That's quite a coincidence, cos Brucianna and I have been working on a filk for the same song since (checks old e-mail box) ahem...May. Anyway, we've finally finished it, so here it is: The Watch needs men, the Watch needs men, The Watch needs, the Ankh-Morpork watch (4x) Everyone seems to know the score, They've seen it all before They just know, they're so sure, That the Watch's going To drink all night, Gonna sink all night But I know they can fight Cos I remember Three numbers on a badge, Fred Colon still screaming Thirty years of hurt, never stopped Guards' dreaming. So many jokes, so many sneers, And all those nagging fears, Wear you down, through the years, But I can see Carrot with his sword, Mr. Vimes as a lord, The Pseudopolis Yard, With Nobby dancing, Three numbers on a badge, Fred Colon still screaming Thirty years of hurt, never stopped Guards' dreaming. I know that was then But it could be again The Watch needs men, the Watch needs men, The Watch needs, the Ankh-Morpork watch (4x) Three numbers on a badge, Fred Colon still screaming Thirty years of hurt, never stopped Guards' dreaming. Well, that was our filk, and I hope you like it: it's taken its time :-) TTFN (see you day after tommorrow! Yay!) Leo Barium
