[00:00.000]	Everywhere is monsters.
[00:01.450]	Tits out, wet-mouthed, heads back.
[00:03.570]	Shouting and screaming just to prove they exist.
[00:06.000]
[00:06.670]	Becky’s at the bar with the usual mix
[00:08.970]	Of decadent fabrics and desolate lighting.
[00:12.340]	Everybody here has got a hyphenated second name.
[00:15.270]	Blowing more breeze
[00:16.340]	Than the wind at the weather vane.
[00:17.870]
[00:18.390]	Industry slimeballs, showbiz big-deals.
[00:20.960]	The cool new band with the retro feel,
[00:23.280]	It’s the wrap party for their video.
[00:25.390]	Becky danced in it.
[00:26.560]	The director, Marshall Law,
[00:28.080]	Head to toe in yellow velour,
[00:29.790]	Is holding court about the science of image
[00:32.080]	While the sycophants giggle and grimace.
[00:34.120]	Becky fidgets, tells herself,
[00:36.100]	‘Must stop being so cynical,
[00:38.140]	Everybody here is a human,
[00:40.390]	Even these pitiful posturing pop stars and idiots.’
[00:43.850]	She tells herself to look again -
[00:45.700]	Nothing is hideous.
[00:46.530]
[00:46.950]	So while Marshall Law is wanking on about his artwork
[00:49.610]	She smiles at the guy opposite,
[00:51.270]	Bright eyes, dark shirt.
[00:52.500]	He raises his eyebrows in the direction of Marshall.
[00:55.510]	‘My name’s Becky,’ she says,
[00:57.610]	‘What’s yours?’
[00:58.440]
[00:58.720]	She was like nothing that he’d seen before.
[01:01.000]	Strong body, soft edges, with something so raw
[01:03.920]	In the core of her iris.
[01:05.210]	He said his name, ‘Harry’.
[01:06.950]	And never in his life had he felt so happy.
[01:09.680]	They got talking,
[01:10.950]	Free bar. Exhausting decorum
[01:12.760]	He drank until she was so absorbing
[01:14.810]	He blanked out the party.
[01:16.220]	The floor spun, he stared at her face and felt sure,
[01:19.040]	Something was happening here.
[01:21.210]
[01:21.600]	He was kinda nervous,
[01:22.700]	His eyes kept doing circuits of the room.
[01:24.490]	He drank as fast as they could serve him,
[01:26.500]	Then this dude comes over,
[01:27.820]	Sticks out a thick hand,
[01:29.500]	And Harry looks at her
[01:30.770]	Like he’s just found himself in quicksand.
[01:32.760]	He gives this guy a wrap, they shake hands
[01:34.950]	Sweaty cash passed between palms,
[01:36.870]	No fuss. Bish bash, yes, bosh.
[01:39.160]	He looked at her guiltily,
[01:40.510]	She waved it off, smiling
[01:42.120]	‘You a shotter then, right?
[01:43.380]	I don’t care.’
[01:44.290]
[01:44.570]	‘Becky, all I ever wanted was a place of my own.’
[01:47.070]	His eyes, wide and trusting,
[01:48.570]	He’s staring at her, desperate for something to click.
[01:51.320]	He is opening up. This is it.
[01:53.450]	‘A real classy place, the whole bit,
[01:55.490]	Like a speakeasy, right?
[01:57.120]	Chandeliers and lights
[01:58.380]	That shine off of the glasses
[02:00.020]	No hype, and no arseholes.
[02:01.580]	Instead of rotting our guts out
[02:03.070]	In shitty old boozers
[02:04.590]	We can be grown men, listening to music,
[02:07.070]	Real music. Played with heart by real bands,
[02:09.990]	Not just posers looking like they’re
[02:11.580]	Giving blowjobs to mic stands.
[02:13.750]	And I’ll be in a waistcoat, dead grand.
[02:16.110]	Harry’s Place.
[02:17.260]	Or, at least, that’s the plan.’
[02:18.970]
[02:19.140]	She was half listening,
[02:20.410]	Half not listening.
[02:21.550]	Kept getting distracted by the lights flickering.
[02:24.420]	He looks like an outline that needs filling in.
[02:27.290]	He leans in close, starts whispering:
[02:29.470]
[02:30.410]	‘The thing is, and it’s weird,
[02:31.830]	I never felt so able,
[02:33.140]	To talk like this to anybody, ever,
[02:36.080]	Recently Becky, I’ve been really feeling the pressure.
[02:38.660]	I can’t tell you how good it is
[02:39.990]	To get this off my chest.’
[02:41.540]
[02:42.080]	Becky’s holding tight to her glass.
[02:43.980]	Good coke, brain fast.
[02:45.330]	She watches his face as he talks.
