Music Videos

I started making music videos in September 2001, with the initial intention of testing out the capture capabilities of the capture card I had just acquired. I set about creating my first AMV with very little experience of other works in this growing area of animation fandom but enjoying the process I endeavored to find out what other anime music videos were like.

I think at this point I watched Believe and wept :)

Anyway, after creating my first two videos there was a considerable gap where I didn't make anything - but I did review and study many videos by some excellent creators. Then, between easter and summer 2002 I created a number of videos which gained unexpected critical acclaim and, subsequently, numerous awards.

    Lyrics:

    Rippin' my heart was so easy
    so easy
    Launch your assault now
    take it easy

    Raise your weapon
    Raise your weapon
    One word and it's over

    Rippin' through like a missile
    Rippin' through my heart
    Rob me of this love

    Raise your weapon
    Raise your weapon
    and it's over

    Raise your weapon
    You won't feel a thing

    (you won't feel a thing..
    ...for your war)

    Droppin' your bombs now
    on all we built
    How does it feel now
    to watch it burn, burn, burn?

    Raise your weapon
    Raise your weapon
    Raise your weapon
    Raise your weapon

    Lyrics:

    C'mon man

    And with the local DBT news, LL Cool J with a triumphant comeback
    [...]
    but tonite...

    Don't call it a comeback
    I been here for years
    Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
    Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon
    Listen to the bass go BOOM
    Explosion, overpowerin
    Over the competition, I'm towerin
    Wreckin shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you call the cops
    Don't you dare stare, you betta move
    Don't ever compare
    Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
    Competition's payin the price

    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)

    Don't u call this a regular jam
    I'm gonna rock this land
    I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
    And I'm just gettin warm
    Just like Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius
    Watch me bash this beat like a skull
    Cuz u know I had beef wit
    Why do u riff with me, the maniac psycho
    And when I pull out my jammy get ready cuz it might go
    BLAAAAW, how ya like me now?
    The river will not allow
    U to get with, Mr. Smith, dont riff
    Listen to my gear shift
    I'm blastin, outlastin
    Kinda like Shaft, so u could say I'm shaftin
    Old English filled my mind
    And I came up with a funky rhyme

    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)

    Breakdown!!!

    Shotgun blasts are heard
    When I rip and kill, at WILL
    The man of the hour, tower of power, I'll devour
    I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand
    that I'm not your average man
    when I got a jammy in my hand
    DAAAAAM!!!!! Oooooohh!!
    Listen to the way I slaaaaay, your crew
    Damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage
    Destruction, terror, and mayhem
    Pass me a sissy so suckas I'll slay him
    Farmers (What!!!) Farmers (What!!!)
    I'm ready (we're ready!!!)
    I think I'm gonna bomb a town (get down!!)
    Don't u neva, eva, pull my lever
    Cuz I explode
    And my nine is easy to load
    I gotta thank God
    Cuz he gave me the strength to rock
    HARD!! knock you out, mama said knock you out

    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
    Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)

    Got you in a tight place
    Though you're not alone at all
    Been fighting, trying to place a name on what it's called
    Make you feel like a losing streak cause you know
    But you're not involved

    I'm picking up my ass
    Up from off the fence
    Gonna blow a hole in this parade
    It's self defense
    I'm a army got a whole brigade in my two sense

    Lyrics:

    Hello my dear friends!
    Well, here I am on record at last.
    And it feels so wonderful to be here with you on my first album.

    I'm so happy!
    AHA! Happy go lucky me!
    I just go my way,
    living everyday!

    I don't worry!
    Worrying don't agree,
    Things that bother you,
    never bother me!

    Things that bother you,
    never bother me
    I feel happy and fine!
    AHA!
    Living in the sunlight,
    loving in the moonlight
    Having a wonderful time!

    Haven't got a lot,
    I don't need a lot
    Coffee's only a dime
    Living in the sunlight,
    loving in the moonlight,
    having a wonderful time!

