by Bright Eyes. PLEASE listen to their song. Everyone tends to find it weird. But I love it. Humour me. The video is magical,too. A different way to look at death t'all is.

RIGHT.
I PROMISE I'll buy a new camera, i know it plays up. Also, i had to do a second take half way through because it shut off like a bitch.
And I couldn't bear to take the american accent away.

All my love to all you little beastlings.



We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
we must rip out all the epilogues in the books that we have read
and into the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair
we must stare,we must stare, we must stare

we must take all of the medicines to expensive now to sell
set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
into the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream
we must sing, we must sing, we must sing

while my mother waters plants
my father loads his gun, he says
'death will give us back to God just like the setting sun
is returned to the lonesome ocean'

We must blend into the choir, sing a static with the whole
we must memorise nine numbers and deny we have a soul
and to this endless race for property and privilege to be won
we must run, we must run, we must run

we must hang up in the belfry, where the bats and moonlight laugh
we must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
and in the caverns of tomorrow with just our flash lights and our love
we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

and then we'll get down there to the very bottom of everything and we'll see it

Oh my morning's coming back, the whole worlds waking up
the city bus is swimming past
I'm happy just because:
I've found out I am really no one.

    You are fantastic!

    But I bet you get a lot of kidding about your name?

    How many times a day to you get called

    "Emilia Tonsilitis"? Might as well just

    legally change your name to that!
