Together Til The End
02:31

Let's sneak out to the Hog's Head
And have a drink or five
Our heads may hurt come morning
But damn it's good to be alive
Let's go out and explore our world
Raid the kitchens, eat some toast
We're a team, we rule this school
You're there when I need you most
You're my best friends
I'd do anything for you
Together 'til the end
Oh, you know it's true
We live for the highs
Making trouble's what we do
We're together 'til we die
I'd do anything for you
Let's run away from education
And really learn something
We'll hide out in the forest
As winter turns to spring
The future's looking kind of scary
But it's still far away
No point in worrying about tomorrow
When we've still got today
You're my best friends
I'd do anything for you
Together 'til the end
Oh, you know it's true
We live for the highs
Making trouble's what we do
We're together 'til we die
I'd do anything for you

Up To No Good
02:37
|
|||
|
I'm in the middle, I'm stuck in neutral
Shut my eyes to the fight
Nose in a book, I'm not going to look
Too many questions, what's wrong and what's right
I've worked so hard to get where I am now
With the friends that I've found in this school
Lily's not backing down but I'm giving up
And nobody's acting that cool
I know it's not right but nobody's perfect
In the end I am nervous and I'm only a kid
So I'll stay with Padfoot even when he's crazy
I'll stick with Wormtail even when he's lazy
I'll be Prongs's friend even when he's insufferable...
This means trouble...
What does being in Gryffindor really mean?
Should I just mess around and cause a few scenes
Or defend everyone, even if they're unlovable?
This means trouble
Uh-oh, we're up to no good.
The smiles'll be worth it when we're in our dorms
Or by the fire in the common room
But right now it feels like we're breaking something
I'll say nothing, it'll be over soon
And I'm probably making a fuss over nothing
We're not so hard, we're mostly bluffing
So I'll stay with Padfoot even when he's crazy
I'll stick with Wormtail even when he's lazy
I'll be Prongs' friend even when he's insufferable...
This means trouble...
What does being in Gryffindor really mean?
Should I just mess around and cause a few scenes
Or defend everyone, even if they're unlovable?
This means trouble.
Uh-oh, we're up to no good.

Where You Belong
04:22
|

|
I wish we could sit under the full moon tonight
See the beauty of a world bathed in silver light
You would be safe, we'd be truly blessed
But this is the time we're all put to the test
So I'll stay with you, hold you, as you drift into sleep
And I hope that for once it's peaceful and deep
I know that it won't be, but oh I can hope
Because wishing and praying's the only way I can cope
Til you come back to where you belong
Til you come back to where you belong
The moon's a harsh mistress with a cruel, cruel song
Come back to where you belong
I crack a bad joke and it makes you half-smile
We'll lie on this cold floor for just a while
I'll stay by your side, 'til you buckle and shake
And I whimper and wonder how long I have to wait
Til you come back to where you belong
Til you come back to where you belong
The moon's a harsh mistress with a cruel, cruel song
Come back to where you belong
And I run
And I run...
Come back to where you belong
Come back to where you belong
Oh please, I don't wanna have to run from you
When this heart is where you belong.

Hand On My Heart
03:43
|
|||
|
There's things I've done that I'm not so proud of
Could have been someone better all along
Thought I was amazing, smart and perfect
Causing trouble, and blurring right and wrong
But I'll give up pranking now I'm head boy material
And I'll love you through the highs and the lows
'Cause you bring out the best in people
And make them want to be heroes
Hand on my heart, you're the best thing about me
Our life together's just begun
Hand on my heart, you're the best thing about me
Lily, I know that you're the one
I'm sorry for all of the times I was arrogant
And the times I was jealous of your friends
And even though I don't always take the high road
I swear I'm somebody you can mend
So me and my friends, we will protect you
And I don't care who makes a fuss
Because now I'm yours, you're in my arms
And nobody messes with us
Hand on my heart, you're the best thing about me
Our life together's just begun
Hand on my heart, you're the best thing about me
Lily, I know that you're the one

