Parody of Halfway to Paradise by Billy Fury

[Anonymous]

And from that gem of a filk onto another jewel this time from Billy Fury [Halfway to Paradise] , one of my all time favourite singers...

I want to be a Winner,
But "Seasons' End" is all I can say,
I'm only half-way to my prize,
so near...yet so far away...

I long for that cup to be my cup,
but just when I thought it may,
You bring out that Christmas surprise,
so near...yet so far away...

Being on Level Three was a pleasure (pleas-ure)
But it was taken all away
I came so close to my quest's treasure, (trea-sure)
That my hands were forbidden to touch...

The Cup that Heals was not claimed, I tell thee
And that's how it is going to stay,
I was only half-way to my prize,
so near...yet so far away...

...so near...yet so far away...

...so near...yet so far away...

...so near...yet so far away...
