I don't know if any of you have seen the play, Rent, but it's one of my favorites, and the "I'll cover you Reprise" always brings out tears in me. -zelda I'll Cover You Reprise (Angel's memorial): Mimi: Angel was one of my closest friends. It's right that it's Halloween, because it was her favorite holiday. I knew we'd hit it off from the moment we met. That skin head was bothering her, and she said she was more of a man than he'd ever be, and more of a woman than he'd ever get... Mark: ...and then there was that time that he walked up to this group of tourists... and, they were petrified, because, a) they were obviously lost, and b) they had probably never spoken to a drag queen before in their lives...and he...she just offered to escort them out of Alphabet City, and then she let them take a picture with her, and then she said she'd help 'em find the Circle Line... Maureen: ...so much more original then any of us...you'd find an old table cloth on the street and make a dress...and next year, sure enough -- they'd be mass producing them at the Gap. You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends. But it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones. Collins: Live in my house I'll be your shelter Just pay me back With one thousand kisses Be my lover And I'll cover you Open your door -- I'll be your tenant Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet But sweet kisses I've got to spare I'll be there -- I'll cover you I think they meant it When they said you can't buy love Now I know you can rent it A new lease you were, my love, on life All my life I've longed to discover Something as true As this is So with a thousand sweet kisses I'll cover you .......... If you're cold and you're lonely You've got one nickel only When you're worn out and tired When your heart has expired So with a thousand sweet kisses I'll cover you ..........
