    Lyrics:

    Run now quickly doin' my thing
    We're on the case, we like the man for the behaviour
    What you doing over there,
    Come on let's do this, rip the air

    You'll all feel this latest groove
    And then just don't know what to do
    Hey bro, what you got in your hand?
    Man that's amazin', put it away it's gonna
    Go bang, blow my brains, HA
    I'm gonna soak 'em in pain
    With the S.D.X

    So...
    Let's leave a little bit of change
    The tramps can fear us
    Stay boarded up in their special caves
    Just how far are they gonna stay sane
    Cut the drugs, uh!

  2. Colourful, silly, celebration of dance vid.

    First and last time I used 3D models in a vid. This was painful to make and it took a seriously long time too. The result was fun though and at least I can say I've tried making 3D and made something enjoyable.

    Lyrics:

    Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
    All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
    And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky
    Like a tarp thrown all over this
    And the broken umbrellas like dead birds
    And the steam comes out of the grill
    Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...
    And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
    And everyone is behaving like dogs
    And the horses are coming down Violin Road
    And Dutch is dead on his feet
    And all the rooms they smell like diesel
    And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here
    And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway
    And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...
    And no one brings anything small into a bar around here
    They all started out with bad directions
    And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear
    One for every year he's away, she said
    Such a crumbling beauty, ah
    There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix
    She has that razor sadness that only gets worse
    With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by
    And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet
    til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin
    And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...
    And I've seen it all, I've seen it all
    Through the yellow windows of the evening train...

    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?

    Lyrics:

    I have to say that we should finish it now
    Before we weaken 'cause we
    already know this is wrong
    I could give in
    Sometimes I think that I will
    Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
    If my reluctance seems a surprise
    It's not 'cause I don't want you
    But I just
    Know I must
    Hesitate
    Because I still have that
    other girl in my head
    I still have that other girl in my head

    There may be ugly rumors
    that I have been lying
    There may be angry tears but
    they're never worth the crying
    That is why
    Sometimes
    I hesitate
    Because I still have that
    other girl in my head
    I still have that other girl in my head
    I still have that other girl in my head

    Lyrics:

    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna feel your body)
    Boys Boys be my boy (Tonight I'm ready honey)
    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna be your lover girl)
    Be my lover boy

    Hot summer time
    Always something on my mind
    A kind of magic in the air
    I'm on the run
    To a sunny paradise
    With crowded beaches everywhere

    I'm just a girl who's looking for some fun
    It's time to get things started
    So common everybody

    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna feel your body)
    Boys Boys be my boy (Tonight I'm ready honey)
    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna be your lover girl)
    Be my lover boy

    Hot summer night
    Always makes me loose control
    It feels like heaven now I'm free

    And all the boys
    If you want to feel the heat
    Just come along and play with me

    I'm just a girl who's looking for some fun
    It's time to get things started
    So common everybody

    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna feel your body)
    Boys Boys be my boy (Tonight I'm ready honey)
    Boys Boys be my boy (I wanna be your lover girl)

    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.

    Lyrics:

    Soldier is turning
    See him through white light
    War upon war
    Heat upon heat
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    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. The translation was readily available on the internet but it was much more fun to watch it the way you would an episode. So using some really rudimentary Photoshop, I made effectively a slide show for the 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?
