FREE Spell! '88 (parody of Freedom! '90 by George Michael)

Drassil

Sung from the point of view of dungeoneer Mark Wickson, on the verge of FREE being spellcast to make his team the first winners of Knightmare. Based on Freedom! '90 by George Michael. Video, lyrics

I won't let you down

I will not mess it up

Gotta have some faith in the team

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would really, really love to live the dream

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

There was more that I wanted to be

I went every day to some old school in Oxfordshire

And no way was it enough for me

I watched Knightmare

Said "I'll go there"

Found three friends who wouldn't scare

On your Children's ITV

But today the way I play the game is not the same

No way

Think I'm gonna get me victory

I think there's something to admit

I think that there's no shame in it

Back when you watched all this begin

Did you think anyone would win?

"Oh... what a pity, never mind"

"A dagger's no use if you're blind"

I just thought, for goodness' sake

I'll beat the dungeon, make no mistake

All we have to do now

Is take these letters and make a spell somehow

All we have to see

Is that the F's before the R

And then it's the double E

E E

FREE spell

I won't let you down

FREE spell

I will not mess it up

FREE spell

Gotta have some faith in the team

(We've got the silver spurs to take)

It's the one good thing that I've got

FREE spell

I won't let you down

FREE spell

So please don't give me up

FREE spell

Because I would really, really love to live the dream

Level 1 had started with Folly

In the kitchen a maid greeted me

She was cooking toads, she must have been off her trolley

She was living in a fantasy

We rang a bell

Went down a well

And Merlin gave us a FREEZER spell

Then we got to Level 3

But today the way I play the game has got to change

Oh yeah

Now I need a sprig of energy

I stopped a gargoyle feeling blue

Met Merlin for another clue

I have the letters F, R, E

And guessed what they'll turn out to be

A SUN spell helped me find the way

A SLEEP spell kept the croc at bay

I just hope you won't suggest

Sometimes the maid is not worth the quest

All we have to do now

Is take these letters and make a spell somehow

All we have to see

Is that the F's before the R

And then it's the double E

E E

FREE spell

I won't let you down

FREE spell

I will not mess it up

FREE spell

Gotta have some faith in the team

(We've got the silver spurs to take)

It's the one good thing that I've got

FREE spell

I won't let you down

FREE spell

So please don't give me up

FREE spell

Because I would really, really love to live the dream

Well it looks like the road to heaven

Leading out past the guillotine

And I knew this way Mogdred was mastered

We'd have a victory scene

Don't forget my name: Mark Wickson

First winning dungeoneer

And there were seven more

Through Treguard's door

All following my team of four

Don't you forget

Four of a kind

Don't you forget we're four of a kind

Don't you forget

And after all this time

I just hope you won't suggest

Sometimes the maid

Is not worth the quest

All we have to do now

Is take these letters and make a spell somehow

All we have to see

Is that the F's before the R

And then it's the double E

E E

FREE spell

Our FREE spell

We've got the silver spurs to take

FREE spell

We're casting our FREE spell

Our FREE spell

We've got the silver spurs to take

We've got the silver spurs, the silver spurs

May not be what you want to see

Sorry, folks but Gretel's free

There's her face now

I get to live
