Oh, like you're surprised.  Really.  If you were at chat, you may have
heard sisters admit liking Air Supply's 1983 chart-topper "Making Love
Out of Nothing At All," and owning recordings (um, yes, I own, but I did
not admit at the time).

So, as I've resigned myself to insomnia and the hell reserved for grad
students who slack on their work, I'm filking in the wee small hours of
the morning.  It turned out rather serious as far as my stuff goes.  Go
figure. I get marginally deep and exceedingly sarcastic at 3AM.

And, if anyone's interested, I've finished filking Mozart's Requiem,
with tributes to the XF Dead.  It's at xfrequiem.html.

"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" by Air Supply
is now "In the End Dana Scully Stands Strong"

She knows just how to take charge
And she knows to lend a hand
She knows just when to bite the words back
And she knows when to demand.

She knows to use her left hook
And she knows that she's been decked
She knows just when to take a call
And then she knows to disconnect.

And she knows in whom she can trust
And she holds her family dear
She knows when to act with caution
And she knows not to show her fear.

And she knows she's fond of children
Though she can't have one of her own
And although she may sound wistful
About dogs and the suburbs
She will say that it's by choice she's alone.

And she knows what she's accomplished
And she knows what's left to do
She knows when she's won
And she knows when it's too late
And she always sees her promises through.

And I watch her and I marvel
As she works through right and wrong
And I look to her example:
In the end Dana Scully stands strong.

Dana Scully stands strong (5x)
In the end Dana Scully stands strong

As she walks through hallways, she is calm and she's poised, her
Head held high, her body controlled
While faceless men in black suits seem to endlessly plot
Her destruction.

The losses of six years have brought pain, grief, and rage,
Yet she keeps on helping her fellow man.
She can chase a suspect down; just look at her run;
And she can get through cases without dropping her gun.

She has to persevere cause that's just how she is
And she's gonna save the world if she can.

She can make you feel frustrated
She can make you change your mind
And she is truly complex, so at the end of a new ep
A new facet or insight you find.

She can make you laugh with pleasure
Or she can make your throat go tight as you weep
She can make you see the value in pursuit of the truth
Although the personal cost may be steep.

Even though she's a TV character
In a stack of scripts her life belongs
Well I'm proud to say that I respect her:
In the end Dana Scully stands strong.

Dana Scully stands strong (7x)
