Oliver Paul, twenty years old |
| [00:03.45] |
Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald |
| [00:06.94] |
Wakes up at quarter past nine |
| [00:10.74] |
Fair evades his way down the 96 tram line |
| [00:14.58] |
Breakfast on the run again, he's well aware |
| [00:17.72] |
He's dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere |
| [00:24.66] |
Feeling sick at the sight of his computer |
| [00:32.39] |
He dodges his way through the Swanston commuters |
| [00:36.24] |
Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man |
| [00:40.12] |
Sleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he screams |
| [00:44.11] |
"I'm not going to work today |
| [00:46.55] |
Going to count the minutes that the trains run late |
| [00:50.34] |
Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans" |
| [00:56.83] |
Headphone wielding to the Nicholas building |
| [01:05.11] |
He trips on a pothole that's not been filled in |
| [01:08.84] |
He waits for an elevator, one to nine |
| [01:12.29] |
A lady walks in and waits by his side |
| [01:15.78] |
Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin |
| [01:19.72] |
Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton |
| [01:23.56] |
Vickers perfume on her breath |
| [01:26.50] |
A tortoise shell necklace between her breasts |
| [01:30.19] |
She looks him up and down with a botox frown |
| [01:34.28] |
He's well used to that look by now |
| [01:37.23] |
The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in |
| [01:41.27] |
Their fingers touch on the rooftop button |
| [01:44.67] |
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof |
| [01:48.33] |
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth |
| [01:52.37] |
I'd give anything to have skin like you |
| [01:56.81] |
He said "I think you're projecting the way that you're feeling |
| [02:03.10] |
I'm not suicidal, just idling insignificantly |
| [02:07.49] |
I come up here for perception and clarity |
| [02:10.53] |
I like to imagine I'm playing SimCity |
| [02:13.87] |
All the people look like ants from up here |
| [02:16.66] |
And the wind's the only traffic you can hear" |
| [02:21.10] |
He said "All I ever wanted to be |
| [02:23.64] |
Was an elevator operator, can you help me please?" |
| [02:28.83] |
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof |
| [02:32.83] |
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth |
| [02:36.66] |
I'd give anything to have skin like you |
| [02:41.46] |
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof |
| [02:47.13] |
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth |
| [02:51.37] |
I'd give anything to have skin like you |
