Night Rounds: 2008

Privet Drive *  Now That He is Gone *  Potion Master Blues * Just Like You * The Circle * Broom Ride * Tom of the Wild Moor * Leakey Cauldron*

Privet Drive

I don’t want to go back to the Dursley’s

Please don’t send me back to the Dursley’s

I want to go

With Ron to the burrow

 

You want to make me into some kind of Hero

But I don’t think I’m anybody’s Hero

Just wanna fly

My firebolt though the sky

 

But Dumbledore will do what he wants to do

No matter what, I ask him to

He holds the high hand, but I have my doubts

So it’s back to Privet Drive where the asphalt sprouts

 

We heard there was a rumbling at the Ministry

But I don’t care at all about the Ministry

I just want to save Sirius, but then I see

My name upon a prophecy

 

It tells me that I have to fight Voldemort

So I guess I will have to fight Voldemort

I want to say no but I have no voice

The Chosen One without a choice

 

 ‘Cause You-Know-Who does what he wants to do

No matter what I want him to

And then he sends his dark messengers to tempt me

But I’ve lived on Privet Drive so all his threats are empty

 

Soon enough I think this will be over

I hope it will all soon be over

Can’t this just end?

My dark deluded friend?

 

I just have to find that last Horcrux

Oh right I am the last Horcrux

But I will still fight

I always do what’s right

 

Then I’m gonna do, what I want to do

No matter what you want me to

I’ll make the rules, I will be free

I’m the boy from Privet Drive so don’t you dare mess with me

 

Then I’m gonna do, what I want to do

No matter what you want me to

I’ll make the rules, I will be free

I’m the boy from Privet Drive so don’t you dare mess with me

Potion Master Blue

Let me tell you a story, it all started in class

It was a miracle I ever passed

My N.E.W.T.S, when all I did was dream about that dark haired Slytherin

 

Well, some think he’s greasy, others think he’s mean

But whenever I think of him my thought turn obscene

Here in the deep dark dungeons of Professor Snape

 

Chorus:

 Here I am, I’m livin’ on these, Potion Master blues

It’s a painful little problem, no one would ever choose

He’s all that I think about, he’s all that I see

Something in his haunted eyes for me holds the key

Come on Potions Master, won’t you be the master of me

 

Let me whip you up something, what ingredients do I need?

Some ashwinder eggs, violets, and fennel seed

Mix it counter clockwise for my dark haired Slytherin

 

No I’m not brewing glory, baby, I won’t bottle’ fame

Just a sweet dark elixir so you’ll know my name

Right here in the dungeons of Professor Snape

 

Chorus

 

I'm all grown now, I’m out of school

The war is over, Voldemort’s dead too

But I still pining away for that Slytherin

 

Well the word down on Diagon is you’re dead and gone

But my heart knows you’re out there listening to my song

So come on and meet me in your dungeons, Professor Snape

Chorus

 

The Circle

There’s a circle of death eaters

And your father’s there too

Do you dream of that circle?

With their black masks and dark mark tattoos?

Do you feel the day coming on?

When you’ll be forced to choose

To join that dark circle

Do you pray, do you pray the dark lord won’t come for you?

 

At night do you him screaming

From his 4 poster bed

High in Gryffindor tower

With the dark lord all up in his head

Will you stand with Harry on the battle field?

Or join the circle instead

Could you defy the circle?

Do you have the strength; what will you choose in the end?

 

Your parents they made their choice

They sealed their own fate

But tell me what will you choose?

Will you give into your heart or your hate?

For the day is coming for all of use

Every one of us, make no mistake

To choose the light or the circle

Do you fear; do you fear the choices you will make?

 

There’s a circle of death eaters

And your daddy’s there too

Do you dream of that circle?

With their black masks and dark mark tattoos?

Do you feel the day coming on?

When you’ll be forced to choose

To join that dark circle

Do you pray, do you pray the dark lord won’t come for you?

Tom of the Wild Moor

On a cold winter’s night,

As the wind blew across the wild moor

Merope was wandering lost heavy with child,

 When she came to the orphanage door

 

Help me, oh help me she cried.

Come down and open the door,

For this child of mine, will perish and die,

From the winds that blow across the wild moor.

 

So Merope gave birth to a son

Named him Tom for the man she adored,

Then she closed her eyes,

And quietly died

Abandoning the son that she bore

 

Years past until that dark day

When he came to a wizarding school

He was withdrawn and cold

His young story never told,

And he grew to be wicked and cruel.

 

But he never stopped searching for his family,

And he found them one fated afternoon

And no one they say

Lives there to this day,

And the manor was left to ruin.

 

The Muggles they point out the place,

Where the ivy grows over the door.

Saying there the Riddles died,

Though no one knows why,

From the boy who was born on the moor.

 

Tom, the boy who was born on the wild moor.

Voldemort, the boy born on, the wild moor.