[02:47.240]	Little bump on her fingertips
[02:49.110]	Expert. Quick snort.
[02:50.560]	Sucking on a cigarette, feeling vaguely bored.
[02:53.250]
[02:53.690]	It’s true if you believe it.
[02:56.240]	The world is the world
[02:57.460]	But it’s all how you see it.
[02:59.590]	One man’s flash of lightning ripping through the air
[03:02.280]	Is another’s passing glare, hardly there.
[03:05.210]	It’s true if you believe it.
[03:07.080]	The world is the world
[03:08.930]	But it’s all how you see it.
[03:11.040]	One man’s flash of lightning ripping through the air
[03:13.780]	Is another’s passing glare, hardly there.
[03:15.420]
[03:17.430]	‘If I’m being honest, well it is,
[03:19.050]	It’s like a trap,
[03:20.100]	I ain’t trying to be flash
[03:21.280]	I just need to raise the cash for the dream.
[03:22.410]	I hardly touch it myself
[03:24.300]	Look, it ain’t that
[03:25.430]	But once I set myself a task,
[03:26.800]	Well, there ain’t no going back.
[03:28.210]	And I am halfway there,
[03:29.670]	I am, nearly, anyway,
[03:31.440]	The point is,
[03:32.640]	I kinda had to push all of my friends away.
[03:34.000]	I can’t have nobody
[03:35.750]	Knowing what I’m up to
[03:37.010]	I keep it very secret but the thing is
[03:39.180]	I would love to,
[03:40.320]	Just for one day,
[03:41.320]	You know, live like any other guy.
[03:43.030]	I can’t have a girlfriend, you see
[03:44.700]	‘Cause I don’t like to lie.
[03:45.960]	It’s safer all round
[03:46.940]	That I just keep my head down.
[03:48.190]	And, yeah, the business is booming,
[03:49.690]	Yeah, the business is really booming.
[03:51.370]	But my family think I work in recruitment
[03:53.820]	So, I get up every morning
[03:55.620]	And I put a shirt and suit on
[03:57.280]	And I get on a train, I go up town.
[03:59.150]	It’s all professional users.
[04:00.970]	I sell in the boardrooms and not the boozers
[04:02.980]	To, like, CEOs and these modern day Scrooges
[04:05.930]	Who get their secretaries to bring me coffee,
[04:08.350]	It’s so stupid.
[04:09.120]	Meant to be hard times, right, a recession?
[04:11.460]	But these guys are buying more than ever, I reckon
[04:14.680]	And I…
[04:15.240]
[04:15.740]	He’s got nice eyes,
[04:16.400]	Shame about his issues, though.
[04:17.470]	The party pushes on, her cynicism’s getting vicious,
[04:20.090]	Show nothing,
[04:20.860]	Keep smiling.
[04:21.720]
[04:21.940]	She catches the eye of her mates,
[04:23.320]	They’re dancing by the bar
[04:24.860]	They’re in a state.
[04:25.820]	Nod for ‘save me’
[04:26.780]	They understand, dance over,
[04:28.690]	Put their arms around her shoulders -
[04:30.200]	‘Becky, we’re bored, let’s go’.
[04:32.300]	His mouth slows to a stop,
[04:33.700]	He seems to lose his composure,
[04:35.000]	She smiles at him
[04:36.150]	‘Yeah, was nice getting to know ya.’
[04:37.420]
[04:37.820]	No, not like that, don’t leave.
[04:39.740]	Please.
[04:41.470]	Don’t make her go, we’ve just got started.
[04:43.990]
[04:44.430]	Their teeth are bare, their feet are planted
[04:46.130]	Their smirking at him like he’s dirt,
[04:47.900]	And now his heart is
[04:48.930]	Damp with the fury of
[04:50.710]	Finding and losing
[04:52.090]	This miracle girl.
[04:53.200]	He feels weak with confusion, like
[04:55.200]	What had he said?
[04:56.370]	How long had he talked?
[04:57.930]	He watches them walk to the doors
[04:59.460]	His blood roars.
[05:00.560]
[05:00.840]	In the back of the cab, the girls sit there giggling.
[05:03.470]	The driver lets them smoke out of the window
[05:05.370]	So they’re shivering.
[05:06.450]	They pass a bottle of wine back and forth
[05:08.430]	Let it clash against their teeth.
[05:10.030]	The cab moves fast through the streets.
[05:11.810]	‘Who was that guy you was with?’
[05:14.340]	Becky shakes her head softly,
[05:15.890]	‘Him? I don’t know, probably alright,
[05:18.090]	But I could tell he was one of them “save me” types,
[05:20.700]	And I couldn’t be dealing with that.
[05:22.450]	Not tonight.’
[05:23.870]

[00:00.000]	Everywhere is monsters.
