Song #6 – Raise Your Glass
Sung by Redd Heart
Redd Heart:
V.1
Right, right, bring on the fight,
They're gonna lose their heads tonight,
What's the dealio?
I love it when it gets too much,
Get ready now, 'cause here I come,
Heads are gonna roll!
Bridge
Party crasher,
A throne-snatcher,
Call me up if you want all that.
Don't be stupid, just get a clue,
Why so serious?
Chorus
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways,
All my followers,
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks!
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and raise your glass!
V.2
Slam, slam, that's my plan,
What part of party don't you understand?
Knew you'd all just freak out (freak out already!).
Can't stop, see what I got,
I could kill you all, right on the spot,
That's so on right now (so *****n' on right now!).
Bridge
Party crasher,
A throne-snatcher,
Call me up if you want all that.
Don't be stupid, just get a clue,
Why so serious?
Chorus
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways,
All my followers,
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks!
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and raise your glass!
V.3
(Oh Issa, my glass is empty, how sad)
So if you're up to no good,
And you're treated like a fool,
You can join and let it go,
We can always, we can always
Party on our own …
Chorus
So raise your – OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways,
All my followers,
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks!
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways,
All my followers,
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks!
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass! (For me!)
Just come on and come on and raise your glass! (Your Queen!)
Heh heh, another song ruined by yours truly. XP I hope Pink doesn't mind, because I'm wrong for the right reasons. Why is it Redd gets to sing all the nice songs? Of course, Redd can pull off any Lady Gaga song if she wanted to. I hope you guys don't mind the fact that Redd sweared in the second verse (three guesses for what she said), and I'm sorry if I caused any offense.
Setting for this song? Alyss's party, of course! Well, as she and her Card army arrives, during the attack and the aftermath, after which everyone starts celebrating with their own party, and Redd gives a toast to the new queen - her, obviously. Better raise your glass, otherwise you'll lose your head like the person in the final chorus. I can imagine the song also being sung whilst giving that speech to her troops before they went to the palace, remember? She's persuading anybody who's up to no good to join her posse.
Next: it's time for Hatter Madigan (I'm not lying!) to croon, and what's better than Elton John's Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Seeya! ;)
