I am not making this up. Posts: 2,120 Group: Members Member #59 Joined: December 28, 2004	I actually finished this awhile ago, but I am lazy and was trying to chill my fanmixslutness. But whatever! What. Ever. Zekk is awesome, as am I and my fanmix hoeing! Ha! Also, I apologize for it being so snarky. I really do love him. *** 1) It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City (Live) – Bruce Springsteen I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova I could walk like Brando right into the sun, then dance just like a Casanova With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet Silver star studs on my duds, just like a Harley in heat When I strut down the street, I could feel its heart beat The sisters fell back and said, "Don't that man look pretty" The cripple on the corner cried out, "Nickels for your pity" Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty It's so hard to be a saint in the city I was the king of the alley, Mama, I could talk some trash I was the prince of the paupers, crowned downtown at the beggar's bash I was the pimp's main prophet, I kept everything cool Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose And when the heat came down it was left on the ground The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street Because I am awesome, I gave you guys the live version of this song. But can you figure out why I put this on here on your own? Because Zekk has a not so nice life on the streets is why, even if he does put on a tough face for Jaina and co. 2) I Want It All – Queen Adventure seeker on an empty street Just an alley creeper light on his feet A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt With the pain and anger can’t see a way out It ain’t much I’m asking I heard him say Gotta find me a future move out of my way I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now Listen all you people come gather round I gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground Just give me what I know is mine People do you hear me just give me the sign It ain’t much I’m asking if you want the truth Here’s to the future for the dreams of youth I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want It now I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it all (hey) I want it all and I want it now Depressed bouquet-eating street kid? Cue the Shadow Academy! 3) Wasted Time – Skid Row Paranoid delusions they haunt you Where’s my friend I used to know? He’s all alone He’s buried deep within a carcass Searching for a soul Can you feel me inside your heart As it’s bleeding Why can’t you believe you can’t be loved? I hear you scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time? Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind? Oh the Dark Side emo! Angst and woe I tell you! No, seriously, it sucks a lot and Zekk wears leather and does some not so nice stuff and almost kills he BFF. 4) East Of Eden – Big Country Some days will stay a thousand years Some pass like the flash of spark Who knows where all our days go? Out here we lie together Outside the thunder gathers Why care about the weather It always ends in dark I looked west in search of freedom And I saw slavery I looked east in search of answers And I saw misery Some days I just don't worry I let it pour through me Some days I walk into The very depths of me So I wait out here to the east of Eden I let my conscience be I was waiting, I was watching Would it ever be there for me? And then there’s the whole getting over the Dark Side thing, which also sucks and induces a lot of emo, because he is Zekk and that’s how he rolls. 5) Miles From Nowhere – The Smithereens I am lost somewhere I do not know This is not the place I meant to go And they told me before it was so It was miles from nowhere I was never meant to be alone If I make it back I'll stay at home Always told me that I should not roam I'd be miles from nowhere Again, what do you do with yourself when you’ve just given up a career as an underage Sith and killed people and blow up stuff and generally have no idea how to live with yourself now? Also, he’s a bounty hunter. 6) Drive – The Cars Who's gonna tell you when, It's too late? Who's gonna tell you things, Aren't so great? You can’t go on, thinkin', Nothings' wrong, whoa ho Who's gonna drive you home, tonight.? Who's gonna pick you up, When you fall? Who's gonna hang it up, When you call? Who's gonna pay attention, To your dreams? And who's gonna plug their ears, When you scream? But enough of putting these songs in chronological order! Because now we’re talking about always been there for Jaina (admittedly usually in the best friend capacity, not as a romantic interest, alas!) whenever she needs him, except for that one time he totally ditched her on Hapes, which we shall cover later. But yeah! He’s always the guy whose there for her, admit it. 7) Sweetest Thing – U2 My love she throws me like a rubber ball Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing She won’t catch me or break my fall Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing Baby’s got blue skies up ahead But in this I’m a rain cloud You know she likes a dry kind of love Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing I’m losing you Hey hey hey, I’m losing you yeah Ain’t love the sweetest thing? I wanted to run but she made me crawl Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing Eternal fire, she turned me to straw Oh oh, the sweetest thing You know I got black eyes But they burn so brightly for her Mine is a blind kind of love Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing Jaina, on the other hand, has a track record of being a total jerk to Zekk post-YJK. To an extent I blame this on different authors shipping different things but even still, it’s like, “Hi Zekk, let’s make out and have witty banter!” “Go away Zekk you can’t be in my squadron because me new boyfriend who looks just like you said so!” “Hi Zekk, why are you mad at me? Get over it!” “Get out of my face, Zekk!” Look, I just saved you the trouble of reading like 92385692347682365 books. 8) Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mine With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl But bless his little heart, Zekk keeps trying to get in Jaina’s pants by which I mean a relationship because he loves her and they used to be a cute couple a long time ago and were totally adorable and he just can’t move on. (It’s actually much more romantic than I made it sound there. Sorry.) 9) I’m Not Afraid Of Life – The Ramones I am not afraid of pain But it hurts so bad I feel so mad No one see the truth There's nothing to gain A life goes down the drain Don't want to die at an early age I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life But I see a street crazy shivering with cold Is it a crime to be old? There's the threat of the nuclear bomb We know it's wrong We know it's wrong Is there a chance for peace? Will the fighting ever cease? Mankind's almost out of luck A maniac could blow us up I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life But I get down on my knees and I pray Is there hope for the world today? Cue the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and some serious crisis of conscious on our boy’s part! Oh man, brace yourself for the moral outrage, guys. 10) Warboys – Queen + Paul Rodgers** They were born with the knowledge of the struggle to survive They were raised, learning only ways to stay alive Their language is the language of the bullet and the gun If you can see them coming, baby, better run Here come the warboys Here come the warboys Well they look so pretty as they march and drill It's such, a pity that they're dressed to kill Soldiers marching two by two When it all comes down they know exactly what to do (I can get away with using two Queen songs because this is them with Paul Rodgers, arguably a whole new band. Bite me.) Anyways, here’s a shout-out to the Jedi Strike team and the insanity that is Star By Star. Enjoy, won’t you? 11) Victim of Circumstance – Joan Jett Really gets you down when you don't belong An' everyone around says you growed up wrong But why do they resent it, I ain't doin' anything They say that I'm demented an' I never could sing Then everywhere I went I caused them such alarm You know I never meant to cause anybody harm, no Just a victim of circumstance Didn't you know Just a victim of circumstance Doesn't it show I'm just a victim of circumstance Wherever I go Just a victim of bad reputation I go no chance of shakin' I've been laughed at, I've been shut out But let there be no doubt Never been afraid of chances I been takin' Oh just the usual angst. Specifically being mad at everyone else for not listening to him about the Dark Jedi on Myrkr being bad. (“Guuuuys! Seriously guys!”) 12) The Monster Is Loose – Meat Loaf I've lived a thousand years in darkness Banished all alone Inside my mind with just my madness Behind these walls of stone I was falling apart at the seams Holding my breath just to breathe tasted the sting of my tears I was waking up stuck in a dream Ran out of air, couldn't scream Wasted away by my fears The monster's loose And now you know the truth Tell me can you feel it As you hit the wall The monster's loose And now you have to choose And prove that you can take it To the top and never fall Oh, here we go, my favorite part of LotF (granted, given the quality of those books and my overall extremely poor opinion of them it doesn’t take a lot to earn the spot of Favorite Moment in them. You know its true.) when the authors were like, “Wait a second, Zekk actually used to not be a total puss! Heck he fell to the Dark Side! Let’s do something with that!” So they went to town, and he fought a talking Sith spaceship with his mind (it was way cooler than that made it sound, hush.) but he had to use the Dark Side to do it and save Jaina from crazy bugslut Alema. (Jag was off running away from imaginary mynocks at the time. Don’t you just love that that statement is true? I do.) But then he was all Dark Side and trying to deal with it and a total wreck and I really thought they should have done more with that and stretched the angst out to the next book. But no, we got more Boba Fett and his whining instead. But anyways, my point is that, for one brief scene, both Zekk and LotF were awesome. 13) Life Wasted – Pearl Jam You're always saying that there's something wrong I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along Death came around, forced to hear its song And know tomorrow can't be depended on Seen the home inside your head All locked doors and unmade beds Open sores unattended Let me say just once that I have faced it, a life wasted I'm never going back again I escaped it, a life wasted I'm never going back again having tasted, a life wasted I'm never going back again Back to Zekk and his totally dysfunctionality with Jaina and general inability to talk to girls. Your chick’s falling to the Dark Side, pal! Grow a pair and stick around to help her out and save her soul! … Or totally run away when she needs you most. Way to be dependable there, slick. 14) Don’t Damn Me – Guns N’ Roses It's only for a while I hope you understand I never wanted this to happen Didn't want to be a man So I hid inside my world I took what I could find I cried when I was lonely I fell down when I was blind But don't damn me When I speak a piece of mind 'Cause silence isn't golden When I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been And I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me How can I ever satisfy you? And how can I ever make you see That deep inside we're all somebody And it don't matter who you wanna be But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend For this man can say it happened 'Cause this child has been condemned So I stepped into your world I kicked you in the mind And I'm the only witness To the nature of my crime So let us sum up; our boy here is conflicted and emo and dramatic and has a track record of bailing in critical situations and engaging in shirtless pull-up competitions rather than just talking to girls and eats bouquets. Also he only has half a name. And yet we love him anyways. Perhaps we should all go seek professional help.