[00:01.450]	Tits out, wetmouthed, heads back.

[05:22.450]	Not tonight.'
[05:23.870]

[00:00.000]	Everywhere is monsters.
[00:01.450]	Tits out, wetmouthed, heads back.
[00:03.570]	Shouting and screaming just to prove they exist.
[00:06.000]
[00:06.670]	Becky' s at the bar with the usual mix
[00:08.970]	Of decadent fabrics and desolate lighting.
[00:12.340]	Everybody here has got a hyphenated second name.
[00:15.270]	Blowing more breeze
[00:16.340]	Than the wind at the weather vane.
[00:17.870]
[00:18.390]	Industry slimeballs, showbiz bigdeals.
[00:20.960]	The cool new band with the retro feel,
[00:23.280]	It' s the wrap party for their video.
[00:25.390]	Becky danced in it.
[00:26.560]	The director, Marshall Law,
[00:28.080]	Head to toe in yellow velour,
[00:29.790]	Is holding court about the science of image
[00:32.080]	While the sycophants giggle and grimace.
[00:34.120]	Becky fidgets, tells herself,
[00:36.100]	' Must stop being so cynical,
[00:38.140]	Everybody here is a human,
[00:40.390]	Even these pitiful posturing pop stars and idiots.'
[00:43.850]	She tells herself to look again
[00:45.700]	Nothing is hideous.
[00:46.530]
[00:46.950]	So while Marshall Law is wanking on about his artwork
[00:49.610]	She smiles at the guy opposite,
[00:51.270]	Bright eyes, dark shirt.
[00:52.500]	He raises his eyebrows in the direction of Marshall.
[00:55.510]	' My name' s Becky,' she says,
[00:57.610]	' What' s yours?'
[00:58.440]
[00:58.720]	She was like nothing that he' d seen before.
[01:01.000]	Strong body, soft edges, with something so raw
[01:03.920]	In the core of her iris.
[01:05.210]	He said his name, ' Harry'.
[01:06.950]	And never in his life had he felt so happy.
[01:09.680]	They got talking,
[01:10.950]	Free bar. Exhausting decorum
[01:12.760]	He drank until she was so absorbing
[01:14.810]	He blanked out the party.
[01:16.220]	The floor spun, he stared at her face and felt sure,
[01:19.040]	Something was happening here.
[01:21.210]
[01:21.600]	He was kinda nervous,
[01:22.700]	His eyes kept doing circuits of the room.
[01:24.490]	He drank as fast as they could serve him,
[01:26.500]	Then this dude comes over,
[01:27.820]	Sticks out a thick hand,
[01:29.500]	And Harry looks at her
[01:30.770]	Like he' s just found himself in quicksand.
[01:32.760]	He gives this guy a wrap, they shake hands
[01:34.950]	Sweaty cash passed between palms,
[01:36.870]	No fuss. Bish bash, yes, bosh.
[01:39.160]	He looked at her guiltily,
[01:40.510]	She waved it off, smiling
[01:42.120]	' You a shotter then, right?
[01:43.380]	I don' t care.'
[01:44.290]
[01:44.570]	' Becky, all I ever wanted was a place of my own.'
[01:47.070]	His eyes, wide and trusting,
[01:48.570]	He' s staring at her, desperate for something to click.
[01:51.320]	He is opening up. This is it.
[01:53.450]	' A real classy place, the whole bit,
[01:55.490]	Like a speakeasy, right?
[01:57.120]	Chandeliers and lights
[01:58.380]	That shine off of the glasses
[02:00.020]	No hype, and no arseholes.
[02:01.580]	Instead of rotting our guts out
[02:03.070]	In shitty old boozers
[02:04.590]	We can be grown men, listening to music,
[02:07.070]	Real music. Played with heart by real bands,
[02:09.990]	Not just posers looking like they' re
[02:11.580]	Giving blowjobs to mic stands.
[02:13.750]	And I' ll be in a waistcoat, dead grand.
[02:16.110]	Harry' s Place.
[02:17.260]	Or, at least, that' s the plan.'
[02:18.970]
[02:19.140]	She was half listening,
[02:20.410]	Half not listening.
[02:21.550]	Kept getting distracted by the lights flickering.
[02:24.420]	He looks like an outline that needs filling in.
[02:27.290]	He leans in close, starts whispering:
[02:29.470]
[02:30.410]	' The thing is, and it' s weird,
[02:31.830]	I never felt so able,
[02:33.140]	To talk like this to anybody, ever,
[02:36.080]	Recently Becky, I' ve been really feeling the pressure.
[02:38.660]	I can' t tell you how good it is
[02:39.990]	To get this off my chest.'
[02:41.540]
[02:42.080]	Becky' s holding tight to her glass.
