[filk] How it Feels to be Bishie, [filk] How it Feels to be Bishie

[Karma_B]

Oh dear, is this a good idea? Probably not - BISHIE is already approaching critical mass without further encouragement - but somehow I just couldn't help it. Anyway, this is a variation on Madonna's What it Feels Life For a Girl. In my twisted imagination, this is being sung to Ed by his conscience (who is either very quiet and unassuming or got lost in shipping between the US and Tokyo):

How it Feels to be Bishie

(Spoken:)

Bishies can look mean
And wield big shotguns
Wear long trenchcoats
'Cause it's OK to be a tough guy
But for a l33t agent to look bishounen is disturbing
'Cause you think that looking pretty is degrading
But secretly you've longed to know what it's like
Haven't you
How it feels to be Bishie

Deeply cool
Eyes as soft as honey, baby
Stylish clothes
Hugging your lithe body

L33t inside, but don't you show it
Giddy fangirls, they'll never know it
When you fix them with your sparkly gaze
Will you leave them in a daze

Chorus:

Do you know how it feels to be Bishie
Do you know that's what you want them to see
A Bishie

Hair that hangs in curls so soft and shiny, baby
Holsters empty on your hips, repenting

Guns you will no longer choose
Subtler weapons are yours to use
Will you use your wiles to woo your prey
'Stead of blowing them away?

(Chorus)

L33t inside, but don't you show it
Giddy fangirls, they'll never know it
When you fix them with your sparkly gaze
Will you leave them in a daze

(Chorus, repeat)

Bishounen
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know how it feels to be bishie
Is it what you want to be

Original Lyrics:

What it Feels Like For a Girl by Madonna

(Spoken:)
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

Chorus:

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting

Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less

(chorus)
(chorus, prefixing 3rd line with "What it feels like")

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

(chorus, repeat)

In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world

That was so good. We obviously have a theme song now.

The word "sparkle" will never be the same now.

Probably scared to produce the next Bishie-Ed comic now, for fear of the resulting tumultuos reaction. Maybe he'll let Dom draw Bishie-Ed in future, as an antidote.

Don't blame me - the sparkles are all AC's fault.

Ed's conscience.... There was a SGD about that....

But that gives me an idea!

[Ryo-san13]

yay Bishie-Ed....
*swooon*

[joshlamont]

Y'know, that's actually the first bit of writing that soothes the awful pain of knowing that Ed is now a bishie. Good work!
