Hamleton (Satisfied)

GUYS. THIS MAKES IT SO MUCH SADDER.

(If you haven't heard Satified, listen to it a few times real quick. I put it up top. This will mean nothing if you don't know the song.)

[LAERTES]
Alright alright, that's what I'm talking about!
Now, everyone give it up for the man of honor: Horatio!

[HORATIO] (Company)
A toast to the groom!
(To the groom x3)
To the bride!
(To the bride! To the bride)
From the scholar
(Horatio x4)
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To your union
(To Denmark, to the revolution)
And the hope that you provide
(You provide, you provide)
May you always (always) be satisfied...

ｒｅ ｗｉｎｄ

I remember that night, I just might
I remember that night, I just might
I remember that night
I remember that-

I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys
Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can't quite place
My lord, prince Hamlet,
I'll never forget the first time I saw your face

I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said "hi"
I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame
Every part aflame
This is not a game

[HAMLET]
You strike me
As a scholar who has never been satisfied

[HORATIO]
I'm sure I don't know what you mean
You forget yourself

[HAMLET]
You're like me...
I'm never satisfied

[HORATIO]
Is that right?

[HAMLET]
I've never been satisfied

[HORATIO]
My name is Horatio

[HAMLET]
Hamlet, prince of Denmark
Where's your family from?

[HORATIO]
Unimportant-

[HAMLET]
That's okay, you don't have to say
Let's have some fun, have some fun

[HORATIO]
sO SO SO
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level
What the hell is the catch?
It's the feeling of freedom
Of seeing the light
It's a dream on a midsummer's night
You see it, right?

The conversation lasted two minutes
Maybe three minutes
Everything we said in total agreement
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture
It's a bit of a stance

He's a bit of a flirt
But Imma give him a chance
He asked about my family
God, did you see my answer?
My hands started fidgeting
I looked askance
I'm penniless and flying by the seat of my pants

He's handsome
Boy, does he know it
Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I see Ophelia's face and she is-

[OPHELIA]
Helpless!

[HORATIO]
And I know she is-

[OPHELIA]
Helpless!

[HORATIO]
And her eyes are just-

[OPHELIA]
Helpless!

[HORATIO]
And I realize three fundamental truths
At the exact same time

[HAMLET]
Where are you taking me?

[HORATIO]
I'm about to change your life.

[HAMLET]
Then by all means, lead the way.

[Company]
Number one!

[HORATIO]
I'm a man in a world in which it's
Frowned upon for two men to get hitched
As my father's only son
It's my job to social climb for one

He doesn't know this
I'm not the boldest
His parents are never gonna be okay with it
But he knows I'm penniless
That doesn't mean he'd love me any less

[OHPELIA]
Ophelia. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[HAMLET]
Ophelia?

[HORATIO]
My best frie- sister.

[Company]
Number two!

[HORATIO]
I first became friends with him
Cause I knew that he was a prince
I knew I'd
Have to be stupid to set status aside
And that is why

I introduced him to Ophelia
Now that's his bride
Nice going, Horatio
Hamlet's right
I will never be satisfied

[OPHELIA]
I can't say I've ever met a prince before, my lord. It must be difficult.

[HAMLET]
If it takes running a country for us to meet, it will have been worth it.

[HORATIO]
I'll leave you to it.

[Company]
Number three!

[HORATIO]
I know prince Hamlet
Like I know my own mind
But I'll never find
Someone who accepts "my kind"
I can't tell him that I love him
So I'm silently resigned
He's not mine
But we'll be fine
If I keep lying

But when I fantasize at night
It's my sweet prince's eyes
And I romanticize
What could've been
If the world would just accept me
At least my dear Ophelia's his wife
At least I keep prince Hamlet in my life...

To the groom!
(To the groom x3)
To the bride!
(To the bride! To the bride)
From the scholar
(Horatio x4)
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To your union!
(To Denmark, to the revolution)
And the hope that you provide!
(You provide, you provide)
May you always (always) be satisfied...

And I know
He'll be happy with his bride
And I hope
I can be satisfied
Because he's satisfied
