The Westeros Blues
Tune: "Butterbug Blues", by Echo's Children
I conquered this kingdom, my life was just fine
My wife she is gorgeous and my children are…mine!
Her brother is friendly but I'm missing the clues
I've got the
Wife is a devil-spawn, siblings are getting on
Puppet king blues

Look Up, Dominique
Tune: original
Based upon "The Fountainhead", Ayn Rand (yes, yes, yes…)
She stands by the building, she raises her gaze
The skyscraper glinting in pale summer haze
The city runs by her, a woman alone
The iron and concrete, the glass and the stone
She knows he is high on the building she loves
And she knows he will never look down
The bright living sunlight brings tears to her eyes;
Her feet will not answer the ground

Neverfly
I've developed an intensly negative reaction to the "Go-Play-With-Fairies" brand of filk. I mean, I'll enjoy the songs as much as the next person, but I dislike the worldview they portray – "We don't belong, we should run away someplace where we'll be happy". It's annoyingly irresponsible.
Besides, I quite like the idea of growing up.
Tune: Heather Alexander's "Neverland"
הקלטה בביצוע דנה כץ, ללא ליווי.
Once we all were children, and so it was we played,
But then I had to grow up and I left you where you stayed.
I married my dear James, the bravest man I've ever known,
And had my Darling Angela, a daughter of my own.

Middle-Earthly Lotus
The whole thing about lotus flowers is how they grow in the middle of swamps and yet they're beautiful and pure and stuff.
Orcs… Not so much with the beautiful and pure, admittedly, but the comparison still holds water. Or at least mud.
Tune: Maureen S. O'Brien's "Barrayaran Roses"
We are like the lotus
Rising from the swamp,
Emerging to a life
So filled with strife,
We're thoughtless, dumb and damp.
We were elves, and now we're tainted, soiled;
Orcs are Middle-Earthly lotus,
Born to toil.

Pushing the Message On
It figures that the only Pratchett filk I have written to date is 1. serious-bordering-on-OSE and 2. incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read a certain Discworld novel ("Going Postal", as it happens – and if you like Pratchett and haven't read it yet, READ IT).
Also, it figures that the people this song relates to are basically the Discworld's equivalent of network programmers. Heh.
Tune: Jordin Kare's "Pushing the Speed of Light"
Now the Grand Trunk stretches across the land
Pushing the message on.
And the towers need every working hand
To push the message on.
And you're far too young, and you're far too bright,
But it's far away and the pay's all right,
So you find yourself spending endless nights
Pushing the message on.
And you've left behind you your childhood's home
To direct the messages' restless roam
As you're pushing the message on.

הקמ"א מפלוגת וומפיר
מבוסס במעורפל על סיפורי פלוגת וומפיר של גיא ווינר. מי אמר שאין פילקים לסיפורת מקומית?
לחן: Barrett's Privateers
הייתי אז בן שבע-עשרה.
לא ידעתי כלום מהחיים.
אמרו לי, "לך לעתודה,
קבל תנאים ועבודה–"
הבני זונות! הבטיחו לי
כבוד, יקר, חיים קלים,
כספים לרוב, עתיד מזהיר–
ואני שבוז וקצת מריר,
הקמ"א מפלוגת וומפיר.
