Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs
Susano, have a go at this:
MR DAMAGE
(performed by The Angels (aka 'Angel City' in the USA). Song written by Brewster-Neeson-Brewster)
Holding counsel with the King and Queen
Trying hard to decide the fate of the regime (this dynamic repeated
in society – business, socil etc)
There's only one thing needed to complete the harmonizing
That's the man with the voice like a scraping violin
Waiting for Mr Damage
Toothless jaws gumming melancholy stuff
A burst of rapid fire Spanish from the window up above
Students out to pose in their studied disarray
Books of Sartre, Marcuse openly displayed
Waiting for Mr Damage
Mr Damage. Walks through the door of his sacrificial church
Mr Damage. Meets you in the lobby and he'll leave you in the lurch
Mr Damage. Stands at the alter, sermon of the search
All the faithful follow
Resident winos stumbling and lurching
Walking cadavers smiling and searching
Man with the D.T.'s looking at the feeble glossy portraits
Of long dead celebrated people
Waiting for Mr Damage
Trying hard just to keep a candle lit
A leather flyer leaves the subway anxious to admit
That the marveled one so recently deposed
Was seen three days later in a brand new suit of clothes
A brand new suit of clothes for a very special day
A very, very, very special day
Mr Damage holds a curse!
Mr Damage drives a hearse!
Don't you know who did it first? Mr Damage!
Repeat Verse 1
Mr Damage. Walks through the door of his sacrificial church
Mr Damage. Meets you in the lobby and he'll leave you in the lurch
Mr Damage. Stands at the alter, sermon of the search
All the faithful follow
Holding frozen hands as Mr Damage holds the curse.
ps: Mr Damage was based on a real person, a punter who regularly visited a pub in Sydney, Aus in the late 70s/early 80s. Mr Damage was his nickname.
