Story Behind the Song
So I competed in this Poetry Slam one night, and I lost horrifically. Talking to Dave Blank afterwards, he pointed out that my hat was casting a shadow over my face so that "it was like watching Darth Vader read a Love Poem." Now, any normal person would have taken this observation and said "OK, no hat when I slam." I have been accused og being many things, but normal is not one of them. I wrote this as a result.
Lyrics
If you only knew the power
of my love for you.
My cardiostimulator skips a beat
whenever you draw near
when I see your face
my respirator forgets to breathe for me...
(khhhhhh.....khhhhhh...)
If you only knew the power
I could wield for you
the power we could wield together
join me
and we will destroy the Emperor
rule the Galaxy as cyborg and wife
join me
and I shall place the Universe
at your feet,
all the suns and moons you could desire
shall be yours;
you shall have legions of stormtroopers
to clip your nails
and Jedi masters
to primp your hair.
Join me!
It is your density
...
I mean,
your destiny...
If you only knew the power
you have over me:
there is nothing I would not do for you.
For you,
I would crush a hundred insignificant rebellions
Disintigrate a thousand inhabited worlds
obliterate a million incompetent underlings
lay waste to entire sectors...
For you,
I would refuse to use the Jedi Seduction Trick
trade in my Death Star for a minivan
and white picket fence in the suburbs
spurn the power of my position
and take a job with the phone company...
(welcome to Verizon...)
For you
I would give in to the power
of the Light Side,
lay aside my armour,
open up what remains of my heart
to kindness and compassion
try to remember what it is
to be human.
If you only knew the power
of my love for you
