I've Got My Fangs under Your Skin
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*************************************
This Frank Sinatra version/Cole Porter song reflects some of Nick's other
thoughts while biting Nat during Last Knight.
**************************************
I've got my fangs...... under your skin
I've got them .....deep in the folds of you
so deep....in the folds...
That your essence embol....dens me
I've got my fangs...... under your skin
I'd tried so....
Not to give in
I've said to myself
This *Cure*
Never will go so well
But...your taste is really somethin'
Nat, I'm such a glutton
I've got my fangs..... under your skin
Now...I've promised forever
Come what might
for the sake of having you near
In spite of the warning voice
that comes tonight
and repeats..repeats in my ear
Don't y'know little....... Nick.....
You can be such a brick
Why not get.... a klew
onward you should move
But each time I do
Just the taste of you.....
Makes me not stop
just before I sin..
because I've got my fangs....... under your skin

Family: LaCroix's song
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*************************************
Please join in, and clap to the beat as the disco, strobe lights swirl
around our three toothsome vamps!
*************************************
We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink
We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed
Everyone can you see,
We're together
As we fly on.... by
And!
And we hunt just like a pack of wolves
I won't tell no..... lies
All!
All of the stray vamps around us they say
Can they be that close?
Just let me state for the record
We're having bloodlust in a family dose
We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink
We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed
Living unlife is fun
And we've just begun
To drink our share
From the mortals' delights
High!
High hopes we have,
For an eternity
With our vampiric sight
Sometimes....
Sometimes, my son gets depressed
Here's when I recall,
Our golden rule:
Deny not what you are
And the horrible things you do
You won't go wrong,
Oh no!
This is our family jewel......
We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
(bring the...bring the victim to me)
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink
(I can..I can hear her heartbeat)
We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
(Don't deny, don't deny!)
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed
(give in, give in to your nature)
We_ are_ family
I got my children with me
We_ are_ family...
The End.

Vampires in the Night
by: Patty Costantino
August 2001
*******************************************
Nick and Janette in Crazy Love, set to the music of Strangers in the Night
by Kaempfert, Singleton and Snyder
*******************************************
Vampires in the night... exchanging glowing glances
Wondering in the night...what were the chances
We'd be sharing blood...before the night was throuuuuugh....
Something in your ruby eyes...was so.... hypnotizing
Something in your elongated canines...was..... so enticing
Something in my uncontained hunger....told me I must possess youuuuuu...
Vampires in the night...two lonely immortals
We were vampires in the night
up to the moment ...when we took that first bite
little did we know our delight...
Blood was just a ...craving.... away...
A cold, embracing, ...draining..... away
And... ever since that night
I've had my brother
Feeling the need to bite
Feeding on each other
It turned out so right
For vampires in the nighhhhht....
repeat
Blood was just a ...craving ....away...
A cold, embracing, ...draining... away
And ever since that night
I've had my brother
Feeling the need to bite
Feeding on each other
It turned out so right
For vampires in the nighhhht....
Dooby, dooby, do,...do, doo, de, aaa.....(you get the idea, I hope! )

Paris: Janette's FILK
by: Patty Costantino
August 2001
**********************************<P>
The Cole Porter song I Love Paris seemed very appropriate for the Raven
beauty.
**********************************
I love Paris...during the nighttime
when mortals' heartbeats.....they do chime
I love Paris in the winter....when their hearts do fizzle
I love Paris in the summer...when their blood zizzles
I love Paris with every victim
every victim.... who is near
I love Paris.. why...oh why...do I love Paris?
Because my prey is here
Repeat
I love Paris with every victim
evvvver..rrry victim..... who is near
I love Paris.. why...oh why...do I love Paris?
Because my prey..... is here
They're there....They're everywhere...but they're really here.

