Nur Ein IX - Videoland

[iVeg]

[Nein]

Brains - coming out of his ears - leaking onto a red tile floor - in Pakistan
Legs - tattooed ribbons of black - stalking to the attack - she was a man

Sorry for the confusion - it was all a planned illusion - with a laugh track - and a backbeat

Videoland [x4]

Breasts - gazing into the headlights - like something out of the twilight - to sell a car
Lips - puckered, supple and red - laugh at something she said - or start a war

Nick Soma - Videoland (Nein entry)

The Gamer's family:

A terrible shame, now that he's always
Playing those games, those video games
He don't come around much anymore
He's locked in his room, he's been there for days
Always just playin' those video games
And a sign saying "Keep Out" is taped to his door
He's off to Videoland...

(epic instrumental part)

------------------------------

The Gamer:

Always watchin' out for a power up
No time for having a shower,
I stink like a piece of rotten cheddar
Covered in manure, that's OK
I'm in Videoland

I don't go out of my room and I don't
Plan on doing so anytime soon
I've got far more important stuff to do
You wouldn't understand that,
I'm off to Videoland...

They fire Bullet Bills from a cannon, while I
Shoot silver arrows at Ganon
Who tells me that after having dropped
"Dorf" from his name he's faster and stronger
Than ever before

My sister is trying to trick me into
Returning to real life, she's made a cake
On a silver plate she is trying to serve it to me,
I tell her that cake is a lie

I'm off to Videoland!
I'm off to Videoland!
Video! Video! Videoland!
Video! Video! Videoland!

I'm passing through oceans and forests
I walk through a wasteland where there ain't no light
I'm searching for tokens, they sometimes
Are hidden too well even for my sharp eyes
I'm perfectly fine, I'm not out of my mind, no
I do not demand any helping hand
I'm in Videoland

Videoland

By The Tydon Docks and George Frideric Handel
- with excerpts from Handel's "Messiah" by the Sydney Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sydney Philharmonia and Motet Symphotic Choirs

Well, I met a little lady out last last night
As will happen to men in my position
She was sympathetic, photogenic
So I put to her a proposition, I said:

Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video

My bedroom's a videoland
I'm the King of the Handycam
My bedroom's a videoland
More action than Jean-Claude Van Damme

For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth

I'm the Scorsese
Of the sleazy
The Tarantino
Of the home-made porno
I shoot a wet twat
Like Riddely Scott
Film a boner
Like Oliver Stone
Speilberg did "ET"
But I do "Eat Me"
Take off your pant-skis
I am Roman Polanski
I film a boudoir
Like Kurasawa
Got no more rhymes
So I'll say "Alfred HitchCOCK"

Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video

Video, video, video, video, video, video, videoland
Video, video, video, video, video, video, videoland

Let's go for the money-shot
Ahhh
Let's go for the money-shot
Ahhh
Let's go for the money-shot
Ahhh
Let's go for the money-shot
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh

HALLELUJA
HALLELUJA
HALLELUJA
HALLELUJA

Yeah baby that's the money-shot

Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
Video, video, video, video, video, video, videoland
My bedroom's a videoland
HALLELUJA
I'm the King of the Handycam
My bedroom's a videoland
HALLELUJA
More action than Jean-Claude Van Damme
Come on back to my place baby, i'm gonna make us a video
HALLELUJA
Video, video, video, video, video, video, videoland
HALLELUJA

A dream
that only exists on a screen
watch it play out by the scene

neon sun with cathode rays
Pixelated stars shine
Scroll as far as the eye can see
through this videoland.

A place
where music repeats on a loop
Start over again when it suits you

This where the universe circles back around
Where everything there is to be seen can be found

A dream
that only exists on a screen
where life is anything but routine

[BenKrieger]

FOR MONDO KIM'S

When I pick you up a movie show
Let me tell you where I always go
A block away from work by the hot dog stand
There's a little purple shop: Videoland

They have animation fantasies
They have scary movies just for me
They have all the latest music and old time bands
I get everything for Christmas at Videoland


The clock strikes 12
The gates go down
the sun comes up
It won't be around
And I'm never, ever going to walk back that way
I don't wanna know what they built to replace my
Videoland

When I say I leave for work, it's true
But I leave early by an hour or two
I get Chinatown dumplings, it's my secret plan
And I always spend an while in Videoland
I grab couple things I want to buy
And then the television grabs my eye
It's a thriller or Godzilla, or old Van Damme
And I fritter 'way the minutes at Videoland


The clock strikes 12
The gates go down
the sun comes up
It won't be around
And I'm never, ever going to walk back that way
I don't wanna know what they built to replace it
Seeing something new in my mind might erase my Videoland

