"Bring it on down"
The song I have chosen to use for my video is "Bring it on down" by Oasis, This song is from the bands first album "Defiantly Maybe" which tells the story of being a member of the working class. "Bring it on down" carries on the albums trend of working class anthems with lyrics such as "You're the outcast, you're the underclass, but you don't care, because you're living fast" this line to me is referring to being jobless in a harsh economy and living off the welfare state, maybe committing petty crime and simply living for the weekend. The term "Underclass" is a phrase used by sociologist Charles Murray who describes the working class as "Idle thieving bastards" in reference to claiming benefits and having no job, due to this I want my video to feature a performance from the band entwined with a narrative of working class people.

Lyrics
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
Today was just a blur, you gotta head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
You're here on your own who you gonna find to blame?
You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast
You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.
Bring it on down. Bring it down for me
Your head's in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can't breath
You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast
You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight
