I SAW YOU.
IT MUST'VE BEEN AT LEAST THREE YEARS AGO I HAD A CRUSH ON THIS GIRL I DIDN'T 
KNOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME, BUT I WAS PISSED. I TRIED TO 
FIND HER BY SENDING AN AD INTO "THE LIST". IT WAS FREE 'CAUSE THEY'D JUST 
STARTED THIS BRAND NEW SECTION. FIRST I PASSED IT ON TO MY OLD FRIEND DENISE FOR 
HER INSPECTION. IT SAID, "I SAW YOU TWICE AND BOTH TIMES YOU WERE WEARING 
ORANGE. AND SHE TOLD YOU I FANCIED YOU IN THE TOILETS AT THE GARAGE." THERE WAS 
NEVER A REPLY, PERHAPS IT DIDN'T ASTOUND HER. THAT'S ASSUMING SHE EVER SAW IT 
BUT I THINK I'VE FOUND HER. I THOUGHT IT COULD'VE BEEN IN A CLUB ON SATURDAY 
NIGHT. SHE WAS A COUPLE OF TABLES AWAY AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE. BUT I WAS FAR 
TOO DRUNK SO AN APPROACH WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION. BUT THIS GUY STUART HAD SEND 
US TICKETS TO SEE HIS BAND BELLE & SEBASTIAN. WE WENT ALONG THOROUGHLY DRUNK, 
STOPPED FOR A POST-GIG 'HELLO'. AND I THINK THE GIRL THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR'S 
FRIENDS WITH THE GIRL WHO PLAYS THE CELLO. I THINK SHE'S COMING TO SEE US WHEN 
WE PLAY. AND EVERY TIME WE MEET I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY. SHE PROBABLY THINKS I'M 
NEW, SHE MAYBE THINKS I'M GAY. SHE'S PROBABLY GOT A BOYFRIEND ANYWAY. I REMEMBER 
THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW HER I WAS COMPLETELY IN AWE. I THOUGHT, WELL THAT'S 
THE KIND OF GIRL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE MY SQUAW. AND IF I COULD EVER BE THE 
KIND OF BRAVE THAT SHE WOULD CHOOSE. WE'D TRAVEL PLAINS WITH OUR LITTLE BABY 
TURNED IN IT'S LITTLE PAPPOOSE. SHE STARTS FORESIGHTING ME IN A PUBLIC BAR. MY 
BIRD WAS IN THE BOG. WHEN SHE RETURNED SHE SAID SHE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THAT GIRL 
A SNOG. AND TWO WEEKS LATER WE SPLIT UP AND A NEW LOVER I WAS SEEKING. AND WHEN 
I SEE THAT GIRL AGAIN I'M JUST NEVER UP FOR SPEAKING. I HEAR SHE'S COMING TO SEE 
US WHEN WE PLAY. AND EVERY TIME WE MEET I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY. SHE PROBABLY 
THINKS I'M NEW, SHE MAYBE THINKS I'M GAY. SHE'S PROBABLY GOT A BOYFRIEND ANYWAY.

