The Words

The song is 3.27 minutes long.

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and i want fuck loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And i’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars concussing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And its not my fault it’s how I’m programmed to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah we're on to a winner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I’m gettin thinner

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cause I’m being taken over by The Fear

The bold words/sentences are the parts I believe my target audience may be able to relate to.
"I want to be rich and I want lots of money"
Most people, but students in particular want money and lets be honest, to be rich. That is one of the main reasons people get a good education is because they want to get qualifications so they can get a could job with a good pay packet!

The idea of this clippet from Mary Antoinette fits in nicely to this line, and the line stating 'I want loads of clothes and i want fuck loads of dimonds.' I like the idea of the cakes and shoes. Cakes are also used in Lily Allen's video of The Fear as part of her fairy land fantasies.



Bellow I gathered images on the interent of a literal sun and mirror and the media versions, the newspapers. Then using Flickr I created a slideshow and embedded it onto my blog. I want to play with the connotations of these words in my animation, showing two different meanings.