I Did it My Way
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*********************************
LaCroix is singing this Paul Anka tune, My Way, to Janette and Nicholas as
he reflects on his 2000 years on Earth.
******************************
And still....forever is here
And so....I face.... the eternal curtain
My children...now that you're near
I'll state my case....of which I'm certain
I've lived ...an unlife that's full
I've hunted each and every alleyway
And more...much more than this
I did it.... my...way
Mortal kills...I've had a few
But then again... thousands to mention
I did.... what I had to do
and saw it through.... without redemption
I planned each victorious entrapment
Each careful deception ...against my stray
And more...much more than this
I did it my...way
Yes...there was one time..I guess you knew
When I loved....and made it through
But despite it all
there was no doubt
I sacrificed her.... while talking it out
Retributuon I demanded..... and would call
And...would do it myyyy...way
I've teased ....I've taunted and lied<P>
I've had my thrills...my share of winning
And now...as the years go by
I find myself... really.... grinning
To think....I did all that
And may I say...not in a shy way
Oh no ....oh no, not me
I did it..... my....way
For what is a vamp...what has he got
If not bloodlust...then he has not
To control his stray...he truly feels
torment is best.... so he will kneel
The record shows...I took some blows
But did it.... myyyyyyy......wayyyyy
Yes, it was... myyyyy....wayyyyy.

The Vamp is a Tramp
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
**************************
This Sinatra song The Lady is a Tramp by Rodgers and Hart is dedicated to
all those Lady Vamps at the Raven.
**************************
She gets hungry..... for a mortal at eight
She loves the Raven...doesn't come late
She'd never bother...with an eternal mate
That's why.....this vamp..... is a tramp
Does like gothic.... and gobs of makeup on her face
Will go to the backroom...dressed in black underwear and lace
Will drink bloodwine.... with the rest of her race
That's why...this chick.... is a tramp
She loves to use.... the vaaammmp.....hypnotic stare
Unlife without a care
She can become smoke
But it's oke!
Doesn't like coffins....they're hard and cramp(ed)
That's why....this vamp.... is a tramp
repeat......
She gets *really* hungry..... for a mortal at eight
She adoooores the Raven...however, never comes there late
She'd never bother...with an eternal mate
That's why.....this vamp..... is a tramp
Really loves gothic.... and tons of makeup on her face
She'd go to the backroom...dressed in black underwear and lace
Will drink lots of bloodwine.... with the rest of those broads
That's why...this vamp.... is a tramp
She loves to use....that cooool, vammmp.....hypnotic stare
Unlife without a care
She can become smoke
But it's oke!
She loooooathes coffins....they're hard and cramp(ed)
That's why....this vamp....
That's why ...this vamp....
That's why ...this vaaaammmmp....is a traaaammmmp

And they’ll continue living it forever,
Just because...

You Won't Bring Me Across
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
***********************************
In A More Permanent Hell, Natalie is lamenting the fact her Vamp won't do
the deed in this Barbra Streisand/Neil Diamond duet, You Don't Bring Me
Flowers
***********************************
You won't.... bring me...across....
You don't ....ring me for garlic pills....anymore
You hardly drink my shakes by the score
when I come up the loft lift
at the end of my shift
I remember....when.....
You told me you loved me.....
Took..... it back, .....and whammied me....
Now.... after.... remembering...... that... night
and the world coming to an end.... I'm not feeling alright
And....you just.... say no .... and.... won't bring me..... to the light
And....you won't bring me.....across......for..ever...more
I explained that....we could be together forever
But rejection I got for my boldness once more
I ....just walked out the door..
To the Raven, I ventured away
And maybe.... I can become a memberrr...of the existence... you abhor
I can learn how to whammy ... even learn how to fly
Well I can learn how to feed ...but I need!..... to die
But...you think I could learn..... how to tell you...... goodbye
Think I could learn..... how to tell you .....goodbye
And.....you won't bring me.... across....for ...ever more
So... you would think I could learn..... how to tell you....goodbye
You don't say..... you'll feed on me
You don't say..... you'll take..... me
You won't bring me..... across.....for..ever...more

