Total Eclipse of the Bard
(To the tune of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"; Nigel admits his character flaws)

Every now and then I try to sing a nice song and I never
quite get all the words
(Turn around)
It looks like there's a lot of syllables in each line but
when I try to sing them all I get
(Turn around)
Every now and then I try to finish a line, but then the
line is all over when I
(Turn around)
Even if I hurry and I think about things, I just kind of
rush my way through and
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I screw it up
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I screw it up
(Turn around)
Every now and then I try to talk to a cute girl, but I
stumble and can't think of what to

Every now and then, I'm only comfortable if I'm talking

Every now and then I screw it up
And I try to sing the song
And I try to sing it better
And if a cute girl comes along

And it's not like I don't have the skill points

I could bump up my Charisma, once in a while

Now I'm finding it's way too hard
Nothing I can do, I'm just not a very good bard
Once upon a time, I thought I'm meet a girl
But I just feel like a retard
Nothing I can say, I"m just not a very good bard
I'm just not a very good bard