    Just take it from me,
    I'm just as free as any daughter.
    I do what I like,
    just what I like,
    and how I love it!

    I'm right here to stay
    When I'm old and gray,
    I'll be right in my prime!
    Living in the sunlight,
    loving in the moonlight,
    having a wonderful time!

    Lyrics:

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in this town
    See me and the boys we don't like it
    So were getting up and going down

    Hiding low looking right to left
    If you see us coming I think it's best
    To move away do you hear what I say
    From under my breath

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Don't you be around

    Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
    Into the city zones
    Don't you dare to try and stop us
    No one could for long

    Searchlight on my trail
    Tonight's the night all systems fail
    Hey you good lookin' female
    Come here!

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Tonight there's gonna trouble
    I'm gonna find myself in
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So woman stay with a friend

    You know it's safer

    Breakout!

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Lyrics:

    Alright, fellas, let's go!

    Oh it's been getting so hard
    Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
    Oh my dreams are getting so strange
    I'd like to tell you everything I see
    Oh, I see a man at the back
    As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
    And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
    'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

    Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
    And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

    Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

    And the man at the back said
    Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
    And the girl in the corner said
    Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
    Ballroom blitz
    Ballroom blitz

    I'm reaching out for something
    Touching nothing's all I ever do
    Oh, I softly call you over
    When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
    Now the man in the back
    Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
    And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
    She could kill you with a wink of her eye

    Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
    And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing

    Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

    And the man at the back said
    Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
    And the girl in the corner said
    Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
    Ballroom blitz

    It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
    It's it's a ballroom blitz,

    Lyrics:

    Tommy used to work on the docks
    Union's been on strike
    He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
    Gina works the diner all day
    Working for her man, she brings home her pay
    For love - for love

    She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
    It doesn't make a difference
    If we make it or not
    We've got each other and that's a lot
    For love - we'll give it a shot

    Ohh We're half way there
    Woah Livin' on a prayer
    Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
    Woah Livin' on a prayer

    Tommy's got his six string in hock
    Now he's holding in what he used
    To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
    Gina dreams of running away
    When she cries in the night
    Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday

    We've got to hold on to what we've got
    'Cause it doesn't make a difference
    If we make it or not
    We've got each other and that's a lot
    For love - we'll give it a shot

    Ohh We're half way there
    Woah Livin' on a prayer
    Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
    Woah Livin' on a prayer
    Livin' on a prayer

    We've got to hold on ready or not
    You live for the fight when thats all that you've got

    Ohh We're half way there
    Woah Livin' on a prayer
    Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
    Woah Livin' on a prayer

    Lyrics:

    You make me feel so young
    You make me feel like spring has sprung
    Every time I see your grin
    I'm such a happy individual

    The moment that you speak
    I want to go and play hide-and-seek
    I want to go and bounce the moon
    Just like a toy balloon

    You and I, are just like a couple of tots
    Running across a meadow
    Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

    You make me feel so young
    You make me feel there are songs to be sung
    Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

    And even when I'm old and gray
    I'm gonna feel the way I do today
    'Cause you make me feel so young

    You make me feel so young
    You make me feel there are songs to be sung
    Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

    And even when I'm old and gray
    I'm gonna feel the way I do today
    'Cause you, you make me feel so young
    You make me feel so young
    You make me feel so young
    Oooo you make me feel so young

    Lyrics:

    May I suggest
    May I suggest to you
    May I suggest this is the best part of your life
    May I suggest
    This time is blessed for you
    This time is blessed and shining almost blinding bright
    Just turn your head
    And you'll begin to see
    The thousand reasons that were just beyond your sight
    The reasons why
    Why I suggest to you
    Why I suggest this is the best part of your life