[02:43.980]	Good coke, brain fast.
[02:45.330]	She watches his face as he talks.
[02:47.240]	Little bump on her fingertips
[02:49.110]	Expert. Quick snort.
[02:50.560]	Sucking on a cigarette, feeling vaguely bored.
[02:53.250]
[02:53.690]	It' s true if you believe it.
[02:56.240]	The world is the world
[02:57.460]	But it' s all how you see it.
[02:59.590]	One man' s flash of lightning ripping through the air
[03:02.280]	Is another' s passing glare, hardly there.
[03:05.210]	It' s true if you believe it.
[03:07.080]	The world is the world
[03:08.930]	But it' s all how you see it.
[03:11.040]	One man' s flash of lightning ripping through the air
[03:13.780]	Is another' s passing glare, hardly there.
[03:15.420]
[03:17.430]	' If I' m being honest, well it is,
[03:19.050]	It' s like a trap,
[03:20.100]	I ain' t trying to be flash
[03:21.280]	I just need to raise the cash for the dream.
[03:22.410]	I hardly touch it myself
[03:24.300]	Look, it ain' t that
[03:25.430]	But once I set myself a task,
[03:26.800]	Well, there ain' t no going back.
[03:28.210]	And I am halfway there,
[03:29.670]	I am, nearly, anyway,
[03:31.440]	The point is,
[03:32.640]	I kinda had to push all of my friends away.
[03:34.000]	I can' t have nobody
[03:35.750]	Knowing what I' m up to
[03:37.010]	I keep it very secret but the thing is
[03:39.180]	I would love to,
[03:40.320]	Just for one day,
[03:41.320]	You know, live like any other guy.
[03:43.030]	I can' t have a girlfriend, you see
[03:44.700]	' Cause I don' t like to lie.
[03:45.960]	It' s safer all round
[03:46.940]	That I just keep my head down.
[03:48.190]	And, yeah, the business is booming,
[03:49.690]	Yeah, the business is really booming.
[03:51.370]	But my family think I work in recruitment
[03:53.820]	So, I get up every morning
[03:55.620]	And I put a shirt and suit on
[03:57.280]	And I get on a train, I go up town.
[03:59.150]	It' s all professional users.
[04:00.970]	I sell in the boardrooms and not the boozers
[04:02.980]	To, like, CEOs and these modern day Scrooges
[04:05.930]	Who get their secretaries to bring me coffee,
[04:08.350]	It' s so stupid.
[04:09.120]	Meant to be hard times, right, a recession?
[04:11.460]	But these guys are buying more than ever, I reckon
[04:14.680]	And I
[04:15.240]
[04:15.740]	He' s got nice eyes,
[04:16.400]	Shame about his issues, though.
[04:17.470]	The party pushes on, her cynicism' s getting vicious,
[04:20.090]	Show nothing,
[04:20.860]	Keep smiling.
[04:21.720]
[04:21.940]	She catches the eye of her mates,
[04:23.320]	They' re dancing by the bar
[04:24.860]	They' re in a state.
[04:25.820]	Nod for ' save me'
[04:26.780]	They understand, dance over,
[04:28.690]	Put their arms around her shoulders
[04:30.200]	' Becky, we' re bored, let' s go'.
[04:32.300]	His mouth slows to a stop,
[04:33.700]	He seems to lose his composure,
[04:35.000]	She smiles at him
[04:36.150]	' Yeah, was nice getting to know ya.'
[04:37.420]
[04:37.820]	No, not like that, don' t leave.
[04:39.740]	Please.
[04:41.470]	Don' t make her go, we' ve just got started.
[04:43.990]
[04:44.430]	Their teeth are bare, their feet are planted
[04:46.130]	Their smirking at him like he' s dirt,
[04:47.900]	And now his heart is
[04:48.930]	Damp with the fury of
[04:50.710]	Finding and losing
[04:52.090]	This miracle girl.
[04:53.200]	He feels weak with confusion, like
[04:55.200]	What had he said?
[04:56.370]	How long had he talked?
[04:57.930]	He watches them walk to the doors
[04:59.460]	His blood roars.
[05:00.560]
[05:00.840]	In the back of the cab, the girls sit there giggling.
[05:03.470]	The driver lets them smoke out of the window
[05:05.370]	So they' re shivering.
[05:06.450]	They pass a bottle of wine back and forth
[05:08.430]	Let it clash against their teeth.
[05:10.030]	The cab moves fast through the streets.
[05:11.810]	' Who was that guy you was with?'
[05:14.340]	Becky shakes her head softly,
[05:15.890]	' Him? I don' t know, probably alright,
[05:18.090]	But I could tell he was one of them " save me" types,
[05:20.700]	And I couldn' t be dealing with that.
[05:22.450]	Not tonight.'
