Megacity 2017

(Apologies to Billy Joel)

Seen the lights go out on Park East

I saw MegaCity laid low

And life went on back on the hovercraft

We all ate Tastee Wheat

It seems so long ago

They held a concert out in Mannsdale

To watch the island bridges blow

They turned our power down

And drove us underground

But we went right on with the show

I've seen the lights go out on Park East

I saw the ruins at my feet

You know we almost didn't notice it

We'd seen it all the time, on every Richland street

They burned down Succubus in Stamos

Like the very pits of hell

The flames were ev'rywhere

But no one really cared

It always burned up there before

I've seen the lights go out on Park East

I watched the mighty skyline fall

The boats were waiting down at Bathary

The union went on strike

They never sailed at all

They sent a hover' out to Mara

And picked some Coders up for free

They said Kowloon could stay

And blew Magog away

And then sank Chelsea out at sea

You know those lights were bright on Park East

That was so many years ago

Before we all lived here in Sobra Shores

Before Exiles went and took over Kedemoth

There are not many who remember

They say a handful still survive

To tell the world about

The way the lights went out

And keep the memory alive...

**Trax**

lol! cracking!

**Rogue**

Ahh hell, I gotta find my Midian Park song.

**weaselgrrl**

Fortuantely, I have all the old songs in text files. I'll post 1 a day so I don't get accused of spamming... SMILEY

Mega-City by SpaceHog
(original title: Mungo City)

Welcome to this empty ministry of plenty
As I'm sure you know
We're clearly on display here
To remind you should you stray from here
Or decide to roam

Dossers dream of gossamer
And kissing with tongues
Well, they're falling in love with anyone
Races from all places though all under one sun,
well it sure was no fun
So I woke up and ran, ran, ran from Mega-City

Mega-City - Where you been?
You make us grey when skies are green
Mega-City, in my mind
Keeps a watchful eye on you and I

Don't think you're even thinking
Even though you're thinking: keep it underground
They're sending out distress codes
And playing with your mind though
You won't hear a sound

Nazis in their Japanese cars from Japan
Well, they're falling in love if only they can
I'm telling you the tribesman wouldn't stand for this, man
Well, it sure was no scam
So I woke up and ran, ran, ran from Mega-City

Mega-City - Where you been?
You make us grey when skies are green
Mega-City, in my mind
Keeps a watchful eye on you tonight

alright, gonna take a shot at this (apologies to the beatles for ripping off lucy and her diamonds)

Picture yourself on a boat, on a river, with skyscraper buildings, and black rainy skys

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, the agents with red flashing eyes

Constructed worlds of code and machine, towering over your head, look for the programs with code in their eyes and they're gone.

Neo in the skyyyyyyy, he's flyin', Neo in the skyyyyyyyyy, he's flyin', Neo in the skyyyyyy, he's flyin', aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Machines and Zion, Meros there too, making a scene, pvp all the while,

Redpills and Bluepills, living together, the architect watches and smiles,

Hyper-speed leads to hardlines of code, waiting to take you awaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy, look for the oracle, future inside and she's gone.

Neo in the skkkkkyyyyyyyyyyyy he's flyin', Neo in the skkyyyyyyyyyyyy, he's flyin', Neo in the skyyyyyyyyyyyyy, he's flyin, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh well though i'd give it a shot, once again i apologize to the Beatles

**weaselgrrl**

Awesome additions!

I have to go find Mungo City now since I am unfamiliar with the
song. The words are great even without knowing the tune.
And ripping the Beatles is always fun...

Zion, Down Under

Apologies to Men At Work

----------------

Traveling in a fried-out hover

On a bluepill's trail, we dove for cover

I met a strange Agent, he made me nervous

He took me in and gave me code bits

And he said,

Do you come from Zion, down under?

Where redpills go and redpills plunder?

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.

Buying code from a man in Mara

He was hawking frags and dressed in Roca

I said, do you have any Objects?

