# I wonder if you could

ever despise me #

# When you know I really tried #

# To be a better one #

# To satisfy you #

# For you're everything to me #

# And I'll do what you ask me #

# If you let me be free #

# If you want me #

# Satisfy me #

# If you want me #

# Satisfy me #

# If you want me #

# Satisfy me #

# If you want me #

# Satisfy me #

# Escalated #

# Little cracks they escalated #

# From back inside comes #

# Lies, lies #

# Breaking... #

# When will... #

When will you learn?

When will you learn?

# I think it's time

we give it up #

# And figure out

what's stopping us #

# From breathing easy #

# And talking straight #

# The way is clear

if you're ready now #

# The volunteer

is slowing down #

# And taking time #

# To save himself #

# The little cracks,

they escalated #

# Before we knew

it was too late #

# For making circles #

# And telling lies #

# And I, I can't

keep up with you #

# Maybe if you

slowed down for me #

# I could see

you're only telling #

# Lies, lies, lies #

# Breaking us down with your #

# Lies, lies, lies #

# When will you learn? #

(piano plays)

# The little cracks,

they escalated #

# Before we knew

it was too late #

# For making circles #

# And telling lies #

# And I, I can't keep up with you #

# Maybe if you'd

slow down for me #

# I could see

you're only telling #

# Lies, lies, lies #

# Breaking us down with your #

# Lies, lies, lies #

# When will you learn? #

# So plant the thought #

Would you like to buy a flower?

- Hi. How are you?

- How's it going?

Pretty good.

- Pretty good.

- Good to see you.

I'm going to go to

London, I've decided.

- Good.

- Yeah.

That's great.

Yeah, it's good,

it makes sense.

Well done.

When are you going?

I'm going

to go Monday.

Wow, that's, that's soon.

You'll get

your girlfriend back,

and you'll get

your record deal, and...

- become famous.

- Yeah, right.

- Good.

- But listen,

I was thinking, I was

thinking before I go,

I want to make a recording

of a few songs.

A couple of the songs

I was playing you,

and I really liked the way

you played and your singing.

So, if you feel like, would

you be into playing along?

Like what we

were playing on?

- I would sing and play?

- Yeah.

I'd love that.

Really? Cool.

- So you'd be in my band for a few days.

- Yeah.

Well, that's the first thing

I've got sorted out.

Now I just need to sort

everything else out.

All right, guys, welcome.

Now, so let me

give you the tour.

That is your

live rooms in there.

This is a new desk.

You got your hard drive and

you got your outboard gear.

Now all in all

we're talking about

three grand

for a weekend of...

- Three?

- Yeah.

Three grand, that's pretty good.

You must be crazy.

$3,000

Well, have a look around.

You've everything

you need.

- What do you think, is it good?

- (softly):
It's pretty good.

We'll give you one.

(chuckles)

I'm sorry.

Have you heard

this guy's songs?

I haven't yet, no.

He's great.

Okay, but, uh,

listen, I can fill

this place in an hour.

One and a half then,

that's my limit.

We can talk about two.

We don't talk.

We shake.

We shake on two, yeah?

Shake now?

All right.

Two thousand.

She drives a hard bargain.

She's a tough cookie.

So you like this shop?

I buy all my clothes here.

It's good for me, you know?

Cheap.

Nice fashions.

Okay, you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

That's good. That will do.

Do you like it?

You're gorgeous.

All right, can we go?

(tape clicks on)

# #

(man singing on tape)

# #

The quality is poor,

but if we can get

a professional tape,

I'm, I'm satisfied that he

can secure a lucrative deal.

You take it home, you,

you listen to it.

You play it to your boss.

I'm sure you can

get him to approve.

Can I show you something?

# I want to be free #

# I want to be me #

# I want you to bayou #

(music continues)

(ends)

Nice one, lads.

How's it going?

How's it going?

All right.

Good, how is it today?

Is it slow?

Have a look

there yourself.

Is that it? Is that it?

That's how it's

going at the moment.

Listen, I wanted

to ask you,

as myself and herself

are making a tape...

How's it going?

All right?

of a few songs down

at Samson's Studios

and I was just wondering, if

you were around next weekend,

for, to, if you'd be

interested in doing it.

A bit of recording?

Bit of recording, yeah?

Yeah, doing Lizzy

stuff. or...?

No, it's not Lizzy,

it's me own songs.

We only do Lizzy.

Really. It's one

of our things.

That sort of stuff. Is it, sort

of rocky Lizzy stuff or...?

- No. No, it's not.

- Yeah,

Singer-songwriter stuff?

It's kind of singer-songwriter, yeah.

- Kinda...

- Is it any good?

- Uh...

- It's great.

Is it?

Well, look, like I said,

I don't really know

much about them,

but they seem

like nice people.

Yeah. I just have to

call my mother first.

- Then we go.

- Cool.

Great, great.

(speaking Czech)

(hanging up)

Okay, come on,

we can go.

Cool.

(buzz of conversation)

Food's ready! Everybody

get your plates ready!

- Hello?

- Hi, how are you?

Come on in, kids!

Take a seat!

Everything all right

here, folks?

Yeah, brilliant.

Enjoying the party?

Yeah.

Great to see you here.

- Can you sing?

- (laughing)

If you can't sing,

you're out.

# There's one request

I'll ask of you #

# When your liberty you gave #

# Remember Mitchell far away #

# A convict bound in chains. #

(applause, cheers)

#... mine that once held

this heart of mine. #

(cheers, whistles)

# #

# And I love her so #

# I wouldn't trade her

for gold #

# I'm walking on moonbeams #

# I was born

with a silver spoon #

# Hell, I'm gonna be me #

# I'm gonna be free #

# I'm walking on moonbeams #

# Staring out to sea #

# And if a door be closed #

# Then a row of homes

start building #

# And tear your curtains down #

# For sunlight is like gold #

# Hell, you better be you #

(music continues)

(horn beeping)

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I just came out.

You want to go for a spin?

That's your bike?

It's me dad's.

He absolutely loves it,

but I've robbed it

off him for the day.

If he knew,

he'd kill me.

Would he?

So do you fancy a spin, no?

I'd love to,

but I have to go to work.

That's cool.

Another time, yeah?

and see if you were

into going now.

Could you have me back by lunch?

Yeah, totally.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Fancy it?

Great.

(music continues)

(ends)

You're what?

You're married.

Does it surprise you?

F***'s sake.

Yeah.

When?

Two years ago, when I find out

I'm pregnant with Ivonka.

(sighs)

So where is he?

He's back in

Czech Republic.

It's over now and, you know,

I come here on my own.

(sighs)

Man.

You all right?

(exhales)

What's the Czech

for "ocean"?

Ott-san.

Ott-san.

Pretty much the same.

Otsan.

So what are

you gonna do?

I don't know.

There's such distance

between me and him.

He's so much different
