DVD Love Song

Adam:   Are Tripod ready, want to do
 their song-in-an-hour challenge 
this morning?
Scod:   Nah!
Gatesy: Sooo not ready!

Adam:   Well, we'll pad for you for 
about another twenty seconds but 
that's probably
        not much help because you 
can't really play in the background.
 What have we
        set them this morning?
Yon:    Do you want to hear us 
rehearsing again, do you?

Adam:   What have we set them, Wil?
Wil:    Well, basically we asked for
 a love song - two people in a bit 
of a love song, with a third     
person interrupting said love song.
Adam:   Okay...
Wil:    But we didn't put any more 
boundaries on it than that. Whatever
 you want to take that with.
Adam:   Two people trying to crack 
onto each other while someone else 
just gets in the way.
        And then at the last second,
 (well, a little bit a while ago), 
we threw in a bit of
        a curve ball, and that was?
Wil:    That there should be a DVD 
feature in the song. You know, it 
could be a voiceover,
        it could be a little 
documentary, but a DVD feature of 
some kind.
Adam:   Added extras. Take it away, 
Tripod - the DVD version of the love
 song!

Gatesy: Six years we've been 
             Dsus2
together now,
       A           E        
Yon:    Just three larrikins, 
            Dsus2
knocking about.
       F#m                       E
Scod:   Remember when we broke into 
the police station,
            A                      
        And tried to steal all the 
D
cops?
                   F#m
G & S:  That was a bad idea,
                      E
        But we were naive.

Yon:    Come on, it wasn't that bad 
            A
an idea! I reckon it would have 
worked
                E               
        if we'd all worn the cat 
                A
suits and done cartwheels to avoid 
the lasers.
Gatesy: Yeah, thanks.

       A                E         
G & S:  I thought those times 
        Dsus2
would never change,

Yon:    I thought that we'd be 
 E                           Dsus2
shooting fruit launchers forever.
      F#m                   E     
G & S:  But now we've grown older 
               A                  
and we're more comfortable in our 
D
skin,


Yon:    Urgh!
      F#m            E      
G & S:  All kinds of grown-up 
                 A               D
feelings start slowly creeping in.


Yon:    You know, I've got hair on 
my shoulders now. Do you guys have 
that?
Gatesy: Thanks. Shut up!
Scod:   Yon!
              D
Gatesy: Every day...
                          C        
Scod:   Every day without you seems
              A
 a little bit colder,
              D
        Every day...
                               C   
Gatesy: But when I think about you 
                 A
I'm a little bit bolder.
      F#m         D*               E

sure)
G & S:  Maybe the time has come to 
run away...

Yon:    Where are we going?
      A         E                
Scod:   I can't stop thinking of 
D
you,
Yon:    Thanks!
Scod:   Not you!
      A                 E         
Gatesy: There ain't no nothing we 
                      D
can't love each other through.
Yon:   \"Ain't no nothing we 
can't\"... that's a quadruple 
negative, well done!
      F#m                     
G & S:  So late at night, when 
 E
heaven explodes,
               A               D
        And volcanoes start to burn.
Yon:    Meatloaf
      F#m             E
G & S:  I realise the naked truth,
                      A            
        That it's for you for whom 
  D
I yearn.
           F#m                 E    
    (Stop)
Scod:   Oh Gatesy, will you be mine?
                      A    Asus4
Gatesy: Scoddy, yes I will!


        A  Asus4  D  Dsus4 (played 
during spoken \"DVD Extra - 
Directors Comments\")
Yon:    Ah, you're listening to 
Simon Hall, the director of this 
piece.
Gatesy: This is Gatesy, I performed 
in it.
Yon:    This is the scene where, ah,
 Gatesy lowers himself down, 
upside-down
        in the rain...
Gatesy: It was raining at the time, 
wasn't it?
Yon:    It was raining, and kisses 
Scod. And it was very difficult 
because he
        had to pull his mask off...
Gatesy: Ohhh!
Yon:    And once the mask came 
off...
Gatesy: Full of water!
Yon:    (Makes nasal noses) That's 
the rain, it went up his nose!
Gatesy: And Scod's glasses were 
fogging up...
Yon:    Yeah, I remember we had to 
do fifty takes or so of that...
Gatesy: But it was funny - we 
laughed.
Yon:    The bit you're watching now 
is, ah, is Scod standing on top of 
the
        Eiffel Tower in a bikini, 
but we felt that this didn't further
 the
        story so it was removed from
 the final cut.
Gatesy: Yeah, we deleted it.

Scod:   Every day...

G & S:  Every day without you seems
              A
 a little bit colder.
Yon:    Are there any duos out there
 that need a third person?
              D
Gatesy: Every day...
                           C       
G & S:  When I think about you I'm 
             A
a little bit bolder.
Yon:    I don't play the guitar but 
people tell me I look funny.

Ga & S:  Maybe the time has come to 
run away...

        (Silence)

Yon:    Fellas? Fellas? They've 
gone!
                    A(let ring)
G & S:  To run away!
Yon:    Oh no, still there.
