Passau  natürlich nicht erwarten kann dass es sie im Handel gibt!). Wenn ihr sie auch haben wollt geht zu Amazon.de . ( oder ladet euch die lieder einfach runter ;)!) Hier sind schon mal die Texte zu allen Liedern:

Going Through The Motions (Buffy, Demons)

B: Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still, I always feel the strangest estrangement
Nothing here is real,
Nothing here is right
I’ve been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I’ve been

Going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
I was always brave and kind of righteous
Now I find I'm wavering
Crawl out of your grave you'll find this fight
Just doesn't mean a thing
Demons: She ain't got that swing
B: Thanks for noticing
Demons: She does pretty well with things from hell
But lately, we can tell
That she's just

Going through the motions
Faking it somehow
She's not even half the girl she...
ow
B: Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour
Handsome Man: How can I repay?
B: Whatever
I don't want to be

Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just wanna be
Alive
 
I’ve Got a Theory (Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow)

G: I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon
Eh, something isn't right there.

W: I’ve got a theory
Some kid is dreaming
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare

X: I’ve got a theory we should work this out
All: It's getting eerie
What's this cheery
Singing all about?

X: It could be witches
Some evil witches,
Which is ridiculous
'Cause witches,
They were persecuted
Wicca good
And love the earth
And women power,
And I’ll be over here

A: I’ve got a theory
It could be bunnies
[crickets chirp]

T: I’ve got a --

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies
It must be bunnies!

... or maybe midgets?

W: I’ve got a theory,
We should work this fast
G&W: Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it's passed

B: I’ve got a theory

 

What Can't We Face (Buffy, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow)

B: It doesn't matter
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse
We've all been there
The same old trips
Why should we care?
All: What can't we do if we get in it?
We're working through it every minute
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die
B: Hey, I’ve died twice
All: What can't we face
G: What can't we face?
If we're together?
What's in this place
That we can't weather?
G: We're together
There's nothing we can't face
A: Except for bunnies

Under Your Spell (Tara)

I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I’m bathed in light
Something just isn't right

I’m under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power shone
Brighter than any I’ve known

I’m under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true

You made me believe

The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I’m under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me --

 

I’ll Never Tell (Xander & Anya)

A: This is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle
Vengeance was mine
But I’m out of the biz
The name I made I'll trade for his
The only trouble is...
I’ll never tell

X: She is the one, she's such wonderful fun
Such passion and grace
Warm in the night when I’m right
In her tight --
embrace,
Tight embrace
I’ll never let her go
The love we've known can only grow
There's just one thing that --
No.
I’ll never tell
Both: 'Cause there's
Nothing to tell

A: He snores
X: She wheezes
A: Say "housework" and he freezes
X: She eats these skeezy cheeses
That I can't describe
A: I talk, he breezes
X: She doesn't know what pleases
A: His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe
Both: The vibe gets kind of scary
X: Like she thinks I'm ordinary
A: Like it's all just temporary
X: Like her toes are kind of hairy
Both: But it's all very well
'Cause, god knows,
I'll never tell

A: When things get rough
He just hides behind his Buffy
Now look, he's getting huffy
'Cause he knows that I know
X: She clings,
She's needy
She's also really greedy
She never --
A: His eyes are beady
X: This is my verse,
Hello? She --

A: Look at me!
I'm dancin' crazy!

Both: You know
X: You're quite the charmer
A: My knight in armour
X: You're the cutest of the scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies
And your firm yet supple --
Tight embrace!

A: He's swell
X: She's sweller
A: He'll always be my feller
X: That's why I’ll never
Tell her that I’m petrified
A: I’ve read this tale
There's wedding
Then betrayal
I know there'll come the day
I'll want to run and hide

Both: I lied
I said it's easy
I’ve tried
But there's these fears I can't quell
X: Is she looking for a pot of gold?
A: Will I look good when I’ve gotten old?
X: Will our lives become too stressful
If I’m never that successful?
A: When I get so worn and wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkley
X: Am I crazy?
A: Am I dreamin'?
X: Am I marrying
A demon?
Both: We could
Really raise the beam
In makin' marriage a hell
So, thank god,
I'll never tell
I swear
That I’ll never tell
X: My lips are sealed
A: I take the fifth
X: Nothing to see,
Move it along
Both: I’ll never
Tell
 

Rest In Peace (Spike)

I died
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
mmm-mmm
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I’m only dead to you
I’m saying stay away and
Let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my, sweet release
So let me rest in peace

You know,
You got a willing slave
You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
Till you do,
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
Let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?

 
Does Anybody Even Notice? (Dawn)

Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?
 

Sweet’s Song (Sweet and Dawn)

Sweet: Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my style?
Ah...
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a great big smile
I come from the imagination
And I’m here strictly by your invocation
So what do you say
why don't we dance a while?

I’m the how to swing
I’m the twist and shout
When you gotta sing
When you gotta let it out
You call me, and I come a-runnin'
I turn the music on, I bring the fun in
Now we're partying
That's what it's all about

Cause I know what you feel, girl
I know just what you feel, girl
D: So, you're like a good demon, bringing the fun in?