***************************
Our beloved Nicky's brooding state of mind over the last 3 centuries
or...perhaps 8 centuries (?) set to the tune Happy Days Are Here Again.
***************************
Angsty... nights..... are here again
Those flashbacks.... of my past...... are so clear, my friend
They fill me with such...... fear to the end
Angsty... nights...... are.... here.... again
All the same.....let's not talk about ...it now
There's just one thing...let me....pout for now
So I would rather brood ...about...it now
Angsty... nights..... are here..... again
My guilt..... and troubles are never..... gone
There'll be..... with me....from now on
From....now...onnnnnnnn......
Angssssty..... nights ......are here again....
Those flashbacks......of my past......are so clear, my friend
They fill me with..... such....... fear to the end
Angsty...... times!
Angsty...... days!
Angsty...... nights..... are.... here..... againnnnnnn.....

Immortal Love

*************************************
This Diana Ross/Supremes song, Baby Love, reflects Janette's thoughts about
her and Nick's marriage and relationship in Partners of the Month. Dedicated
to all you Immortal Beloveds out there.
**************************************
oooo....Nicola, my Nicola.....
I want you...ooooh.....I want you
But this closeness is too much for moi
I think I will go shopping on the Rue Dubois
To revamp myself and become strong
I must stay away from you for so long
Because Nicola ....my Nicola
I will miss you.......miss kissing you
But we must break up, n'est pas?
Your smothering is truly affecting moi
(oooo la la!)
Must leave and plan my Paris Gala
Into the arms.....of .....another fella
Need to flee.....Need to be free
(Immortal love...ooooo....Immortal love)
My love, ....my Nicola....
Mais oui..... we must separate my love
Your pouts for the painting are soooo boring
You may have it; please stop your imploring
Maintenant, I go on a mortal hunt exploring
Sometimes, I get this need.....
(Cherie....Cherie...)
oooooo.....oooo....
I want to hold you
Once again my love
Feel your cold embrace my love
Provide you with my rest and relaxation
From your cases of homicidal complications
And your trials of those mortal contemplations
But, alias......suffo.....cation......got the best of me
My love...my .sweet Nicola
Want you...oooh...I want you
But smother me, you do
Oh Brother, I could not be true
You were too....deep in love with me
Nicola...Nicola....Nicola....
I needed to be set free
(Needed to go on that shopping spree)
ooooo...ooo
Nicola...love
Needed to go protect my strays
Needed to discover my decorating ways

