this is the official video to DIPLOMAT from MANIFESTO PART 2: We Are All In The Gutter’
so that’s the 4 lyric videos from the first EP MANIFESTO PART 1:’ How To Fucking Rule At Life’ which can be downloaded for free from my website www.itchsmixes.com
my 2nd EP MANIFESTO PART 2: ‘We Are All In The Gutter’ can also be downloaded from www.itchsmixes.com the 4 lyric videos for these tracks will be released consecutively over the coming months.
4th video was BRUISES feat Tim Armstrong. i love rats, i’ve kept them all my life and feel a strange affiliation towards them. i got to play with a load of rats who were all really friendly and they had a great time running round eating the food and climbing on everything. this was an important song to me because Tim Armstrong is a genuine hero of mine.
3rd lyric video was for TRUE. this was my favourite one to make and probably my favourite of the videos for EP 1. Smashing stuff rules
the 2nd video was for SPOOKY KIDS. we shot it from 2 angles, one with me sat on the chair with someone else with their head in the table, then we swapped. this reminds me of The Adams Family which i used to love
the first lyric video out of 8 shot for the 2 MANIFESTO EP’s. We did 8 videos in 2 days in Hollywood with The Uprising. They were crazy organised, like Japanese organised. A tiring but great couple of days where one hour I’m covered in rats, the next i’m smashing tv’s followed by jumping in a car or spinning on the street.
we who are the spirits of the revolution
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who are coming to understand more of the horrors
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who are indelibly bourgouise and refuse to do so are increasingly aware
we who are unleashing powers move toward life
we who experience tragedy in the unending cycles of destruction
we who gamble with our lives
we who believe in the flowering of freedom
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who are thirsty for greater knowledge
we who walk the night this side of desperation
we who are thirsty and looking for better ways to perceive
we who tremble then proceed
we who are wise enough to continue learning
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who find brothers and sisters in the struggling peoples of this earth
we who are coming to understand more of the mysteries
we who are coming to see more of the reality
we who have met the beast within ourselves
we who are able to go beyond our anger
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who are able to go beyond our art
we who are not content to admit dispare
we who care, we who burn, we who struggle
with the knowledge that the path is long
we who’s radiance is a wonder in life
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who’s anger cannot be conquered
we who’s love cannot be bound
we who are singers of the new morning
we whose tears are free to flow
we who are coming to understand more of the horrors
we will not fit in and we will not give in
we who are indelibly bourgouise and refuse to do so are increasingly aware
we who are unleashing powers withing ourself move toward life
we who experience tragedy in the unending cycles of destruction
we who gamble with our lives