THE FIRST BIG PEEL THING.
THE FIRST DISASTER OF THE WEEKEND WAS WHEN LAURA PHONES AT FOUR 'O CLOCK IN THE 
MORNING AND WAKES UP MY MUM. SHE PHONED FAE MORAG'S JUST TO TELL ME THAT HER AND 
ANN-MARIE HAD PICKED UP SOME GUYS AND WERE PRESENTLY GETTING READY TO 'HAVE 
THEM'. MUM WENT DAFT. AND SHE DIDNAE TAKE TOO KINDLY TO MORAG PHONING BACK HALF 
AN HOUR LATER. THERE I WAS JUST TRYING TO MIND MY BUSINESS. COME DOWN, GENTLY. I 
DIDNAE TAKE THE NEWS TOO WELL. I'D BEEN SORTA BEEN SEEING ANN-MARIE. BUT, UM, 
WELL, I'D BE A HYPOCRITE IF I SAID I WAS BOTHERED. WE WERE GONNA AVOID THE DRINK 
ON SANDAY CAUSE WE HAD TO LEAVE EARLY ON MONDAY MORNING. BUT, UM, IT DIDNAE 
REALLY WORK OOT. 
I SPENT MOST OF THE AFTERNOON PLAYING ON MY BROTHERS NINTENDO 64 ON THE STAR 
WARS GAME WE WENT UP THE PUB LATER AND, UM, I HAD HOPED THE GIRLS WOULDA BEEN 
THERE SO, UM, I COULD TELL THEM, UM, I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN. 
BUT THEY WEREN'T THERE. AND MONDAY WAS A DISASTER AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF BED... 
FIRST OF ALL THE CHEQUE DIDN'T CLEAR, THEN WE DIDNAE GET THE RIGHT VAN. AND WHEN 
WE DID EVENTUALLY GET A VAN THE TAX HAD RUN OUT SO WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK. AND 
MY DAD HAD TO PAY FOR IT WITH HIS CREDIT CARD. THEN WE EVENTUALLY DID LEAVE. WE 
HAD TO ARRANGE TO MEET EVERYONE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. WE DIDN'T GET THE RIGHT 
HOTEL WHEN WE GOT HERE. THE JOURNEY WAS TERRIBLE. AND WE WOULDNAE HAVE THIS 
KINDA HASSLE. ANYWAY, WE'VE GOT TWO LOVELY GIGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO...AND ANOTHER 
JOURNEY HOME ... BRILLIANT "WENT OUT FOR THE WEEKEND IT LASTED FOREVER. IT 
WISNAE VERY GOOD AND I WISH IT WAS SUMMER."
THE SMELL OF OUTDOOR COOKING.
I TAKE A SMOKE FROM THE BARBEQUE. I SWALLOW MY OWN CHEAP BOOZE. I TRY NOT TO 
LOOK AT YOUR LEGS
AS LITTLE BOYS PLAY IN BIG GIRL'S SHOES. I PLAY THEIR GAMES AND TAKE THEM WALKS. 
I MAKE JOKES ABOUT FEELING CLUCKY. AND I TAKE MYSELF, DRUNKEN DREAMS. FIRST I'D 
HAVE TO GET LUCKY. I KNOW IT DIDN'T MEAN A THING. I JUST PRETEND IT'S A JOKE. I 
SAY I SAW YOU TOPLESS, BUT I KEPT QUIET ABOUT THAT BUSINESS WITH THE POKE. THE 
SMELL OF OUTDOOR COOKING - THE BEVVY'S GONE TO MY HEAD. PLEASE DON'T BEND OVER 
LIKE THAT IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT WE'D BE LIKE IN BED. GET YOUR FINGERS OUT MY 
FRIEND. DID YOU THINK THE SAME AS ME? AS WE STOOD THERE IN THE KITCHEN. WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT HAVING KIDS. AND AS USUAL I DID MY BIT OF BITCHING. YOU KNOW THAT 
I DON'T WANT A GIRLFRIEND. JUST SOMEONE TO PASS THE TIME WITH. WHEN IT'S COMING 
UP FOR THE CHUCK. KEEP YOUR FINGERS OUT MY FRIEND.

BLACKSTAR.
STRAIGHT FROM YOUR OWN EYES. LIFT YOUR SIGHTS ABOVE. NORMALITY AND STRANGENESS. 
LONELINESS IN LOVE. LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM - I'LL GIVE YOU A BLACK STAR. IGNORE MY 
JOKES, FEED MY LIES. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY NATURE. REMEMBER THOUGH, ALL MY 
ACTIONS ARE FUELLED, SELFESH GAIN. I LIVE FOR YOU AND DIE FOR YOU. I'M TRYING TO 
BE A SAINT. I'LL CRY WHEN YOU LEAVE ME. WOUNDED AND ON MY OWN. IT'S FAKE, BUT SO 
IS THIS, I JUST COULDN'T GET THROUGH THE SCUM. PROVE TO YOU ON MY SURFACE: I 
WANNA BE A BLACK STAR. I'LL GIVE YOU A BLACK STAR. I WANNA BE A BLACK STAR. I'LL 
GIVE YOU A BLACK STAR. BLACK STAR. 

NOT QUITE A YES.
WHY COULD I NOT SPEAK? YOU'RE NOT SO UNIQUE. MY EYES WERE ON THE FLOOR. YOU 
OFFERED A SUGGESTION, SO I WENT AND ASKED THE QUESTION. AND I FUCKED THE WHOLE 
THING UP. I FUCKED IT UP. NO MEETING WAS I GRANTED. BUT NOW THE SEED'S BEEN 
PLANTED. AND NOW YOU'RE IN THE KNOW. TOO DAZED TO IMPRESS. NOT A NO, NOT QUITE A 
YES. YOU ASKED IF THAT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

