Time Images

We sang three cheers for mayhem, three cheers for loss
we found ourselves a silent coast twenty miles across
and our music joined the air
we seemed to catch it unaware

00:08 -
00:20
Establishing shots of beach. Tilt up from ground to focus on two people
walking along cliff tops, walking down onto beach

But us cynics and scoffers wont get very far
and they fell in love inside of a car
and they drove until they ran out of road

00:26 -
00:39
Mid shot of shared look of determination between the two. Close up on
hands emptying plastic bag of toy cars on beach, extreme close up on
toys on sand.
And miles and miles of music stretched ahead
and I know that you fancied yourself an architect
you said well build this ourselves
and we will rest much better in our beds




00:45 -
00:56
pressing play on a portable music player. two people with plastic shovels
begin to dig into sand and make piles. visible lump of sand begins to
form.
The voices lingered in your bulging mind
The recollections grew more undefined
and they merged, make a horrific dirge

01:05 -
01:17
picking books from a shelf, examining titles etc. hots of piles of same
books on beach, next to toy cars. one begins to read book, until the other
pulls them up with a smile.




Two many drinks in too many bars
too many nights without looking at the stars
and we screamed at the sunset
no more than hollow threats



01:24 -
01:34
one person stand on beach holding (empty) beer glass and a mess of fairy
lights. Other person is working with the pile of sand. Argument breaks
out when person working with sand tries to get other to help. One walks
away.
And miles and miles of music stretched ahead
and i know that you fancied yourself an architect
and you said well build it all ourselves
and well rest much better in our beds

sitting on beach away from sand piles, other looks at sea. lots of wide or
long shots of sea and sitting person. other person appears and sits too.
pointing to the sea, he mouths the words from fancied yourself and
architect to rest better in our beds, though does not appear to be
singing. First sitting person smiles.
By our own valition the night began to to groan
and at our own admission it wasnt time to go
and the streets were worn down by our feet
02:06 -
02:18
By now the sun is beginning to set. The fairy lights are on, and lay on the
pile of sand the two were working on, though what the sand is doing is
not clear yet. The two appear to be working hard with the plastic shovels.


But a cynics and scoffers wont get very far
and they fell in love inside of a car
and they drove till they ran out of road
02:24 -
02:36
Close ups of smiling people adding the books, cars, and beer glasses to
the pile of sand. The fairy lights are in some order now. They are talking,
laughing.
and miles and miles of music stretched ahead
and i know that you fancied yourself an architect
you said well build it all ourselves and we will rest
much better in our beds
yeah well build this all ourselves and we will rest
much better in our beds

Camera pulls back to revels a crude but large sand castle. Several shots
focus on the placement of the miscellaneous items. The two look happy
with their work. they laugh, talk and end up dancing around the sand
castle. It is almost entirely dark by the end of the song, though the fairy
lights still glowing bright.
