Ugly

by sfrouch@netusa1.net

the whole vid is in black and white
"i don't look in the mirror"
the band is in a dark room and they are in black but their faces are pale
white
"i don't like what i see staring back at me"
billy throws a rock at a mirror and it shatters. each little piece is a
reflection of the angry look on his face
"everything is clearer"
d'arcy's sitting by a fountain staring at her reflection as her tears drip
into the water
"i'll never see what you see"
james is curled up in a corner with his hands covering his face
"its not me"
picture of jimmy
"so beautiful and free"
d'arcy throws flowers off a cliff
"i'll never be what you need"
billy is running out of a house and a girl is standing in the doorway
crying out to him
"can't help it at all"
billy screams this back at the girl
"i was born so beautiful"
happy children running in a yard looking suspiciously like a young version
of the band
"but now i'm ugly"
the band in the same yard but they are their present age and the grass and
trees in the yard are all dead
"and i rot in my skin"
james is walking through a graveyard, throwing flower petals on all the
graves
"as a piece of me dies everyday"
d'arcy is washing her hands frantically until they start to bleed. the
blood shows up as red
"i know i'm nothing"
billy is muttering this to himself as he paces around a room
"i know there's nothing i can say to change"
james is pleading with an unknown figure 
"the judgement in their ways"
people stare disapprovingly with contempt and disgust as the band walks
down a street
"i'll never be what you need"
billy is leaving the girl again
"can't help it at all"
the girl screams it at billy this time
"my love was so beautiful"
he blows her a kiss as he runs away down the street mouthing "i love you"
"but now i'm ugly"
the girl whispers this to herself as she watches him go
"yeah"
quick shots of each member of the band whispering this
"i'm good enough but i don't care,etc"
billy is staring at his reflection in a dark room.  you can see both sides,
him and his reflection equally. he sings the "i'm good enough part" and his
reflection sings "i could go anywhere, somewhere" part
"i don't look in the mirror"
james is painting a mirror black
"i don't like what i see staring back at me"
d'arcy looks in a mirror and sees herself as an old hag
"everything is clearer" 
billy looks into a pool of water and sees jimmy's face
"i'll never see what you see"
billy turns away from jimmy's reflection, crying blood red tears
"and i rot in my skin" 
the band is in the yard again only now they are about 80 years old
"as a piece of me dies everyday"
old james puts flowers on d'arcy and billy's graves
"i know i'm nothing"
quick shots of each member at their normal age looking away from the camera
"because i'm ugly"
billy whispers to the camera with one bloody tear on his face
