Another songfic. I didn't think I had it in me ;D This is another one by
the Corrs, (by the way, if you haven't guessed, I love the Corrs) called
Dreams. It's for when Alanna and Jon break up. The stuff I write with the
characters are some bits I imagined up, not actually in the books.
**Disclaimer: The characters are Tamora Pierce's although the writing's
mine and the song's the Corrs**
"Damn you Alanna. Will you just shut the hell up for once!"
"Oh excuse me. Have I offended the royal ego? So sorry."
"I don't know why I bother."
"If you don't like it then go home to your precious ladies. I'm sure they spend hours flattering you. The ego will like that."
NOW HERE YOU GO AGAIN
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM
WELL WHO AM I TO KEEP YOU DOWN
IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT YOU SHOULD
PLAY THE WAY YOU FEEL IT
BUT LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE SOUND
OF YOUR LONELINESS
LIKE A HEARBEAT.DRIVES YOU MAD
IN THE STILLNESS OF REMEMBERING WHAT YOU HAD
AND WHAT YOU LOST.
AND WHAT YOU HAD.
AND WHAT YOU LOST
'I miss him. But I won't let that on. I bet Gary and Roaul will take his side. He has a way of making people do that. Am I so un feminine?'
'Don't ask me, I'm only a cat.'
'Faithful. You know more than you let on, I know you do.'
'Well, I'm not letting on, am I?'
THUNDER ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING
PLAYERS ONLY LOVE YOU WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING
SAY.WOMEN.THEY WILL COME AND THEY WILL GO
WHEN THE RAIN WASHES YOU CLEAN. YOU'LL KNOW
(Jon to Gary) "How dare she? I offered her the world."
"Maybe the world was too big."
"You would take her side, you always do."
(Alanna to Thom) "That man is egotistical!"
"Well."
"Thom, you're MY brother. Don't take his side. I SAW him the other day."
"What, as in magic, SAW?"
"Yes."
"I thought you hated magic."
"Shut up."
NOW HERE I GO AGAIN, I SEE THE CRYSTAL VISIONS
I KEEP MY VISIONS TO MYSELF
IT'S ONLY ME
WHO WANTS TO WRAP AROUND YOUR DREAMS AND.
HAVE YOU ANY DREAMS YOU'D LIKE TO SELL
DREAMS OF LONELINESS.
LIKE A HEARTBEAT. DRIVES YOU MAD
IN THE STILLNESS OF REMEMBERING WHAT YOU HAD.
AND WHAT YOU LOST.
WHAT YOU HAD.
AND WHAT YOU LOST
"If only he had a smaller ego."
"If only she didn't speak her mind."
"If only he treated me like a woman too."
"If only she was a real woman."
"Well, then he wouldn't be Jon."
"Then she wouldn't be Alanna."
