So we're making this musical for Music class as our exam and we're using some GC songs:) Read and enjoy!
FIRST SCENE: KANE
KANE: [GOOD MORNING REVIVAL]
I'm tired
Tired of running
I'm tired
Tired of listening
I'm tired
Tired of hurting
The day we could revive
Good morning
Good morning
Keep your sadness alive
CLAN: [FAMOUS LAST WORDS]
JACK: Now I know that I can't make you stay
WHOLE CLAN: but where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your?
JACK: And I know there's nothing I could say
WHOLE CLAN: To change that part
To change that part
To change
KANE: So many bright lights to cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A life that's so demanding, I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
KANE: Nothing you could say can stop me going home
Can you see my eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
KANE: I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
KANE: Nothing you could say can stop me going home
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
CLAN: I say
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Asleep or dead!
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!
SECOND SCENE: ESCAPE
KANE: I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
JACK: (Or dead!)
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
KANE: Nothing you can say can stop me going home
JACK: (Or dead!)
KANE: I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
JACK: (Or dead!)
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
KANE: Nothing you can say can stop me going home
JACK: (Or dead!)
KANE: I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
JACK: (Or dead!)
CLAN: Honey if you stay, you'll be forgiven
KANE: Nothing you can say can stop me going home
*fade to somewhere and audience focus to the FARM PEOPLE*
THIRD SCENE: FARM LIFE
FARM PEOPLE: [Nine in the Afternoon]
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we're feeling so good
Pickin’ up things we shouldn’t read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It’s just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can
Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean
Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began, hey
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
[x3]
~when all the FARM PEOPLE have left~
FARM PEOPLE: [oooh's of Nine in the Afternoon]
FOURTH SCENE: REFUGEE
JOANNA: Maisie, I’m going to check the hens, watch over the house while I’m gone. *turns around and finds KANE there*
KANE: Hey! *smiles*
JOANNA: Can I help you? *suspicious*
KANE: Actually, you can. Is this your farm?
MA: Joanna? Who are you talking to out there? *walks slowly outside*
JOANNA: Ma! Careful where you step—
Ma: *stares at KANE* What is it you want, young man?
KANE: I was wondering if you had room for one more person in your farm. I have no family and no job, but I assure you my learning curve is steep..
MA: *discerns* What’s your name?
KANE: I’m KANE.
*fade, revert back to Clan*
FIFTH SCENE: WORSE
Clan Member: Boss, there’s been a..complication. *nervous*
BOSS: What is it?
Clan Member: It’s KANE..his room was empty when we checked this morning.
BOSS: *chuckles* Just a quick question then, if you may… WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE, YOU FOOLS?! *insert violence here* Call Perry, find that pathetic child of mine and bring him here.
Clan Member: *runs off*
BOSS: *inner turmoil* [JACKS LAMENT]
JACK: There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
*fade, back to FARM*
SIXTH SCENE: CONFESSION [Secrets]
KANE: In the dark
In the darkness you will find
Dirty little secrets we all hide
Cause' we all have a darker side
A place we keep where no one else will find
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
JOHANNA: *refuses*
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
KANE:
In the back, in the closets of your mind
Thats where skeletons and dirty secrets hide
And I'll rip out my insides
And leave them on display for you tonight
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
JOHANNA: *refuses*
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
KANE: All my life I hide my secrets away
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
We all try to hide our secrets away
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
KANE&JOANNA:
Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could
Dance with me through this rain
We will fight
We'll fight again
Fight again
Fight again
KANE: Cause everybody wants to hide their secrets away
JOANNA: And that's okay
KANE: Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
And fight again
KANE: *tells Joanna his big secret*
JOANNA: *walks away*
SEVENTH SCENE: REFUGE
KANE: Hey, hey, wait, please!
JOANNA: *nonchalant* What?
KANE: Please listen to me for a second
JOANNA: *ignores him*
KANE: [Mountain]
All these dreams and all these plans,
I built them all with these two hands,
Everything I've realized my dreams.
The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes,
But through it all I was lost but I found my way
So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
So here we are,
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me,
And all these things what I've gained and what I've seen,
It can't compare to the love that you could give to me.
So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
Years go by
And nothing's slowing down the time
Years go by
And then they're wasted.
All this time
I thought that I gained everything,
If you're not mine
I'm so empty.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came, when it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
So please come back to me, I'm right here waiting
So please come back to me now...
