FILK: Brawl Test

[stickbook41]

No: HPFGUIDX 55606

A filk to the tune of "Fight Test" by the Flaming Lips, on their 
excellent new album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

Dedicated to all those veteran filkers I admire.

*BRAWL TEST*
Setting: The Yule Ball...Ron begins his assault on Hermione's choice 
of dates.  He uses finger-quotes a lot.

DISEMBODIED VOICE:
The Brawl begins
 NOW!

RON:
I thought you were smart
I think that I'm right
I think it's better to pick a fight
I thought there was a virtue
In fighting for your school

So when it came time to dance
I thought I'll point out the chance
That this time you could be wrong
And that you
Would be a fool

You don't know where this "friendship" ends
And where the cheating begins
It's not a mystery!

Oh it's Harry who's your friend
Tell me why aren't you helping him
Work out his clue
Instead of fraternizing with Krum?

For I'm sure he takes advantage of
A certain girl blinded by "love"
I'm afraid I don't get it
Oh it makes
Me throw up

You don't know where this "friendship" ends
And where the cheating begins
It's not a mystery!
And I heard your confessions
About those little "study sessions"
In the library

All because of his fame
And he can't even say your name
You have to face it
That he doesn't really like you

I laid eyes on that guy
And I knew it was a pack of lies
I should have punched him
But instead I let him 
I let him take you

You don't know where this "friendship" ends
And where the cheating begins
It's not a mystery!
And you've got the nerve to get this uptight
When I likely saved your life
You got all mad at me!

You don't know where this "friendship" ends
And where the cheating begins
It's not a mystery!
And you don't know where the dancing ends
And where the treachery begins
Poor Harry's history!

(Harry rolls eyes. Hermione stomps off in a huff.)

And I don't know where school spirit ends
And where hormones begin
It's all a mystery

A mystery



Cheers!