THE HOLIDAY GIRL.
I'M TELLING YOU IT'S THE SAME GIRL. SHE'S ALWAYS THERE ON HOLIDAYS WHEN YOU'RE 
WEE. SHE NEVER GROWS UP AND SHE'S EVERYWHERE. SHE WAS IN THE LIFT AT THE COVENT 
GARDEN LAST WEEK AND SHE WAS IN TORQUAY WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN. SHE SAID SHE WAS 
CALLED TINA THEN AND SHE CLAIMED SHE WAS FROM GERMANY. I WATCHED HER FROM THE 
BALCONY AS SHE SWAM IN THE POOL AND TANNED HERSELF ALL DAY. AND SPY ON HER FROM 
HOTEL WINDOWS WHEN SHE PLAYED TENNIS WITH HER MUM AND DAD. I WOULD TRY TO 
IMPRESS HER WITH MY SENSITIVE SIDE BY BEING UNUSALLY AFFECTIONATE TO MY WEE 
BROTHER WHEN SHE PASSED US IN THE LOBBY. THERE WAS A ROYAL WEDDING I DUNNO WHICH 
ONE. BUT THE HOTEL WAS A FANCY DO SOME SORT OF CELEBRATION THING. SHE SAT AT THE 
TABLE SHE USUAL SAT AT DINNER JUST ACROSS FROM OURS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D 
HAD A DRINK - A CHAMPAGNE ON ICE COCKTAIL AFFAIR. LATER WHEN THERE WAS A DANCE 
AND ALL THE PARENTS WERE DRUNK. AND MY DAD TRIED TO MAKE ME JOIN IN THIS CONGA. 
I WASN'T INTO IT SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND STOOD ON THE PATIO STARING AT THE NIGHT 
SEA TRYING TO LOOK DEED. SHE CAME OUT AND SHE BESIDE ME. HER NAKED ELBOW TOUCHED 
MINE AND SHE TURNED ROUND AND SMILED. BUT I COULDN'T SAY A THING.

TRIPPY.
ERRA PHONED ME AT WORK ABOUT HALF FOUR. IT'S FUNNY, I DINNAE EVEN SPEAK TO HER 
ANY MAIR, SHE'S A FUCKIN' WEE COW. BETTER THAN EVERYBODY, KEN? DOESNAE SPEAK TO 
HER MATES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ANYWAY, WE GOT IN AT THE TIME AND SHE PHONES ME 
UP AND ASKS ME WHAT I'M DA'IN AT TONIGHT. BUT I WAS ONLY GONNA SIT AND WATCH THE 
TELLY AS USUAL, WONDERING WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE WIS. SO SHE SAID 'COME ROOND TO 
RAB'S HOOSE AN' THAT, GOT SOME TRIPS, KEN?
SO I SAID I'D GO ROOND ABOOT SIX. I WAS ABOOT AN HOOR LATE AND I WAS KNOCKING ON 
THE DOOR AN' THAT, AND NAEBODY ANSWERED. AND I THOUGHT OH, FUCKIN' BRILLIANT, 
THE'RE AWAY OOT WITHOOT ME AN' THAT, THEY'LL BE AWAY UP THE TOON HAVING A LAUGH. 
SO I WALK BACK ROOND THE ROAD, CAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE AWAY OOT, AND I PHONED. 
TURNS OUT THEY'D STILL BEEN THERE, THEY WERE THAT OOT O' IT THEY COULDNAE EVEN 