KANE: It’ll be a waste of a pretty face if you keep sulking around like that. *kisses her hand…??*
EIGHTH SCENE: DAY AND NIGHT
Summer Love Montage
NARRATORS/FARM PEOPLE: [When the Day Met the Night]~
KANE: When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
FARM PEOPLE: When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer
When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer (summer)
In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer (summer)
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
All was golden when the day met the night
So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"
So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise
Not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."
KANE: Well he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love
FARM PEOPLE: In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
In the middle of summer,summer,summer, summer
the middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
the middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
In the middle of..
NINTH SCENE:
~fill scene with tension, please&thanks~
*scene starts at night, with Kane alone outside*
PERRY: How long did you think you could run from us, Kane?
KANE: Longer than this, I admit.
PERRY: Then come back tonight, cousin! Make it easier for all of us!
KANE: I don’t belong there, Perry.
PERRY: Where, then, do you think you belong? In a mediocre farm?!
KANE: It feels better here. Life is so simple..
PERRY: You’re making a mistake, not taking this last chance.
KANE: The mistake would be going back with you.
PERRY: Suit yourself. *leaves*
TENTH SCENE: REVOLUTION
*setting in FARM*
CLAN: *goes to FARM and causes commotion*
FARM PERSON: Who are you?
CLAN MEMBER: We’re part of a Clan. You don’t know us, but we know your people. Actually, we even owe your people, for taking such good care of our Boss’ son, Kane.
PERRY: So as a sign of our gratitude, we’ve decided to assist you in industrializing your lands. Life must be hard, competing with capitalist producers.
FARM PEOPLE: [LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS]
only see it on tv
read it in the magazines
celebrities that want sympathy
all they do is piss and moan
inside the rolling stone
talking about how hard life can be
Id like to see them spend the week
livin life out on the street
I dont think they would survive
but they could spend a day or two
walking in someone elses shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
they would fall
Fall
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
they're always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
well did you know when your famous you could kill your wife
and theres no such thing as 25 to life
as long as you got the cash to pay for cochran
and did you know if you were cought and you were smokin crack
and McDonald's wouldnt even wanna take you back
you could always just run for mayor of D.C.
Id like to see them spend the week
livin life out on the street
I dont think they would survive
but they could spend a day or two
walking in someone elses shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
they would fall
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
theyre always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
Fall
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
theyre always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
you got so many problems
think I could solve them
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
we'll take your clothes, cash cards, and homes
just stop complaining
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
PERRY: It will be a revolution!
FARM PEOPLE: *drive Clan away while singing* [REVOLUTION]
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
ELEVENTH SCENE:
KANE: *sad over events of the day* I lied, to you and to everyone else.
JOANNA: *takes his hand*
KANE: I can’t change who I am, not even for you.
JOANNA: If you changed anything about yourself, then you wouldn’t be the man I fell in love with. [SEA OF LOVE]
Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
how much
I love you
Do you remember
When we met
That's the day
I knew you were my pet
I wanna tell you
how much
I love you
KANE and JOANNA: [STOLEN]
KANE: We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
BOTH: You have stolen my heart
JOANNA: Invitation only, grant farewells
Crush the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight
BOTH: You have stolen my heart
And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart
I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart
*scene ends with Perry seeing K&J hug*
TWELFTH SCENE:
BOSS: *insert violence here again* KANE, THAT INDOLENT FOOL!
PERRY: He won’t come back. Not while that girl is around.
BOSS: Girl? Which girl?
PERRY: *hands Boss picture of J&K hugging*
BOSS: [I WANT YOU]
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you,
I want you so bad
It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you,
I want you so bad
It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad
Perry, I know what you can do.
THIRTEENTH SCENE:
PERRY: Come out, cousin! I have news that favors you.
KANE: *faces Perry but stands his ground*
PERRY: Boss finally accepts your decision to leave. He’s called for a gathering later, letting everyone know of his support towards your independence.
KANE: Finally he understands!
PERRY: *manly!hugs cousin* I’ll miss you. Promise to come by later. *leaves*
KANE: *goes into house and hugs Joanna* I have my father’s support! *couple is happy*
~PERRY is in the shadows outside. [JOANNA]~
I feel you, Johanna,
I feel you.
I was half convinced I'd waken,
Satisfied enough to dream you.
Happily I was mistaken,
Johanna.
I'll steal you, Johanna,
I'll steal you.
