Rothberry the Apothecary has fallen on hard times. Based on Going Through The Motions from the musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Once More with Feeling. Official audio here.
[ROTHBERRY:]
Every single day: apothecary
I go out and strike a deal
Still it always feels so strange and scary
Nothing here is right, nothing here is real
I've been in a haze of trading days just hoping no one says
That I've been going through the potions
Fortunes getting worse
Nothing seems to penetrate my... purse
I was always tall and kind, not noxious
Now I find I'm wavering
Come up to my stall, you'll find this stock just
Isn't worth a thing
[MOTLEY:]
You'll be bust by Spring
[ROTHBERRY:]
...Thanks for noticing
[SYLVESTER HANDS, SIDRISS, MOTLEY:]
He did pretty well with charms and spells
But lately we can tell
That he's just going through the potions
Flaking out somehow
[HANDS, after drinking 'Pain Medicine' from the stall:]
He's not even half the bloke he... ow!
[ROTHBERRY:]
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavour?
[HONESTY BARTRAM:]
Come and work for me...
[ROTHBERRY:]
...Whatever
I don't want to be
Going through the potions
Too few coins to thrive
[BARTRAM:]
He can't even see
I'll make him work for free
[ROTHBERRY:]
And I just want to be... alive.

Re:I had a silly idea...
No objections from me - I'd be flattered! Other people have expressed an interest in recording some of the songs as well. Please keep us posted (literally I suppose) on any developments, Snowcat and Sue!
