An: This is a Jet songfic looking at Spike's death. I used the song Clumsy by Our Lady Peace. I decided I wanted to go for a different Jet angle here, a kind of angry, regretting thing. I'm not sure if it worked or not so please let me know. I'm going to do a Faye and an Edward version continuation. I'm also going to do a Spike pov about his death but I probably won't put it with these because it probably won't be a songfic, unless I can come up with a good song. Anyways enjoy and remember, helpful criticism is always accepted and flame if you must.
Declaimer: If I owned Bebop do you think I would be writing fanfics.

Throw away the radio,
suitcase keeps you awake.
Hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case,
you realize that sometimes you're just not okay.
You level off, level off, level off…
"I don't know why I'm so distraught. We all knew it would come to this, we were just waiting for it to actually happen. Spike was already dead and it was about time his body joined him but… ::sigh::. It didn't seem real till he actually did it."
But it's not alright now,
you need to understand
there's nothing strange about this.
You need to know your friends.
"Damn it! He had to run off again. You know what, I don't care. I swear I don't. He never treated us with any respect anyway. He just came and went as he pleased. He didn't show us any compassion. He acted like this was just where he was staying till he and Julia could go die. He wanted to die, he never cared and why should I."
You need to know that;
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown
watching you scream,
quiet or loud.
And maybe you should sleep.
And maybe you just need a friend
as clumsy as you've been
there's no one laughing
you will be safe in here.
You will be safe in here.
"I treated him like a son. I cared for him and helped him. I looked out for him and talked with him late into the night about things I didn't care about until I met him. He was…… well, ::awkward pause:: I guess he was my best friend. He would run off and come back with his spleen hanging out. I would help him get it back in and he would complain that he was sick of eating noodles. He just didn't ever give me any thanks. He thought he was so cool. He acted like he hated Faye and Ed and Ein. He acted like he didn't need me. Let him die."
Throw away this very old shoelace,
that tripped you again.
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
it's only skin now.
"Maybe he didn't. Maybe he didn't really need me. No he did, I didn't need him. I'm better off now, not him. He's dead. I'm alive and… better off."
You need to understand
there's nothing fake about this.
You need to let me in
I'm watching you and...
"He really is dead this time, isn't he? He isn't about to come crawling back in the door in dire need of a fix up. He's really gone. But… he died without even the slightest thought of us. Me, Faye, Ed, Ein, we never crossed his mind. We were the last thing on his list. Do you have any idea how much that hurts Spike! Huh? Can you hear me jackass? You stayed here. You were part of the crew. Does it mean nothing to you? Sorry, its just… I guess I am kinda sad. When he was around I wanted to beat his stupid ass for being such an idiot, when he left I wanted to beat his stupid ass for being such an idiot and now he's gone. And not only do I want to beat his stupid ass for being an idiot but I want to hear him complain about the noodles and fight with Faye. I want to hear his smart-aleck remarks. And most of all I want to want to beat his stupid ass for being such an idiot."
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown,
watching you scream.
No one's around.
And maybe you should sleep.
And maybe you just need a friend
as clumsy as you've been,

You will be safe in here.
you will be safe in...
"So where do I go from here. I could keep hunting bounties with Faye. She's about as much of a wreck as me. And she's like a female Spike so… I want to beat her stupid ass. ::Sigh:: I could always go look for Edward, her dad will never satisfy her need for a father. I guess I should stop moping and screaming and get on with out. Spike is dead and that is that."
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown
watching you scream;
quiet or loud.
And maybe you should sleep.
And maybe you just need a friend
as clumsy as you've been.
There's no one laughing.
You will be safe in here.
You will be safe in here.
You will be safe in here.
In here.
"Spike if you listening, thank you. See you around space cow.."
"Jet, who the fuck are you talking to?"
"Well, errrrr, Spike always talked to the fan so I just thought… that I could try."
"Whatever."
