I'll Cover You by Wilson Jermaine Heredia & Jesse L. Martin
Posted by Jon at Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel) & Jesse L. Martin (Collins)I have wondered how gay Rent (2005) is. So, I forced myself to sit down and watched this depressing musical, which is a contrast of Hairspray or Mamma Mia!. I was eager to see any male leading gay plots of the show. And then, I saw it. Nope. No manly male-to-male gay plots, but a drag queen and a man. Sigh. What a waste of my time.
So, here is the song they both shared -
(Angel)
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you
(Collins)
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there - I'll cover you
(Both)
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - be my life
Just slip me on
I'll be your tenant
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat
(Angel)
You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle
(Collins)
No you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat
(Both)
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
(Collins) (Angel)
So with a thousand
sweet kisses If you're cold
I'll cover you And you're lonely
With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
out and tired With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When your heart has
expired
(Both)
Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you

I'd like to point out that RENT is based of of La Boheme, not Mama Mia or Hairspray. And that it isn't meant to be a 'gay' movie, but to focus on the hardships of living in that time period. And even when looking at it from a point of homosexuality, Angel is still a guy. He just prefers to be referred to is a woman, it doesn't change his 'gayness'
