Plot
Five very different characters are thrown together in one weird, mashed up day. It started out like any other, but 24 hours later everything had changed. South West 9 takes you through the windscreen of the new millenium. The death of idealism, capitalism, religion and hippies. Even the drugs don't work anymore. The 'summer of love' generation have come down and they're ready to riot. Seattle. Stockholm. Paris. Genoa. May Day riots.
No Ordinary Day Trip
On the Ginza strip the 100th building
On the 100th floor
Dream team life enhancing
Behind the 100th door
Sukiyaki carried me to this place
have to hari kari if ever i lose face
Western girls at Lexington Queen
Are the prettiest girls I ever seen
I`d gladly part with hard earned Yen
Just so I could be with them
Chainsmoking at the Singalong Bar
Wedged into the Subway Car
Heat up some more rice wine
Somebody just jumped on the line
Robots have run amok on the factory floor
`Bin 20 years at Sony and I can see 20 more
Hi-tech sex, wireless sets, samurai
Western ways, baseball games, apple pie
Though some will say we imitate
Produce the goods at a cheaper rate
Faster too reduced in size
Our ingenuitys` realised
I had to grab a massage cab
I left my briefcase at the lab
Godzilla ate the bullet train
Wont see Kyoto ever again
Now Papa jumped the gun back in `41
Following the flag of the rising sun
When Tojo did the Mojo
he was downed in flames
U.S. Destroyer - Kamikaze planes
The West don`t learn from history
Doomed to repeat it endlessly
We put the past on to Fuji
Then we erase it totally - Yeah!
Soon we`ll be known as Great Japan
Just like they do in Great Britain
Spelt microchip and solid state
The things that made this country great
