[00:00.16]In Giuseppe’s
[00:00.99]The tablecloths *******ne with wear
[00:02.65]The chairs are threadbare
[00:04.19]But look happy to be sitting there
[00:05.81]Becky’s ca*******ng up
[00:06.95]It’s the end of her *******ft
[00:08.30]Her Uncle Ron’s at the counter
[00:09.71]Drinking a Gin Fizz
[00:11.02]It’s his place, he gave her the work
[00:13.68]He’s like a dad to her
[00:15.16]For better or worse
[00:16.61]For now, he stabs at a lemon rind with a toothpick
[00:19.47]‘What’s the matter, Ron,’ Becky says
[00:21.19]‘Are you sick?’
[00:22.41]He shakes his head, says ‘Troubles I got…’
[00:25.63]And she waits for more
[00:26.51]Focusing on a spot
[00:28.06]On the top of his head
[00:29.37]She ain’t noticed before
[00:30.72]But suddenly her Uncle Rags
[00:32.08]Comes strutting through the door
[00:33.52]Becky sees that this means business
[00:36.57]Some things she ain’t supposed to know
[00:39.19]Ron smiles at her with thin lips
[00:42.33]‘Right,’ says Becky, ‘time I go.’
[00:43.69]Blood is thicker than ignorance
[00:47.34]Blood is richer than oil
[00:50.00]But love is what’s truly significant
[00:53.14]To the victor the spoils
[00:56.13]To the kids who can toil
[00:59.33]To the kids who can work
[01:01.99]Know that nothing’s worth *******t ‘til it’s difficult
[01:04.19]And nothing don’t heal ‘til it hurts
[01:07.59]They call him Rags
[01:08.23]Why?
[01:08.88]‘Cause he leaves bodies in tatters
[01:10.18]Not the type of man to be flattered
[01:12.66]Eyes like patches on a blood stained mattress
[01:15.83]Taps on the window and it shatters
[01:18.43]For now he sits down heavily
[01:20.10]His voice is soft
[01:21.23]‘Some junior, Joey, trying to play boss
[01:24.00]Thought he could run a scam
[01:25.56]And now we lost about a key and a half
[01:28.88]Whatever, a small cost to find a snake in the grass
[01:31.08]And, yeah, Pico ain’t happy
[01:32.54]But, you know, well, the game plays on
[01:35.89]We think the kid’s called Harry
[01:38.54]But we might be wrong.’
[01:40.55]‘So we’re looking for him, yeah?’
[01:41.79]‘Well, we were but it all got hot
[01:43.60]You know, Pico’s inside
[01:44.76]Too much eyes, so we stopped
[01:46.59]Cut your losses
[01:47.44]But the bosses
[01:48.10]Would prefer some bodies
[01:49.34]I’m getting too old for that now
[01:50.68]I get my jollies
[01:52.31]Just sitting down fi*******ng
[01:53.70]Yeah, It’s good to have a hobby
[01:55.06]Keeps you on your toes
[01:56.51]When your knees are getting wobbly.’
[01:58.01]‘So after all that,’
[01:59.12]Ron breathes out stale air
[02:00.78]‘There’s no ******* panic?!’
[02:02.28]Rags gets up. ‘Take care mate
[02:04.33]I got a date with a lady in Mayfair
[02:06.08]Put your knives away
[02:07.86]And let them stay there.’
[02:09.34]Blood is thicker than ignorance
[02:11.97]Blood is richer than oil
[02:14.41]But love is what’s truly significant
[02:17.11]To the victor the spoils
[02:20.58]To the kids who can toil
[02:23.45]To the kids who can work
[02:26.37]Know that nothing’s worth *******t ‘til it’s difficult
[02:28.49]And nothing don’t heal ‘til it hurts
[02:31.88]If I found this guy Harry
[02:33.07]Maybe Pico would be pleased?
[02:34.44]Call my debts off
[02:35.73]And I could get up off my knees?
[02:37.33]Ron looks around at the café that he loves
[02:40.10]Thinks how good it would be
[02:41.52]If he could wash off all the blood
[02:42.84]All that money from them grubby men
[02:44.64]He’d start again
[02:45.37]And spruce it up
[02:46.08]Call it ‘Rebecca’s’
[02:46.93]In nice clear letters
[02:48.56]He pushes his mop across the floor
[02:51.07]And then he shakes his head as he locks the door
[02:53.99]Best be happy with the way things are
[02:57.02]It’s not good to want for more