    There is a world
    That's been addressed to you
    Addressed to you, intended only for your eyes
    A secret world
    Like a treasure chest to you
    Of private scenes and brilliant dreams that mesmerise
    A tender lover's smile
    A tiny baby's hands
    The million stars that fill the turning sky at night
    Oh I suggest
    Oh I suggest to you
    Oh I suggest this is the best part of your life

    There is a hope
    That's been expressed in you
    The hope of seven generations, maybe more
    And this is the faith
    That they invest in you
    It's that you'll do one better than was done before
    Inside you know
    Inside you understand
    Inside you know what's yours to finally set right
    And I suggest
    And I suggest to you
    And I suggest this is the best part of your life

    This is a song
    Comes from the west to you
    Comes from the west, comes from the slowly setting sun
    With a request
    With a request of you
    To see how very short the endless days will run
    And when they're gone
    And when the dark descends
    Oh we'd give anything for one more hour of light

    And I suggest this is the best part of your life

    We shake it...
    We take it..
    with pride
    and show!
    We like it...
    exciting
    and ready
    to go!

    I'm projecting and reflecting desire
    for you to come into my life.
    The rays of this day will outshine them all
    for me and you to get along.

    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.
    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.

    I feel so excited and delighted today
    'cause you decided to be in my life.
    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.

    The show...
    the electric show!

    I get around the world upon your freeways
    it's true when you let it go.
    I get around the world upon your freeways

    Lyrics:

    It started when we were
    little kids free spirits but
    already tormented by our own hands
    given to us by our parents we got together
    and wrote on desks and slept in laundry
    rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through
    whatever cracks we can find minds altered
    we didn't falter in portraying hysterical
    and tragic characters in a smog filled
    universe we loved the dirty city and the
    journeys away from it we had not yet been
    or seen our friends selves chase tails round
    and round in downward spiral leaving trail
    of irretrievable vital life juice behind still
    the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz
    was impenetrable
    and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes
    and everything experimental 'till death was
    upon us in our face mortality and
    lots of things seemed futile then but
    love and music can save us and did while
    the giant grey monster grew more poisoned
    and volatile around us jaws clamping down
    and spewing ugly shit around nothing
    is the same so we keep moving
    we keep moving

    Went off and got some hair cuts
    Lookin' wild & got all drugged up
    Hopped a train into the night
    Got a ride with a transvestite
    Two boys in San Francisco
    Two boys in San Francisco
    Blasted off in a BART bathroom
    Those coppers woke us up
    Motherfuckers woke us up

    Two young brothers on a hover craft
    Telepathics love and belly laughs

    We went to Fairfax High School
    Jumped off buildings into their pools
    We'd sit down and grease at Canters
    Run like hell they can't catch us
    Two boys in London, England
    Two boys in London, England
    Climbing out of hostel windows
    Wearing gear so out but in though
    Come on kid and do the no no

    Two young brothers on a hover craft
    Telepathics, love and belly laughs

    I remember 10 years ago
    In Hollywood we did some good
    and we did some real bad stuff
    but the Butthole Surfers
    said it's better to regret
    Something you did
    than something you didn't do
    yeah, we were young and we
    were looking for the deep kick...
    Seen 'em come seen 'em go

    (and I feel like getting close to you)

    Lyrics:

    [Everything In Its Right Place]
    Everything,
    Everything

    [Planet Telex]
    You can force it but it will not come
    You can taste it but it will not form
    (Chasing you home)
    Everything is broken
    Everyone is broken

    [2+2=5]
    I'll stay home forever
    Where two and two
    Always make a five

    [Instrumental from No Surprises]

    [Optimistic]
    You can try the best you can
    You can try the best you can
    The best you can is good enough
    You can try the best you can
    You can try the best you can
    The best you can is good enough
    The best you can is good enough
    The best you can is good enough...

