PRELIMINARY: Lyrics

This Charming Man lyrics:

Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?

When in this charming car
This charming man

Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger's seat?

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

 

The lyrics have an important relevance to our video as they show the social differences in society. For example, the line 'why pamper life's complexity' demonstrates the idea that there is little need for wealth and that people can live without it. As a result of this, it is important that our video represents these ideas, therefore it means that our actors can't be wearing any fancy clothing and that we have to base our idea around the more important things in life, such as natural beauty of the countryside and things that make individuals happy, for example music. Casting is very important to the video as we need to make it look as though the actor could be the person singing this song otherwise the whole video will look out of place.
