Umm... you know the guilty pleasure I'm linked to...
namely The Red Songbook of Westmarch ?
Well, Eru help me, I've sent them in a contribution, and I'm posting it here.

(WARNING:SONG PARODY AHEAD ! SPOILERS, PLUS AN INABILITY TO DISASSOCIATE THE TALE OF THE FALL OF GONDOLIN WITH A PIECE OF 80'S MUSIC, MAY ENSUE .... )






With apologies to the Professor and to Mr. Springfield

Tuor’s Girl
(Sung by Maeglin, in a truly black mood )

Tuor’s never been a friend.
As if I’d let a mortal be a friend of mine!
But now I hate him more- it’s not hard to say why.
He has dared to wed with Idril, for whose love I’d gladly die.

And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body- ai, mel Eru !
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night…..

You know I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
Why can’t I find a maiden like that?

The King approves of him and her-
Which proves that even the mightiest can err-
And I must hide my anger as best as I can
When I see my Elven princess with that lowly mortal Man.

‘Cause she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body- ai, mel Eru!
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night….

You know I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
Why can’t I find a maiden?
Why can’t I find a maiden like that?

And I’m looking in the mirror all the time
Wondering what darkness she sees in me.
So I’m her cousin - why isn’t that fine?
Why does she want something I can’t be?

Tell me, why can’t I find a maiden like that?

You know I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
I wish that I had Tuor’s girl.
Why can’t I find a maiden like that?
Like Tuor’s girl.
I want Tuor’s girl.
(The anger in his eyes is growing even darker…)

I’ll have Tuor’s girl…..
