A song that KEEPS YOU AWAKE...

Today our English Literature teacher Mr Ahmad-the-great shared with us the songs that will (most likely) accompany characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream when they come out in a play...

Now introducing a song that will be covered by... 
*ta-da-da-da~*
OBERON the Fairy KING!!!

   
Oberon would sing this song in context of  TITANIA's betrayal to him (Ti is the Fairy QUEEN)

( Well for those who aren't familiar with William's plays, Oberon is a very malicious, adamant, egoistic masochist. But he is very, very loving to his charges the human beings too... because he is a responsible leader, so please do take him kindly... he's quite the ironic "protagonist" I admit :p heh )

What made me like the song so much was because of Mr Ahmad's one sentence... and I bet anyone would learn to love it too after knowing what he said...

He said :

"Just play this over & over to anyone you hate...
           and the person will definitely stay up all night..."

muahahahaha.......

Lyrics:
Your cheatin' heart,
Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won't come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...


Footnote : The short description of Oberon in this passage does not justify as a character analysis of Shakespeare's character.