    [You And Whose Army?]
    We rise tonight, we ride tonight
    We rise tonight, we ride tonight

    [Karma Police]
    This is what you get
    This is what you get
    This is what you get, when you mess with us

    [Knives Out]
    Knives out, catch the mouse
    Squash his head, throw him in the-

    [Creep]
    She's running out again
    (So effin' special)
    She's running out
    She runs (runs!)
    Runs (runs!)
    Runs (run baby, run!)

    Release me, release me
    Cut the kids in half (come on!)
    Cut the kids in half
    Cut the kids in half

    [How To Disappear Completely]
    That there, that's not me
    I go where I please
    I'm not here

    [Instrumental from Just]

    [Fake Plastic Trees]
    She looks like the real thing
    She tastes like the real thing
    My fake plastic girl

    [Nice Dream]
    Nice dream
    (If you think that you're strong enough)
    Nice dream
    (If you think you belong enough)
    Nice dream
    Come on!

    [Paranoid Android]
    That's it, sir! You're leaving
    The crackle of pigskin
    The dust and the screaming
    Them yuppies networking
    The panic, the vomit
    The panic, the vomit
    God loves his children

    Lyrics:

    When I have a brand new hairdo
    With my eyelashes all in curl,
    I float as the clouds on air do,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When men say I'm cute and funny
    And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
    I just lap it up like honey
    I enjoy being a girl!

    I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
    I drool over dresses made of lace,
    I talk on the telephone for hours
    With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!

    I'm strictly a female female
    And my future I hope will be
    In the home of a brave and free male
    Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.

    I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
    I drool over dresses made of lace,
    I talk on the telephone for hours
    With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!

    When I have a brand new hairdo
    With my eyelashes all in curl,
    I float as the clouds on air do,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When someone with eyes that smoulder
    Says he loves ev'ry silken curl
    That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When I hear the compliment'ry whistle
    That greets my bikini by the sea,
    I turn and I glower and I bristle,
    But I happy to know the whistle's meant for me!

    Lyrics:

    There is too much light in this bar
    I can see the black on white of this page beckoning me to scrawl
    an old Devo song on the jukebox
    old Devo? What a paradox!
    A strange, futuristic reminiscence
    but Mongoloid sure takes me back...
    There is too much light in this bar.

    A woman lights a cigarette, pale and dramatic
    Lipstick thick pout
    The waft of smoke sticks needles in my memory
    I used to smoke to be cool, in seventh grade
    when a girl called Amy wore lace up the-
    front and back hip-hugger bellbottoms and a crocheted halter
    Me trying deperately to hide
    my walking-down-the-hall out of control puberty boner
    with a math book
    and now a woman walks by with the EXACT SAME OUTFIT ON
    looking so ever so retro thrift-store hip!
    There is too much light in this bar!

    Too much light, too much vibe, too many haircuts, too much leather,
    too much 'blah blah blah' and drunken shrieks and trendy music
    pumping through the Great Altar of Mumble
    a nauseating Generation X-marks-the-G-spot dating ritual
    and I wonder if either of them have a rubber on them
    God I hope so
    There is too much light in this bar!

    You couldn't cut through the attitude with a syringe
    and I'm just about to start screaming, at the top of my lungs
    "Hey, let's all wear fake paratrooper boots and grass as far down as we possibly can"
    and see who can be the most smoulderingly pissy
    and even though we all share the same epidemic BOREDOM and APATHY
    we still have the GUMPTION to call ourselves
    ALLLLLLLLTERNATIVE!!!

    When suddenly
    Dicko Suave
    Guitar player for The Rockbusters and a serious. hardcore. mother-fucker.
    from way back.
    walks, no wait
    SWAGGERS into the room, like a gunfighter with too many bullets
    and as the jukebox pauses between songs
    he screams
    "I'm here to do heroin and FUCK...
    and I'm all outta heroin."
    He picks the closest, most pretentious person
    who is me, sitting, writing in my sketch book
    grabs me off my barstool and begins to hump
    furiously
    at my leg
    and now I know for sure there is
    WAYYYYYYYY too much light in this bar.

