The world of Stainboy - The Girl Who Stares

Original Poems in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: Staring Girl

Staring girl

I once knew a girl
who would just stand there and stare
At anyone or anything,
she seemed not to care.
She’d stare at the ground.
She’d stare at the sky.
She’d stare at you for hours,
and you’d never know why.
But after winning the local staring contest,
she finally gave her eyes
a well deserved rest

The World of Stainboy (2000)

For all Tim Burton’s fan I will post the six episodes of “The World of Stainboy“, a mini series of short flash movies created by Tim Burton in 2000.  Most of the characters that appear in this series are from the book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy, a wonderful book of poems also created and illustrated by Tim. The music are are from his trusted ad inseparable collaborator Danny Elfman.

In the shorts, Stainboy works for the Burbank police, and at the start of each episode he is ordered to investigate and bring in social outcasts. Each of the six episodes is under five minutes in length. The final episode had Stainboy living through a flashback to his early childhood at an orphanage, implying the beginning of a larger storyline, although no further episodes were produced.

List of Episodes

1. “The Girl Who Stares”
2. “The Toxic Boy”
3. “The Bowling Ball”
4. “The Robot Boy”
5. “The Match Girl”
6. “Stainboy’s Day Off”

I will try to post all the episodes soon and link them to this post. I will also add the poem of The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy if present.

I hope you like it!

Lily Allen - The Fear Lyrics and video

It’s Not Me, It’s You

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
Cause everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at The Sun and I’ll look in The Mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m onto a winner

Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I’m being taken over by the fear

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
And that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it’s not my fault it’s how I’m programmed to function
I’ll look at The Sun and I’ll look in The Mirror
I’m on the right track yeah we’re onto a winner

Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I’m being taken over by the fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner

Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I’m being taken over by the fear

I really like this song/video..

This is the final scene of the first season of Skins. I don’t think is possible to see this video inside the UK, for copyright reason, but all the other people can possibly enjoy it.
