matrilIf I don't have a particular inspiration hit me for a new song, I just go and write something with lots of plot advancement to further my ultimate goal of writing ALL THE THINGS. So here's more for Episode I, picking up from where Invasion of Naboo left off. At the End of the Day gave me tons of material to work with...though it's ridiculously tricky to actually sing the words, considering the rapid-fire pace of the song...
JOURNEY FROM NABOO/ARRIVAL ON TATOOINE
(Original, though I couldn't find a version that wasn't shortened in some way or another)
Ric Olié: As our journey begins we are headed for trouble
As we come face to face with a deadly blockade
Now our shields won’t last for long
Obi-Wan: And we’re losing more droids by the minute
Panaka: If the shields can’t be repaired
All hope is gone
Ric Olie: But that little droid did it!
As our journey goes on we are not out of trouble
With a hyperdrive leak we can’t get very far
Qui-Gon: To refuel and make repairs
Find a planet that’s right for our purpose
Obi-Wan: Here’s a place, poor and out of the way
On Tatooine
Panaka: Though the Hutts make me nervous
As our journey goes on we must thank little Artoo
When he brought back the shields he saved all of our lives
Sabé: For your deeds you have our praise
Clean him, Padmé, as best as you can now
As our starship soars away
We will make it to Coruscant somehow
It’s your judgement we’re leaning upon
As our journey goes on
Jar Jar: As dis journey goes on my don’t think my belong here!
Mesa day starting fine till dat Jedi appear
Mesa scared, so berry scared
Padmé: And there’s so much that’s frightening here
With this danger that fills every hour
With peril so near
No one here’s feeling fearless
Sidious: Has the queen signed the treaty for you as we planned?
Nute: She has…vanished, my Lord, as her ship got away
Now it’s gone out of range and our sensors can’t track it
With no way to find it
Sidious: You misunderstand
For the Sith, it can be done
All too easy for Maul, my apprentice
Nute: This is getting out of hand
Now there are two
Lott Dodd: We should not have done this!
Qui-Gon: Now our journey is stalled, with the hyperdrive broken
We will have to replace it, and what’s more I feel
A disturbance in the Force
Obi-Wan: I am feeling it also, my master
Qui-Gon: I am wary of its source
We’ll pursue our goal faster and faster
Before all hope is gone
Till our journey is done!
Panaka: Wait a moment; you must take the queen’s handmaid with you
Qui-Gon: No more commands from her Highness today
Panaka: She wishes to know of this place and its people
Qui-Gon: I do not like this
Let’s go on our way
Mostly farmers and pilots, some scavenging bandits
But these spaceports are havens if they wish to hide
Padmé: That is just what we want
Qui-Gon: We’ll try one of those small shops
And see what we find there
Our fortune we’ll try
Watto: How can I help you goodly sir?
Qui-Gon: I need a hyperdrive repaired
Watto: Hey boy, come in and watch the store now
So if you’ll come with me outside
Anakin: Are you an angel? Could it be?
Such beauty I have never spied
I heard the pilots talk of them
And when I’m free I’ll fly away
Padmé: You mean to say that you’re a slave?
Anakin: Anakin is my name
Not a slave, but a person!
Padmé: Please forgive me my words
I did not understand
We have come from far away
I don’t know all your ways and your customs
Anakin: It’s not easy, but I’ve gotten by
One thing I know
Fixing things keeps me useful
Watto: So you’re needing repairs
And we have what you’re wanting
I can help if you tell me the way you will pay
Qui-Gon: I have credits here from the Republic
Watto: Credits?
No, that will not do
Put your credits away
Qui-Gon: That is all that I have
But that won’t be a problem
Watto: Yes it will, do you think
I’m a weak-minded fool?
Only money for the parts
No one else has the parts; they will cheat you
Qui-Gon: We are leaving; let’s be gone
Padmé: Anakin, I was happy to meet you
Anakin: I was glad to meet you too
Qui-Gon: And our journey goes on
Obi-Wan: Here on the ship there’s not enough
To barter for the parts we need
How will we ever leave this planet?
Qui-Gon: I’m sure we’ll find another way
Jar Jar: And mesa fear we’ll all be robbed
And crunched to bits -
Qui-Gon: That isn’t likely
We’ve nothing that they’d want to steal
Shopkeeper: Hey, put that back you dirty thief
Jar Jar: But mesa didn’t mean to steal
Sebulba: And now I’ll squeeze until you squeal
Anakin: If you’re looking for trouble you’ve found it right here
From a big time Outlander, you’ll pay very dear
Sebulba: Still this isn’t done
Every race I have won
Anakin: We will see.
Qui-Gon: And our journey goes on!
