Great songs, Arathorn!

Thanks guys. . .I don't know how I survived being away from entmoot for so long Yes, I have always wanted to say Sam's line, Arathorn! Okay, I must tear myself away from the moot for a while to finish those songs.

Okay, here's the first one. My next targets for Tolkienizing are Two of Us (Three of Us), Norwegian Wood (I once had a Ring, or should I say, it once had me. . .), and Michelle (Preciousss) But here is We Can Work it Out:

We Can Work it Out (originally by the Beatles)

Gandalf: (to Saruman)
Try to see it my way, do I have to keep on talking ‘til I can't go on
Why see it your way? If Middle-earth will fall to ruin before too long
We can work it out, we can work it out
Think of what you're saying. You will get it wrong
and you can't get the One Ring
Think of what I'm saying, we can work it out
and get it straight and tell Sauron goodnight
We can work it out. We can work it out
Life has been so long but now there's no time for turning to evil my friend
We have always thought that it's a crime so I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way. Only then you will see that I am right and you are wrong
Why see it your way? ‘Cause Middle-earth will fall
to ruin before too long
We can work it out, we can work it out
(repeat this two more times. . .)

Great songs folks every balrog burns almost made me cry
staind, its been a while-

since i could let the world go bye
since i first owned you
since i could walk among the elves again
since i ignored you

and everything i can remember
is messed up worse than it can be
to mordor i'd ve surrendered
if sam wsnt here with me

since i could say that i wasnt conflicted
since i could save the shire as well
since i went and messed things up just liek i always do
but all that is gonna disappear when im without you

and everything i can remember
is messed up worse than it can be
to mordor i'd ve surrendered
if sam wsnt here with me

why must i feel this way
no more than another day
id love a peaceful day

since i could look at gollum straight
since i didnt hurry
since i see the way elves prettify the place
but i can still remeberhow lembas tastes

and everything i can remember
is messed up worse than it can be
i cant blame bilbos party
he did the best he could for me

Great songs, EG and DS! BTW, REM's been together for more than 20 yrs. I do like the rendition of Everybody Hurts by the Corrs. (never thought I'd make people tearry-eyed about Balrog)

Anyway, I forgot to do a song by Madonna. Here's one that Arwen would've sung in Lorien late in the Fourth Age:

This Used To Be Lothlorien
(Originally "TUTB My Playground" written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone)

This used to be Lothlorien (used to be)
This used to be my elven dream
This used to be the wood I ran to
Whenever I asked to leave
Rivendell
Why did they have to sail
And why do they always pray

Elbereth
Let your head face west
They've passed the test
And left, time's too short
And before you know
You're King is old
And your world is fading
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

This used to be Lothlorien (used to be)
This used to be my elven dream
This used to be the wood I ran to
Whenever I asked to leave
Rivendell
Why did they have to sail
And why do they always pray

Gilthoniel
But I wish my kin
Were here with me
Well if there's hope yet
I can see their face
In this secret place
They're not just a memory
Say goodbye to the Fourth Age (the dream)
Those are more than mere adage (Not just a page)

This used to be Lothlorien (used to be)
This used to be the Noldor's joy
This used to be the wood we ran to
That no Dark Lord in the world would dare destroy

This used to be Lothlorien (used to be)
This used to be our elven dream
This used to be the wood we ran to
I wish Estel's standing here with me

That was really good. Well not actually cry, the last thing that made me cry was standing on a pin, barefoot. But it was very cute. How do you get so good at them?? I've run out of material, really unless I go for using the same bands, or stereophonics, and thats annoying.
I might write another soon.

I love REM, I have the Out Of Time album and I listen to it a lot!
Does anybody remember the single (last year) The Great Beyond? That is one of my favourite all time songs.
Please can somebody with more talent than me (eg, anybody) do a LotR version of it. The title is quite appropriate, but the content is mad (bending spoons, pushing elephants (oliphaunts) up the stairs, etc).
Please?

Who are Crowded House?
I like the new avatar Strawberry Milkshake. I have been away from here for far too long!

Will See what I can do, R-L. Crowded House is a New Zealand band as BoP stated. They've been around since the 80's; at least I remember that song from back then.

Thanks DS and EG. I don't really know if I'm good but I just keep at it and have a thesaurus and dictionary around (dictionary.com) and the LOTR book. For ideas, I just let my mind fly around ME like an eagle and try to see who's POV I will possess next. The boxers are metaphorical, BTW. Like my PC, they're very personal.

