Something to Sing About Lyrics - Buffy the Vampire Slayer Original Cast Soundtrack

BUFFY
Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts

It's all right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along

Where's there's life
There's hope, everyday's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard all day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world

Don't give me songs

GILES (spoken)
She needs backup. Anya, Tara...

BUFFY
Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about (ANYA AND TARA: Ahhhhh...)
I need something to sing about

Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse


Still, my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for


All the joy, life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well, that depends
On if they let you go
Or if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd

There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
'Cuz I've been expelled
>From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven

So, give me something to sing about
Please
Give me something

SPIKE
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living

DAWN (spoken)
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it
