[foxgloveparrot]

Why did we skip so much...?
Where's Farmer Refuted
You'll Be Back
Right Hand Man
A Winter's ball
Helpless

 

[StormyPica]

I-
just went on to the next song, satisfied

 

[foxgloveparrot]

I-
just went on to the next song, satisfied

NOT THE NEXT SONG WHAT
Ok I'm continuing from Farmer Refuted

Hear ye, hear ye, my name is Samuel Seabury
And I present "Free Thoughts on the Proceedings of the Continental Congress"
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart
Oh my God, tear this dude apart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don't let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me
Let him be
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame
Yo, he'd have you all unravel at the (heed not the rabble)
Sound of screams but the (who scream)
Revolution is comin' (revolution, they)
The have-nots are gonna (have not your)
Win this (interests)
It's hard to listen to you with a straight face (at heart)
Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us (chaos and bloodshed are not a)
Honestly, you shouldn't even talk (solution)
And what about Boston? (Don't let them)
Look at the cost, n' all that we've lost n' you talk (lead you astray)
About Congress? (this Congress does not speak for me)
My dog speaks more eloquently than thee
(they're playing a dangerous game)
But strangely, your mange is the same
(I pray the king shows you his mercy)
Is he in Jersey?
(For shame)
For the revolution
(For shame)
For the revolution
Heed
If you repeat yourself again I'm gonna
Scream
Honestly, look at me, please don't read
Not your interests
Don't modulate the key then not debate with me
Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?
Alexander, please
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive, drop the niceties
Silence, a message from the king
A message from the king
A message from the king

 

[foxgloveparrot]

You say
The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
You cry
In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you're making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man

 

[StormyPica]

You say
The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
You cry
In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you're making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man
You'll be back, soon you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
You'll be back, time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da
You say our love is draining and you can't go on
You'll be the one complaining when I am gone
And no, don't change the subject
'Cause you're my favorite subject
My sweet, submissive subject
My loyal, royal subject
Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever
You'll be back like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love, for your praise
And I'll love you 'til my dying days
When you're gone, I'll go mad
So don't throw away this thing we had
'Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat-
Everybody!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da, da da da
Dat dat da ya da!

 

[foxgloveparrot]

British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor
When they surround our troops
They surround our troops
When they surround our troops
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
I knew that I was poor; I knew it was the only way to
Rise up
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or
Rise up
I will fight for this land, but there's only one man
Who can give us a command, so we can
Rise up
Understand, it's the only way to
Rise up
Rise up
Here he comes
Here comes the general!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Here comes the general!
The moment you've been waiting for!
Here comes the general!
The Pride of Mount Vernon!
Here comes the general!
George Washington!
We are out-gunned
(What!)
Out-manned
(What!)
Out-numbered, out-planned
(Boom, boom, boom; boom, boom!)
We gotta make an all-out stand
Hey yo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man
(Boom, boom, boom; boom, boom!)
Check it —
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up to put me up on a pedestal, writing letters to relatives
Embellishing my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in your face
When you hear the British cannons go
Boom!
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look
We are out-gunned
(What!)
Out-manned
(What!)
Out-numbered, out-planned!
(Boom, boom, boom; boom, boom)
We gotta make an all-out stand
Hey yo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man
(Boom, boom, boom; boom, boom)
Incoming!
They're battering down the Battery, check the damages
(Brrah!)
We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages
(Brrah!)
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us
Hamilton won't abandon ship; yo, let's steal their cannons!

