So there’s a song by Vixy & Tony<\/a> called “Thirteen.” It’s on their Bandcamp page here<\/a>, and there’s cellphone video of a live performance here<\/a>, at nwcMUSIC 2012.<\/p>\n

And I realised a while ago that this is the same number as canonical Doctors – not now, but possible. 12 regenerations, 13 doctors Who. But nothing ever really came of that, until this popped out of my head. And I want to get it posted before we know anything about a 12th doctor, because parts of this kind of play off not having one, and rumours are floating about, so now is the goddamn time<\/em>, apparently. XD<\/p>\n

Thirteen
\n(Music Vixy & Tony 2008, Lyrics me, um, a couple of weeks ago. March 2013. Creative Commons 3.0\/noncommercial use-derivative works allowed-attribute.)<\/small><\/p>\n

Well I went for a walk on a rocky beach with a storm-tossed sea and a sky of grey
\nSaw a big blue box with a funny man, he called, “come with me, child, and fly away”
\nSaid “count by the minutes and count by the hours, we’ll see the future that you never knew”
\n“But the path’s all covered with the blood of strangers, Raggedy Man there’s too many of you”<\/p>\n

One and one and one and two and three
\nTimelord, won’t you take pity on me
\nOriginal show only counted to Seven, so
\ntell me what do you mean?
\nThirteen \/ Thirteen \/ Thirteen \/ Thirteen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Timelord tell me all your stories, timelord tell me I can play
\nI never believed you could come up empty, I never knew nothing never went your way
\nReborn twelve times ’round this console, set back up until they shut you down
\nNemeses come in gold and silver, but someday the Valeyard’s gonna steal your crown<\/p>\n

One and one and one and two and three
\nTimelord, don’t you take pity on me
\nOriginal show never counted on Seven
\nTell me what could you mean?
\nThirteen \/ Thirteen \/ Thirteen \/ Thirteen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Timelord tell me where you goin’ \/ Timelord tell me where you been?
\nEight went and died on the stroke of midnight, Nine was the soldier who did him in
\nTen went too far in a TARDIS, twelve’s still the man who can never sin
\nBut thirteen’s a wrap and thirteen’s a final and thirteen’s the doctor who can never win<\/p>\n

One and one and one and two and three
\nTimelord, won’t you get clever for me?
\nOriginal show only made it to Seven, so
\nwhat’ll be your last scene?
