The Fear, by Pulp

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I made this video for one of my favourite songs, using still photos. 54 of the pictures are mine, 26 (most of which are used in the quick montage near the end) are not.
The zooming is rather jagged when I watch this online, but I swear it's smooth on the original video I made!

lyrics:
This is our "Music from A Bachelor's Den"
The sound of loneliness turned up to ten
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed
And it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot
Making out that they're okay when they're not
You're gonna like it
But not a lot
And the chorus goes like this:

Oh baby
Here comes the fear again
The end is near again
A monkey's built a house on your back
You can't get anyone to come in the sack
And here comes another panic attack
Oh here we go again

So now you know the words to our song
Pretty soon you'll all be singing along
When you're sad, when you're lonely
And it all turns out wrong
When you've got the fear
And when you're no longer searching
For beauty or love
Just some kind of life
With the edges taken off
When you can't even define what it is that you're frightened of
This song will be here

Oh baby
Here comes the fear gain
The end is near again
If you ever get that chimp off your back
If you ever find the thing that you lack
But you know you're only having a laugh
And here we go again
Until the end

Here is a chronological breakdown of which photos are mine, and which are not:

me:
railway signal
spiky fence
tricycle
wheelchair/stairs
poster of face with open mouth
city buildings and sculpture
stacked styrofoam boxes
statue of man about to leap
skewed sunset
loudspeakers
asphalt road
black door in brick wall
scary tree
cement enclosure
amusement park ride
dark, humid tunnel
statue of angel and mailman
sun and clouds
rusty UNION
skewed old buildings
bridge
foreboding pole
giant pilons
under pilon
water tower
side of brick building with vents
blurred figures
fence with out of focus background
blackened cement
foggy road
electric poles on hill
old wooden sign
rocks and poles in water
rusty 529
shadow on cement building
top of tank with ladder
close-up low angle of brick building
shell of abandoned building
rusty metal stairs
ProGreen crane
time-worn building wall
clean sink
abandoned equipment

boarded-up train windows
b&w building
branches and fence
dirty water and bridge
streetlight against clouds

@EddyAikau1 Thanks, that's high praise! I can't take credit for all the pictures, but I took most of them up to the 4:50 mark.
