Filk: "Gabby and Joxer"

Filk: Gabby and Joxer
(To the tune of "Joan of Arc")
Music and original lyrics © 1981 by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

A little Potidaean girl
Has fallen in love
A face of an angel
But treated him so rough

She should have known better
Than to ignore her heart
She should have known better
Than to ever part

Without him
Without him

He gave up everything
Of value he owned
He hoped she understood
But she never spoke

She shouldn't oughta try
That Way of Love
She shouldn't have to go there
Ever again

Without him
Without him

Now listen to us good
And listen well
Listen to the Fates
And everything we tell

We should have known better
To this very day
We should have known better
Than to let her stray

Without him
Without him

Now listen Gabrielle
All you gotta do
Is say the right words
And he'll be there for you
Hold you in his arms
And take you
Right away

Now Joxer's here to
Free you from your icy cell
Gabby never understood
Why he loved her so well

She shouldn't ever think
His love's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it
And she'll love again

With him
With him
With him
With him
