Sheep! Lyrics meme

[winter]

Stolen from penknife, because I need a distraction from the state of the economy:

Name a character or pairing from a fandom I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a song lyric (or possibly a line of poetry) that I think fits.

Any fandom from the tags, and any other you know I'm familiar with, is fair game :)

Elizabeth Swann

[winter]

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

(The rhythm more than the lyrics here, I think. There's an energy to this song that's all Elizabeth, taking chances and taking names.)

And also, but in German, because the English lyrics suck:

Morgen bin ich wieder brav
Heute bin ich schwach
Morgen brauch ich Schlaf
Heute bin ich wach.
Jetzt tu ich was ich will,
jetzt will ich was ich fühl
und ich fühl den Hunger nach Glück
und den Durst auf das Leben

Arthur Pendragon

[winter]

It's coming through a hole in the air
from those nights in Tiananmen Square
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there

I've always seen Camelot, the Camelot Arthur dreams of, in particular, as a dream as much as perfect democracy. Unreachable, perhaps, but worth reaching for.

Oh, him. :-/

The reality is never that easy.

Not a Cohen fan, I gather? I'm afraid he was the closest to a bard that I could recall. (My original pick was Vysotski, but my Cyrillic lyrics research skills are very poor.)

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Not really, in the sense of not knowing him well - I like him fine!

I found this meme super-hard! I thought it would be easy.

But mostly I was just thinking about the Camelot they want to have versus the Camelot they've got, and all the hard decisions Arthur's having to make.

[winter]

I think that's the difference between bard-song and reality. I like the way they're treating it in the show so far.

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do too! I just sometimes feel bad for Arthur and his conflicting duties.

Hell is gone and heaven's here
There's nothing left for you to fear
Shake your arse come over here
Now scream

:P

Shirou Kamui XD;

[winter]

Don't look, don't look
The shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always see
This trembling, adored, toussled bird-mad girl

(Kamui/Kotori 4ever!)

Túrin Turambar. Yay, ANGST! :D

[winter]

I'm in love with you
And it's crushing my heart
All I want is you
To take me into your arms

(C'mon, Túrin would so listen to HIM ^_^)