I Can't Control Myself
By: Patty Costantino
Nov 2001
*************************************
This Four Tops song, I Can't Help Myself, reflects IMO, Nick's emotional
state about Natalie and their upside down relationship. Dedicated to all you
N&N packers out there. (Including me!) :))
**************************************
Oh Natalie....Oh Natalie, my dear
You know I do fear
I can't control myself
Should tell ya to find someone else
Should tell ya to move on with your life
(like I should have done with my mortal wife)
but everytime I see your smile
I try another shake for a while
Somehow I'll keep down the bile
When you fill my head
with your scientific notions
My mind swirls with mixed emotions
And I run and get one of your potions
Wish you could invent a vamp suntan lotion!!!
Can't control myself...no can't stop myself
Cause.......Natalie, my dear...Natalie, my love
I'm weaker than a vamp should be
I can't control myself
I'm a fool...in love you see
Wanna tell ya that I don't love ya
Tell ya that we're through
Certainly I should get a klew
But for both of our sakes
I force down another repulsive shake
I wish I could use restraint
I'm sure not a saint
You're burning in my heart
Don't want us to be apart
Want you in my bed
But I'm afraid you'll wind up dead
(Something I really dread)
Cause...Natalie...my love
This situation makes me so blue
Can't control myself
You should pick somebody else
Natalie...oh Natalie.....
You know I want a taste of you
Can't control myself
I love your scent and nobody else
Natalie.....oh Natalie.....
You know that I love.... you
Can't control myself
No.....wouldn't be able to stop myself
We've Had Some Fun
By Patty Costantino
Nov 2002
*********************************
I thought this Paul Williams/R. Nichols/Carpenters tune, We've Only Just
Begun, was a perfect Ufish song as LaCroix daydreams about him and Nick’s
*relationship.* I guarantee this ultimate wedding song will never be the same in
your mind once you've read this version. (g) A dedication to Sunny LaCountess as
her story, Come Undone, inspired me to write this filk.
******************************
We’ve only just begun…
To sha…re…
Black sheets… and pillows…
A blood kiss for fun
From…sire to… insolent …son…
Let's have some fun…
Before the rising… moon…
We fl…y…
So many… necks to choose…
We start out drinking and drain them… too… soon…
And yes…we’ve had some fun…
(Shake tambourine)
Sharing our blood which is good for us
Violent couplings along the way…
Savage whippings…just the two of us
Frolicking together… day to day…
Together…
And when the evening comes…
We smi…le…
So many playful slaps… ahead…
And sitting in one another’s laps… in… bed …
And yes…we’ve had some fun…
(Shake tambourine)
Sharing our blood which is sweet to us
Delicious romps in the hay…
Whips and chains… for the two of us
Playing together… day to day…
Together…
Together…
And when the evening comes…
We smi…le…
So many fun-filled days… ahead…
And frisky play in a velvet-covered… bed…
And yes…we’ve had some fun…
Sunny Days and Everyday
By Patty Costantino
Nov 2002
*************************************
Another Paul Williams/ R. Nichols/ Carpenter’s song, Rainy Days and
Mondays, reflects Nick's sullen mood in Dark Knight after he kissed and then “almost
killed” Alyce Hunter, the museum curator.
**************************************
(Play harmonica)
Gulping down some cow and feeling… blue…
Pop in that Bela Lugosi tape
To deepen my depressed state
Lying… around…
Blood tears fallin’ on the ground…
Sunny Days and everyday… always get… me… down…
In 800 years, you’d think I’d get a… klew…
Love will never come along…
Feeling like the ape King Kong…
Mopin’… around…
Lyin’ here, green bottles abound…
Sunny Days and everyday always… get me… down…
Funny… but it seems I always sit in the dark and stew…
Sad I can’t have one mortal…too… near…
Funny…but it seems there’s only one thing… to do…
Run and grab some of that…revolting… steer…
Background vocals: (Guzzling… it… like… beer)
Nat, what I like is to wallow, binge and …drown…
I don’t want to talk it out…
Close the blinds and get out…
Mopin’… around…
Let me lie here and frown…
Sunny Days and everyday always get… me… down…
(Saxophone solo)
Funny… but it seems there’s only one thing… to do…
Background vocals: (Only one thing to do…)
Run and grab some of that… revolting… steer…
Nat… what I like is to wallow, binge… and… drown…
Don’t want to talk it out…
Close the blinds and get out…
Lying …around…
Let me lie here and frown …
Sunny Days and everyday *always* get… me… down…
Mopin’ around…
Blood tears fallin’ on the ground…
Sunny Days and any day *al…ways*… *get*… me… down…
Too Close to Me
By Patty Costantino
Nov 2002
******************************
I couldn't end without a N&Npack song. <G> This Hal David/Burt
Bacharach/Carpenter’s song, Close To You, seemed to go well with the flashback
scene in Only the Lonely when Nick warns Natalie not to get too close to him.
**************************************
Why did she… suddenly... draw near…
Even though… I instilled some fear…
Listen… to… me…
Don’t get… to be…
Too close to… me…
Why did she… not say… goodbye…
Even though… the whammy didn't fly…
Take it… from… me…
Don’t get to be…
Too close… to me …
On the next night that we met
Your offer, I couldn’t forget
But it’s like a game of… Russian… Roulette…
I’m afraid that I might forget
And you’ll wind up like Chicken… Croquette…
That is why… I hesitate to accept…
And I do… begin to fret …
Take it from me…
Don’t get to be…
Too close… to me…
(Trumpet solo)
I’m a creature fallen from grace
Angels look at me in disgrace
Though I’m a discredit to my monstrous race…
I could destroy your pretty face…
So we won’t be getting to first… base!
(Side comment: Or second, or third, or ... well you get the idea.)
That is why… I begin to pace…
Better get… some garlic mace…
Listen to me…
Don’t get to be…
Too close… to… me
Take it from me…
Don’t get to be…
Too close… to… me…
Whyyyy…
Too close… to you…
Whyyyy…
Might… kill you…
Haaaaa…
Will make… me blue…
Whyyyy…
Might… hurt you…

