Lyrics & Ideas

Lyrics: black
Ideas: red

30 second intro -
Show the scenery and the performers face. Also shots of the girl telling the narrative walking around London or coming out of the train station.
Shot idea: - have the girl drop a necklace that her boyfriend gave her into a fountain or bin.



Oh no, the pennies dropped.
How did my focus stop?
I never let desire lead me blind.
I can't get enough.
Here we could have the performer in front of a graffiti wall or on a bridge, simply singing.


Oh no, the force is strong.
You know ya done me wrong.
I never let a feeling lead my mind.
I gotta rise above.

Close up of eyes and tears running down face, showing that she has been hurt.
The lyric 'rise above' is when she begins to realise she needs to get over her ex-boyfriend. Here we will start to show her having fun. Maybe in a shop or buying something from a weird stool in London, doing something she doesn't normally do.

Don't need to fret.
Cause if I was to take you home,
What's left when the danger's gone?
I never let a feeling lead my mind.

More shots of the performer in cool locations.

Would you like to know me better, baby?
Then what you could show me is better, maybe?
Well, I sure don't wanna waste your time.
Sure don't wanna waste your time.

With friends at a site or land mark.

So let me tell ya that I'd be better off without you.

Duck down, the bull is gone.
Slow motion, switch me on.
I never let desire lead me blind.
Won't give up.

Shots again of the lip singer. Could also add an effect of slow motion to go with the lyric.

Freeze frame, I dodged that shot.
The bigger pictures not good enough.
I never let a feeling lead my mind.
I gotta rise above.

Could slow the shot down so it become more of an image, whilst the performer is singing.
Or could show the girl holding an old picture of her and her boyfriend then her ripping it up/throwing it away. 

Don't need to fret.
Cause I would rather be alone.
Than with you in the danger zone.
I never let a feeling lead my mind.

Show her doing something outrageous on her own.

Would you like to know me better, baby?
Then what you could show me is better, maybe?
Well, I sure don't wanna waste your time.
Sure don't wanna waste your time.
So let me tell ya that I'd be better off without you.

Shots of her in a bar interacting with people. Increase pace of shots.

 Better, better, better off without you.
Better, better, better off without you.
Better, better, better off without you.
Better, better, better off without you.

Would you like to know me better, baby?
Then what you could show me is better, maybe?
Well, I sure don't wanna waste your time.
Sure don't wanna waste your time.

So let me tell ya that I'd be better off without you.

Shot idea:
The pace of the song picks up, bringing the song to an end. To show her having lots of fun in a cool  location we could go to Granary square fountains and show her playing around in them, alongside shots of the lip singer.

Fade out 10 seconds


Continue shots of the lip singer in different locations.
