Xena/Gabrielle - "When Gabrielle was Young" (Xena: Warrior Princess music video)

Xena/Gabrielle from Gabrielle's POV. Yessssss there is subtext (aLOT), because there is on the show. Gabrielle thinks about how she has changed over the years, and the pivotal part Xena plays in this.

Dramatic/Romantic, but with a dash of humour; after all Xena doesn't exactly "talk like a gentleman"...but she is the hero Gabrielle waited to idolize! Or is she? :O

(Episodes used for the curious: "Sins of the Past" (1x01), "Return of Callisto" (2x05), "A Day in the Life" (2x15), "The Deliverer" (3x04), "A Good Day" (4x05), "Between the Lines" (4x15), "Looking Death in the Eye" (5x19), "To Helicon and Back" (6x15)]

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
* * *
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

gentlemen dont yell out "YOU BITCH" and they tend to be men or dragkings at least >.>

[sharnii]

That's a bit of a narrow view...

[spashley16]

I love it ! excellent idea... the all gentleman talk was funny as hell ! great song great video !

[sharnii]

Hehe thanks. ^^

[quietscheentchen]

tottaly love the killers and that song and its a cute video to it....and hey...of course xena talks lika gentleman :D

[sharnii]

thanks quiets :) It's fun how much Xena talks in the opposite way to how a gentleman would. I do believe the 1st time she is mouthing "you b*&ch" at Alti, and the other times she's issuing threats at poor guys she's beating up/putting the pinch on. ;P