    Lyrics:

    Alice is bored because her sister is reading a book when all of a sudden a white rabbit wearing a vest runs by mumbling something about being late. Not being able to mind her own business, Alice follows the rabbit down into a hole and falls down and down, landing with a thud. Alice finds a bottle that says DRINK ME and she drinks it and gets very very small. She finds a cake that says EAT ME so she eats it and gets very very tall. "Curiouser and curiouser," cries Alice which isn't very good English but it gets the point across. Then Alice starts to shrink again and she falls into a pool of her own tears along with a Mouse, a Duck, a Dodo a a Lory and an Eaglet! After another gruelling round of DRINK ME / EAT ME Alice runs into the woods were she meets a blue caterpillar sitting on a mushroom, puffing on a hookah! "Alice baby, what's happening? Mellow out this is Wonderland!" So Alice chomps on some mushrooms and the Duches sneezes because there's too much pepper in the soup. The Cheshire Cat keep smiling and the world's ugliest baby turns into a squirming pig. Then it's time for tea! The Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Sleepy Dormouse talk in stupid riddles so Alice finds more stimulating conversation in a garden of talking flowers. Next the Queen of Hearts plays crochet with flamingo mallets and hedgehog balls and then Alice takes the stand in the Trial of the Missing Tarts. Alice's testimony so angers the Queen that she shouts "Off with her head!" which is Alice's cue to wake up and face the facts: it was all just a dream and a good thing too because Alice knew nothing of tarts and even less of torts.

    Lyrics:

    September '75 I was 47 inches high
    Mom said by Christmas I would have
    A bad-ass mother G.I. Joe
    For your little minds to blow
    I still got beat up after class

    Now I'm big and important
    One angry dwarf
    Two hundred solemn faces are you
    If you really wanna see me
    Check your papers and the TV
    Look who's telling who what to do
    Kiss my ass good-bye

    Don't give me that bullshit
    You know who I am
    I'm your nightmare, little man
    Vic, you stole my lunch money, made me cry
    Jane, remember second grade?
    Said you couldn't stand my face
    Rather than kiss me
    You said you'd rather die

    Now I'm big and important
    One angry dwarf
    Two hundred solemn faces are you
    If you really wanna see me
    Check your papers and the TV
    Look who's telling who what to do
    Kiss my ass good-bye

    You'll be sorry one day
    Yes you will, yes you will
    You shouldn't push me around
    'Cause I will, yes I will
    You will be sorry when I'm big
    Yes you will be sorry

    Lyrics:

    The words are so familiar-
    All the same greats, the same mistakes
    It doesn't have to be like this
    If you don't make a friend, now
    One might make you-
    So learn
    The gentle art of making enemies

    Don't you look so surprised
    Happy birthday...Fucker
    Blow that candle out,
    We're gonna kick you, kick you

    [Don't say you're not because you are]
    [Don't say you're not because you are]
    [History tells us that you are]
    [History tells us that you are]

    Well all you need is just one more excuse
    [You put up one hell of a fight]
    [You put up one hell of a fight]
    I wanna hear your very best excuse
    [I've never felt this much alive]
    [I've never felt this much alive]

    Your day has finally come -
    So wear the hat and do the dance
    And let the suit keep wearing you
    This year you'll sit and take it
    And you will like it -
    It's the gentle art of making enemies

    I deserve a reward
    Cuz I'm the best fuck that you ever had
    And if I tighten up my hole -
    You may never see the light again
    [There's always an easy way out]
    [There's always an easy way out]
    [You need something wet in your mouth]
    [You need something wet in your mouth]
    Then all you need is just one more excuse
    [You put up one hell of a fight ]
    [You put up one hell of a fight]
    I wanna hear your very best excuse

    Lyrics:

    English Romanji Kanji

    I'm a dreamer... Hidden power...