GET TO THE DOOR.
EVERYONE WAS, EH, JUMPIN' ABOOT THE FRONT ROOM AS USUAL. WE WERE SITTIN' 
GIGGLIN' HAVIN' A LAUGH AND THEN CHEG CAME AND TOOK US TO THE PUB IN HIS CAR. WE 
TOLD CHEG HE SHOULD BE A RANKER, THAT WAS A FUCKIN' LAUGH. I KEPT TELLIN' HIM, I 
SAID TO CALM DOON, ONLY IT WAS ONLY IT WAS OOR MUM AN' DAD AN' THAT, CAUSE WE 
WERE ACTIN' LIKE WEANS AN' GIGGLIN' AND LOOKIN' AT THE TABLE AND DROPPIN' OOR 
DRINKS ALL O'ER THE PLACE.
WE MADE IT BACK TO HIS CAR, JUMPED IN, AND HE TOOK AS BACK ROOND TO THE HOOSE, 
THEN HE DECIDED TAE PACK IT IN AN' GO HAME. SO MALC AN' I GET BACK IN THE HOOSE. 
AND SUDDENLY SOMEONE'S GOIN' ON ABOOT RAB AN' THAT, HOW HE'S NO' FUCKIN THERE 
AN' HE'S AWAY OOTSIDE AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN PAIN OR SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT."
HE HAD TAE GO AND PICK UP SOME MAIR STUFF CAUSE THEY'D USED ALL THIS STUFF FOR 
GLASTONBURY THE NEXT WEEK. AND SOMEBODY SAID HE APPARENTLY TOOK SOMETHIN' WHEN 
HE WAS THERE, SO HE'S WRITHIN' ABOOT IN PAIN OOTSIDE, SO MALC AND I WALKED OOT. 
AND HE'S WALKIN' ALONG THE EDGE OF THE ROAD ON THE GRASS AN' THAT, WITH HIS 
FUCKIN' STOMACH HELD IN HIS HANDS AN' HE'S SCREAMING AND THAT.
AND THEN WE LOST HIM. HE DISSAPEARED INTAE THE PARK AND WE DIDNAE KNOW WHERE HE 
WAS. SO MALC AND I ARE WALKIN' ABOOT AN' WE FOUND HIM. BUT WE DECIDED WE SHOULD 
STAY BACK A BIT, KEN? IN CASE HE GOT A FRIGHT. S O WE FOLLOWED HIM UP INTAE THIS 
PARK, AS THOUGH THAT WASNAE GONNA SCARE HIM ANAYWAY! AND WHEN WE DID FIND HIM HE 
WAS THERE, DOUBLED UP IN PAIN, FUCKIN' SCREAMIN' HIS EYES OUT, GOIN' ON ABOUT 
HOW HIS STOMACH WAS KNOTTED AND HE SHOULDNAE O' TAKEN IT AND IT WAS A STUPID 
THING TO DAE. SO HE'S SITTIN' THERE ON THE HILL AN' THAT WI' MALC AND I EITHER 
SIDE AND ALL WE CAN DO IS SIT AND GIGGLE AND LOOK AT THE GRASS AN' TAKE THE PISH 
OOT O' HIM.
SO WE GET HIM UP ON HIS FEET AND WE START WALKIN' HIM ABOOT AND HE SAYS "YOUSE 
ARE RIGHT", AN' WE WALK UP TAE THE GARAGE AN' THEN HE STARTS SHOUTIN' ABOUT HOW 
WE SHOULD GET AWAY FROM HIM AN' THAT, IN CASE SOMETHIN' HAPPENS, IN CASE HE 
FUCKIN' DIES OR SOMETHIN', SO YOU SEE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THAT BAD THAT'S WHAT WAS 
GONNA HAPPEN AN' HE DIDNAE WANT US TAE BE INVOLVED. HE ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR 
EVERYBODY ELSE, KEN?
SO WE TAKE HIM TO THE GARAGE AN' HE WANTS A BOTTLE O' IRN BRU, AN' HE'S FUCKIN' 
DOWNIN' THIS BOTTLE O' IRN BRU, TALKIN' ABOOT HIS FUCKIN' STOMACH AND EVERYTHING 
AND HOW HE'S TAKEN THIS 'HING AND HE HAS TAE GET IT OOT O' HIS SYSTEM, AND 
TALKIN' ABOOT HOW IT'S ALL IN HIS BILE, AND HE'S DESPERATELY TRYIN' TAE MAKE 
HIS-SELF SICK, AND HE'S SCREAMIN' ALL THE FUCKIN' TIME AS WELL, AND MALC AND I 
ARE STILL LAUGHIN' - WE DINNAE KEN WHAT HE'S UPTAE, HE COULD O' TAKEN ANYTHIN', 
I WOULDN'T KNOW.
NAEBODY'S SURE YET ABOOT WHAT HE TOOK. FUCKIN' HE COULD O' INJECTED SOMETHIN', 
HE COULD O' SWALLOWED SOMETHIN', NAEBODY KNOWS, BUT HE JUST STOOD THERE WITH 
THIS DIRTY FUCKIN' FACE, IT'S ALL BLACK AN' DIRTY AN' BROWN KEN? HE'S HAPPY HE 
TOOK HIS BOTTLE O' IRN BRU CAUSE HE'S BEIN' SEEK ALL O'ER THE FUCKIN' PLACE. 
SCREAMING ALL THE EVERYWHERE TIME ABOUT HOW IT WAS ALL IN HIS FUCKING BILE AND 
HOW HE WANTED TO BE SICK. HE KEEPS FUCKING SCREAMING ... THEN HE THREW UP.
SO WE WALKED ON BACK TO THE HOUSE AND HE MADE US SWEAR WE WOULDNAE TELL ANYBODY. 
SO HE GOES BACK TO THE HOUSE AND HE FUCKING TELLS EVERYBODY. HE LOCKED HIMSELF 
IN HIS ROOM AND STARTED EATING A BAG OF SUGAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WHILE 
EVERYONE ELSE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHAT A DICK HE WAS.
I ENDED AT UP AT THE PARK THAT NIGHT. SITTING EATING PRINGLES WITH PAULA AND 
WATCHING THE WILDLIFE. AND THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO WORK I WAS STILL OUT OF MY 
FACE. I WAS PACING ABOUT ON THE STAIRS TALKING TO MYSELF AND WRITING THINGS AND 
HE WALKED IN. AND STRESSED THE POINT ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT NO-ONE WOULD FIND 
OOT.