Addicted to Blood
By: E McCann
July 2004
*************************************
This has been bouncing around in my head on and off for the last... oh, six
or seven years at least. So, with apologies to Robert Palmer...
**************************************
The night comes on, you're skin and bones
Your temp is really cold
Your heart stopped, the hunger waits
A quick bite is all it takes
All these decades with an allergy to the sun, Oh yeah,
see it and you'll burst into a big fireball, ya know
You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to blood
Dodge trees and signs that you can't read
when moving at vampiric speed
Heart hasn't beat in centuries
You need to bite, but like to tease
Hunger appeased
You can't be saved
A good type O is all you crave
They cant run fast enough from you
So you don't mind,, if you do
You just let them know that you're not fond of the sun, oh yeah
You no longer burn or tan, you just implode, you know
you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
The sun is up, so now you're home
It's dark, your walls are stone
Her heart beats, your teeth shine
Another bite, "she'll be all mine!"
No mortal you've found has been immune, they're yours to take, oh yeah
You just have to worry when they offer you a stake, you know
they don't seem to like that you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood
Might as well face it, you're addicted to blood

(FK) Sunset Grill
By: Tim Phillips
*************************************
Author's: Note:
I picked up Don Henley's Building the Perfect Beast some weeks
back. The more I listened to SunSet Grill, the more I became
aware that the Grill is a vampire hangout. Friday Night, I put the
track on continuous play and started to write. Twice through the
song and I had the "real" version (IE. the Forever Knight version).
Below is both my lyrics and then the original lyrics. Mr. Henley's
song almost had everything right. :-) If you listen to Sunset Grill
and read my lyrics, you can "hear" him sing them.
Permission to archive is given to anyone who'd like to make a copy
anywhere for whatever reasons.
I'd also be more than amused if someone can find a kareoke track
of Sunset Grill and sends me a tape of themselves and their friends
singing "my" lyrics.
Enjoy.

============= FK Lyrics ============
FK Sunset Grill
Let's go down to the Sunset grill
we can watch the waking vampires go by
watch the normal people shake and tremble
and stare out at the darkening sky
There's a vampire named LaCroix there
To him, they don't taste the same
Calls all the customers by name
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
You see a lot more vampires in the city
The kind that suck you dry
Hard to come away without really bad hickies
Hard to get home without friends that die
These days a vampire makes you theirs
and you never see their face
there is no hiding place
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
More and more murders every day
there are more when LaCroix will pay
Don't worry girl, they will find you
and someday soon we will be one that others fear
Let's go down to the Sunset grill
we can watch the waking vampires go by
watch the normal people shake and tremble
and stare out at the darkening sky
maybe we'll be one of them come springtime
meanwhile, they'll have that one over there
Where would we be without all these fans anyway?
Besides all our vampires are here
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
=== The lyrics by Don Henly, Danny Kortchmar and
Ben Tench
Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble
and stare out at the auburn sky
There's an old man there from the Old World
To him, it's all the same
Calls all his customers by name
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
You see a lot more meanness in the city
It's the kind that eats you up inside.
Hard to come away with anything that feels
like dignity.
Hard to get home with any pride
These days a man makes you somethin'
and you never see his face.
But there is no hiding place
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Respectable little murders pay
They get more respectable every day
Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you.
And someday soon we're gonna get in that car
and get out of here
Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
Watch the working girls go by
watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble
and gaze out at the auburn sky
Maybe we'll leave come springtime
meanwhile, have another beer
What would we do without all these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here.
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