 

 

Now That He is Gone

On the last day

When the end came

You did just what you said you would

And you laid the Dark Lord down

Now it’s the morning after

And it’s raining

Standing there with your empty hands

What will you do now?

 

Chorus:

Who are you, (who are you) now that he is gone?

Where will you go; (where will you go) where you do belong?

When there’s no one left to fight

And there’s no one left to save

Who are you at the end of the day?

 

Will you go to their funerals?

Kneel down by their graves

Will you weep for Lupin, will you weep for Fred

Who could never quite behave?

Will you curse your God then?

Shake your fist at the sky?

Demand to know why you were spared

When so many had to die?

 

Chorus

 

So on this morning after

Life’s work done by seventeen

Never had a chance to live

Never had a chance to dream

So you’re lost and fumbling

Living here on stolen time

Never expecting this day to come

How will you walk that line?

Chorus

Just Like You

When I got here

There was nobody

Who wouldn’t look at me funny

Or whisper behind me

 

There is a scar on my forehead

I try to hide under my hair (I try to hide under my hair)

Cause everybody wants to know how it got there

But I don’t know (I don’t know)

I don’t know (I don’t know)

 

Chorus:

I’m just like you

Nothing different nothing special

I’m just like you

Just like you

 

You want me to be your superhero (I am not your superhero)

Just because I got this mark (just because I got a mark)

Just because I got lucky, I don’t even know why

Don’t make me into a god I’m not

 

I’m just a boy (I’m just a boy)

Never had a charmed life, I’ll give you that

I’m finding my way, just like you are

I just want to find something close to normal in this life (I just want something normal in this life)

 

Chorus

 

I’ve got a feeling (yes I’ve got a feeling)

Life is always gonna be this way (life is gonna be this way)

I will never be look at quite the same as you (as you, not quite the same as you)

 

I’m just like you

Nothing different nothing special

I’m just like you

Just like you

No I’m just like you

I am different I am special

I’m just like you

Just like you

This could be you

Broom Ride

Oh no, where should I begin

This fast broom ride chaps my lips and my skin

Flying high, above the dull roar

And the thoughts of loosing you to war, you know

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

Oh, oh, oh

Flying higher feel your hand on my face

I’m transported to a different place

You and me down by the black lake

Always thought that loving you was a mistake

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

 

Chorus:

I still miss your tumbling laughter

When it is dark and cold outside

I still hope for an ever after

But our love you sacrificed

I whisper your name and then I

Swallow it down like a sin

And my broken heart gets frozen by the wind

 

Summertime and your seventeen

So close can’t decide what this means

Something to remember me by

Kiss me so deep I thought that I would die

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

Oh, oh, oh

Ron barges in and you push me away

Smile sadly whisper “Happy Birthday”

An hour later I was back on my broom

I had to get away from you and that room, ya know

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

Oh, oh, oh

 

Chorus

 

So now, I’m waiting for you

Spend lonely hours flying round on this broom

Harry come home, I need you here

It would help me get over this fear, ya know

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

Oh, oh, oh

Have to except that you’re gone

Keep hope alive is silly and wrong

But up here in the clouds all alone

I think of you and then I feel at home

Oh, oh, oh

La da de da dum

Oh, oh, oh

Chorus

Leakey Cauldron

Tom is the barman and he works at the Leakey Cauldron

At the end of the alley

And he greets all the wizards on way to their shopping

Every Petra or Harfang or Sally

 

When Hannah took over, well Tom he stayed on

Cause he loved the after work crowd

When the Aurors come in, he pours those drinks heavy

So their secrets they whisper real loud

 

Chorus:

And it’s pour old Tom pour

Here’s a sickle pour more

Stop the night bus let the circus begin

Raise your glass make a toast

To the patrons and host

Of the place called the Leakey Cauldron

 

On Saturday afternoons, Hadrid comes in

With a smile etched deep on his face

And he sits at the bar and pours back a few drinks

And his laughter it rolls through the place

 

He slaps Minerva hard on her back

And she snorts her drink out her nose

We all laugh cause we know that he is quite harmless

But he always keep us on our toes

 

Chorus

 

Sometimes old Tom sees Harry and Ron

Come in after a long day at work

They drink till they are buzzing, and Ron yells while laughing

That Harry his boss is a jerk

 

They stay there quit late still reminiscing

As a howler is dropped to the floor

Ron grabs his coat, Hermione real angry

Harry laughs as he runs out the door.

 

Chorus

 

Tom leans back on the bar and he looks at the crowd

All the faces in here are the same

Here is a place where all wizards are welcome

Yes everyone knows everyone’s name

 

The Leakey Cauldron is dirty and gritty

And the pea soup it sometimes bites back (yikes)

But nothing would keep us away from her tables

But dragons or goblin attacks.

 

Chorus (2x)

 

Raise your glass give a toast

For those you love most

Right here at the Leakey Cauldron
