I'm so glad that you all loved Castle on a Cloud. It's my favorite song in all of Les Miserables. When I was a sophomore I was in the musical. I played Cosette when she was a young adult. I hope you all love this chapter. I was singing the song while I was writing it.:D
Chapter 14
Master of the House
After Aria ran to the woods to fetch some water from the well like she was told to, Gollum stormed over to another creature that was looked like him. That one's name was Smeagol. When Gollum was at his feet, he kicked them hard that it woke him up even with words that Gollum said to him. "Wakey, wakey. We're opening." That was when soldiers of Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Isengard, Minas Morgul, men of Bree, dwarves of Erebor, and elves of Mirkwood came for food, drink, and to stay the night. The orcs and men will often fight or drink with the elves and dwarves. People came in and one by one Smeagol and Gollum gave them a welcome that will turn out to be a empty pocket in the end. This is when the two creatures began their time to rob the people of Bree.
(Smeagol)
Welcome, M'sieur
Sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rent
All of them crooks
Rooking their guests and cooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent who's content to be
Master of the House
Doling out the charm
Ready with an handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale
Makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to be a friend of favour
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a price
Master of the House
Keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two
Watering the wine
Making up the weight
Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus, won't I bleed 'em in the end
(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)
Master of the House
Quick to catch your eye
Never wants a passer-by to pass by
Servant to the poor
Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher and lifelong mate
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
(Smeagol)
But lock up your valises
Jesus, won't I skin you to the bone
[Sauron comes in the inn]
(Smeagol)
Enter, M'sieur
Lay down your load
Unlace your boots and rest from the road
This weighs a ton
Travel's a cruse
But here we strive to lighten your purse
Here the goose is cooked
Here the fat is fried
And nothing's overlooked till I'm satisfied
Food beyond compare
Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef
Kidney off a horse
Liver off a cat
Filling in the sausages with this and that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suit is occupied
Reasonable charges plus some little extras on the side
Charge 'em for the lice
Extra for the mice
Two per cent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice
There a little cut
Three per cent for sleeping with the windows shut
When it come to fixing prices
There are lots of tricks he knows
How it all increases
All them bits and piaces
Jesus, it's amazing how it grows
(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)
Master of the House
Quick to catch your eye
Never wants passer-by to pass him by
Servant of the poor
Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher, life-long mate
Everybody's boon companin
Gives 'em everything he's got
(Smeagol)
Dirty bunch of geezers
Jesus, what a sorry little lot
(Gollum)
I used to dream that I will meet a prince
But God Almighty, have you've seen what's happened since?
"Master of the House"
Isn't worth me spit
"Comforter, philosopher" and lifelong shit
Cunning little brain
Regular Voltaire
Thinks he quiet a lover but there's not much there
What a cruel trick of natrue
Landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lived with this bastard in the house
(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)
Master of the House
(Gollum)
Master and a half
(Smeagol, Men Elves, Dwarves, Orcs)
Comforter, philosopher
(Gollum)
Don't make me laugh
(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs)
Servant to the poor
Butler to the great
(Gollum)
Hypocrite and toady and inebriate
(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)
Everybody bless the landlord
Everybody bless his friend
(Smeagol)
Everybody raise a glass
(Gollum)
Raise it up to the master's arse
(Gollum, Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)
Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!
The night was long as Gollum and Smeagol were stealing from every one. Even Sauron the Lord of Mordor. Meanwhile at the well, Aria was fetching the water when someone came up to her.
There's chapter 14. I hoped you all enjoyed. I was singing this song and watching the movie at the same time I was writing this chapter and I was at this song in the movie.:)
