The Ballad of Tom Jones

I suppose this is sort of an alternative ending to Gatch 1.

Filked from The Ballad of Tom Jones by Space and Catatonia, into a duet between Berg Katse and Joe. I don't think I've ever left so many lyrics intact in a filk :-)

  BK: What did I do wrong?
Joe: Your assassin killed my parents...
BK: Am I really all that bad?
Joe: You're worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger...
BK: Why're we here together?
Joe: Oh I can't leave you till you're dead
BK: You mean like death do us part?
Joe: I mean like shooting, strangulation or an axe to your head...

Joe: It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
BK: They say that music soothes the savage beast
Joe: There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
BK: The two of us would surely have ended up dead

Both: You stopped us from killing each other
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
Both: You'll never know but you've saved our lives
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
BK: I've never thrown my knickers at you...
Joe: And I don't come from Wales...

Joe: Still haven't solved our problem...
BK: You mean we hate each other's guts?
Joe: Still wanna poison your merlot
BK: And I still wanna cut off your nuts
Joe: I tracked you to your secret base
BK: I had my goons all beat you senseless
Joe: I'm sick of all this hatred
BK: Oh that would be the shrapnel making you sick...

Joe: You were about to activate the black hole device
BK: As you threw a shuriken you knocked the stereo on
Joe: You changed your mind and turned the volume up
BK: It was lucky for us X left his Greatest Hits

Both: You stopped us from killing each other
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
Both: You'll never know but you've saved our lives
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
BK: I've never thrown my knickers at you...
Joe: And I don't come from Wales...

BK: And now our war is over
Joe: I've lost the urge to break your neck
BK: I owe my life to "What's New Pussycat?"
Joe: "Delilah" stopped me hating you and wishing your death
BK: Oh I used to call you Satan
Joe: And you were Cruella De'Vil
BK: But now you call me your Delilah
Joe: And now I'm not your Lucifer
BK: And I am just your pussycat

BK: Well just a word of warning now
Joe: Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
BK: I own the Mafia, mechs bigger than King Kong
Joe: And I know how to make all your missiles go wrong

Both: You stopped us from killing each other
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
Both: You'll never know but you've saved our lives
Both: Tom Jones, Tom Jones
BK: I've never thrown my knickers at you...
Joe: And I don't come from Wales...