 

[StormyPica]

Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray, and
(Boom!)
Goes the cannon, we're abandoning Kips Bay, and
(Boom!)
There's another ship, and
(Boom!)
We just lost the southern tip, and
(Boom!)
We gotta run to Harlem quick; we can't afford another slip
Guns and horses giddy up
I decide to divvy up my forces
They're skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny:
"Are these the men with which I am to defend America?"
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I cannot be everywhere at once, people!
I'm in dire need of assistance
Your Excellency, sir
Who are you?
Aaron Burr, sir
Permission to state my case?
As you were
Sir, I was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec, and well, in summary:
I think that I could be of some assistance
I admire how you keep firing on the British from a distance
Huh
I have some questions, a couple of suggestions
On how to fight instead of fleeing west
Yes?
Well —
Your Excellency? You wanted to see me?
Hamilton, come in. Have you met Burr?
Yes, sir!
We keep meeting...
As I was saying, sir
I look forward to seeing your strategy play out —
Burr?
Sir?
Close the door on your way out
Have I done something wrong, sir?
On the contrary
I called you here because our odds are beyond scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh —
Sir?
Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?
Sir!
Don't get me wrong; you're a young man of great renown
I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown
Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox wanted to hire you —
Yeah, to be their secretary! I don't think so.
Now why are you upset?
I'm not?
It's all right you want to fight: you've got a hunger
I was just like you when I was younger
Head full of fantasies of dying like a martyr
Yes
Dying is easy, young man; living is harder
Why are you telling me this?

 

[StormyPica]

OMG THE POLLS ALMOST CLOSED!!!

24 minutes to get your votes in!

 

[foxgloveparrot]

*get rid of satisfied*
I'm being honest
I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised
We are a powder keg about to explode
I need someone like you to lighten the load
So?
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
I am not throwing away my shot
Son, we are out-gunned, out-manned!
You need all the help you can get, I have some friends:
Laurens, Mulligan, Marquis de Lafayette! Okay, what else?
Outnumbered, outplanned!
We'll need some spies on the inside
Some king's men who might let some things slide
Boom!
I'll write to Congress and tell them we need supplies
You rally the guys, master the element of surprise
Chick-a-boom!
I'll rise above my station, organize your information
'Til we rise to the occasion of our new nation, sir!
Here comes the general!
Rise up!
What!
Here comes the general!
Rise up!
What!
Here comes the general!
Rise up!
What!
Here comes the general!
What!
And his right-hand man!
Boom!

 

[StormyPica]

How does the b*strd, orphan, son of a wh*re
Go on and on
Grow into more of a phenomenon?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother
Be seated at the right hand of the father
Washington hires Hamilton right on sight
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write
Now Hamilton's skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common
We're reliable with the
Ladies
There are so many to deflower
Ladies
Looks
Proximity to power
Ladies
They delighted and distracted him
Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him
That's true
Seventeen-eighty
A winter's ball
And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you're rich, son
Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?
Hey
Hey
Hey hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

 

[foxgloveparrot]

Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Hey!
Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo!
Boy, you got me helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm
Helpless!
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went
"Boom!"
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister, and whisper
"Yo, this one's mine." (Oooh)
My sister made her way across the room to you (Oooh)
And I got nervous, thinking
"What's she gonna do?" (Oooh)
She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin'
"I'm through" (Oooh)
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm
Helpless!
Look into your eyes (Oh, look at those eyes)
And the sky's the limit (Oh!)
I'm helpless (I know)
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm helpless! (I'm so into you)
Look into your eyes (I am so)
And the sky's the limit (into you)
I'm helpless! (I know)
I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

 

[StormyPica]

I'm helpless! (I'm so into you)
Look into your eyes (I am so)
And the sky's the limit (into you)
I'm helpless! (I know)
I'm down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
Then by all means, lead the way
Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler?
My sister
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet
It will have been worth it
I'll leave you to it
One week later
I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better
Every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister, 'cause she wants to form a harem
I'm just sayin', if you really loved me
You would share him
Ha! Two weeks later
In the living room stressin'
My father's stonefaced
While you're asking for his blessin'
I'm dying inside, as you wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry
'Cause there's nothing that your mind can't do (Oooh)
My father makes his way across the room to you (Oooh)

 

[foxgloveparrot]

