Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. I never expected to have such
good feedback. Unfortunately this will be my last post as I have run out of
songs to copy. If any of you have any suggestions of another musical
parody, let me know; LOTR does Les Miserables maybe? Or maybe not!! But any
way thanks again.

So it's done (*Life's a show*)
(Frodo has just risen from his bed after been saved by Aragorn. He wanders around thinking of all that has past.)
Frodo: (Sounding a little depressed)
So it's done
And I am still alive
Lucky to have been revived
Never thought that we'd survive
And now I'm here
(Spots Pip and Merry playing about and smiles)
And my friends are by my side
And they all sing with pride
Cos evils been defied
So the king - has come (Shot of Aragorn)
And we will all - have peace
And I hope - in time
There will come - a day
When I, can too (Sits down, head in hands)
Live like before
And forget this world I've come to know
Don't give me praise
Don't give me praise
(Looks up to the sky)
Give me something to live for
I need something to live for
(Stands and starts walking again)
We are free
And my friends will celebrate (Shot of men drinking and cheering)
The deeds they've done are great
And they never will abate
But I feel
Like my souls been ripped away
And there's nothing left to say
It was just my price to pay (Holds his maimed hand to his chest where the ring should have been)
Sam will be - in tales (Shot of Sam)
Merry and Pip, they'll hail (Shot of Merry and Pip)
My kith, my kin, my friends (Panning sweep of the fields)
Hero's till - the end
But me, what then?
I know they care
But this thing will always be there
And this world I've freed
Won't be mine to need (Sighs heavily and pauses)
Who needs renown, who needs the fame?
When all I'll feel is pain
Forever
Now the King is crowned
And the world may be free
But I will not be
Forever
(Raises his arms) So give me something to live for
Please give me something
The music rises as Frodo sobs despairingly
Sam: (Walking up he takes Frodo's hand in his own)
This what you feel
You don't have to become
What you have done
Is save us (Turns to look at him)
This now is real
The past is the past
You've done more than asked
And saved us
You know you have saved us
Remember that you saved us
Gandalf: (Speaking) Life is now yours to live Frodo
Both Hobbits look up at Gandalf; Frodo has tears in his eyes.
*************************************************************************
When will I go? (*Where do I go from here?*)
(Having left Gondor, the hobbits, Gandalf and Elrond are riding north towards Rivendell. Frodo is thinking of what the future holds for himself and when he will finally be at peace.)
Frodo: (Riding at the back of the train)
When will I go into the west?
When will I go into the west?
I shall go forth
(Looks to the north) To my home in the North
And finally end this quest
But when will I go into the west?
Now my way should be blessed
Filled with hope and with jest
But I don't know
To what end I go
Or when, it can't be guessed
Tell me
When will I go into the west?
When shall I face the final test?
And end this pain beneath my breast
Here I'll grieve
So I'll have to leave
Even though they'll all protest
When will I go into the west?
(Cut forward to a year later Sam and Frodo are riding back through the Old Forest towards Rivendell)
*Buffy and Spikes finale*
Frodo: (Speaking) Sam.
Sam: (Speaking) Are you going to leave me?
Frodo: So after all it's come to this
Sam: I'm here
Frodo: And now I have to leave this land
(Cut to Sam who is looking at Frodo with tears in his eyes)
Sam: Please don't leave me now
Frodo looks at Sam
Frodo: I have tried
But something inside has died
Sam: You don't have to hide (Starts crying)
Frodo: I have to go to the west
(The camera sweeps up above the shire, panning out to show the whole of middle earth then fades to black and the rousing chorus finishes)
The End
