Maker's Notes: First off, let me say that I generally never listen to this type of music at all. And actually, all the American Idol I've ever seen was when my Mom was watching it. But then I heard this Kelly Clarkson song and was struck by how eeriely well it fit US/UK and well... next thing I know, this crazy idea for an FST was born. Yes, all the music on this FST is by female pop artists, but that doesn't mean I didn't try my hardest to get the lyrics to fit them. For some reason (I blame America himself) there's a lot of American Idol artists that snuck on here more than once, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!
1600s-1700s - America and England
[England finds a small country in the wilderness of a new land. The two form a close friendship]
1) Michelle Branch - All You Wanted
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the time comes
I'd take you away
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
Revolutionary War- America
[After all the various taxes and issues with the British government, the colonists take a stand]
2) Jordin Sparks - Battlefield
Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender
then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no
Both hands tied behind my back with nothing (nothing)
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
Revolutionary War-England
[England loses the colony, and even worse a blow, America himself]
3) Kelly Clarkson - Behind these Hazel Eyes
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
1800s- America
[America tries to move on, working towards being a country on his own]
4) Jordin Sparks - Tattoo
To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
1800s- England
[England expands the British Empire, but somehow, it's never quite enough...]
5) Pink - Sober
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
I won't remember, save your breath, 'cos what's the use?
Ah, the night is calling?
And it whispers to me softly come and play
Ah, I am falling
And If I let myself go I'm the only one to blame
I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
How do I feel this good sober?
early 1900s- America
[America finally starts to come onto his own as a nation of the world]
6) Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since U Been Gone
You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
WWI- England
[War breaks out in Europe, and England turns to America for help]
7) Krystal Meyers - Rescue Me
And all this time
I thought the fight
The fight was only mine
I need to let you rescue me
I'm taking fire
I'm feeling tired
I'm tired of this fight
I need to let you rescue me
WWII- America
[America finds himself acting like a jerk to England, which definitely has nothing to do with the fact he's worried about the guy. Or somewhat in love with him. Nope, not at all!]
8) Pink - Please Don't Leave Me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please don't leave me
How did I become so obnoxious,
What is it with you that makes me act like this,
I've never been this nasty,
Can't you tell that this is just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest,
But baby I don't mean it,
I mean it, I promise
WWII- England
[England's mood towards America fluctuates from kind to angry, all in an attempt to hide his real feelings for him]
9) Katy Perry - Hot n' Cold
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down...
Post WWII- America
[After the war ends, America and England form their "Special Relationship" and things between them start to look up]
10) Christina Aguilera - On Our Way
Me and you, we're different
Don't always see eye to eye
You go left, and I go right
And sometimes we even fight
That don't mean that I won't need a friend, oh
You and me, we're in this 'til the end, oh
I think we're on our way
Through all the lows and highs
I need you by my side, singing
I think we're on our way
To better days, better days, oh
Let's say we turn the page
Move on from all the times
Should've laughed, not cried, feeling
What is there more to say? (say)
I think that we're on our way
Post WII/Dissolution of the British Empire- England
[England lets go of his empire and the one left to comfort him is, ironically, the one colony who got away so long ago]
11) Jessica Sierra - Total Eclipse of the Heart
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, and every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, and every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Vietnam War/Cold War - America
[America gets involved in tensions worldwide, never quite sure who to trust outside his dearest ally]
12) Vanessa Carlton - Heroes and Thieves
Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figure it out
Darling it's you,
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you
I'm without your comforting logic like,
These days are the ones I'll miss
And I seek a solitude
That I can't find without you
Seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
Cause I do need it
Cold War - England
[And throughout America's problems, England steadfastly stands by him]
13) Kylie Minogue - Say the Word - I'll Be There
Caught in a winter storm
Kidnapped by anyone
I'll set you free
Say the word - I'll be there
To give you love and care
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Say the word - I'll be there
I'll reach you anywhere
Nothing can keep me away from you
War on Terror- America
[America seeks comfort after he's attacked on his home soil]
14) Superchick-Hold
Tell me that it's gonna be alright
Tell me that You'll help me fight this fight
Tell me that You won't leave me alone in this
'Cause I need, I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding over slow
'Cause I need, I need Your hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding past
Hold on to me
War on Terror - England
[And England, as always, is right beside him]
15) Britney Spears - I Will Be There
I will be there
Just take a stand
I'll be here for you
Now and forever
Give one more chance
To show you how much I care
I'll be there
When you need someone
I just turn around
And I will be there
When you're in sorrow
Just let me know and I will be there
Overall- America and England
16) Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out
I'm nothing without you
Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh Yeah
OMAKE TRACKS:
America/Britannia Angel
17) Beyonce Knowles - Halo
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
And because England is definitely wanting a certain Hero...
18) Frou Frou - Holding Out for a Hero
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
