Light a big fire: Mr. Twilight (Live in London) - Lyric Video

I always wanted to make a lyric video; I started this one in March 2018 and only got around to finishing it now. "Surveillance" by Light a big fire, is one of my favorite albums and Mr. Twilight is one of my favourite songs of all time; this particular version is their best rendition of the song and has a magical energy about it.

LYRICS:
Mr. Twilight (Live in London)

that’s right, that’s right
yeah some things never change
of course what we are talking about
the more astute of you will realise
is those maniacs you meet on the street
walking up and down handing out leaflets
thinking they’re handing out leaflets
handing out nothing
handing out their hands
wanting you to take their fingers
“excuse me I have too many fingers on my hand”
“I don’t know what to do with it”
“I cannot dial a telephone”
“I cannot write a letter”
“I cannot work the television”
“I am cut off from all communication”
but these people are totally fuckin’ crazy
don’t listen to them
the real people are talking about
the hystorical colourful fanatical fantastical
celebrational tribal gyroscopical musical
ambulatory maledictory taigbatin skinbeating
boom boom big laugh on the drums bellysides
beaters whipping in a frenzy like the thin tails
of blood dogs that scent the hare and sniff the slaughter
that was and will be on the green grassy slopes
palms bloodstripped from the beaters lacerations
and the old victory trundled out
and mashed into the new craw

well he walks up to people
takes them by the hand
holds them up for hours
trys to make them understand
they shrink away from him
back into the light
they say that he’s harmless and I hope that they’re right
‘cos he’s

Mr. Twilight
oh
Mr. Twilight

well I don’t see him very much
I guess I walk on different streets
but everytime I see him
I look down and I say ‘feets
do your stuff this minute
get me out of this place
I don’t want to hear his voice
I don’t want to see his face
‘cos he’s

Mr. Twilight
oh
Mr. Twilight

and he says

guys in sunglasses in the middle of the night
they’re checking out the merchandise
look at the way she walks
hey what are you looking at?
are you looking at me?
yeah well I’m looking at you man
WE ARE ALL UNDER SURVEILLANCE

Mr. Twilight
oh
Mr. Twilight

well I wonder where he’s gone
course I don’t really care
I look under my bed
and I comb through my hair
and I’ll just have to go out
and walk around the streets tonight
and search for the man that they call mister

Twilight
oh
Mr. Twilight

so I walk up to people
take them by the hand
hold them up for hours
try to make them understand
They shrink away from me
and then they say right
we’ll look out for him for ya
Mr. Twilight
they’re calling me
Mr. Twilight
ah but that is not the case
for I am not at all
Mr. Twilight
‘cos my eyes are green

my eyes are green
my eyes are green
my eyes are green
my eyes are green
