I'm not particularly a Charlie fan, but I have been hanging onto the song for a while in case I ever get around to making another vid with him (beyond 'Only the Good Die Young.')
Anyway, Jellyfish was an early 90s band that sounded a lot like Queen: Literate, bouncy pop songs with a lot of good lyricism to them. Since probably not many people know the band, I'll post the lyrics: It should be obvious from them why this is a Charlie song. (I'm thinking Claire should be Mrs. Lynn giving birth to the "savior" too, obviously.)
Quote: | Ugly apparition, God's gift to oxygen
The puffed-up immortal son
How they love him cause he'll become
The ghost at number one
How does it feel to be the only one?
How does it feel to be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel to be a loaded gun?
How does it feel inside a chamber packed with piss and spite?
Sure, life's no cherry but a cupcake for the meek
So he shoots up his poison 'till the frosting tastes so sweet
Yeah, he's givin' it all he's got
The king of rebels hit the jackpot
But his finish line was an artistic flop
Even the critics can't outrun the ghost at number one
How does it feel to be the only one?
How does it feel to be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel to be a chalk-line dollar sign?
How does it feel up at the address all the widows write?
Mrs. Lynn, the fruit of your labor gives us a savior, nappy superstar.
To you we bid congratulations, to him adulation.
A blessed life begun, for the ghost at number one.
How does it feel to be the only one?
How does it feel to be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel to be a visionary poet?
How does it feel to pack a pen with vinegar and insight?
How does it feel to be the only one?
How does it feel to be the only one that knows that you're right?
How does it feel to be so deep down underground?
How does it feel to be the only one who knows you've been buried alive? |
Here's the MP3, if you're intrigued. Hopefully someone is! _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

I'll think about giving this a try....I've sort of been in a vidding block for awhile but maybe I need to vid my favorite character again to get out of it. Will let you know if I decide to do it! _________________

Hee! No worries if not, Eryn: I just wanted to point you to it since I know you like him. It's a fun, fun song, but I figured the actual Charlie fans around here might get even more of a kick out of doing it than I would. _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