All these melodies
They go on too long
Then that energy starts to come on
Way too strong
All those hearts lay open
That must sting
Plus some customers
Just start combusting
That's the penalty when life is but a song

You brought me down into this town
So when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen
'Cause I know what you feel, girl
D: No you see, you and me, wouldn't be very regal
Sweet: I'll make it real, girl
D: What I mean, I'm fifteen, so this queen thing's illegal
Sweet: I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft shoe in
D: Well that's great, but I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her
Sweet: Something's cooking
I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero
His very first fiddle
D: She'll get pissed if I'm missed
See, my sister's the slayer...
 

Standing In The Way (Giles)
You're not ready
For the world outside
You keep pretending,
but you just can't hide
I know I said that I’d
Be standing by your side
But I

Your path's unbeaten,
And it's all uphill
And you can meet it,
But you never will
And I’m the reason that you're standing still
But I

I wish I could say
The right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I’m standing in the way

The cries around you,
You don't hear at all
'Cause you know I’m here
To take that call
So you just lie there when
You should be standing tall
But I

I wish I could
Lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could
Slay your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm
Standing in the way
I’m just standing
In the way

 

Under Your Spell (Reprise) (Tara)

I'm under your spell
God, how can this be?
Playing with my memory
You know I've been through hell
Willow, don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me
You made me believe

 

Wish I Could Stay (Tara & Giles)

G: Believe me,
I don't wanna go
Both: And it'll grieve me
'Cause I love you so
We both know
G: Wish I could
Say the right words
T: Wish I could trust
G: to lead you
T: That it was just this once
G: Through this land
T: But I must do what I must...
G: Wish I could play the father
 T: I can't adjust to this disgust
G: And take you by the hand
 T: We're done and I just wish I could stay

Both: Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay here
Wish I could stay

 

Walk Through The Fire (Buffy, Spike, Sweet, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow)

B: I touch the fire, and it freezes me
I look into it, and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now, through the smoke, she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day
Or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same

So I will
Walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will
Walk through the fire
And let it...

S: The torch I bear is scorching me
Buffy’s laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries,
I'm free if that bitch dies
I better help her out
Sweet: 'Cause she is
Drawn to the fire
Some people...
S: She will never learn
Sweet&S: And she will
Walk through the fire
and let it...

G: Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
Is my slayer too far gone to care?
X: What if Buffy can't defeat it?
A: Beady eyes is right, we're needed
Or we could just sit around and glare
All: We'll
See it through
It's what we're
Always here to do
So we will
Walk through the fire

B: So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
T: What can't we face?
B: But while I froze,
Not one among them knows
And never can be told
A: She came from the grave much graver
Sweet: One by one, they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
S: First, he’ll kill her, then I’ll save her
T: Everything is turning out so dark
B: Going through the motions
S: No, I’ll save her, then I’ll kill her
W: I think this line is mostly filler
G: What's it going to take to strike a spark?
Sweet: But what they find ain't what they have in mind
It's what they have inside
She will come to me
B: These endless days
Are finally ending in a blaze
All: And we are
Caught in the fire
The point of no return
So we will
Walk through the fire
And let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
And let it burn!

 

Life's a Show (Buffy and Spike)

B: Life's a show,
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts
It's all right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

Where there's life,
There's hope
Every day's
A gift,
Wishes can
Come true
Whistle while
You work,
So hard
All day

To be like other girls
To fit in in this
Glittering world
Don't give me songs
G: She needs back-up.
Anya, Tara...
B: Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about
A&T: ah ah ah
ah ah ah
B: I need something to sing about
A&T: ah ah ah
ah ah ah
[tempo change]

B: Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
Still, my friends
Don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for

All the joy
Life sends
Family
And friends
All the twists
And bends
Knowing that
It ends
Well, that
Depends

On if they let you go
on if they know enough to know
That when you bow
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in hell
'Cause I’ve been expelled
From heaven
I think I was in heaven
So give me something to sing about
Please give me something
[tempo change]

S: Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
Only can heal
By living
Have to go on living
So one of us is living

 

Sweet’s Song (Reprise) (Sweet)

Big smiles, everyone.
You beat the bad guy.
What a lot of fun
You guys have been real swell
Heh heh.
And there's not a one who can say
This ended well
All those secrets
You've been concealing
Say you're happy now,
Once more with feeling
Now I gotta run
See you all in hell

 

Where Do We Go From Here? (All)

D: Where do we go from here?
D&G: Where do we go from here?
G: The battle's done,
And we kind of won
So we sound our victory cheer

All: Where do we go from here?
Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near
Understand
We'll go hand in hand
But we'll walk alone in fear

Tell me
Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
S: Heh. Bugger this.
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close
On a kiss god knows
We can tell the end is near
 

Walk Through The Fire (Reprise) (Buffy & Spike)

B: I touch the fire, and it freezes me
S: I died
B: I look into it...
S: So many years ago
B: And it's black
This isn't real
S: You can make me...
B: But I just wanna feel
S: Feel

All: where do we
Go from here?
