Bodies

by glyniscool@hotmail.com

the scratchy (scratchie! sorry, couldn't resist) part at the beginning
would be this old radio thing (think black and white and kind of scratched
up) and it would be playing this old fashioned music at first then change
to the scratchy noise. then when the "music" comes in (i don't know what
else to call it) you see these people walking down the street and at 0:11
they look up at someone who's on a tight rope (this is all balck and white
and scratchy too) and then at 0:14 you see the band in a room playing their
guitars (normal coloring, but drab) and then back to the tight rope at
0:16. at 0:18 you see the people on the street staring and pointing. then
back to the band at 0:20. at 0:22 you see the people again but this time
there's a little girl with a blue baloon (the only color) in the crowd. at
0:24 it's back to the man on the tightrope but he's losing his balance.

"cast the pearls aside"
a lady is in an old fashioned hotel room and is taking off her necklace.
real sad looking and there's color but it's drab.

"of a simple life of need"
people at a table in the hotel and one guy is real drunk (he just happens
to have on the same clothes as the tight rope guy *hint, hint*). keep
thinking old fashioned.

"come into my life"
the lady shuts the drawer in which her necklace is

"forever"
billy sings into the camera in the same room he was in before, then looks
down as he's focusing on his guitar

"the crumbled cities stand as known"
the girl with her balloon is walking downtown (the color is now drab, not
black and white)

"of the sights you have been shown"
upclose of the girls face as she's walking (real sad looking and if you
notice she has on a necklace much like the first lady's)

"of the hurt you call your own"
the lady walks into the dining room where the other people are and where
the drunk person is still very much drunk

"you know, you know"
the man swigs down another glass of wine

during the music you see the band again

"love is suicide"
you see the tight rope from the tight rope guy's point of view (mainly at
his feet) and he's wobbling around a bit

"love is suicide"
the little girl accidentally lets go of her balloon and looks up at it as
it floats away and looks really sad

"love is suicide"
the lady is taking off her necklace again and putting it into her drawer
(from the beginning)

"love is suicide"
back to the dining room, the drunken man drops his cup and it shatters

"the empty bodies stand at rest"
someone at a piano in a bar downtown looks up and stops playing (billy
could do this part)

"casualties of their own flesh"
a family is sitting at home listening to the same radio as the beginning

"afflicted by their dispossession"
a mother and her kids wave goodbye to an old fashioned airplane that's
flying off and at "disposseeeeession" an upclose off the guy in the plane
and he looks kind of concerned and then he flies off into the distance

band again

"but no bodies ever knew"
james in a suit like a hotel owner would wear comes in to the dining room
to settle down all the commotion and the drunk is still going crazy

"nobodys"
the girl is losing her baloon again

"no bodies felt like you"
the drunk storms out of the room

"nobodys"
the girl is crying. right after and as the music slows down. you see the
airplane swerving and out of control.

"love is suicide"
the man is at the tight rope and you're looking at his feet again and he's
really wobbly.

"love is suicide"
the girl is in the crowd and her clothes are blue and the balloon is gone
and she looks very worried. she has the necklace on.

"love is suicide"
the lady taking off her necklace again

"love is"
the drunk is outside and is unsteady and is carrying a rope (a TIGHT rope
at that)

"ohh"
you see the family who had been waving to the airplane all sad and huddling
together and in the distance smoke coming from the plane because it had
crashed.

"now we drive the night"
back to the band. billy is singing with passion.

"to the ironies of peace"
the drunk again, walking with his rope

"you can't help deny forever"
the little girl again, watching the guy on the tight rope and clutching her
necklace.

back to the band during the music part

"the tragedies reside in you"
d'arcy is looking out of a window in a building as the balloon floats away

"the secret sides hide in you"
the first lady is looking through the drawer and can't find her necklace

"the lonely nights divide you in two"
the little girl is pushing through the crowd staring at the tight rope guy

"in two"
the drunk on the top of a building with his rope

"in two"
the camera shifts over (same scene) and focuses on the balloon in the
distance

band again

"all my blisters now revealed"
billy is changing the channels on the radio from the beginning and his ear
is upclose to it

"in the darkness of my dreams"
james is sitting in the corner of a dark room

"in the spaces in between"
d'arcy standing next to a guy (kerry could do this part perhaps) when billy
goes betweeeeeeeeen d'arcy looks over at the guy sheepishly

"us"
old mirror (the same one that would be above the drawer the lady puts her
necklace in) and in the reflection you see old wallpaper and old furniture,
real lonely like

music section, the tight rope is up and the drunk is starting to walk on it

"but no bodies ever knew"
the mirror again except you see the lady looking all over the room for the
necklace

"nobodys"
the little girl notices the balloon way up high

"no bodies felt like you"
the lady is sitting on her bed with her hands over her face

"nobodys"
people start to run forward, shoving the little girl around

"no bodies ever knew"
the plane scene from earlier except the guy is crawling out of some bushes
nearby (so he DIDN'T die...)

"nobodys"
people at the hotel are cleaning up the mess left in the dining room

"no bodies felt like you"
the guy from the plane walks off into the distance

"nobodys"
the little girl is really getting pushed around by the crowd

"love is suicide"
foot view of tight rope guy

"love is suicide"
the lady walks out of her room

"love is suicide"
the girl is holding her necklace and watching the tight rope guy (you can
spot her in the crowd because she's wearing blue

"love is suicide"
you see the necklace sitting on the bed (but the lady already left)

during the long whir (not sure what to call it) sound near the end, you see
the tight rope guy from a distance (same as beginning) and he's losing his
balance and then starts to fall right as the scene changes when the music
gets a bit lower and jimmy gives the drums one more whack and now you see
the radio with the balloon tied to it right before the video ends with a
blackout