City lights, they're sucking the stars right out of the sky
Memories, block by block, before my eyes
Gates go down
Gates go down
Gates go down
Let me tell you about a place I used to go: Videoland

[Lunkhead]

Videoland
by Merisan

Intro/verse has a modified sample of the opening few measures of "Clare de Lune"

I know there’s nothing behind
your darkened windows
but there was a life
open every night

I would spend hours with you
just wandering through
now there’s dusty shelves
and empty carousels

Oh my heart breaks every time I pass by
the old ways and our good times have died

No more Saturday nights down at Videoland
We all stay at home now watching on demand
Our laptop tells us what we want and we all buy the brand
It happened all too fast for me and I miss you

You were my favorite escape
for so many years
walls of story lines
read like valentines

the thrill I felt in your aisles
as I would dream
exploring outer-space
solving every case

Oh my heart breaks every time I pass by
the old ways and our good times have died

No more Saturday nights down at Videoland
We all stay at home now watching on demand
Our laptop tells us what we want and we all buy the brand
It happened all too fast for me and I miss you

Solo

It was so sweet what we had
I’ll never forget
you were so good to me
erasing my late fees

No more Saturday nights down at Videoland
We all stay at home now watching on demand
Our laptop tells us what we want and we all buy the brand
It happened all too fast for me and I miss you
And I miss you
yeah I miss you
Oh I miss you

Videoland by Ross Durand (y en Espanol por Carlo Bruno)

Press record
Aim the camera
Say what yer gonna say, do what you're gonna do
But once it exists,
It never goes way
Everybody sees everything about you
In Videoland

Upload your life
Download the lives of others
Can’t take nothing back, the camera's always on
The past is more than memories
Watch yer back, cause
The camera's always rollin, and nothin's ever gone

Big brother's not the only one watching
Big brother's not the only one watching
Big brother's not the only one watching
Everything you do
Your life is on the tube
In Videoland

Every funeral’s a playback
Every playback is a life
With a screen on every corner, every eye on every screen
There’s nothin’ you ain’t done everybody hasn’t seen

That lady on the street she knows what you did last night
The man behind the wheel of your cab does too
The man who sells the tickets, and watching from the shadows
Knows everything about you, even things you don't want them to

Big brother's not the only one watching
Big brother's not the only one watching
Big brother's not the only one watching
Everything you do
Your life is on the tube
In Videoland

Won’t be long before we all live in Videoland
I’m not so sure we don’t all already live in Videoland

Pulse record
Apunte la cámara
Di lo que vas a decir , hacer lo que se va a hacer
Pero una vez que existe,
Nunca va mucho
Todo el mundo ve todo de ti
En Videoland

Sube tu vida
Descarga la vida de otros
No se puede tomar nada a cambio , la cámara está siempre en
El pasado es más que recuerdos
Cuida tu espalda , ya que
La cámara siempre está filmando , y nada se ha ido

El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
Todo lo que haces
Su vida está en el tubo
En Videoland

Cada funeral es una reproducción
Cada reproducción es una vida
Con una pantalla en cada esquina, y todo ojo en todas las pantallas
No hay nada que no lo ha hecho que todo el mundo no ha visto

Esa señora en la calle que ella sabe lo que hiciste anoche
El hombre detrás del volante de su taxi también lo hace
El hombre que vende los boletos, y observando desde las sombras
Conoce todo acerca de ti , incluso las cosas usted pone no quiere que

El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
El Gran Hermano no es el único que viendo
Todo lo que haces
Su vida está en el tubo
En Videoland

No pasará mucho tiempo antes de que todos vivimos en Videoland
Yo no estoy tan seguro de que no lo hacen todo ya vivimos en Videoland

We can render sunshine without the sun burns
We can make the moonshine without the moon
To get the science sorted we had to change the tune
The virtual Mayan ruins had the Easter Egg of truth

I live to live in videoland
It contains all of my favorite places
If virtual was actual, I’d practically be the man
But instead I rest my head outside of the oasis

You can make a motion without emotions
You can defy death with enough credit
My sense of sense is slipping; I need to get a grip
My mental gymnast is tripping, my motivation flipped

I live to live in videoland
It contains all of my favorite places
If virtual was actual, I’d practically be the man
But instead I rest my head outside of the oasis

So long to all the chaos, my dreams have been deflated
This world that we created leaves me insatiable
I feel the tide is turning, I’m feeling more alone
They don’t even really need me, they have my virtual clones

Goodbye to videoland, I never found what I was chasing
‘cuz virtual is actual, and actually nothing man
I haven’t grown , my mind is blown, my body’s well rested
