[00:09.54]It’s midnight in the metropolis
[00:11.19]Winter is coming
[00:12.25]Harry’s in the hallway
[00:13.58]Counting out his money
[00:14.99]Leon’s in the kitchen
[00:16.26]Sharpening knives
[00:17.46]The moonlight whispers
[00:18.79]In the dark of the skies
[00:19.89]Leon and Harry
[00:21.46]Friends since before they could say the word ‘friend’
[00:23.76]Two sides of the same coin
[00:25.19]Two-man industry, they play it very cool
[00:26.75]Harry’s got the plans, Leon’s got the heavy tools
[00:30.35]Sell at high price to discerning clientele
[00:32.67]But tonight Harry’s worried, though
[00:34.38]‘Cause Leon’s high as hell
[00:35.52]With an unfamiliar glimmer in his eye
[00:37.19]Looks like it might be a difficult night
[00:40.84]You’ve got to take it as it comes
[00:42.20]You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do
[00:44.28]Until you get it done
[00:45.64]You’ve got to know what you’re in it for
[00:47.83]And don’t stop ‘til you got what you’re living for
[00:50.10]It’s horrible in Paradise
[00:52.32]Harry’s at the bar, sipping lager
[00:53.97]Leon’s in the corner with a Pina Colada
[00:56.40]And two girls, Rachel and Renata
[00:58.52]Keeping one eye on Harry
[00:59.92]And the other on the dancefloor
[01:01.25]Sounds of laughter
[01:02.93]Harry stares ahead of him
[01:03.77]The guy standing next him
[01:04.97]Turns to him and he says to him:
[01:06.32]‘I’m a friend of Pico’s, I heard you need the medicine’
[01:08.84]Harry looks him up and down, like
[01:10.37]I don’t like the stench of him
[01:11.67]Without saying anything, Harry’s on his feet
[01:14.21]Walking to the back room, trying to look discreet
[01:16.50]The guy that he’s following is flabby round the middle
[01:18.89]Wearing a blue suit, pink tie, new boots
[01:21.21]Slick hair to the side, little ‘tache
[01:23.35]And he walks with a limp
[01:24.71]He talks with a sort of distorted lisp
[01:26.50]Leon’s on his feet, staying hidden
[01:29.45]As they step into the back room, he slips in with them
[01:31.94]You’ve got to take it as it comes
[01:33.61]You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do
[01:35.46]Until you get it done
[01:36.80]You’ve got to know what you’re in it for
[01:39.13]And don’t stop ‘til you got what you’re living for
[01:41.35]You’ve got to take it as it comes
[01:43.58]You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do
[01:45.65]Until you get it done
[01:46.97]You’ve got to know what you’re in it for
[01:49.18]And keep on, even when it all goes wrong
[01:52.27]The guy says, ‘Call me Joey
[01:53.72]This here is my place
[01:55.13]I’m the King to Pico’s Ace
[01:56.57]And I hope for your sake mate that you ain’t no joker.’
[01:59.48]Harry says nothing
[02:01.33]Joey beckons to the sofa
[02:02.54]They sit either side of a glass-topped tank
[02:05.04]There’s a baby shark inside, about a metre long
[02:07.47]The room is dim lit and the walls are blank
[02:10.07]Joey says, ‘Now we both know that Pico’s gone
[02:12.57]Away for a little while
[02:14.18]Before he left, he said you was a good guy
[02:16.70]No funny business.’
[02:18.07]Joey takes a package from the chest by the desk
[02:20.36]And he puts it on the tank and
[02:22.29]His eyes shine vicious and cold
[02:23.48]Now he’s pouring out a brandy
[02:25.15]Saying, ‘This is premium quality
[02:26.52]Do you understand me?
[02:28.31]Since Pico’s departure, the prices have risen
[02:30.44]It’s double what it used to be
[02:32.34]Ok?’
[02:33.22]Sitting there quietly
[02:34.14]Harry opens up his suitcase
[02:35.89]‘I’ll pay you what I paid him.’
[02:37.27]Joey smiles like his tooth aches
[02:38.45]All lop-sided and strange
[02:40.04]He says, ‘You’ll pay me what I ask for
[02:42.09]Or you walk away with nothing
[02:43.60]You know full well
[02:44.65]It’s the best coke in the country
[02:46.12]You either deal with me or your customers go hungry
[02:48.45]What’s the matter, Harry? You look a little jumpy
[02:50.96]Cat got your tongue or something?’
[02:53.26]Leon’s watching from the corner
[02:55.06]Wondering if he’s bluffing
[02:56.22]Joey’s waiting
[02:57.03]Harry’s saying, ‘No
[02:57.75]No negotiating.’
[02:58.81]Joey says: ‘It’s more pure
[03:00.08]Than what you’ve had before
[03:01.34]This is straight off the boat
[03:02.64]No joke
[03:03.35]Where’s the notes?’
[03:04.06]In a breath, Leon’s out from his hiding place
[03:07.72]Steel toes, hurricane hands, calm face
[03:10.22]Joey drops suddenly
[03:11.53]Like a kid with his first pill
[03:12.76]Harry’s at the stash
[03:14.07]Getting the cash
[03:14.96]Leon works ‘til
[03:15.74]Joey’s just a pattern in the carpet
[03:17.31]Harry shakes his head and puts the package in his jacket
[03:20.80]‘What?’ says Leon
[03:21.70]‘Ain’t worth doing nothing half-hearted.’
[03:23.01]Harry buttons his coat and tries to settle his
[03:25.28]Panic
[03:36.63]You’ve got know what you’re in it for
[03:38.12]And keep on, right?
[03:39.13]Even when it all goes wrong?