GILDED.
SO I'M FREE AGAIN THIS SUMMER 'CAUSE YOU'RE PLAYING WITH A PLUMBER. WITH HIS OWN 
PLACE AND A CAR, I DON'T CARE - I'M GONNA BE A POP STAR. WELL HE CAN TAKE YOU 
FOR A RIDE AND HE CAN BUY YOU GIFTS AND FLOWERS, AND I'M SURE HE'S GOT A NICER 
BODY THAN ME, AND MAYBE HE CAN GO FOR HOURS AND HOURS. BUT I WONDER WHERE YOU 
AND HIM MIGHT BE WHEN YOU SEE ME ON THE COVER OF THE NME. AFTER SELL-OUT TOURS 
AND A STRING OF HITS AND I'M SNORTING COCAINE OFF A SUPERMODELS TITS. MY LIFE IS 
GOING MY WAY. I SAW YOU IN THE PUB TODAY. AND YOU LOOK SO UGLY NOW. SINCE YOU 
TURNED INTO A SHALLOW DISCO COW. YOU'RE NO LONGER MY GILDED SHACKLE, SO I DON'T 
HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR HIDEOUS CACKLE. I COULDN'T GIVE A TOSS WHAT YOU DO AND BY 
THE WAY, HAVE YOU FOUND OUT I WAS TWO-TIMING YOU.

BRUCE WILLIS.
OH, I WOULD FUCK BRUCE WILLIS IF I HAD A FANNY. BUT WE BOTH KNOW I CANNAE.

DRUG SONG FOR PAULA.
COME ON PAULA, HAVE SOME TEQUILA. WE'LL KILL THE COCKS, AND WE'LL EAT THEM RAW. 
WE'LL WATCH THE FOXES WHEN WE'RE OUT OF OUR BOXES. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE 
AIR, AND IT'S RAISED BY UNDERWORLD. 
SHE SAID, "DRUGS ARE GOOD, WE LIKE THEM. SO LETS PHONE RAB AND GET SOME. DRUGS 
ARE COOL, WE WANT SOME. SO LETS FIND RAB AND GET SOME." I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO 
WHEN I'M PRACTISING VOODOO. I HAD TO GET OUT THE BOG, THE WALLPAPER WAS TOO 
MUCH. YOU SAT AND GOT BLUNTED, WHILE I WAS THOUROUGHLY
CUNTED. I WAS GLUED TO THE FLOOR, AND CHEG COULDN'T SHUT UP. SHE SAID, "DRUGS 
ARE GOOD, WE LIKE THEM. SO LETS PHONE RAB AND GET SOME. DRUGS ARE COOL, WE WANT 
SOME. SO LETS FIND RAB AND GET SOME." COME ON PAULA.

TOY FIGHTS. 
BORED AT HOME, NOTHING TO DO BUT EAT. I'LL GIVE YOU A PHONE AND YOU CAN COME 
ALONG THE STREET. YOU/I'LL BRING THE JUNK FOOD, I'LL/YOU (CAN) HIRE THE TAPE. WE 
CAN SIT AND POKE FUN AT EACH OTHER'S SHAPE. WATER PISTOLS AT DAWN, WE WERE 
SOAKED TO BITS. THEN YOU/I TRIED TO BITE ME/YOU SO I/YOU HAND-HELD HOOVERED 
YOUR/MY TITS. TOY FIGHTS ON THE FLOOR, BOTH DRUNK AND DRUGGED. OUT OF BREATH 
WHEN WE STOPPED, THEN WE SAT ON THE STAIRS AND HUGGED. 

