Tokyo Darjeeling

Every religion needs its bit of karaoke and sing-a-long. To fulfil this, I sometimes make fandom re-writes of songs. Here you’ll find the lyrics, and hopefully in the future, the recordings/videos for them. 

All rights belong to their respective copyright holders of the original content; no copyright infringement intended. All true claims of removal from copyright holders will be respected and taken into immediate affect. The parts that were written by me also belong to me and may not be recorded, performed or altered without my prior consent. 

All re-writes should be read without total seriousness and should be taken as jokes or parodies or tributes; never as insults.

Please enjoy and refrain from being a jerk :)

Tumblred - When Will My Life Begin?

A tumblr rewrite by TokyoDarjeeling

Based on Disney’s Tangled When Will My Life Begin?

7 AM, the usual morning lineup
Start on the blogs and sweep ‘til the dash’s all clean
Like and reblog, write and delete and queue up
Sweep again, and by then it’s like 7 PM?!

And so I’ll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I’ll add a few new fanarts to my gallery
I’ll play a RPG 
And squeal and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after midnight it’s poems and ships and baking
Smut, Supernatural and Sherlock
Potter and the Doctor, cupcake eating
Then I’ll flail, maybe scream, win a poll
Hit refresh!

And I’ll reread the fics
If I have time to spare
I’ll search the tags some more
I’m sure there’s porn somewhere
And then I’ll scroll and scroll
and scroll and scroll my dash
Stuck on the same page I’ve always been

And I’ll keep likin’ and blogin’
And blogin’ and likin’
When will my life begin?

And tomorrow night
Gays will appear
Just like they do on my dashboard each day
What is it like
Out there where they glow?
Now that I’m older
Tumblr might just
Let me go…

Dark Days are Over

A Sherlockian rewrite by TokyoDarjeeling

Based on Florence + The Machine’s Dog Days are Over

Obsession hit her like a street to the cheek
Coming towards her
Free fall
No turning back

She hid around tumblr and she hid under blankets
She fed it with fanfic and from it she fled
With every tweet she sank with her ship
And washed it away down the Internet

The dark days are over
The dark days are done
Season 3 is coming so you better run

Run fast for your Moffat
Run fast for your Godtiss
Run for your fandom
For your sisters and brothers
Leave all your hope and your sanity behind
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dark days are over
The dark days are done
Can you hear the fangirls ‘cause here they come

“I was so alone and owe you so much
Could you just do this one thing for me?” Oh

Heartbreak hit her like a boomerang
Thrown from a distance by a sportsman who should know better than that

The dark days are over
The dark days are done
Can you hear the fanboys ‘cause here they come

Run fast for your Cumber
Run fast for your Batch
Run for your Freeman
For your Graves and your Scott
Leave all your rage and your BAFTA’s behind
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dark days are over
The dark days are done
Can you hear the fangirls ‘cause here they come
(Here they come)

The dark days are over
The dark days are done
(Here they come)
Season 3 is coming so you better run

On the show I love and I’m like,

A Server Only We Know

A missing e rewrite by TokyoDarjeeling

Based on Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty dash
I knew the gateway like the back of my hand
I felt the page beneath my feet
Sat by the old blogs and it made me complete

Oh, missing e, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting bored and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen blog
I felt the gif-sets of it looking at me
Is this the site we used to love?
Is this the site that I’ve been dreaming of?

Oh missing e, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting bored and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Chat about it, a server only we know?
This could be the end of better reblogs
So why don’t we go, a server only we know?
A server only we know

Oh missing e, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting bored and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Chat about it, a server only we know?
This could be the end of better reblogs
So why don’t we go, so why don’t we go ?
Hmmmaaaa…..Ahhhoooooo….
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go, a server only we know ?
A server only we know, a server only we know.
