Parody of Don't Dream it's Over by Crowded House

[Drassil]

Nearly 14 years ago, I came up with the line 'Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's ogre'. Now here's a full set of lyrics, looking at the ogre encounters in three quests: Kelly's (Series 3), Sophia's (Series 6) and Dickon's (Series 4). Based on Don't Dream it's Over by Crowded House (1986). Lyrics, video

Series 3: seven in

Festus, he just lost out

Now to leave the level with a paper task

But the crayon's not there

Yes and that's got a cost

And poor Kelly's at the end of the road

With no way she can flee

Hey now, hey now

Don't scream: it's ogre

Hey now, hey now

A Grimwold's come in

We had, we had to draw a well between us

They knew we couldn't win

Now Sophia's the star

There's an ogre: a youth

He is younger and he's with Scaramonger and that's the truth

In the market today

There's a horn they should gain

Then they'll call Elita and she'll be uncouth

Hey now, hey now

We've seen this ogre

Hey now, hey now

And we'll need his name

They tried to hide a dragon caller from us

They have no shame

Now it's Dickon in quest

And he beat Level One

He's encountered a jester who used to push carts

Then he undid the lock

(Pillory, not the stocks)

Got to give the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now

We see an ogre

Hey now, hey now

It's what Motley feared

He's come, he's come

To kill the fool with meanness

And he's got a beard...

[Drassil]

Alternative first verse:

The behemoth has been

But can Kelly get out?

Got to sketch a wellway on a paper sheet

There's a "skeleton head"

And the quest has been lost

And they'll see the level below

It's quite harsh, Series 3
