What if Jos was one of us..

[Ash]

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with him
In all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

*And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets (*)

*And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome(*)

*And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome



Okay, there was an idea, from Colonel (Cantr) Radio.

So what the idea is, that the lyrics of the song will change to coincide with things that are related to Cantr, examples include:

(Oh, and you dont have to re-write the whole song, though if you think your up to it, go for it, if you aint, just a line would be good!)

What if Jos was one of us. If jos had a name, what would it be and would you call it to his face? If you were faced with him in "nothing worth mentioning"

-Missy

Had 200 minutes like one of us...

-Nick

Stole notes like some of us..

-Ash

What if jos was one of us, just a spawn like one of us..

-Colonel



Okay, so I hope you get the idea, let's try and change the whole song into a whole cantr based song.

Colonel also had the idea of one of his DJ's singing it. So people get composing. Nothing rude though.

Get composing....

[Missy]

lol Here's my quick stab. (I think it makes sense, but it is 4:41am)

If Jos had a name, what would it be?
And would you "say:" it to his face?
If you were seeing him
in all his "nothing worth mentioning."
What would you ask, if you had just one question?


And yeah, yeah, Jos is great.
Yeah, yeah, Jos is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Jos was one of us?
Just needing a job like one of us
Just a ranger like one of us
Trying to walk more pacely, home

If Jos had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
if seeing meant that
you would have to pretend
that things like iron from the ground and
spawning never existed.


And yeah, yeah, jos is great
yeah, yeah, jos is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Jos was one of us?
Just needing a job like one of us
Just a ranger like one of us
trying to walk more pacely, home


Trying to walk more pacely home
Back to Quillanoi, all alone
nobody invented hammers made from stone
cept' for thomas maybe, but he's gone

ANd yeah, yeah, jos is great
yeah yeah jos is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if jos was one of us?
Needing a job like one of us
Just a ranger eating nuts
trying to walk more pacely home


Just trying to walk more pacely home
Like a newspawn that's using bones
back up in quillanoi, all alone
Just trying to walk more pacely home
Nobody invented hammers made from stone
cept for thomas maybe, but he's gone.

[Sparkle]

That's sounds great Missy!

[colonel]

That is awesome Missy. Great job.

[formerly known as hf]

we need a Cantr band to sing and play these
*nods*
they're brill...
- anyone play any instrument?

[Pie]

I play the Base claranet.. Claranet.. and the wisle thingy. i also SING!

[colonel]

I play the Base claranet.. Claranet.. and the wisle thingy. i also SING!

So would that make you the "PIEd piper" then?

[Pie]

my emotions when you said that.

NEXT!

[mortaine]

Oh, man....

I play bass clarinet, too.

And about half a dozen other instruments. But bass clarinet is the one I play best, probably. Followed by the dulcimer.

[Pie]

Dulsimer you say.

[Solutions Maximus]

Well, this is meant to be funny. I totally love most of the things about Cantr. None of this is supposed to be true.

If Jos played this game, would he accept all of the
changes that he made,
Or would he go on a rampage,
like the Surly Cantrian,
And what would you change, if you could implement for just one day?

And yeah, yeah, jos is great
yeah, yeah, jos is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Jos was an old cuss,
Just a whiner like one of us,
complaining of all the rust,
stripping dead bodies of their clothes,

If Jos had a skill, what would it be?
And would you really want to see,
If seeing meant that,
you would lose 20 strength
and all of the doors of the town were locked
and you would die.

And yeah, yeah, jos is great
yeah, yeah, jos is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Jos was an old cuss,
Just a whiner like one of us,
complaining of all the rust,
stripping dead bodies of their clothes,

Stripping dead bodies of their clothes,
Sneezing and catching the Cantr cold,
wiping his red and runny nose,
leaving Siom on a boat,

And yeah, yeah, Jos is great.
Yeah, yeah, Jos is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Oh, my. That was horrible. Oh well, I am going to play it on guitar. I need to get ahold of that song. I forgot what instruments are in it.

I will probably just use my guitar and my lovely singing voice.

[Anthony Roberts]

No dedication to... to... to me? :'(

We all love Jos, though, true.

[SekoETC]

That was great. I was thinking the "nobody calling on the phone" part might be changed into

nobody knocking on the door
exept some newspawn getting lost.

Or then

exept some newspawn stealing notes.

[Solutions Maximus]

Hmm, I could make a dedication to you too if you wanted Anthony. Jos is just a little easier. Three letters is much, much easier than seven. But, hey, find a song, and I will redo it into a dedication to you.

[AoM]

Sung to the tune of "Carry On my Wayward Son" by Kansas.

Carry on my young newspawn,
Farm some food or you'll be done.
Join the forums but don't protest.
Don't you whine no more.

Once I sleep-worked through the noise and confusion,
Woke with 20 strength and a mild contusion
I saw three pirates on a soarer...
but they sailed away...
Though I had a shield it didn't protect me,
Though I volunteered they didn't select me,
I heard the Council giving orders...
I can hear them "say:"

Carry on my young newspawn,
Farm some food or you'll be done.
Join the forums but don't protest.
Don't you whine no more.

Made an old suggestion cuz I'm not into reading,
Which Anthony called me on before swiftly deleting,
And if I claim to be an "oldbie"
It surely means that I don't know...
On the unmoving screen of green death addiction,
Counting all the pixels with expert precision,
I set a course to get some limestone...
But I hear the Council "say:"

Carry on my young newspawn,
Farm some food or you'll be done.
Join the forums but don't protest.
Don't you whine no more.
No!

Carry on!
You're an awkward defender!
Carry on!
Pie can't use a spelling checker!
Now you're fully addicted...
Surely Cantr waits for you!

Carry on my young newspawn,
Farm some food or you'll be done.

Don't you whine no more!