I'll steal you, Johanna,
I'll steal you.
Do they think that walls could hide you?
Even now, I'm at your window.
I am in the dark beside you,
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair!
I feel you, Johanna,
And one day I'll steal you!
Til I'm with you then,
I'm with you there,
Sweetly buried in your yellow hair!
FOURTEENTH SCENE:
JOANNA: *sitting beside a window, contemplating*
MAISIE: I haven’t seen you alone in a while. *sits beside sister* Is there a problem?
JOANNA: Kane’s gone to settle things with his family.
MAISIE: That’s great news! Why are you so sad when we should be celebrating? *yawns*
JOANNA: It’s nothing; maybe I’m just a little tired. You should go to bed, it’s getting late.
MAISIE: Goodnight, Joanna. *leaves*
JOANNA: *calls out* Goodnight, Maisie. [SALLY’S SONG]
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
no, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
FIFTEENTH SCENE:
KANE: *goes inside house* Father?
BOSS: My son, how kind of you to finally grace us with your presence! Sit, sit!
KANE: *sits, with suspicion*
BOSS: So…Did you enjoy your time with the farm scum? *all exits start to close*
KANE: You lied!
BOSS: Your behavior forced me to. I had no choice.
KANE: [PREDICTABLE]
Something isn't right
I can feel it again feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still I don't know why
I let you in
I knew it all along
It's so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
CLAN: (something's always wrong)
KANE: So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
It's so predictable
CLAN: (so predictable)
KANE: So take your empty words your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause I am done with this
I can give it away give it away
I'm doing everything I should've
And now I'm making a change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything
I knew it all along
It's so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
CLAN: (something's always wrong)
KANE: So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
It's so predictable
CLAN: (so predictable)
KANE: Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
Every time I try to fall in love
They all wanna know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared
What am I afraid of
I don't even know
This story's never had an end
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You're never coming back
Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....
I knew it all along
It's so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
CLAN: (something's always wrong)
KANE: So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
It's so predictable
CLAN: (so predictable)
KANE: Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)
Everyone that I love
Everyone I care about
They're all gonna wanna know what's wrong with me (so predictable)
And I know what it is
I'm ending this right now..
BOSS: This IS your home. Tell me, son, what is it with that farm that makes you think otherwise? Is it the dirt? The insects? The girl? Whatever it is, Kane, I am telling you now that it’s too late.
KANE: NO! I won’t let you do anything to Joanna!
BOSS: *laughs* Child, by coming here, you already have.
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relax
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight
take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax
Sit back, relapse again
Can't take the kid from the fight
take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back
LAST SCENE:
~KANE reaches the Farm too late. Ma, Maisie and the rest of the Farm People are gathered around a pale Joanna, who is laying on the ground~
KANE: Joanna! *cue the drama* [SAY ANYTHING]
Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you want to stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
KANE: (Please)
FARM PEOPPLE: Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
KANE: (don't leave)
FARM PEOPLE: Just give me a sign

FARM PEOPLE: Please don't walk away
I know you want to stay
KANE: (don't leave)
FARM PEOPLE: Just give me a sign
KANE: Say anything, say anything
FUNERAL: FARM+KANE [YOU’RE GONE]
ALL: you were young, you were bright,you were beautiful,
you were everything anyone could want from a child
you were not supposed to leave this world that way
you were not supposed to leave this world that day
you would scribble down the lyrics in your favorite song,
on your notebook, in school, when your days were long
and it ment so much for me to know
that you ment so much you'll never know
you're gone and we all miss you,
listen to these songs, you're alive in every one.
are you smiling down? are you still singing?
were you with us all along? do you like what we've become?
MAISIE: did I meet you in the crowd at one of our chores
did I see you in the faces that all come and go
did I ever take the time to just say thanks
was I to caught up in my life to ask you your name
ALL: the truth is that this life is that we're all in it together
that's what you said to me in all your pictures and your letters
somehow I believe that you would make me better
in my heart I know you're gonna live forever
you're gone and we all miss you,
listen to these songs, you're alive in every one.
are you smiling down? are you still singing?
were you with us all along? do you like what we've become?
*roses are thrown*
are you smiling down? are you still singing?
every day that passes by, we celebrate your life
can you hear us now? Do you hear us singing?
Every song that’s in our lives I know we'll never be apart
*fade to black for a moment then show Kane back in his room*
KANE: [LOVESONG]
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
