The Grates - "Aw Yeah"



Damn! The folks from Brissie know what they're doing with their on-location shooting! I freakin' knew this had to be Byron Bay!:
Oh, it was fun, we filmed it in Byron Bay, one of the most beautiful locations in Australia, on a Sunday afternoon. We just always felt like the song was a march for misfits so when we started discussing film clip ideas, filming some kind of a march was at the forefront. We didn’t want it to be The Black parade, obviously, but we also didn’t want it to be a Christian Parade. We got in touch with this tiny but hard working company called Krozm. It was their stroke of genius that helped it become a 'neo-day of the dead' celebration march, me towards my own death, with all of our friends as characters we picked up along the way. That is collectively our favourite film clip.

........

Aw yeah!
Blood is thick and piss is thin, I'm full of one but I'm not sure which.
Aw yeah!
Cast my line and pulled up teeth, sound violins, I wanted a ship.
Aw yeah!
Called the rain and asked her when? She's found love never see her again.
(Love won't last, crying again)
Aw yeah!

People trying to remember how did it go? People trying to forget, and what do you know?
People lost their lust for life, I'm a happening fan. Let's fix our beds together.

Aw yeah!

Lost my feet but I still run, my hands wear my shoes and my face is my butt.
Aw yeah!
Hounds dogs, blood hounds, outta control, a hot dog's soft but it's still got bones.
Aw yeah!
Well I spit on my grave when I sleep with the twins, one's for loving, one eats my sins.
Aw yeah!

People trying to remember, how did it go? People trying to forget, and what do you know?
Time and time I seen the light but I wanna explore. Don't wanna lie in pastures.

I said hey! I got one foot in the grave, yeah one foot in the grave.
