Which way to go by Grifters [UK] lyrics


 Which Way To Go by Grifters [UK].
Instrumental

Why would i want you back again,
you're a sleazy old girl who i wish was never my friend, 
so leave me alone get on your bus cause' you'll be late for tea, 
well good riddance to you cause' it's the end of you and me.
Cause' i don't want you back so stop calling me on the phone, 
i gave you a chance you missed so leave me alone, you broke my heart so now i just don't know, 
because of you i don't know which way to go.

Instrumental

Well i wish you just get out of my stupid life,
you caused enough trouble now your just a bundle of strife, 
you mean nothing to me why are you living a lie,
you messed me up so you should be fine.
Cause' I don't want you back so stop calling me on the
phone,
I gave you a chance you missed so leave me alone,
You broke my heart so now I just don't know,
because of you I don't know which way to go

Instrumental

Analysis of my lyrics.
After reading the lyrics to the song 'which way to go' and listening to the song, it is obvious that the protagonist has broken up with his girlfriend but she wants him back yet he really doesn't want to get back with her.

I believe that because of this narrative I will be able to produce an effective video that will be interesting yet follow the conventions of the genre that the band belong to.

Pitch for Which Way To Go music video

My idea for my music video is to have a narrative running through along side a performance from the band this incorporates both the stereotypical and entertainment side that is expected from a punk genre video.

The video will start with the band performing as the beginning of the song is an instrumental, I will use a variety of different camera shots and angles as this will add movement to an otherwise still scene.

The video will then go on to the narrative portion which is the lead singer having to chose between the his band mates or his girlfriend and overall he chooses his band mates. I am going to show this through when the band are together a lot of happy, laughing and joking scenes; what you expect of a group of lads that are mates. When the lead singer is with his girlfriend I am going to make the scenes awkward and full of arguments.

I also am planning on putting in two small animatics that represent two specific lyric lines. However this may change depending on if they work or not.

Throughout the video as well as the first performance piece I am going to have performance pieces integrated in. This will help the audience of the band become familiar with the band as a whole and not just focus on the lead singer.