I panic for a second, thinking
"We're through" (Oooh)
But then he shakes your hand and says
"Be true" (Oooh)
And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
Helpless!
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit, I'm
Helpless!
Down for the count (Woo)
And I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm helpless!
He's mine, that boy is mine!
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit, I'm
Helpless! Helpless!
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command
A dollop of fame
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
And long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to God, you'll never feel so

 

[StormyPica]

STORMY IS OBSESSED WITH HAMILTON TIKTOK

 

[StormyPica]

I do I do I do I do!
Eliza (Helpless!)
I do I do I do I do!
I've never felt so-
Helpless! (Hey! Yeah, yeah!)
Down for the count and
I'm drownin' in 'em (Down for the count I'm)
My life is gon' be fine cuz Eliza's in it
I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm (Helpless!)
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em
In New York, you can be a new man
In New York, you can be a new man
In New York, you can be a new man
Helpless!

 

[foxgloveparrot]

All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about!
Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler!
A toast to the groom!
To the groom, to the groom (to the groom)
To the bride!
To the bride. To the bride (to the bride)
From your sister
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To your union
To the union! (To the union)
To the revolution!
And the hope that you provide
You provide (You provide)
May you always (Always)
Be satisfied
(Rewind)
Rewind
Rewind
Helpless... Skies... skies...
Drownin' in 'em... Drowning
Rewind
I remember that night I just might (rewind!)
I remember that night I just might (rewind)
I remember that night,
I remember that...
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys
Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight

 

[StormyPica]

Like a dream that you can't quite place
But Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said "Hi, " I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev'ry part aflame
This is not a game
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
I'm sure I don't know what you mean
You forget yourself
You're like me, I'm never satisfied
Is that right?
I have never been satisfied
My name is Angelica Schuyler
Alexander Hamilton
Where's your family from?
Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
Just you wait, just you wait
So so so...
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level! what the hell is the catch?

 

[foxgloveparrot]

It's the feeling of freedom, of seeing the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
You see it right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement!
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance.
He's a bit of a flirt, but I'mma give it a chance
I asked about his fam'ly, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance
He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants
Handsome, boy does he know it
Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is
Helpless
And I know she is
Helpless
And her eyes are just
Helpless
And I realize
Three fundamental truths at the exact same time
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
Then by all means, lead the way
Number one!
I'm a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha, that doesn't mean I want him any less
Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler?
My sister!
Number two!
He's after me because I'm a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status, I'd
Have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza
Now that's his bride
Nice going Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I'll leave you to it!
Number three!
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned
He'd be mine
She would say "I'm fine"
She'd be lying
But when I fantasize at night, it's Alexander's eyes
As I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't sized
Him up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza's his wife
At least I keep his eyes in my life
To the groom!
To the groom, to the groom, to the groom
To the bride!
To the bride
To the bride (to the bride)
From your sister
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Who is always by your side
By your side, by your side
To your union
To the union!
To the revolution!
And the hope that you provide
You provide. You provide
May you always
Always
Be satisfied
Satisfied, (satisfied), satisfied
And I know (be satisfied) ((be satisfied)) (be satisfied)
She'll be happy as his bride (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
And I know ((be satisfied)) (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
((be satisfied))
He will never be satisfied
I will never be satisfied

 

[StormyPica]

I may not live to see our glory!
(I may not live to see our glory!)
But I've seen wonders great and small
(I've seen wonders great and small)
'Cause if the tomcat can get married
(If Alexander can get married)
There's hope for our ass, after all!
Raise a glass to freedom (Hey!)
Something you will never see again!
No matter what she tells you
Let's have another round tonight!
Raise a glass to the four of us! (Ho!)
To the newly not poor of us! (Woo!)
We'll tell the story of tonight
Let's have another round
Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr (Sir!)
I didn't think that you would make it
To be sure (Burr!)
I came to say congratulations
Spit a verse, Burr!
I see the whole gang is here
You are the worst, Burr!
