Container for my Joy
Yo ho, me hearties! I haven't been able to get this song out of my head all day. So I thought I'd share.

VALJEAN
One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!

MARIUS
I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?


VALJEAN
One day more.

MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you, my world has started!


EPONINE
One more day all on my own.

MARIUS & COSETTE
Will we ever meet again?


EPONINE
One more day with him not caring.

MARIUS & COSETTE
I was born to be with you.


EPONINE
What a life I might have known.

MARIUS & COSETTE
And I swear I will be true!


EPONINE
But he never saw me there!

ENJOLRAS
One more day before the storm!


MARIUS
Do I follow where she goes?


ENJOLRAS
At the barricades of freedom.


MARIUS
Shall I join my brothers there?


ENJOLRAS
When our ranks begin to form


MARIUS
Do I stay; and do I dare?


ENJOLRAS
Will you take your place with me?


ALL
The time is now, the day is here


VALJEAN
One day more!

JAVERT
One more day to revolution,
We will nip it in the bud!
We'll be ready for these schoolboys,
They will wet themselves with blood!

VALJEAN
One day more!

M. & MME. THENARDIER
Watch 'em run amuck,
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Here a little `dip'
There a little `touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much!

STUDENTS
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high!
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won


ALL
Do you hear the people sing?


MARIUS
My place is here, I fight with you!


VALJEAN
One day more!

MARIUS & COSETTE
I did not live until today.


EPONINE
One more day all on my own!

MARIUS & COSETTE
How can I live when we are parted?


JAVERT
I will join these people's heros
I will follow where they go
I will learn their little Secrets,
I will know the things they know.

VALJEAN
One day more!

MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away


EPONINE
What a life I might have known!

MARIUS & COSETTE
And yet with you my world has started


JAVERT
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these
Schoolboys

THENARDIERS
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all!

ALL
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!


I just love that song, for a plethora of reasons

I spy NaNoWriMo on the horizon, landlubbers! It's a little unclear whether it's starting on the 1st October, but that seems to be the outlook. Shiver me timbers!

In case you're wondering why I'm talking like this, it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day, savvy? Isn't that the greastest thing you've heard all day? I know it certainly is for me! (You might've been able to guess from the subject title that today wasn't my favourite of all the days. I really shouldn't go on his band's website. It equals angry tears. I was going to post a really angsty livejournal post about it until I remembered I wasn't fourteen, or an emo.)

Lord knows I could do with some rum. Easy on the really bad eggs, though.
