Knightmare parody of 'Always On My Mind'
by Elvis Presley
A piece of silliness inspired by the mention of "Grimaldine karaoke" in Knightmare Chat
one week – this immediately sprang to mind as a suitable song for the Series 7 character, who often
describes
himself as "always of the green". I could imagine a dungeoneer singing it at
his funeral, suddenly feeling bad about their awkward past encounters! (The actor who
played Grimaldine was... perhaps not the best at improvising, and tended to remain unhelpfully silent
until they asked him precisely the right question.)
Parody lyrics
Maybe I didn't greet you
Quite the way you prepared for
Maybe I didn't give you
Quite the object that you cared for
Little things you could have said and done
You just stayed mute and serene
You were always of the green
You were always of the green
Maybe I shouldn't scold you
For those stony, slow replies
Man, I guess they never told you
That you'd have to improvise
If I made you feel sick and stressed
Well, I'm so sorry for that scene
You were always of the green
You were always of the green
Tell me, tell me that you'll be back from the dead
Give me, give me one more chance to see your baldy head
Baldy head
It'll sting now you are dead and gone
Bye forever, Grimaldine
You were always of the green
You were always of the green
You were always of the green
Original lyrics – audio
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
