Wishing That This Shit Never Happened Lyrics by The Nostalgia Critic

The Phantom of the Opera (musical review)

2016

(Hyper – album-only section:)
You were once my favorite critic
You made movies better
(Beth – album-only section:)
And you were a classic novel
Then came Andrew Lloyd Webber
(Beth:)
Wishing that this shit never happened
Wishing we could just retreat
To times before
Over-bloated scores
And fairy tale endings
(Hyper:)
Wishing we could watch movies once again
Like The Princess Diaries 2
There on the couch
Laughing out loud
Without kidnapping you
(Beth:)
The Phantom was a tragic figure
Not some emo canary
(Hyper:)
If only we could go back in time
To Christmas, oh, so merry
(Chester A. Bum – video-only line:) And I thought my problems were bad!
(Beth:) It's not enough
(Hyper:) I won't give up
(Beth/ Hyper:)
'Til I can press rewind
Wishing that this shit never happened
Then it could be him and me
(Hyper:) I'll use coercion
(Beth:)
Where is the Persian
And ambiguity?
No more pretending
Won't let Webber slide
(Hyper:)
No more fun and games
I will make him mine
(Beth:) Help me press rewind
(Beth/ Hyper:) Help me press rewind