FOREST HILLS.
WE PHONED UP AND LEFT A STORY WITH OUR PARENTS...WE TOLD THEM MINE WERE STILL 
THERE SO THEY COULDN'T COME UNTIL TOMORROW. I THINK WE JUST WANTED SOME TIME TO 
OURSELVES BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT BY THEN EVERYONE WASN'T GETTING ON. SO WE SAT ON 
THE VERANDA AND WATCHED THE SUN SET OVER THE LOCH. LISTENED TO SOME QUIET TUNES, 
FINISHED A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY AND AGREED THAT IT'D NEVER BE AS GOOD AS BEFORE. 
LIKE WHEN WE MET THOSE GIRLS AND WE WENT SWIMMING AT NIGHT. EXCEPT MATTHEW WHO 
STILL CAN'T SWIM. THEY WERE YOUNGER THAN US. WE NEVER GOT ANYWHERE WITH THEM IN 
THE END BUT IT WOULD'VE SPOILED IT IF WE HAD. AND WE'D PILED UP ALL THE EMPTIES 
AGAINST THE BIG WINDOW AND I HAD EVERYBODY POSE IN FRONT...I TOOK PICTURES.
THEN THERE WAS THAT TIME WE GATE-CRASHED THE GRADUATION BALL IN THE HOTEL NEXT 
TO THE LODGE. PRETENDING TO BE STUDENTS AND PRETENDING TO BE THEIR PALS. THEY 
WERE DRESSED IN THEIR KILTS AND EVENING GOWNS AND WE WALKED IN WITH OUR JEANS 
AND GUTTIES ON...NEARLY GOT OUR HEADS KICKED IN.
AND ON THE WAY BACK WE BUMPED INTO THAT GUY WITH THE 'PRO-LIFE' STICKER ON HIS 
CAR WINDOW...AND HE GOT SOME ABUSE...BUT IT TURNED OUT THEY'D PHONED MY HOUSE 
AND SPOKE TO MY MUM SO THEY KNEW WE WERE HERE AND THEY TURNED UP ABOUT 1 OR 2. 
BY THAT TIME WE WERE REALLY PISSED, SO THE HOLIDAY DIDN'T REALLY GET OFF TO A 
GOOD START. AND YOU DIDNAE REALLY HELP MATTERS WHEN YOU WENT OUT WITH NEIL'S 
GIRLFRIEND. WE NEVER SEE THEM NOW, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT I'LL MISS THEM.

INTRO.
WELL, I WOULD FUCK BRUCE WILLIS, IF I HAD A FANNY. AND I'D FUCK HAN SOLO TOO, 
BUT WE BOTH KNOW THAT I CANNAE. THE FACT IS I'VE GOT A COCK, SO THE BEST THING I 
COULD DO IS FORGET ACTORS AND ROCK STARS AND CONCENTRATE ON FUCKING YOU.

BIRDS.
AND ALL THOSE TEARS HAVE FUCKED MY SIGHT. THE SKIN ROUND MY EYES IS SORE, LIKE 
THE THE SKIN ON MY COCK WHEN I'M ERECT. I REMEBER YOU USED TO SAY YOU LIKED 
THAT. BUT JOHN SAID HAVING A BIRD IS LIKE HAVING A JOB. YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE 
ONE UNTIL YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE SET UP. BUT SOMETIMES, UNDER CERTAIN WORK 
CONDITIONS, YOU'D BE BETTER OFF ON THE OLD KING COLE.

I STILL MISS YOU.
SO, I HEAR HE LIKES TO COOK YOU DINNER, THEN YOU CAN BOTH JUST SIT AND TALK. ARE 
YOU IN IT 'CAUSE HE'S GOT HIS OWN SMART PLACE OR ARE YOU JUST IN IT FOR THE 
COCK? I STILL MISS YOU. DOES HE KNOW JUST WHERE TO TOUCH YOU? CAN HE GET YOU ON 
YOUR KNEES? THAT FUCKIN' SMUG LOOK ON HIS FUCKIN' UGLY FACE ALMOST MADE ME WISH 
I'D HAD A DISEASE. I STILL MISS YOU. SO, ARE YOU USING JONNIES? I ASK JUST 
'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU COULD BE ON THE PILL. AND I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT YOU'D 
BEEN SHAGGING HIM BEHIND MY BACK WHEN WE WERE STILL GOING OUT. BUT EVEN STILL, 
I'D WAIT FOR YOU.
I'D WAIT FOR YOU. I STILL MISS YOU.

