The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)

by Cherv73@aol.com

Three notes:
-This dosen't follow the normal lyric-by-lyric pattern due to the way the
song just flows
-This idea has a lot of holes in it, and not every idea makes sense.
-In retrospect, this idea would never come to fruition, but every time I hear
the song and start signing it to myself, this is what I see in my mind...

The majority of the song takes place on (you guessed it) an aeroplane.  For
no special reason, Billy and James are piloting the ship, mainly because they
are the main singers.  (Yeah, D'arcy does sing, but not as much as James)
 They're flying over the vast ocean (there is an island below, representing
"Porcelina's Island"), and Billy gets on the PA system and does the "I really
don't want to look stupid..." part, even though Billy and the voice that does
it don't sound a bit alike.

The two main divisions of the song are classified accordingly:
The speaking parts are things the "pilot" actually says out loud to the
people on the aeroplane
The singing parts are things going on inside the "pilot's" mind, which would
be represented by a shot of said pilot staring blankly into the ocean

The during the span of the video, you can see the standard happenings of your
average aeroplane flight...attendantes move up and down, give people pillows,
people work on laptop computers, etc etc...these passenger and pilot shots
alternate until you get to the solo.

When the solo starts, a riot beraks out on the plane...people start fighting
left and right...chairs go flying, people punching other people, carts
tipping, etc etc.

When the solo ends and Billy picks up with the "Wishing you were real to me"
set of lines, you see him sweating, getting nervous, etc and he just turns
off the engines to allow the plane to crash in the water.  Specifically, the
engines go off, which causes the lights in the fusilage (where the people
are) to go out, which in turn ceases the riot.  Then up comes Billy over the
PA and does the "And in the heart I know you're there," which is,
incidentally, done in blackness with an occasional light from the windows
making its way though.

After he finishes up with the "I know you don't," the plane plunges into the
water.
