to me and so much older.

It doesn't really work.

I'm fine on my own, you know?

It's just, I don't want Ivonka

to grow up without a father.

What's the Czech for...

"Do you love him?"

Noor-esh-ho?

Noor-esh-ho?

So...

Noor-esh-ho?

Noor-ho-tebbe.

What?

Come on, let's go.

What'd you say?

- Tell me.

- You've got to teach me how to ride

- the bike now, eh?

- No way.

- Yeah.

- No.

So come on, can I have a go?

No.

Please.

No, leave it alone, will you?

But teach me how to

drive it, will you?

Come on, just once.

No, it's not mine.

Me dad would go

f***ing crazy.

But he's not here now.

Be careful, will you!

Be careful,

for f***'s sake.

Look, he's not

here now.

- Just teach me.

- Look, my dad. Look. No, no, no.

- No?

- No.

- Please?

- No.

Me dad will go

bleedin' mental.

He totally loves this thing.

Yeah, but you drive it.

Yeah, he doesn't

know I have it.

He doesn't?

No.

Well, then he won't

know I had it, too.

No.

You can't have a go on it.

Just once.

No.

- Turn it on for me.

- No.

No.

Come on, give

us the keys.

I'll do it myself.

The key's in it.

Thank you for the ride.

I'll see you

tomorrow, yeah?

- For rehearsals.

- Okay, yeah.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

# Tying to pull myself away #

# I'm caught in a pattern

and I can't escape #

# I'm trying

to pull myselfaway... #

# Lately, when I get back,

there's this thing I know... #

# Everything comes

to you, way to go #

# Even a heart has

something to learn... #

Thanks, Dad.

All right, guys,

this is Eamon.

He's going to

take care of you

for the weekend.

Eamon, this is everyone.

Kit's set up.

Piano is waiting for you

in the live room.

Tea and coffee in the kitchen

as you came in. Help yourselves.

You'll need plenty.

And there is a nice

little burrito place

around the corner if you

want a snack, all right?

Great.

Okay, Eamon,

leave it to you.

Good luck, everyone.

Enjoy. And I might pop in

later, all right?

- Cheers, man.

- Cheers, thanks.

Okay, guys,

good to meet you.

We've a few little

bits and pieces

to set up.

I want to check

the drums inside.

We've already set up the kit.

Yeah, I just want to, you know,

check them for sound.

I checked them already; it's fine.

Okay, we need to set up mics

on them for recording, yeah?

Oh.

Have you done much recording?

- No.

- No.

No.

- Right. Let's get cracking.

- Yeah.

(tuning up)

Yeah, no, I can't

do it now, love.

I'm stuck here in the studio

with this bunch

of f***ing oddballs.

Can you hang on a second?

Just one second.

(strums guitar)

Okay, are you ready to rock?

Are we ready?

Yep. We're in tune.

So Al and Timmy,

on the second verse, just...

this is pretty much

simple enough thing.

It's in five-four,

and the second verse,

I'll give you a nod

to come in there, yeah?

Is that all right? And you're in

from the top with me, yeah?

And you know what you're doing.

All right, then, so, uh...

whenever you're ready, yeah.

(talking on phone quietly)

All right, later.

Okay, we're ready. Fire one.

You sure you're ready?

Okay, listen now for

the click track, everybody.

And away we go.

This is track one,

take one, yeah.

All right, lads, here we go,

this is it, yeah.

(guitar strumming melody)

# So #

# If you want something #

# And you call, call #

# Then I'll come running #

# To fight #

# And I'll be at your door #

# When there's nothing

worth running for #

# When your mind's made up #

# When your mind's

made up #

# There's no point

trying to change it #

# When your mind's made up #

# When your mind's

made up #

# There's no point

trying to stop it #

# You see #

# You're just like everyone #

# When the sh*t falls #

# All you want to do

is run away #

# And hide all by yourself #

# When you're far from me #

# There's nothing else #

# When your mind's made up #

# When your mind's

made up #

# There's no point trying

to change it #

# When your mind's made up #

# When your mind's

made up #

# There's no point

even talking #

# When your mind's made up #

# When your mind's

made up #

# There's no point

trying to fight it #

# When your mind's #

# Your mind's #

# Made #

# Up... #

# Ah #

# There's no point trying

to change it #

# When your #

# 0h #

# Ooh, ooh #

# So... if you ever

want something #

# And you call, call #

# Then I'll come running. #

(sighs)

Okay.

Wow.

That was nice.

Did you write that?

Yeah.

(synth beat)

# You must have

fallen from the sky #

# You must have shattered

in the runway #

(music continues)

# You need somewhere

to fall apart #

(continues)

# Someone to fall upon #

(continues)

# That fools the bulls #

# The powdered hag #

(continues)

(music ends)

Okay, what do you think?

I think it's f***ing weird.

There's a couple of little tech bits,

we can probably fix them,

but uh, you know, it's 4:00 in the morning,

so it's up to you guys.

Do you want to push through

or go for another one?

I'd love to keep going

if everybody is into it.

Can I have a cup of tea

or something first?

Want a cup of tea?

- You want to take ten or 15, yeah?

- Sure.

I'll tweak what I can.

You guys take ten.

Guys, why do you think there

are no blonde priests?

- I don't know.

- I don't know.

This is great.

(playing lush melody)

How's it going?

Good.

I don't think we're supposed

to be here, though.

Ah, it's all right.

This is beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a beautiful piano,

like a Baldwin.

It's a perfect piano.

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

Play us one of your songs.

Hmm... They're

all half-written and more ideas.

Go on, I'd love to hear one.

Okay, I have one,

but... it's not finished and I...

I don't really...

Just play it, I know.

Okay, but the lyrics

are very rough, okay?

- It'll be great.

- Okay.

# Walking up the hill

tonight #

# When you have closed

your eyes #

# I wish I didn't have

to make #

# All those mistakes

and be wise #

# But please try

to be patient #

# And know

that I'm still learning #

# I'm sorry

that you have to see #

# The strength inside me

burning #

# And where are you,

my angel, now? #

# Don't you see me crying? #

# I know that you can't

do it all #

# But you can't say

I'm not trying #

# And I'm letting myself down #

# By satisfying you #

# I really wish

that you could see #

# I... #

You all right?

(sighs)

Did you write that

for your husband?

(laughing):

Yes, I did,

and he didn't like it.

What an idiot.

Yeah, he's an idiot.

(sighing)

Come on away to London with me.

Come on, we'll write loads of

songs and live in a nice flat.

You can bring Ivonka over,

it'll be brilliant.

Come on.

Yeah, we'll go to London

and no one will ever

find us again.

- No one.

- No one.

We'll have a brilliant band.

We'll sell out all the places

and it'll be great.

And we'll make

an album together?

I'd love that, come on.

Yeah, and, and I'll do

the backing vocals on it?

Yeah, and play

the piano.

Mm-hmm.