    My world is made of dreams, love, and worries. But there are still things lying hidden that I can't even imagine

    Facing the sky, like all the different trees, I'm gazing right at you.

    I want to find my dream... I want to make it come true... There is nothing that I can't overcome if I only believe. Just like singing, just like miracles, "feelings" can change everything! Without a doubt... Without a doubt... It's almost surprising!

    I'm a dreamer... Hidden power...

    A world yet unseen... No matter what awaits me there, even if it's not the ideal, I won't be afraid.

    The birds travel on the wind on a journey from today to tomorrow.

    I want to tell you... I want to shout it... I am but one entity in this world. But like a prayer, like a star, even with a small light, someday, I want to be stronger and stronger.

    There are limitless possibilities, right here in my grasp. (It's gonna be your world.)

    I want to find my dream... I want to make it come true... There is nothing that I can't overcome, if I only believe. Just like singing, just like miracles, "feelings" can change everything! Without a doubt... Without a doubt... It's almost surprising!

    Lyrics:

    "Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
    Whispering me away from you
    "Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
    You know that you will always lose
    This trembling
    Adored
    Tousled bird mad girl... "

    Still every night I burn
    Every night I scream your name
    Every night I burn
    Every night the dream's the same
    Every night I burn
    Waiting for my only friend
    Every night I burn
    Waiting for the world to end

    "Just paint your face" the shadows smile
    Slipping me away from you
    "Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
    Find you if we're wanting to
    So slide back down and close your eyes
    Sleep a while
    You must be tired... "
    But every night I burn
    Every night I call your name
    Every night I burn
    Every night I fall again
    Every night I burn
    Scream the animal scream
    Every night I burn
    Dream the crow black dream
    Dream the crow black dream...

    Lyrics:

    OK, I'm riding around in this car with this woman that I'm close to a couple times a week. I'm noticing she's looking out of the window and noticing OTHER WOMEN: how this one looks, "Isn't her hair lovely?", "What a nice outfit!"

    I said, "Babe, what is the DEAL?! You're noticing all these other chicks... maybe... you're a lesbian."

    She looks at me and she says, "I wish I was a lesbian!"

    Now, at that point, I wanted to say, "You mean 'you wish you WERE a lesbian' because, grammatically..." But I let it slide; I didn't wanna ruffle any feathers.

    But, y'know, that sentence, that retort, "I wish I was a lesbian"...kinda stuck in the ol' "Laud-lo"'s mind...kinda gestated there for...seven, eight minutes...AND THIS TUNE POPPED OUT!

    I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero
    I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come-and-go
    And all that awful facial hair and yucky "ma-chis-mo"
    Ooooooo, I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero

    I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight
    I would sleep with women only; man, that would be great
    I could throw away my diaphragm; I wouldn't wanna mate
    Ooooooo, I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight
    HEEEEEEY!

    I wish I was a lesbian; I'd like to be a dyke
    I would hang with k.d. lang; Mel Gibson, take a hike
    I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike
    Ooooooo, I wish I was a lesbian; I'd like to be a dyke

    I wish I was a lesbian; that's why this song is sung
    It shouldn't have to matter how someone is hung
    Other things are more important...LIKE HOW TO USE YOR TOUNGE... blblblblblblblblblbl
    I wish I was a lesbian; that's why this song is sung
    HEEEEEEY!

    (I dare Casey Kasem to play this!)

    I wish I was a lesbian; I know it's sad, but true
    But maybe I might understand you guys and all you do
    But if I was a lesbian, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO
    I wish I was a lesbian; I know it's sad, but true

    Hey, I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero
    I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come-and-go
    And all that awful facial hair and yucky "ma-chis-mo" (I hate that damned machismo!)
    Ooooooo, I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero
    I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero
    I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero!

    Lyrics:

    This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die.
    But it's over
    Just hear this and then I'll go:
    You gave me more to live for,
    More than you'll ever know.

    Well, this is our last embrace,
    Must I dream and always see your face?
    Why can't we overcome this wall?
    Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

    Kiss me, please kiss me,
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
    Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
    I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

    Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
    And did you rush to the phone to call?
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
    "Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
    you didn't know him at all,
    oh, you didn't know"?

    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
    Burning clues into this heart of mine.
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
    Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

    Lyrics:

    It's a god-awful small affair
    To the girl with the mousy hair
    But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
    And her daddy has told her to go
    But her friend is nowhere to be seen
    Now she walks through her sunken dream
    To the seat with the clearest view
    And she's hooked to the silver screen
    But the film is a saddening bore
    For she's lived it ten times or more
    She could spit in the eyes of fools
    As they ask her to focus on

    Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
    It's the freakiest show
    Take a look at the lawman
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
    He's in the best selling show
    Is there life on Mars?

    This video is a character profile of two characters from animations directed by Hideaki Anno done in the style of his post-Nadia work. As such, it's very stylised and not to everyone's taste. Despite being essentially an experimental video, it was very well received and is one of my favourites.

    Sitting on a park bench
    Years away from fighting
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    Standing in the dark
    Oh I was waiting for man to come
    I am beautiful and clean
    And so very very young
    To be standing in the street
    To be taken by someone

    Questions questions
    Give me no answers
    That’s all they ever give me
    Questions questions
    Oh look at the strange boy
    He finds it hard existing
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    While doing various fansubs, I decided to give some visuals to the Evangelion Audio Drama.

    Kare Kano (as it is known) is such fun to make videos with due to the massive amounts of visual comedy. I later remastered this one a tiny tiny bit and added some, not particularly necessary, fancy additions and tweaked the timing a touch. Still a video I enjoy but technically flawed in many ways.

    Lyrics:

    What have we done with innocence
    It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
    Adolescent resident
    Wasting another night on planning my revenge

    One in ten, One in ten, One in ten

    Don't want to be your monkey wrench
    One more indecent accident
    I'd rather leave than suffer this
    I'll never be your monkey wrench

    All this time to make amends
    What do you do when all your enemies are friends
    Now and then I'll try to bend
    Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

    One in ten, One in ten, One in ten

    Don't want to be your monkey wrench
    One more indecent accident
    I'd rather leave than suffer this
    I'll never be your monkey wrench

    One last thing before I quit
    I never wanted any more than I could fit
    Into my head I still remember every single word
    You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
    Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
    Always caged and now I'm free

    Don't want to be your monkey wrench
    One more indecent accident
    I'd rather leave than suffer this
    I'll never be your monkey wrench

    Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
    Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
    Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
    Don't want to be your monkey wrench

    Lyrics:

    At first I see an open wound,
    infected and disastrous.
    It breathes chaotic catastrophe,
    it cries to be renewed.
    (Please Renew Me!)
    Its tears are the colour of anger,
    they dry to form a scab.
    To the touch, its stiff and resilient,
    underneath, the new skin breathes.

    Its all been saved...
    with exception for the right parts.
    When will we be new skin?

    As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
    yes, something under the surface says,
    "C'est la vie."
    It is a circle, there is a plan...
    dead skin will atrophy itself to start again.
    Look closely at the open wound...
    see past what covers the surface
    Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
    creation takes stage.

    Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again.
    Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again.
    Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again.

    Its all been saved...
    with exception for the right parts.
    When will we be new skin?

    Its all been seen...
    with exception for what could be.
    When will we be new skin?

    until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see,
    and hear.
    since the inital publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
    learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear...is less than one
    millionth of reality.

    Fallacious cognitions,
    spewed from televisions,
    do mold our decisions.
    So stop and take a look,
    and you'll see what I see now.

    Its all been saved...
    with exception for the right parts.
    When will we be new skin?

    Its all been seen...
    with exception for what could be.
    When will we be new skin? skin?
