Do You Remember The First Time? By Pulp
You say you've got to go home
Cos he's sitting on his own again this evening.
I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again.
Oh God, it's half past eight,
You’ll be late.
You say you've never been sure,
Though it makes good sense for you to live together
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes. Just a bit risqué!
Oh, now it's getting late.
He's so straight.
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time.
But you know that we've changed so much since then, A performance in a club,
Oh yeah, people dancing happily,
We’ve grown. even though the band are
Now I don't care what you're doing, clearly not meaning for the
No I don't care if you screw him. song to be joyous.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
Oh yeah
You say you've got to go home.
Well at least there's someone there that you can talk to.
And you never have to face up to the night on your own.
Jesus, it must be great to be straight.
Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time. Most likely the same as the

people dancing happily, etc.
Now I don't care what you're doing,
No I don't care if you screw him.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
Oh yeah
There is a lot of sexual imagery within
this song, so a performance or
abstract based video is probably most
suitable – doing a narrative with these
lyrics may be too tricky.

Made Of Stone by The Stone Roses
Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
The last thing that your hands will feel
Your final flight can't be delayed
No earth, just sky it's so surreal
Somebody laughing over a dead
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
You fry and melt I love the scene body?
Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Somebody walking through empty
Don't these times fill your eyes
streets “the cars they burn below
When the streets are cold and lonely me” possibly after a disaster or
And the cars they burn below me fighting/rioting perhaps?
Are you all alone
Is anybody home?
I'm standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life in style
And for far as I can see Prison possibly?
Ten twisted grills grin back at me
Bad money dies I love the scene
Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me Same as the above, but possibly
Are you all alone
Is anybody home? with the rest of the band
performing?
Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Are you made of stone?
Most likely performance based.

Some Might Say by Oasis
Some might say
That sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man it cannot shine
Some might say
That we should never ponder on our thoughts today
Cause they hold sway over time
Some might say
That we will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Yeah ah!
Cause I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain Maybe the band could be
You made no preparation performing at a Bus Stop in the
For my reputation once again
Rain, with various bits of imagery
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain showing the later lyrics such as
And it was overflowing gently “your sink is full of dishes”.
But it's all elementary my friend
Some might say
They don't believe in heaven Religious Imagery?
Go and tell to the man who lives in hell
Some might say
You get what you've been given
If you don't get yours in one get mine as well
Cause some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day (in a year)
Yeah-ah
Cause I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain Like above, maybe the band could
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
be performing at a Bus Stop in the
Your sink is full of fishes Rain, with various bits of imagery
She's got dirty dishes on the brain showing the later lyrics.
My dog's been itching
Itching in the kitchen once again
Some might say (some might say)
Some might say (some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say) [x8]

Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers
Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
The band could be performing/practicing
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness in a garage, playing the instruments to
themselves.
Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
The band could be performing to a
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us crowd in a pub or club, showing their
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us progress from the last showing of their
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us performing, which will continue to
grow.
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit
Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
To climax, the band could be performing
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness in front of a larger crowd, on a festival-
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness like stage (i.e. Glastonbury)?
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness
This is another song in which a performance
video may suit it best, though either a
narrative or an abstract may both work also.
There could be a narrative going on between
the performance scenes?

Under The Westway by Blur
There were blue skies in my city today
Lots of imagery of everyday
Ev'rything was sinking
Said snow would come on Sunday happenings within UK – could
The old school was due and the traffic grew have the band performing on a
Upon the Westway backdrop to these scenes?
Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing A scene set on the roadside,
near some road works or
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
building work – lyrics such as
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone ‘men in yellow jackets’ or ‘An
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate automated song’ give off the
Still picking up shortwave imagery for this scene.
Somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull Pub scene featuring the band,
Doing one eighty still standing at last call playing darts, drinking?
When the flags coming down
And the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For the way I feel about you The band performing in the pub
Paradise not lost it's in you itself on the stage to an empty
On a permanent basis I apologize room?
But I am going to sing
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you “Am I lost out at sea?” - This scene
Am I lost out at sea? could be set on a beach, with the
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
singer, a lone figure.
The video could be a possible mixture of
performance and narrative, with it being a majority
performance based video.
This video features a lot of imagery that relates to
everyday life in the UK, mainly near a ‘Westway’.
Due to Blur being from London, it is most likely
referring to the one in the capital.
