Elf

Elf
Inspired by Meredith Brooks' Bitch.
Lyrics by Ramshutu Rak'asha


Sitting at the zone,
No one else is here, I'm sitting on my own.
And I'm shouting for a group but no one's biting,
I guess I'll have to kite, soloing again.

Yesterday I grouped,
You know I was relieved to have a chance at loot,
Cos a group told me that someone had to go,
and they needed just one more,
I had absolutely no idea, just what they had in store.

I'm an Elf, I'm in danger,
I'm their tank, but I'm a ranger,
I'm a hybrid, I'm the suck.
But they don't give a *damn*.
Use my bow, or get creamed,
I do nothing in between.
And Sony wouldn't want it any other way.

So the group dumped me of course.
So I head back to the zone to get my corpse.
When I get another tell to join a party,
Cos their chanter had to leave,
I should've heard the warning bells,
And kept all my exp.

I'm an Elf, they're in danger.
Crowd control, but I'm a ranger.
I'm a hybrid, my root sucks,
I'm their chanter, what the *hell*?
There's no way I'll survive.
So, I may well suicide,
And take these 50 orc pawns far far away.

Just when I think I got it all figured out,
The rules, they keep on changing,
And when I do all the things that I do,
Then no one can save me.
I'm an Elf, now I'm dead. I'm a corpse that needs a rez.
I was trying for a bit,
But I can't tank worth *sugar*.
Now I'll even take revive,
To bring me back alive,
You know sometimes I think this class is kinda gay

Ram was a half elf. Ram was a ranger. Ram knew of the pain wot he was writing about.  'nuff said. This is the second of only two songs that we did where we didn't write the original lyrics. Both Izne's 'Twitch Me Now' and this one, of course got some serious butchering from the original submissions that Ram and Izne had made, but the lion's share of the credit definitely has to go to the original authors.

All Barq and I really did with external submissions was rewrite lines to make 'em scan better and so the syllables would fit into the rhythm of the original lyrics. With complex fast moving songs like One Week, Killin' Time and We Didn't Start The Training it was a great deal more complicated than with this one. Fun to play. Fun to record. Don't ask me why I ended up singing it. I have no idea.