Big Bad World
02:21
|
|||
|
I guess I might have been brave once
But it seems so long ago
The hat put me in Gryffindor
It wasn't just for show
I know I wasn't much use in class
But I did all that I could
Sometimes I think you kept me around
Just to make yourselves look good
I know that I shouldn't let him win
But what am I supposed to do?
We're just little people in the big bad world
I can't rely on you
Maybe if I refuse his service
You could rescue me again
But this is not like getting hexed at school
And you weren't much help then.
His methods make me scream inside
It's filled me up with fear
We all wanted to save the world
But you've got your Judas here
I know that I shouldn't let him win
But what am I supposed to do?
We're just little people in the big bad world
I can't rely on you

Conviction
03:32
|

|
I found you all when I least expected
A family I chose, through thick and thin
Thought we were happy and so protected
But the doubts kept seeping in
Moony, I knew in my heart it wasn't you
But sometimes hearts are full of lies
Thought I knew in my head that he wouldn't do
Something like this, thought I was wise
But that rat's framed me, killed them, left me
In my traitor's crown
That rat's framed me, killed them, left me
But someday I'll take him down
'Cause I lost everything that night
The precious world we were all making
But I won't go quiet, without a fight
Even when my heart is breaking, breaking
Remus, forgive me for my trespass
When your good heart was always clean
James, forgive me for my arrogance
Should have known things aren't as they seem
And I'm laughing 'cause that's all I can do
Always grinned to hide the frown
And I'm laughing 'cause that's all I can do
But someday I'll take him down
'Cause I lost everything that night
The precious world we were all making
But I won't go quiet, without a fight
Even when my heart is breaking, breaking
'Cause I lost everything that night
A life without the lies and faking
As I go down, I laugh out loud
To hide the sound of my heart breaking, breaking...

Every Star In The Sky
04:01
|

|
I served a different sentence for that crime
A world apart, displaced in time
I saw your face everywhere I turned
Thought I heard your voice sometimes
And you've come back a changed man
I see it in your eyes, the trace of Azkaban
With your smile that could demolish stony hearts
Slowly fading, and a tremor in your hands
It's hard to sleep and it's hard to cry
But still I repeat it like a lullaby
This war will end, we'll see them again
I swear on every star in the sky
Cut your nails and wash your hair
Take the fear from your cold grey stare
Drink will warm us to our old bones
Make this broken world more beautiful and fair
You always could see right through me
A silent smile for some inner beauty
I always did know how to calm you down
But life's not the same without James and Lily.
It's hard to sleep and it's hard to cry
But still I repeat it like a lullaby
This war will end, we'll see them again
I swear on every star in the sky.
It's hard to sleep
But still I repeat
We will see them again
I swear on every star in the sky.

Done In By Curtains
04:27

|
This fall, it lasts forever
No time to scream or cry
I think of Remus and Harry
I didn't get to say goodbye
I got through the toughest troubles
I survived what life threw at me
Just to get killed by my bloody cousin
And some malevolent drapery
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting
For the Order of the Phoenix, all the wrongs that we're righting
I'd rather go out with a bang than in a prison cell
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting
I felt so sorry for myself
Free but not free at all
Moping in my mother's house
Feeling tired and old and small
Didn't think I could take it
And perhaps I did go mad
But you can't keep a good dog down
When there's adventure to be had
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting
For the Order of the Phoenix, all the wrongs that we're righting
I'd rather go out with a bang than in a prison cell
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting
Harry, keep on going
Good will always prevail
Remus, hold the fort
We're waiting beyond the veil
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting
For the Order of the Phoenix, all the wrongs that we're righting
I'd rather go out with a bang than in a prison cell
At least I died laughing, at least I died fighting

