no more ankles


it almost sound like it's cut out and formed from Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. The video does go well with the song.. but i can think of other images that could go with it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr0KkzbbqPI. Quickly edited together images of death and bombs and murder is kind of an obvious solution, placed alongside this almost fairytale like song about orphans running through bloody snow. It's not very subtle or useful, and seems to just respond to the almost mindless punching of the guitar, but there's more to the song than that, how bout those words for a start - "Little Orphans running thru the Bloody Snow, Little Orphans running thru the Bloody Snow, Little Orphans running thru the Blood thru the Blood thru the blood. No more ankles and no more Clothes, Little Orphans running thru the Snow, Little orphans in the Blood in the Blood in the Blood."



and there's more, more to discover both here - http://www.lydia-lunch.org/ - and here
