(Start: 0:41 minutes)
The shot will pan from a close-up of grass swaying in the wind.
There will be a view of the hill on a sunny day then cut to the same
view but on a bad day. The shot will fade into darkness then a
faded shot of the main character sitting looking outwards
becoming focused then slow motion smoking on the hill.
(Next location)
Jonah will be lighting a cigarette then smoking it into the camera as a close up/possibly slow
motion. Jonah will be walking towards the camera wearing normal clean clothes. He will be
still walking the same direction however the camera will viewing from the side
(Drumin: 1:19)
As the drums build up the character will be walking towards the camera this time with blood
stained clothes and an aggressive look on his face then stop and look directly into the
camera.
[Verse 1: Jam Baxter] (1:47 mins)
Shit, I'd best warn everyone
Where'd you get that confetti?
Come sell me some
So we can celebrate the day that our twenty one nail bomb salute
spelta death for the setting sun
Let 'em run
Their brittlefemurs were builtto snap
Too proud to crawl out the thrall of a simpletrap
Prescribea pill for that
Pilfer that bagof jewels
Luminous thieves in the blackness
A pack of fools
With pack mentality
We pack less gravity
Dark auras hover in a hand stretched canopy
Key:
Character 1
Character 2

Whichis whyalthoughthe lyricsare
aggressive atthispointthe pace is
slow andnot erratic.
A strangled menagerie
Landed a job
Landinga lostplanein a land where the fog reigns king
With strange skin ever shrinking
And fifty two eject buttons blinking
Guess that's a win win but wings cost extra
Send your cheques to the pigeon in the blender
[Verse 2: Mr Key] (2:30 mins)
My mother was a princess my father was a king
Spring,summer, autumn and winter to spring
BlackbirdssingingI seeGod in all things
And as the earth spins itends and begins again
My beauty is the simple– a cosmos sprays off a singlestem
Turn men to kings,turn kings to men
In the blink of infinity so think again
What you think? I ain'tsureI ain'tmastered my thoughts
I'm staringatthe stars laughingtryingto ask them for more
Like the universeisn'tenough – nor's infinity drugs
And I swore that I was givingitup
Quantum leap – Ziggy's not watchingme
What'd you mean? What'd you mean son? It's simpleas a crystal
Dynamic systems sinkingthrough the blissful
Thimble full of ink to pour symbols in my ritual
[Verse 3: Ronnie Bosh] (3:16 mins)
I didn't see the mirrorball shatter but there's glass on the dance floor
Saw the lineflatten - asked any lastthoughts
The shards plotpaths to your yard's door
The voice of the artistis quite deep
and the lyricsare quite obscure in
termsof contentsoI decidedtouse

Althoughit’srelativelyupbeatin

In the songthe transitionsbetween
artistsgive a time gap whichIthink
isan opportunitytomake a
transitionwithinthe video.

I like the ideathatthe artist speaks
of a lackof recollectionof what
happenas if theycannotkeepup
withwhatis goingonaround them
so have beenkickedout.
Hard fought sagas you are what you ask for
Pass more shitthrough your system for wisdom
The masked hoards driftin to the distance
Last call for the tricksters and vixens
Mixed with a difference I shiftlikethe pistons
And yes I guess I did something once
And yes yes whatever next dunce is done
They bled red I sever flesh drunk the blood
And left death a step ahead crumblingpunk
It's likefresh leaves turning into red leaves autumn
Dead leaves turning into fresh green portions
Bless these vermin the rest keep falling
Emcee turning kids to next weak orphans
[Verse 4: Dirty Dike] (4:00 mins)
With my eyes black staringatthe white on the page
I try to crystallisemy mind and ignite into flames
The priceof the game – either catch the vibe or the shame
And try and wipe away the silencewhen you're hypingthe stage
I fly into space– rightbeside this guy and his mates
A giantface screamingcry James – die and escape
Try and erasethe bad lies violenceand hate
Try and abidethe bad guy try and behave
Try and replacea man's mind at night with a spade
Try and climb mad high atnight at night in the rain
Try falling –sittingin the water and dry's calling
Committed 9 sins and the fucking pigs caught him
Nothing's this awesome a fucking bigbox full of bloody sick drops that
some other kids taught him
The ideathat puttingdrugsinto

Starter for ten
Who's that parkingthe car in the grey suit?
Last seen parcellingcarcinogens with the top down targeting artforms darker than death
It was 4am when the sky splitsideways –i sawbright steam
Bellow from the skylinecrunching
Life gushed hard on this one-a-penny whitewash
Starved on a monetary timeclock sunken
Callingall workers –report to the docks where the bullets fly
One lastship leaves these shores
Drawn to the furnace – ninehour shifts with the shovel
Pistons and coal heaps
Better lifeparchment – next lifesetting sun – time grows darker
Heaven might sell us somebetter lives after the carnagehas settled
So disarmthe grenades and pass them to everyone