Anyway, here's another Smash Mouth hit:

RUNNING FROM THE SHIRE (A ruffian's lament)
(originally WALKING ON THE SUN by Smash Mouth)
It Ain't No Joke I'd Like To Buy Some Leaf To Smoke
And Teach The Wose To Sing In Perfect Harmony
And Teach The Folks To Stuff The Briars In The Shire
Hey I Know It's Just A Song But It's Nice For The Company
This Is A Wraith Attack I Know They Splashed Out But They're Back
It's Just Like Any Lad Who Detracts When We Attack
And Just Like Carrion With A Passion Or The Wicked We Trick
If Ya Call Treabeard, Ents Come And Bash Ya After Mootin
A Week.

Chorus:
So Don't Delay Act Now Longbottom's Running Out
Allow, If We're Still Alive, Six To Eight Weeks To Arrive
And If You Follow There May Be An Old Wizard
But If His Powers Tire You Might As Well Be Running From The Shire

Twenty Five Weeks Ago Folks Broke Out And They Spoke Out
Of Depression And Oppression And Together They Poked
And They Ogred Out Of Their Holes Around A Bon Fire
Just Singin' And Clappin' Man What The Hell's Happened
Some Were Hand Bound Some Were Hole Bound
Some Just Fell Down And Some Got Back Up And
Fought Back 'Gainst The Crackdown
And Those Kids Of Hobbit Chicks Had Hostile Fits
And Their Passion Is Smashin' Our Cool Profits From It

(Chorus)

It Ain't No Joke When Pheriannath Angry Bees Are Stoked
They have no Fear Because Their Freedom's Life Has Been Revoked
Control Is Broke Up So Choked Up And Focus On The Poke Up
Mr. Wizard Can't Perform No One Eye Hocus Pocus
So Don't Sit Back Kick Back Don't Watch Our Lads Get Bushwhacked
News At 10 Your Neighborhood Is Under Attack
Put Away The Pack Before The Pack Puts You Away
You Need To Be Gone When Those Sheriffs Are Smart Enough To Relate

(Chorus)

And Rat Race and I think that one was on Space Jam, too.
It's an overworked song now.
Like the song, Arathorn. Strange, and yes, v. unconventional!

Here's 2 coming right up! First one's originally by Dido:

To Sting You
(originally Thank You by Dido)

My Pincers cold, I'm wondering why I let go those two at all
The morning dew clouds up my silken web and I can't feel at all
And even if I could there are no more prey, but my blood is on the wall
Gollum told me that they're not so bad, they're not so bad

I bled too much last night, there's hell to pay, my wound just feels in pain
I missed the mark and I'll be dead today, Where is Gollum again?
And even if I hide, orcs will all reply that I might not last the day
And then they'll kill me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and

I want to Sting you for giving me the worst day of my life
Oh just to Sting you is gonna be the best day of my life

Through the hole I'm home at last and I'm stinking through and through
Then I saw a juiceless corpse, and all I see is you
And even if my lair breaks down now, I wouldn't give a clue
Until you're near me and

I want to Sting you for giving me the worst day of my life
Oh just to Sting you is gonna be the best day of my life

The next one's originally from Bic Runga, a Maori songwriter and singer. This is the love theme from the movie Amarican Pie.

SAIL
(Originally "Sway" by Bic Runga)

Don't sail don't ever go away
I'll miss you when you've left for West
You know dwarves rarely care for Noldor
Sometimes, when you go read my mind
I fall into a cavern with you, pull me out in time
Don't lead me down, let me down
My axe I've sworn to swing for you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm hewing countless orc so I can claim it to your face
It doesn't feel right, to look you in the eye
Let all the gems you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mines
Indeed it's time to tell you now
I say you shouldn't be so cruel

CHORUS:
Say you'll wait, don't run and go
Like you would
Sail my way, yeah I need to know
More about you

And there's no cure, this Khazad isn't sure
Why he likes trees and ventures out
This Dwarf's in so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now we near the hour
Come sweeten this last afternoon

CHORUS TWICE

I've sworn to swing for you
I've sworn to swing for you

Now we near the hour, come sweeten this last afternoon
It's time to tell you now I say you shouldn't be so cruel

CHORUS TWICE

I've sworn to swing for you
I've sworn to swing for you
I've sworn to swing for you

oooooohhhh! I like Arathorn! Very good. I wrote a song, a version od David Bowies 'Heroes' called halfwits, but thats not really LotR related. Just halfwit based

Everybodies are great. Elf master I take it the halfwits know who you are now, cos you've basically just told them. I have done a dido song and a corrs and a staind song over the weekend but i left the disc at home D'oh!
I luv Arathorns Dido song, and I luv Shrek so thats all cool.
