[Intro | Spoken, cheeky British accent] Ladies and gentlemen, a word of advice. Never adopt four detectives. They eat your food, ruin your suits, and bring home a pumpkin with a criminal record. ...I look magnificent, though. [Verse 1 | Bright guitars, bouncy drums] Silver hair and a velvet coat, Fox-green eyes and a cutting quote, Six little earrings, rings that shine, London's finest? Darling, obviously mine. Heir to a title, a sword at his side, A smile that could start a scandal worldwide, He'll charm your auntie, outdress the King, Then trip on his ego while adjusting his ring. [Pre-Chorus | Building harmonies] I've got four beagles running wild, Four little brothers, though they're hardly mild, One sees the future, one questions the past, One summons trouble, one makes it last! [Chorus | Big, catchy boy-band harmonies] I'm the only one, not the best one, Dancing through the fire till the day is done, Raise a glass, let the whole world see, There's a little more to this fox than vanity. Oh, I laugh too loud, and I love too much, Hide a tender heart behind a velvet touch, If the stars go dark and the night turns cold, I'll stand beside my own till we're grey and old. I'm the only one! (Oh-oh-oh!) And I'm not letting go. [Verse 2 | Playful, dry-witted delivery] Sebastian's sweet, but he needs more sleep, Adrian's glaring at a secret he can't keep, Elias has summoned something in the hall, Alistair's healing while I'm paying for it all. Four brilliant minds and one agency, Solving strange crimes with alarming frequency, I bring the courage, the charm, the flair, And frankly, the best-dressed detective in there. Then Pumpkin rolls in with his terrible grin, A devouring gourd with a vine for a chin, He eyes my dinner, he challenges my reign, I swear that squash is plotting against me again! [Pre-Chorus | Handclaps, rising bass] I've faced down danger, I've ridden through rain, I've crossed swords with men who were perfectly insane, But give me one pumpkin with something to prove, And suddenly I'm fighting for my place in the produce aisle! [Chorus | Full band, soaring harmonies] I'm the only one, not the best one, Dancing through the fire till the day is done, Raise a glass, let the whole world see, There's a little more to this fox than vanity. Oh, I laugh too loud, and I love too much, Hide a tender heart behind a velvet touch, If the stars go dark and the night turns cold, I'll stand beside my own till we're grey and old. I'm the only one! (Oh-oh-oh!) And I'm not letting go. [Bridge | Music drops to piano, soft strings, intimate vocal] And if the laughter fades away, If I have nothing clever left to say, Would you stay when the lights burn low, When there's nowhere left for this show to go? I don't need a crown, don't need applause, Don't need the world to know my cause, Just someone wise enough to see The frightened fool beneath the finery. Someone strong, with a fire of their own, Who'll challenge my pride and still feel like home, Someone bright, who won't ask me to hide, Who'll walk beside me, never trailing behind. And if you choose to take your own road, I'll learn to trust you, not carry the load, For love isn't a chain, and hearts aren't a prize, It's choosing each other with open eyes. [Final Chorus | Explosive drums, layered harmonies] I'm the only one, not the best one, Still standing with my heart wide open, Raise a glass, let the whole world see, All this foolishness is part of me. Oh, I laugh too loud, and I love too much, I've got four little brothers and a pumpkin to clutch, And if the stars go dark and the night turns cold, I'll stand beside my own till we're grey and old. Through every mystery, every wrong turn, Through every hard lesson we have to learn, Let the whole world break, let the heavens unfold, I've got my family, and I've got my soul. [Outro | Guitar rings out, harmonies soften] The only one, not the best one... Four little beagles, a gourd from hell... And someone I'd follow, Not because I must, But because I trust. ...Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a pumpkin to prosecute.
