I made this for [livejournal.com profile] nymeria_55  who expressed a desire to see different interpretations of the same piece of music, and my imagination was captured by Jaidanwolf's awesome What The Frell? crackvid.  I had trouble with the audio, but I think it's the best vid I've done so far, and am very proud of it.  

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] diarmi and [livejournal.com profile] kj_svala for their technical support :-)

My friend has problems with winter and autumn
They give him prescriptions, they shine bright lights on him
They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it
They say you can catch it, but sometimes you're born with it
My friend has blight, he gets shakes in the night
And they say that there's no way that they could have caught it in
Time takes his toll on him
It is traditional, it is inherited, predisposition

All day I've been wondering what is inside of me
Who can I blame for it? I say it runs in the family
This famine that carries me to such great lengths
To open my legs up to anyone who'll have me
It runs in the family, I come by it honestly
Do what you want 'cause who knows
It might fill me up

My friend's depressed, she's a wreck, she's a mess
They've done all sorts of tests and they guess
It has something to do with her
Grandmother's, grandfather's, grandmother's
Civil war soldiers who badly infected her
My friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies
That she dates back to the 17th century
Somehow she manages in her misery
Strips in the city and shares all her best tricks

With me, well, I'm well, well I mean I'm in hell, well
I still have my health, at least that's what they tell me
If wellness is this, what in hell's name is sickness?
But business is business and business runs in the family
We tend to bruise easily, bad in the blood
I'm telling you 'cause I just want you to know me
Know me and my family, we're wonderful folks
But don't get to close to me 'cause
You might knock me up

Mary, have mercy, now look what I've done
But don't blame me because I can't help where I come from
And running is something that we've always done well
And mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from
Run from the pity, from responsibility
Run from the country and run from the city
I can run from the law, I can run from myself
I can run from my life, I can run into debt
I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone
I can run for the office and run from the cause
I can run using every last ounce of energy

I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family
They're hiding inside of me, corpses on ice
Come in if you like but just don't tell my family
They'd never forgive me, they'd say that I'm crazy
But they would say anything
If it would shut me up
