Lyrics: Dialogue, Characterisation and Content research

Green Day- Time of Your Life:

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

This song could reflect the characterisation of Billy as this song shows questions that shouldn'tbe answered and it shows orders that possiblyothers havetold him. This can also show content as it contains someone's feelings and luckfor what they have to do which is the same as Billy going to do work for his Father. Dialogue is shown too as it could represent Rory and Marie talking to Billyabout his job.

The song:

Mcfly: End Of The World

I thought I saw somethin' movin'
Eyes in the dark
Under a cloud of confusion
They're gonna tear you apart
I heard that girls are from Venus
And that guys are from Mars
But in the end they all leave us
Once they've destroyed your heart

Looking in your eyes
I can see forever
I heard somebody say
We're being hypnotized
And if it's true then
I really think this could be

The end of the world
(It's the end of the world)
The skies falling down
(The end of the world)
So guys grab the girls
(The end)
And spread the word around

I'd sell my soul to the devil
If I had one to give
The line between good and evil
Is not a safe place to live
I guess that fate drives a needle
She taking me in, oh
But as the clock reaches zero, oh oh

I really think this could be

The end of the world
(It's the end of the world)
The skies falling down
(The end of the world)
So guys grab the girls
(The end)
And spread the word around

Looking in your eyes
I can see forever
I heard somebody say
We're being hypnotized
And if it's true then
I really think this could be

The end of the world
(It's the end of the world)
The skies falling down
(The end of the world)
So guys grab the girls
(The end)
And spread the word around

Oh, this is the end of the world
(It's the end of the world)
The skies falling down
(The end of the world)
So guys grab the girls
(The end)
And spread the word around

This song could represent the secrecy behind Helena and Billy's relationship and the surrounding that they face of War and Death. It also could show the dialogue of the Jews and Billy. The Jews because they believed that their world came to an end because of this torture that the Germans put them through and Billy because his world soon comes to an end at the end of the play and because he witnesses horrfic treatment of the Jews which he does not want to perform himself. It could also show the dialogue of Billy's father as he witnesses what his son has done with Helena.