Right Hand Man
03:24
|
|||
|
This summer's the coldest in my history
It's creeping in my bones, the sun's never here
Can't imagine growing up in this ugly place
Every shadow speaks of hate and fear
The summers of my youth were clear and warm
Hiding behind them, pointing and jeering
But the worm turned in both of us
Our victim grew, now he's the one steering
I'm the Dark Lord's right hand man
And he's the left and hates the the sight of me
I was there in the Shrieking Shack
Full of echoes of him hanging from that tree
I saw the murder in his eyes
He's the Dark Lord's servant but he might
Carry on his hatred over to me
And I was never that good in a fight
Sometimes I think there is more to it
Than childhood battles and humilations
Treating me like a household drudge
And as if not killing me takes concentration
I creep around and I can barely breathe
I've given more than he ever could
I'm listening at doors and twitching at noise
I bet he thinks he's just misunderstood
I'm the Dark Lord's right hand man
And he's the left and hates the the sight of me
I was there in the Shrieking Shack
Full of echoes of him hanging from that tree
I saw the murder in his eyes
He's the Dark Lord's servant but he might
Carry on his hatred over to me
And I was never that good in a fight

So Sweet
03:14
|

|
This year has been so hard to take
And I'm thankful you've been there
It's been comforting to sit with you
When it was all too much to bear
I've always lived with labels
That push me from polite society
And I don't know if you understand
That the problem lies inside of me
I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
Too old, too poor, too dangerous...
And you're so young, so sweet
And it hurts to see you fade away
And dear god just know it tears me up
I just don't have the words to say
That you deserve much better
Than someone so incomplete
And I can't believe that I'm loved again
By someone so sweet
We've both lost a lot lately
We've both taken on the guilt
For a death that was almost unreal
There was no shout and no blood was spilt
I know I can't live in the past
It turns people sick and cold
And maybe there is nothing wrong
With wanting someone to to hold
But I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
Too old, too poor, too dangerous...
And you're so young, so sweet
It hurts to see you fade away
And dear god just know it tears me up
I just don't have the words to say
That you deserve much better
Than someone so incomplete
And I can't believe that I'm loved again
By someone so sweet

The Forest Again
03:13
|

|
Don't cry for us, we're free and we're young
Our troubles are behind us, and our journey's done
The moon doesn't burn, there are no scars to conceal
And Azkaban's a nightmare that was never real
We know these paths so well, the forest was our home
On four feet or on two, we were always free to roam
We'll guide you to your fate with all our love and pride
Your godfather and teacher, standing at your side
And we will stay with you til the very end
Your mother and your father, and their stubbornest of friends
We were there at your beginning, we'll be there at your end
As we all walk through the forest again...
So stay strong, we're with you, youthful and whole
Given back the happiness that the darkness stole
We'll take you to the place where you'll face your final test
Wand at the ready, heart thumping in your chest
And we will stay with you til the very end
Your mother and your father, and their stubbornest of friends
We were there at your beginning, we'll be there at your end
As we all walk through the forest again...

The Prince's Tale
by Lauren Fairweather
supported by 6 fans who also own “Up To No Good”
Yeah, this should be considered a wizard rock classic. Here, Lauren (originally one half of the Moaning Myrtles) sings from the alternating points of view of Severus and Lily in a chronological series of songs inspired by a single chapter of Deathly Hallows. More upbeat songs like 'This Is It' are contrasted with moodier ones like 'Lose You' and 'Freak', and the way the characters develop throughout the songs is shown well. A very relistenable collection.

When The War Came
by Avery Marshall
supported by 5 fans who also own “Up To No Good”
A gorgeous second album that holds up well to the high standard set by the first. The sweet love songs are back, along with an ode to Ron Weasley, a gorgeous metawrock song (and I'm not usually a big fan of metawrock), a couple of spiritual successors to songs from the debut album and one of my favourite DH Chapter 34 songs ever, among other gems. The fact that Avery is a songwriting genius cannot be understated.
