Name Change

[Hand of Evil]

What a wonderful world

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom from me and you
But I think to myself what a wonderful world (yeah)

I see skies of blue, clouds of white
bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
but i think to myself what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shakin' hands saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
But I think to myself what a wonderful world

I think to myself what a wonderful world
Hey, yeah, wonderful, wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shakin' hands saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know

But I think to myself what a wonderful world
I think to myself what a wonderful world
Hey, yeah, wonderful, wonderful world

They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row

Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid

To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row

Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words

And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Outa Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"

Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row

Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row

 

[Macbeth]

It certainly wasn't added because changing sigs is my new hobby.

but it should be... If you have the power, you might as well (ab)use it. Would add a certain somthing to the boards. That and random baning.

On this board of ours
where Morrus wears the reigning crown
users come and users go
but many stay the same

When changes come at last
it starts in Meta, all way down
people post a simple thread
and ask to change their name

Goodbye to ArthurQ
Hi, BrooklynKnight
you've changed your name
your pic's the same
Now you can start anew
on this old site
as BrooklynKnight
somehow you will
you will as BrooklynKnight

"Just keep this in your sig"
the strange cat said, and pointed at
right where nothing used to stand
your old name could be read

you went and changed it back
that name lay just so far behind
didn't know and didn't think
to listen to that cat

Goodbye to ArthurQ
Hi, BrooklynKnight
you've changed your name
your pic's the same
you should have kept the sig
just a fortnight
now Morrus' mad
you know that's bad
it's bad when Morrus's mad

You wanted to start anew
and changed your name
but your post count didn't die
it's still the same
the sig was meant to keep
you in the writing game
So editing it out again
only drowns your fame

Now come, put it back again
see if you like it
don't make Morrus mad again
There's nothing like it
don't try it, don't try it, don't try it

Now see, all is well again
we recognize you
and still it is new, your name
and it is nice, too
Those not in the know
they will realize, too
the font size is not too big
it's only size two

Now everything's cool again
the change is completed
and in fourteen nights you'll see
the sig is deleted
you did it, you did it, you did it

Godbye to ArthurQ
Hi, BrooklynKnight
you've changed your name
your pic's the same
let's have some fun for now
let's sing tonight
because it's down
at lunch-break time - at lunch break time
ENWorld's down again!

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

but it should be... If you have the power, you might as well (ab)use it. Would add a certain somthing to the boards. That and random baning.

Oh yeah I think running around the board with "Piratecat was here" in plum letters in your signature would be sweet.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

cute song.

 

[the Jester]

cute song.

Thanks, but I wasn't singing, I just suggested it.

 

[Ravellion]

That and random baning.

MacBeth, who will henceforth be known as *rolls dice* Oozebane!

Beware Crothian! Beware!

 

[alsih2o]

I think "formerly" should be the new trend.

 

[Hand of Evil]

I think everyones name should be changed to numbers.