REVOLUTION.
I'M SICK OF ALL THESE PEOPLE TELLING ME...EVERY, EVERY DAY THEY THINK THEY'RE 
CLEVER. AND THEY'RE MUCH CLEVERER THAN ME. TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T 
DO. AND YOU'RE THE SAME - YOU FEEL THE SAME. BUT YOU JUST SIT ON YOUR ARSE. YOU 
JUST SIT ON YOUR ARSE AND TAKE IT. ALL OF THEM TELLING YOU WHAT YOU CAN'T AND 
CAN DO. YOU CAN SMELL THE FIRES...YOU CAN SMELL THE BURNING IN THE AIR, MAN. 
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE...ALL I'M SAYING... ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT IT ONLY 
TAKES MINUTES TO MAKE IT LOOK RIGHT. JUST FIVE SECONDS TO DECIDE IT. TO DECIDE 
IT'S RIGHT. JUST FOR A CHANGE - A SOLUTION. A WEE...A WEE REVOLUTION.

CHANGES.
I FEEL UNHAPPY, I FEEL SO SAD. I'VE LOST THE BEST FRIEND THAT I EVER HAD. SHE 
WAS MY WOMAN, I LOVED HER SO. BUT IT'S TOO LATE NOW I'VE LET HER GO. I'M GOING 
THROUGH CHANGES. WE SHARED THE YEARS, WE SHARED EACH DAY. IN LOVE TOGETHER, WE 
FOUND A WAY. BUT SOON THE WORLD HAD ITS EVIL WAY. MY HEART WAS BLINDED, LOVE 
WENT ASTRAY. I'M GOING THROUGH CHANGES. IT TOOK SO LONG, TO REALISE. AND I CAN 
STILL HEAR, HER LAST GOODBYES. NOW ALL MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH TEARS. WISH I 
COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE THESE YEARS. I'M GOING THROUGH CHANGES.

NOW THAT YOU'RE TAKEN.
DID YOU SEE HER WHEN I WAS AWAY? I WOULD HAVE PHONED BUT YOU'D SPOIL THE TRIP. 
WILL HE BE IN THE PUB TONIGHT? I'LL HATE MARRIAGE AND TAKE A SIP. WILL HE BE 
YOURS AS OF TODAY. WILL I NEVER SEE YOU NOW IF YOU'RE TAKEN. ARE YOU STILL 
WEARING THAT RING? WHEN SHE TOLD ME I WAS A LITTLE SHAKEN. LIKE A BIRD WITHOUT 
THE BED MY SISTER SAYS THAT WE'LL GET WED AND I SHOULD TELL YOU I ADORE YOU BUT 
IT WOULD JUST BORE YOU.

R U STILL IN 2 IT.
ARE YOU STILL INTO IT? 'CAUSE I'M STILL INTO IT. WE HAVEN'T HAD SORE BITS FOR 
ABOUT A FORTNIGHT. AM I YOUR ONLY ONE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE STILL MY ONLY ONE BUT IF 
YOU NEED MORE I'LL JUST DO IT. IT'S ALL RIGHT. WE SHOULD GO INTO TOWN AND SPEND 
SOME MONEY. WE COULD GO TO THE PICTURES AND SEE SOMETHING FUNNY. WE'D SHARE THE 
POPCORN AND WE CAN GO TO THE PUB AT NIGHT, WE CAN GET RIGHT TANKED UP AND GO 
HOME AND HAVE A FIGHT. WILL YOU STILL MISS ME, WHEN I'M GONE? IS THERE LOVE 
THERE, EVEN WHEN I'M WRONG? WILL YOU STILL KISS ME, IF YOU FIND OUT? I WILL NOW 
LEAVE YOU BUT DON'T FOLLOW ME. WE COULD GO INTO TOWN AND SPEND SOME MONEY. GO TO 
THE PICTURES GO AND SEE SOMETHING FUNNY. SHARE A POPCORN AND WHEN IT'S FINISHED 
WE COULD GO TO THE PUB AT NIGHT AND GET REALLY PISSED AND GO HOME AND HAVE A 
FIGHT. WILL YOU MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE? IS THERE A LOVE THERE EVEN WHEN I'M 
WRONG? WILL YOU STILL KISS ME, IF YOU FIND OUT? I WILL LEAVE YOU AND I WILL MISS 
YOU.

