What are we but our friends?

The fannish5 has asked, what five videos would you make if you had the talent.

I think about this a lot, and I'd have to say (linking to lyrics because I tend to work on an "appropriate lyric" basis):

Babylon 5: Talia, Susan, Lyta, Kosh, Kosh and Bester, and their variously twisted permutations, to White Town's "Your Woman".

Just tell me what you've got to say to me,
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
It comes as no surprise at all you see,
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through.

Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
You don't even know you're being unkind,
So much for all your high brow Marxist ways,
Just use me up and then you walk away.
Boy, you can't play me that way.

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

When I saw my best friend yesterday,
She said she never liked you from the start,
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
But you always knew you held my heart.

And you're such a charming, handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes, I don't know,
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure,
Why did you play me this way?

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you.
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

Buffy: Spike character vid to Madness's "Shut Up", which would really upset Spike fans so it's probably a good thing I don't have the talent. "One! Two! Three!" = three Slayers he killed or nearly did.

I tell you I didn't do it
cause I wasn't there
Don't blame me, it just isn't fair
You listened to their side
Now listen to mine
I'm thinking of a story
Sure you'll find me some time

Now pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, tv set

It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate
He told me to stand here and watch the gate
I've got a wife and three kids you know
They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so
I'm as honest as the day is long,
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong

Now pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, tv set

Pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then I'll be gone and I'll forget
That what you give is what you get...

Buffy: S7 vid to Frank Black's version of Bob Dylan's "Changing of the Guards", to show off the eerie parallels I always see between the lyrics and the plot and characters

Establishing
Sixteen years,
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves.
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.

Xander
Fortune calls.
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.

Willow
The cold-blooded moon.
The captain waits above the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

Buffy, the FIrst Slayer and the Shadowmen
They shaved her head.
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

Angel
I stumbled to my feet.
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

The First Evil and Caleb
The palace of mirrors
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

Buffy and Spike
She wakes him up
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.

Buffy and the Watchers' Council
"Gentlemen", he said,
"I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards."

Climax
Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

Doctor Who: Multi-Doctor, multi-companion vid to Supergrass's "Moving". Because we all know now their real purpose is to stop him doing something horrible.

Moving, just keep moving
Till I don't know what to say
I've been moving so long
The days all feel the same

Moving, just keep moving
Well I don't know why to stay
No ties to bind me
No reasons to remain

Got a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
And I just can't stop messing my mind up
Or wasting my time

There's a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
I've got to find somebody to help me
I keep you in mind

So I'll keep moving, just keep moving
Well I don't know who I am
No need to follow
There's no way back again

Moving, keep on moving
Where I feel I'm home again
And when it's over
I'll see you again

Got a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
And I just can't stop messing my mind up
Or wasting my time

There's a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
I've got to find somebody to help me
I keep you in mind.

Firefly: Schmoopy Mal/Inara vid to Madness's "Are You Coming With Me". "When everyone's living, I know where you'll be" to shot of Serenity Valley...

Could it be someone's telling lies
Or could it be that I'm getting wise
Awoke myself from a nose-dive glide
I caught myself but you've lost all pride

I'm not going with you
Won't you come on with me

See your world in a drift fly past
So good the feeling you want to last

I'm not going with you
Would you come on with me

I'm not here to watch day and night
Or to hear you drift out of life

If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline
Feed you some good
If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline
Feed you some (good)

I'm worried for you
But you're not for me

When everyone's living
I know where you'll be

If I should listen to your proposal
Put my good cheer at your disposal

Promise me you'll keep yourself clean
Cut yourself from your mid-day dream.

If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline
Feed you some good
If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline and
Feed you some good

And one more that I just can't resist: Firefly: Simon+River or maybe even Simon/River to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "In Like The Rose"

In like the rose that grows on your soul, out of time now you’re out for more
In like the stone that forms in your heart, out of reach but you can’t give up this time

I’m on a wire to see your star shine
I’m on a wire to see your star shine

In like the sun that falls on us all, out of time but you can’t let go
Into the dark you’ve stumbled alone, out of sight now you can’t return this time

I’m on a wire to see your star shine
I’m on a wire to see your star shine
I’ve been blind, I’ve torn out my eyes but I fear no more
I’ve been blind, you’ve turned from my side but I felt your voice

In like the cold that grows in your bones, out of time now you can’t go on
End of the road you’ve taken alone, devils’ hands will replace the ones I’ve known

I’m on a wire to see your star shine
I’m on a wire to see your star

(Please darling, hear me darling, see darling you don’t owe them nothing)
I’m on a wire, I’ve taken your silence but can’t no more
(Please darling, hear me darling, see darling you don’t owe them nothing)
I’m on a wire you fade in the light where I can’t follow

Time keeps this lover alive but your hope is gone
Time keeps this lover alive but your hope is gone
