Good one. Certainly on hell-hot Hades, shedding in the shade and feeling oh so smoking-hot, hazy and lazy.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Hey there, Eloise
What's it like in Nouveau Paris
I am light-years away from you
But, my love you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Haven can't shine bright without you
I swear, it's true

Hey there, Eloise
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, for us, our Republic
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, my love, my Eloise
What you do to me

Hey there, Eloise
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me, My President
Someday I'll end this awful war
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there, Eloise
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, for us, our Republic
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, my love, my Eloise
What you do to me

Right now my fleet seems pretty far
But we've got cruisers and Dreadnoughts
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'd just laugh along because we'd know
That none of them have felt this way
My 'Loise, I can promise you
That by the time this war is through
Our Haven will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there, Eloise
You be good, and don't you miss me
One last mission and I'll end this war
And re-write Haven's history like you do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Eloise, here's to you
This one's for you

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, for us, our Republic
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, my love, my Eloise
What you do to me
What you do to me,

oh oh, woah, woah
Oh woah, oh
Oh


YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HUMAN ON THIS PLANET AND I HATE YOUR GUTS.

Nimitz:

The theme from "The Bridge on the River Kwai" but in 'cat:

Bleek bleek, bleek bleek bleek bleek bleek bleek
Bleek bleek, bleek bleek bleek bleek bleek bleek
bleek bleek, bleek bleek bleek bleek
bleek bleek bleek bleek bleek, bleek bleek bleek, bleek BLEEK!!

:D

*******

Javier and 'Loise (the other woman in the song is obviously Haven personified :) )

"Here's to Us" by Ellie Goulding:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMIoY0QQMGs

Eloise:
You're falling at your feet (giving everything up...)
There's something in the way, love is never enough
I see your sorry how I'm burning down the gun
With a war in your mind that never wants to be won
I catch you in a light no one else can see
I know you see Haven, you'll never see me
She makes you feel the most, keeps your hope alive
But what we had my love (it never really died...)

Both
And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish our love had survived, now your heart is with her
And I know that your fear wasn't here to stay
I gave you all my love but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love the Republic, just to know your worth

But here's to us, here's to us, here's to us

Javier
Yeah, this is just a phase, pretty sure of that
And one day, you and I, we will never look back
You kept me in the flames but the fire was out, the fire was out!

Both
And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish our love had survived, now your heart is with her
And I know that your fear wasn't here to stay
I gave you all my love but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love the Republic, just to know your worth

And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish our love had survived, now your heart is with her
And I know that your fear wasn't here to stay
I gave you all my love but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love the Republic, just to know your worth

(But here's to us, here's to us, here's to us...)

Over the Hills and Far Away- Republic of Haven Edition

Here's forty thousand credits on the table
For those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away…


O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Tambourin, Barnett and Solon
President Pritchart commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away…

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray.
Over the hills and far away…

If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away

O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Tambourin, Barnett and Solon
President Pritchart commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away…

I feel no regrets for rewriting this. More details if you PM me.
