Somers Town Page #4

Please.

There's only half a bottle left,

I've only had like two swigs.

- Please.

- Don't have loads, then.

Thank you.

By the way, have you ever drunk...

have you ever drunk before?

- No.

- You've had like two swigs

and you're all over the shop.

You don't even know what you're saying.

Look at you.

What you staring at?

You're out of your head.

Why did anything good

never happen to me?

Oh, stop crying and don't be big baby.

I'm not crying and I'm not a big baby, am I?

It's called love, son.

You don't love her more than me.

Well, obviously I do!

You've got long hair and a stupid accent.

You've got stupid clothes.

- So?

- So.

I can just go nick some from a shop.

You can't change the way you speak.

Anyway, let's not fall out over a girl.

How much money have we got?

I don't know. Ten pounds.

That's all.

Just a tenner?

OK.

Right, then, let's forget about Maria.

Get wasted.

No!

You look like a German!

It's mine!

Yeah! Ah-ha!

Let's turn this up a bit.

Whoo!

Ah-oo!

Three, two, one, go!

Ha! Ah-ah!

Hoo!

He's turned the music off.

- Tomo!

- Is this your dad?

I think so.

All right, mate?

What?

What?

Any chance of a trans...

What?

What?

- I don't know who are you.

- I'm Tomo.

But, but...

Please.

I want, put on your clothes and leave.

- Yeah, mate.

- At once.

I'll put them on, I'll take myself out.

Hey, out!

- Please, please!

- Out!

Out!

Oh!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

- Where am I?

- Barbados.

Cup of tea there.

Oh!

Do you remember what 'appened last night?

It's nice, this. Great cooking.

Good.

Banging headache.

Look, why don't you just go home, son?

You're gonna get yourself into all sorts

of trouble if you stay down here.

- You know that, don't you?

- Well, I can't go home and I like it here.

What d'you mean, you can't go 'ome?

If it's money,

I'll lend you the money to get 'ome.

It's not money.

I've just got nothing to go home to.

- What, no 'ome?

- No.

- No relatives or nothing?

- No.

Well, look, you can stay 'ere

for a bit, right,

but you're gonna 'ave to 'elp me out.

I mean, when I say "Jump",

you're gonna say "How high?"

Yeah?

Help me out, do whatever I say,

whatever I tell you to do.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Not in like a sexual way or summat.

Sex? No! Sexual way?

What you talking about?

No, not a sexual way!

- Mm-hm.

- Mm-hm.

Hm.

OK.

Ohh!

- Lovely day, innit?

- Yeah.

Mm. The sun's shining.

Look at that station, it's amazing.

It's very huge.

Massive.

Maybe,

like one weekend, we could

save up some money.

Go... Obviously because we're not even

two minutes away from the station,

just get on the train and just go,

for a weekend.

Can you imagine that, just us two?

OK.

If you want, I can ask my dad

to get us cheaper tickets.

He works there.

Really?

Cool, definitely.

It'd be fun, wouldn't it?

It'd just be like a bit of a road trip

between me and you.

Like, just best mates going to Paris.

See the Eiffel Tower,

eat croissants, drink red wine,

cheese, bread.

It'd be good.

Just see Maria

and just have a laugh with her,

Iike we did the other day.

I mean, it wouldn't be hard to find her.

I mean, she's a beautiful girl.

Yeah, she is.

Yeah.

And she must be popular in Paris.

So... I just hope she ain't got a boyfriend.

Anyway...

I'm gonna get back to

the head polishing.

Polish.

Good old Brasso.

Yeah.

- What you gonna do?

- I am staying here.

- You'll stay here?

- Yeah.

All right, then, mate, well, I'll

maybe come down in a bit

we'll go over to the park or just...

- OK.

...just go out for a bit, yeah?

All right, I'll see you in a bit, mate.

- See you later.

- See you later.

# They said the hand of God

delivered the blow

# But all that I know

# It wasn't him that nearly killed you

# I let you down,

I never carried you home

# I left you alone

# To fend there for yourself

# I see you out sometimes

enjoying the square

# The mademoiselles

# With faces filled with sadness

# For all that you gained,

you still remember me

# When I speak

# I'll remember where I'm from

# Well, it's a long way back

to the Medway

# It's a long way back to the school

# It's a long way back to the Coliseum

# When we had faces too

# When we had faces too

# Sometimes I go back, but I never stay

# Just wasting away

# The world that we grew up in

# One day you will see me

down on the Strand

# And when you hear me speak

# You'll remember where you're from #

# Come on, open up the windows

# Yeah, I'm reeling in the heat

# You know I wanna hear

the planes flying over

# You know I wanna hear the street

# Seems like we've been here a long year

# Living here with bated breath

# You've been looking for an angle

# And I've been waiting for a death

# No, there's only a few of us left

# There's only a few of us left

# There are only a few of us left

# That I remember

# Well, we were walking through

the old town

# And I remember the place

# You were checking your reflection

# In the shop front's mirrored glass

# I saw the glory of a new love

# Oh, this pain, this restlessness

# Some days I feel better

# Oh, and some days I feel less

# There's only a few of us left

# But, oh, there's only a few of us left

# There's only a few of us left

# But we got hope #