ROCKET, TAKE YOUR TURN.
HAVE A LOOK IN THE FRIDGE AND SEE WHAT HE'S GOT. GET IN THE BATH AND I'LL TELL 
YOU THE LOT. WE'RE GROWN MEN, WE SHOULD BE RESPECTABLE. BUT TO FUCK WITH THAT, 
LET'S MAKE A SPECTACLE. KEEP CLIMBING, YOU'LL SEE EVERYTHING. TWICE 'ROUND THE 
BLOCK. IT'S OKAY, SAY ANYTHING. WE HIDE IN TOILETS, WE HIDE IN A CORNER, BUT 
IT'S NOT OVER YET SO SOMEONE PLEASE WARN HER. I COULD TRY ANYTHING WHEN I FEEL 
LIKE THIS. WITH PART-TIME FRIENDS THAT I COULD NEVER MISS. SPILL THE GOSSIP, YOU 
KNOW IT'S ALWAYS TOPICAL. FROM WHERE WE SIT TONIGHT IT SEEMS TROPICAL. WORK'S 
BEGUN, THE TAXI'S LATE. I SHOULD FEEL LIKE A HIPPY BUT ALL I FEEL IS HATE. LET 
THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT, THE COULD NEVER MAKE IT STICK. 'CAUSE EVERYONE TAKES A 
TURN AT BEING A DICK.

BLACKNESS.
DRIVE THROUGH THE FIELDS TONIGHT. STOP ON OUR USUAL HILL. TURN UP THE NEW TUNES. 
ADMIT IT, YOU NEED HER STILL. SPEED UP WHEN I COME UP. SHE LAUGHS IN TIME WITH 
THE TRACK. TONIGHT IS A SCHOOL NIGHT AND IT'S TIME WE GOT HER BACK. RACE THROUGH 
THE TREES. BRAVE THE BACK ROADS WITH EASE. THEY COULDN'T CATCH US TONIGHT. ON 
THE BEACH AT THE DOCK., YOU BRING THE CANS AND WE'LL TALK. GRAB ME IN CASE I 
TAKE FLIGHT. IGNORANCE IS THE WORST PART. SHE WASN'T OUT ON FRIDAY NIGHT. I JUST 
WANTED TO CATCH HER EYE, THEN IGNORE HER - PROVE I'M ALRIGHT. AND IT TOOK HOURS 
TO WALK HOME. AND I HAD A FEW ON MY OWN. I WANTED TO HEAR HER, BUT HE ANSWERED 
THE PHONE. WHEN SHE STARTED TO WEAR MAKE-UP, NEW CLOTHES AND NEW HAIR, THAT'S 
WHEN HER SEX-DRIVE DIED. DRIVE ME UP TO MY DOOR, YOU KNOW I'VE DONE IT BEFORE. 
AT LEAST I'LL KNOW I'VE TRIED. JUST KEEP YOUR FOOT DOWN AND IT'LL ALL BE FINE. 
IF WE CAN KEEP UP WITH A BROKEN LEG. THE CORPSES WE SEE ARE JUST EMPTY BODIES. 
AS WE DISMISS ALL THE BROKEN HEARTS AS SLAGS. SLOW DOWN WHEN I COME DOWN - THIS 
IS THE ONLY LOVE. JUST US AND THE BRIGHT GREEN SKY, GLOWING AND PULSING ABOVE.

TINY GIRLS.
WELL THE DAY BEGINS. YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE, 'CAUSE YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE ONE 
YOU'RE WITH. 'CAUSE YOU KNOW HER TRICKS AND YOU KNOW HER PAST. WHEN SHE MAKES A 
FACE, YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH. AND YOU FEEL SUCH A KNOW-IT-ALL WHEN YOU ONLY WANT 
SUCH A TINY GIRL. AND YOU HOPE SHE'LL SING. SO YOU TURN AROUND TO THE TINY GIRLS 
WHO HAVE GOT NO TRICKS, WHO HAVE GOT NO PAST. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK AND 
YOU HOPE SHE'LL SING. BUT SHE SINGS OF GREED, LIKE A YOUNG BANSHEE. AND SHE 
WANTS FOR THIS AND SHE WANTS FOR THAT. WHAT DID YOU THINK?

TURBULENCE.
YOU ALWAYS JUMP AND QUIVER WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN TO LAND. WITH NO RUNWAY, NO 
GUIDANCE. NO NAILS DUG INTO MY HAND. WE COULD HAVE WHOEVER WE WANT. WE COULD GO 
BACK TO SCHOOL. AND SEE THE ? AGAIN. LETS GET DRESSED UP AND PULL. THE ONLY 
BENEFIT OF DRINKING. THE DOWNSIDE OF WHAT WE TAKE.
SOME WEEKENDS I FEEL LIKE I COULD ALWAYS BE AWAKE. A PARTY IN A STRANGER'S HOUSE 
- HAVE WE EVER MET THE HOST? JUST SMILE AND KEEP TALKING. AND GET YOUR CAN FOR A 
TOAST. WE WON'T ALWAYS BE SAFE HERE, BUT THIS IS WHERE REMAIN. PULL IT TIGHT TO 
PROTECT US. WE MIGHT NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.