He just smiled and gave me a Merv Cake sandwich

And he said,

I come from Zion, down under

Where data flows and spies plunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.

Dancing in a club in Chelsea

With a slack jaw, and not much to say

I said to the Agent, are you trying to tempt me

Because I come from the land of parties?

And he said,

Oh! do you come from Zion, down under? (oh yeah yeah)

Where redpills go and redpills plunder?

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.

**Rogue**

WeaselGrrl, do you have my old song "Midian Park, parody of MacArthur Park" in your text file? If so, can you post it?

HiLiter

Hiya

Saw the songs and couldn't resist having a go.

It's a bit rubbish cos it's the first darft.

When I Come Around

(Apologies to Billy Joe)

I heard you crying loud

All the way across town

You've been searching for that someone

And it's Morpheus but how?

As you sit around typing and straining your eyes.

I know your looking for

The one to set you free

He’s just roaming for the moment

Wandering along the streets at night don’t look up

There’s danger just do as I say

No time to search the world around

'Cause you know where he’ll be found:

When he comes around

I heard it all before

I knocked at the Oracle’s door

She said: Your cute, you got potential

But I’m afraid your not the one

But little did he know that Morpheus was right

So now that your awake

And you’ve turned out to be a fake

You may find out that your self-doubt

Means in fact you are the one

You’ve got special powers so

Now it’s up to you!

No time to search the world around

'Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

**weaselgrrl**

Nice one Hiliter!

RogueA, I'll check my archives at home. Will see what I can find...

"Coding by Myself"

Apologies to Billy Idol

Thanks to [CotC] Raula

On the streets of Bath'ry Row

Or down in Stamos town to go, go

With my hardline selection

And my sunglass reflection

I am coding by myself

When there's no-one else in sight

In the crowded lonely night

Well I wait so long

For some isolation

And I'm coding by myself

Oh coding by myself

Oh coding by myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be coding by myself

If I looked through all of the hardlines

And there is no enemy sign

The PvP eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me coding by myself

So let's code another skill

'Cause it'll give me time to chill

If I had the will

I'd code the world some pills

And I'll be coding by myself

Oh coding by myself

Oh coding by myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be coding by myself

**weaselgrrl**

Rogue! I found it in the Archives SMILEY

RogueA's parody on MacArthur Park

Apologies to Richard Harris (And Donna Summer, If I Recall)

--------------------------------------------------

We will not approve of this infliction

'Cause getting burned to death

Really makes me kind of mad

Behind deciving pages of news press

Saving grace pursued

Before crushing into cans

--------------------

CHORUS

Midian Park is eerie in the dark

All the PvP was going wild

The Agents turned jackout off and it rained

They didn't know that we could take it

Many of us couldn't make it

And they'll never get to jack back in again

Oh, no!

--------------------

I recall the streams of the red code

Falling like the rain

On everything 'round 'thee

You gun, your tender baby in your hand

And Morpheus getting assaulted... by a bee

--------------------

CHORUS

Midian Park is eerie in the dark

All the PvP was going wild

The Agents turned jackout off and it rained

They didn't know that we could take it

Many of us couldn't make it

And they'll never get to jack back in again

Oh, no!

--------------------

There will be another chance for me

For I will buy it

There will be another life for me

Someone will burn it

I will laugh at the death storm

And never let me catch you looking at the eyes

And after all the bits of strife

After all the bits of strife

He'll still be the One.

--------------------

I will take the life I have given me and use it

I will gain reputation in their eyes and I will lose it

I will never again be caught on fire

As he in passion flies like rivers through the sky

And after all the bits of strife

After all the bits of strife

We'll be think of you

And wondering why?

--------------------

CHORUS

Midian Park is eerie in the dark

All the PvP was going wild

The Agents turned jackout off and it rained

They didn't know that we could take it

Many of us couldn't make it

And they'll never get to jack back in again

Oh, no!

Oh, No

No, No

Oh, NO!!!
