Music is the pillow that I cry my eyes into Music is the wise old man who tells me what to do Music is my Morgan Freeman Music is my Alan Arkin Music is the candlestick that guides me through the dark And if I had no home I'd still have music If I had no home I'd still have music If I had no home I'd still have music Coursing through my veins And if I had no hope I'd still have music If I had no hope I'd still have music If I had no hope I'd still have music Again and again and again and again and again Music is the shield that blocks the swords life swings at me And music is the Jekyll to the Hyde that I can be Music is the brother who will drag me sobbing from the flames As they engulf my goddamn life and take said goddamn life away And if I had no life I'd still have music If I had no life I'd still have music If I had no life I'd still have music Coursing through my veins And if I had no love I'd still have music If I had no love I'd still have music If I had no love I'd still have music Again and again and again and again and again Music is the pill that I take when I'm feeling sad And music is the £10 note I didn't know I had Music is the drum key that I use to tighten up my skin And music is the giant who gives me the strength to sing And if I had no strength I'd still have music If I had no strength I'd still have music If I had no strength I'd still have music Coursing through my veins And if I had no voice I'd still have music If I had no voice I'd still have music If I had no voice I'd still have music Again and again and again and again and again I'd still have music I'd still have music I'd still have music Again and again and again and again and again

Don't be the Robin Wright to my Cary Elwes Be the André the Giant to my Mandy Patinkin We can share the glory and the gold between us You are not a prize for me to win And if we triumph we will both be called the heroes And if we die then we will die by the same hand You will be my strength, and I your swordsman And you can bring the horses at the end You might ask why you have to be the giant But Fezzik plays a pretty flawless game If he hadn't smashed the door down for Inigo That six-fingered man would have gotten away And there's that time he got the key to storm the castle And when he wore that cloak of fire to reach the gate And there's that time he found Inigo in the forest And brought him 'round from his low-down drunken state So don't be the Buttercup to my handsome Westley Theirs is not the love that I admire Let's be Fezzik and Señor Montoya That's a love to which I can aspire And if we triumph we will both be called the heroes And if we die then we will die by the same hand You will be my strength, and I your swordsman And you can bring the horses at the end You can bring the horses at the end
