Song Break: Arcanine by CCritt93

Arcanine
Adapted from “Heart of Mine” (Caldwell/Scheff/Matkosky)

One day you may
Find discipline that lasts forever and ever
Till then you’ll spend
A lifetime fleeing bonds you’ve severed

You never thought to say goodbye
And we’ll never understand the reasons why

Arcanine
Why do you keep defying
Stop fire-spitting
Who am I kidding
Arcanine
Oh, what’s the use in trying
No one can tame you now

First came fool James
You can’t believe he’s such a lamer trainer
Then see Jenny
She couldn’t make it any plainer

We couldn’t make you toe the line
Now we’ll always be the ones you left behind

Arcanine
Why do you keep defying
Stop fire-spitting
Who am I kidding
Arcanine
Oh, what’s the use in trying
No one can tame you now

And we’ll never understand the reasons why

Arcanine
Why do you keep defying
Stop fire-spitting
Who am I kidding
Arcanine
Oh, what’s the use in trying
No one can tame you now

Oh, Arcanine
Arcanine
Arcanine

Song Break: Arcanine

CCritt93

From 2013.

Adapted from “Heart of Mine” written by Bobby Caldwell, Dennis Matkosky, and Jason Scheff—best remembered as a single for Boz Scaggs in 1988.

My experience in the Pokémon franchise is limited to some early seasons of the anime, and to those better versed it probably shows. The young James, for instance, only had a Growlithe.

The Arcanine hook popped into my head early in the week, but I wanted to make sure that the untrainability angle was plausible. After some Google-fu I elected to run with it.
