Okay. So the idea of this video is about a guy standing halfway down a pier, and a beautiful woman walks past him towards the lighthouse. Half an hour later, she hasn't come back. So he investigates, but she's gone. What? She killed herself. No, she's a mermaid, and she's jumped back into the sea. You see, she got washed up in a fishing net so she's been in the city, and she's been dying to get back to the water, to her friends. Back to where she belongs. That's much better. I know. Okay, so we're playing here and Raphina walks by. - So where do I jump from? - Here. - Aah! - Yeah. How'd that look, lads? Yeah, it looked all right. It's a bit shit. That supposed to look like they're jumping in or something? Yeah. It doesn't.

# Fake deals in the supermarket # # TVs selling what you can't get # # She laughs, "Nowhere is as pretty as this" # # Gray cars crawlin' in the slow lane # # Lost stars waiting for the DART train # # She smiles, turns and blows the city a kiss # # Under the waves I feel her # # Pull my body down... # - Shit. - # Under the waves # - What the hell, Raphina? - # She takes me... # Keep bloody filming! Save me! I can't swim! # I can be miles away # # She calls to me # # This girl is a beautiful sea # # The girl is a beautiful sea. # - What were you thinking? - Did you get it? Yeah, it was great! Ah! Fantastic! Can you really not swim? No. So why'd you do that, then? For our art, Cosmo. You can never do anything by half. Do you understand that?

That's what my dad always used to say. When my ma would be in hospital, in a spell, and it was just the two of us. So I'd get all dressed up to go out with my friends, then he'd make me stay in. And afterwards, he'd say, "I love you too much, is all."

You know, on a clear day, you can actually see the mainland of Britain. Island's only 30 miles from the coast of Wales. Bet you didn't know that. It has to have just rained, no dust in the air. You can just about see it. No way. How do you know stuff like that? My granddad worked on the ships to Holyhead. He used to take me out here. We used to go out in his little boat, fishing. Wow. So I can wave back to you when I'm in London.

So how do you mean you're "happy-sad"? Yeah, how am I supposed to market that? It means we're not pop anymore. We were pop? Listen, I'm happy being anything. I just want to play music. That's fine. Be who you are, Eamon. Well, I don't know who I am. Maybe I'm happy-sad, too. I don't know. What does happy-sad even mean? How can we be both things? It makes no sense. It means that I'm stuck in this shithole full of morons and rapists and bullies, and I'm gonna deal with it, okay? It's just how life is. I'm gonna try and accept it and get on with it and make some art. So how does that affect our music? - Positively. - All right.

So you were right. They're just human beings. I told you that. I was sort of hoping they'd come to my gig at the end of the month. What, you thought they'd just become different people and start noticing what you were doing and what you wanted? They've got their own shit going on. They're not going to your stupid gig. So why is it stupid now? It's not that it's stupid, it's just annoying. - What's wrong with you? - I don't know. I'm in withdrawal! - From what? - I haven't smoked hash in two days, Conor. - Why? - So I can do something with my life. Like what?

Well, so, firstly, we don't want to make a big deal about this, you know. It's something we've thought about a lot. A lot of married couples... Your father and I are splitting up. Thank you. That's great. It was just a matter of time. I'll go get the bags packed. Let me know when we're ready to go. Why don't you sit down, Brendan, for a second? We'll tell you what we're thinking. You see if you agree. A consensus? That's novel. Okay.

It's Thursday. It's 7:00. It's Top of the Pops. Conor, Brendan, come on, it's 7:00! They can't be here tonight, as they are in the USA, so instead we have to go to Rio. It's Duran Duran. Hey, we're working here. So are we. This is my homework, Brendan. I have a really important essay due in the morning. Just because you've given up on your dreams doesn't mean we have to, all right? Can we put the fire on? No. You're gonna love this, man. Yes! Beautiful.

Hey, it's not exactly the Beatles, is it? Oh, you know, will you go outside and start up the time machine there so we can all go back in time - for Dad, Conor. - Well, if this is the future, we're all screwed, aren't we? I mean, look at this guy. He's not even singing live. It's a video, Robert. It's art. Everybody's making them these days. Look at it.
