When Severus Snape and James Potter were at school, they were in competition for much more than Quidditch or academic achievements...

“Lily Evans”
To the tune of The One by Elton John

Teenage Snape:
I saw you laughing by the lakeside
Running fast along the shore
A Muggle-born with beauty and grace
Fire flying from your hair

The instant you fell for someone
I had a first taste of defeat
Reality stubbed my young heart
I realized how love makes weak

The one I ever loved was Lily Evans
My heart beating like wild horses run
There was no chance for you and I
'Cause Potter got in the way
You're all I've ever wanted
Lily, you're the one

At the Quidditch matches we follow
I'd jinx a bludger to Potter's head
I watch you cheer for him in silence
While my jealousy burns like hell

For each one there's someone, they say
But here I am alone and still
I sees no future for my love
I know your heart I'll never reach

The one I ever loved was Lily Evans
My heart beating like wild horses run
There was no chance for you and I
'Cause Potter got in the way
You're all I've ever wanted
Lily, you're the one.
