Ater Nox Superstar - A Rock Opera

[Hakketomat]

This just makes me sad

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

The superstar is missing

[Louisistan]

(Sheila, singing to sleeping Ater)

Try not to get worried
Try nor to turn onto
Problems that upset you, oh
Then you'll see everything's alright
Yes everythings fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

(Choir)
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes

[Louisistan]

(Sheila)
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you, and anoint you
Vegemite for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the vegemite's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight

(Choir)
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes

[Louisistan]

(Tanzoria)
Woman, your fine vegemite, brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for Mingulay
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair!

(Sheila)
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

(Choir)
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes

[Jabberwocky]

*waits for Greek chorus*

[Louisistan]

(Sheila, to herself)
I don't know how to love him.
What to do? How to move him?
I've been changed. Yes, really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he tags me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before.
In very many ways, he's just one more.

[Tanzoria]

Louisistan,

[Louisistan]

(Sheila, to herself)
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of coups?
Let my feelings out?

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny?
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

[Jabberwocky]

You have the wrong superstar.

[Aersoldorf]

Elvis wasn’t available

[HumanSanity]

Besides, Nox is better

[Aersoldorf]

By most accounts, yes.

[Liberdon]

What about the other accounts?

[Louisistan]

(Sheila)

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd post no spam, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

[Liberdon]

wipes away tears

Beautiful

[Aersoldorf]

Encore

[Louisistan]

(Meanwhile in the mansion, Tanzoria meets with Aersoldorf and Gunny)

(Tanz)
Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me.
It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you!
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord!

Just don't say I'm
banned for all time!

[Aersoldorf]

Tanz asking me and Gunny for help? We went from rock opera to full blown comedy in no time flat.

[Louisistan]

(Tanz)
I came because I had to, I'm the one who saw
Ater can't control it like he did before!
And furthermore I know that Ater thinks so too.
Ater wouldn't mind that I was here with you.
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord!

Just don't say I'm
banned for all time!

[Aersoldorf]

I might cry

(Tanz)
Gunny you're a worldly ape and wise!
Aersoldorf my friend I know you sympathize!
Why are we the prophets? Why am I the one
Who sees the sad solution knows what must be done?
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord!

Just don't say I'm
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanned fooooooooooooor aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

[Aersoldorf]

I'll take your reward since you don't want it

[Louisistan]

(Gunny)
Cut the protestings, forget the excuses!
We want information, get up off the floor!

(Aersoldorf)
We have the papers we need to arrest him.
You know his movements, we know the law.

(Gunny)
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded.

(Aerso)
We'll pay you in Tacos - Cash on the nail!
We just need to know where the fembots can find him

(Gunny)
With no crowd around him!

(Aerso)
Then we can't fail!

[Aersoldorf]

Ah the fembots, good times

[Louisistan]

(Tanz)
I don't need your blood money!

(Aerso)
Well that doesn't matter, our expenses are good.

(Tanz)
I don't want your blood money!

(Gunny)
But you might as well take it -- we think that you should.

Think of the things you can do with that money!
Choose Paffnia's charity, give to the poor.

(Aerso)
We've noted your motives. We've noted your feelings.
This isn't blood money it's ... a fee

(Gunny & Aerso together)
A fee, nothing more!


(Tanz, resigned)
On thursday's major, you'll find him where you want him.
Far from the crowds, in the garden of Ananke.


(Choir)
Well done, Tanzoria.
Good old Tanzoria.
Well done, Tanzoria.
Good old Tanzoria.

The Last Update
(Ater Nox, Tanzoria and the Knights of the palm tree attend major update)

(Knights)
Look at all my chasing and detagging
Sinking in a gentle pool of gin
Don't disturb me now! I can see the raiders
Till this region has updated
Then we'll win.

Always hoped that I'd be a defender.
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire we enjoy the armchairs.
So they'll all talk about us like
we're fair.

[Aersoldorf]

Bravo
