Adam: Are Tripod ready, want to do their song-in-an-hour challenge this morning?
Scod: Nah!
Gatesy: Sooo not ready!
Adam: Well, we'll pad for you for about another twenty seconds but that's probably
not much help because you can't really play in the background. What have we
set them this morning?
Yon: Do you want to hear us rehearsing again, do you?
Adam: What have we set them , Wil?
Wil: Well, basically we asked for a love song - two people in a bit of a love song, with a third person interrupting said love song.
Adam: Okay...
Wil: But we didn't put any more boundaries on it than that. Whatever you want to take that with.
Adam: Two people trying to crack onto each other while someone else just gets in the way.
And then at the last second, (well, a little bit a while ago), we threw in a bit of
a curve ball, and that was?
Wil: That there should be a DVD feature in the song. You know, it could be a voiceover,
it could be a little documentary, but a DVD feature of some kind.
Adam: Added extras. Take it away, Tripod - the DVD version of the love song!

Scod: Remember when we broke into the police station,

And tried to steal all the cops?

G & S: That was a bad idea,

But we were naive.

Yon: Come on, it wasn't that bad an idea! I reckon it would have worked

if we'd all worn the cat suits and done cartwheels to avoid the lasers.
Gatesy: Yeah, thanks.

G & S: I thought those times would never change,

Yon: I thought that we'd be shooting fruit launchers forever.

G & S: But now we've grown older and we're more comfortable in our skin,
Yon: Urgh!
F#m E A D
G & S: All kinds of grown-up feelings start slowly creeping in.
Yon: You know, I've got hair on my shoulders now. Do you guys have that?
Gatesy: Thanks. Shut up!
Scod: Yon!

Every day...

Yon: Where are we going?

Scod: I can't stop thinking of you,
Yon: Thanks!
Scod: Not you!

Gatesy: There ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.
Yon: "Ain't no nothing we can't"... that's a quadruple negative, well done!

G & S: So late at night, when heaven explodes,

And volcanoes start to burn.
Yon: Meatloaf

G & S: I realise the naked truth,

That it's for you for whom I yearn.

(played during spoken "DVD Extra - Directors Comments")
Yon: Ah, you're listening to Simon Hall, the director of this piece.
Gatesy: This is Gatesy, I performed in it.
Yon: This is the scene where, ah, Gatesy lowers himself down, upside-down
in the rain...
Gatesy: It was raining at the time, wasn't it?
Yon: It was raining, and kisses Scod. And it was very difficult because he
had to pull his mask off...
Gatesy: Ohhh!
Yon: And once the mask came off...
Gatesy: Full of water!
Yon: (Makes nasal noses) That's the rain, it went up his nose!
Gatesy: And Scod's glasses were fogging up...
Yon: Yeah, I remember we had to do fifty takes or so of that...
Gatesy: But it was funny - we laughed.
Yon: The bit you're watching now is, ah, is Scod standing on top of the
Eiffel Tower in a bikini, but we felt that this didn't further the
story so it was removed from the final cut.
Gatesy: Yeah, we deleted it.

Scod: Every day...

G & S: Every day without you seems a little bit colder.
Yon: Are there any duos out there that need a third person?

Gatesy: Every day...

G & S: When I think about you I'm a little bit bolder.
Yon: I don't play the guitar but people tell me I look funny.

Yon: Fellas? Fellas? They've gone!

G & S: To run away!
Yon: Oh no, still there.
