God Help Us All (God Only Knows, Brian Wilson / Tony Asher)


Ben: What happens if I can't get them all to come back? Eloise Then God help us all.
- The Lie

Eloise and Ben don't seem to like each other very much. Here, to the tune of the Beach Boys' God Only Knows, she tries to impress upon him the urgency of his mission.

God Help Us All

I saw you light that candle.
So, is this job too much to handle?
Are six recruits too many?
Good gracious, have you got any?

God help us all if you don’t collect them.

In seventy more hours,
We’ll have to trust in higher powers
If your talent still proves lacking.
Come on, Benjamin, get cracking!

God help us all if you don’t collect them.

God help us all if you don’t collect them.

In seventy more hours,
We’ll have to trust in higher powers
If your talent still proves lacking.
Come on, Benjamin, get cracking!

God help us all if you don’t collect them.
God help us all if you don’t collect them.
(God help us all if you don’t collect them.)
God help us all if you don’t collect them.
(God help us all if you don’t collect them.)

Flight 815 (Sloop John B., Traditional)

Here's an optimistic little LOST ditty to the tune of Sloop John B. set on September 23, 2004.

Flight 815

Boone: We boarded Flight 815,
And Shannon pitched a scene.
No pass for first class made her moan.
That little slight
Turned out quite all right;
When the airplane broke up,
Our limbs were still on.

Castaways: So what if 815 failed
And we're not rescued yet?
We weren't remotely on course,
Radio's gone, radio's gone,
The radio's gone. (Yeah, yeah)
But I feel so grateful
My limbs are still on.

Hurley: I've got such rotten luck,
I almost wound up stuck
In Sydney. I guess it would be better that way.
Dude, my poor mom.
How is she getting along? (Yeah, yeah)
Well, at least there's not much more that can go wrong...

Castaways: So what if 815 failed (What if 815...)
And we're not rescued yet? (And we're not rescued...)
We weren't remotely on course,
Radio's gone (radio's gone)
The radio's gone (radio's gone)
I said the radio's gone. (What if 815 failed?)
(What if 815...)
But I feel so grateful
My limbs are still on.
(Limbs are still on)
(What if 815...)

Locke: That wheelchair stuff was the pits,
And sitting there gave me fits.
It used to make me wish I had never been born.
Woke up this morn,
Paralysis is still gone.
This is the best trip I've ever been on.

Castaways: So what if 815 failed (What if 815...)
And we're not rescued yet? (And we're not rescued...)
We weren't remotely on course,
Radio's gone (radio's gone)
The radio's gone (radio's gone)
I said the radio's gone. (What if 815 failed?)
(What if 815...)
I feel so grateful
My limbs are still on.
