"Greedy Fly" by Bush, off their album "Razorblade Suitcase." This song came on for me today. I had forgotten how much I liked it. It's a reflection of how the lead singer, Gavin Rossdale, felt after being overwhelmed by the sudden success of their previous album "Sixteen Stone," which didn't do well for them domestically, but was huge when it hit North America.

While Gavin was often considered so seductive that he could "Sing the names from a phone book and still make it sound sexy," he tried to take on an acting career. Remember him on "Constantine" across from Keanu Reeves? You can see him trying out his acting chops in the full music video included above. It was directed by Marcus Nispel, who did the remakes of "Friday the 13th" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." If you want to hear the full song, uninterrupted, you'll have to find it yourself, because this music video is extended and made along the lines of the movie "Se7en." It includes a lot of the same elements and even a lot of the same locations. And it's not for the squeamish. Enjoy!

"Greedy Fly" by Bush
-
Do you feel the way you hate?
Do you hate the way you feel?
Always closest to the flame
Ever closer to the blade
Yeah
-
I am poison crazy lush
Built these hands to lift me up
We are servants of our formulaic ways
-
I'm screaming daisies
From fourteen miles away
I've got my own time
Got it all today
-
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind
-
Limbo this and limbo that
You were this and you were that
Ever know that what you fear is what you find
-
This Indian summer
I signed my life away
There's a greedy fly in here
And I fly away
-
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind
-
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind, mind
Mind, mind, mind
-
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, MIND
