Tears of an Other.

I don't know how many people watch Flight of the Conchords, but I've re-written the lyrics for their "Hurt Feelings" song from the last episode.

If you haven't heard it...

Tears of an Other


ALL OTHERS:
Some people say that Others don’t have feelings
We have feelings. (We have feelings)
Some people say that we are not Others. (We’re Others.)
That hurts our feelings.
(Hurts our feelings when you say we’re not Others.)
Some people say that Others are invincible
We’re vincible. (Mikhail's not.)
What you are about to hear are true stories
(Except for Linus's)
Autobiographical raps.
Things that happened to us, All true
Bring the rhyme!

ETHAN:
I kidnap a baby for all of my friends,
They try to say I'm capricious,
They won't listen when I say Hurley was getting suspicious,
Almost had to make him swim with the fishes.
Not one of them thinks about the way I feel
Nobody compliments the steal.

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I feel like a prize *beep*
Everyone thinks I'm a crap mole.
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings.
You coulda said something nice about the info I stole.

MIKHAIL:
Here’s a little story to bring a tear to my eye,
I was getting thrown through sonic fences and still I survive,
But everything Ben says to me is lies,
And the crazy Scotsman sends me to an underwater demise.

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I don't wanna die in a wetsuit, that wasn't the plan!
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
Bring me back from the dead again, please

BEN:
It’s my birthday, 1983
Waitin’ for a gift from my daddy

He forgot about me

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
The day after my birthday is not my birthday, Dad

TOM:
I call Arturo and say, “Let’s go into town,”
But he's all too busy to go into town
So I go by myself, I go into town
Then I see Arturo and Ben, they’re all over town

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings.
They’re in a DHARMA van, looking quite groovy
What the hell is he doing with his baton?

BEN:Have you even been told that you have horrible eyes?
MIKHAIL:Have you ever been looked at as the guy who just dies?
HARPER: Have you ever seen Juliet with your husband in bed?
ALDO: Have you ever been told that your shirt is red?
RICHARD: Have your people ever forgotten you have birthdays because you're from a different era
Or said that your face is covered in mascara
BEN: Were you ever been accused of killing your mama?
ISABEL: Have you ever been killed off-screen without any drama?

ALL OTHERS:
Tears of an Other (tears of a Other),
I’m crying tears of an Other
Tears of an Other
