Jesus, what a dump.

And there's no bar on.

There's no frigging bar on.

Drink? Not where

this place is at.

The ace movers pretty

much own the floor.

Don't try doing a thing

over there without an invite.

Who's that? Alan's

the main man.

You don't want to know, I mean,

you really don't want to know.

The floor's been talc-ed.

So? Stack heels feel

like dancing on stilts.

Leather, see? Less friction.

Glide as if you're on ice.

Glide like you're on ice? Ought to

be right up your street, this, Joe.

"Tainted Love"

by Gloria Jones

Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away, I've got to

Get away from the pain you

drive into the heart of me

The love we share

Seems to go nowhere

And I've lost my right

For I toss and turn

I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you

Now I'll run from you

The tainted

love you've given

I give you all a

girl could give you

Take my tears and

that's not nearly all

Oh, tainted love

Tainted love

Now I know I've got to

Run away I've got to

Going for a scout about.

Think I'll get a

feel of things here.

You'll get your black

America here. Rarer than rare.

Hand clappers, foot

stompers, floor fillers.

Get them while

the getting's good.

We've got new Tobi Legend,

Jimmy Radcliffe, Yvonne Baker.

Looking for anyone

in particular?

What? Records.

What you after?

Yvonne Baker.

Storming. Help

you look, shall I?

Here's one, good

price as well.

Jane. Jane!

"Too Late" by Larry

Williams/Johnny Watson

Hey, Sr. Watson, listen in to

what the lady told me. She said

Larry, I'm sorry

I've got to go

Cos I've found me a new

love that I love more

I know that must have been

a bitter pill for you to take

Sure was, man

It make your poor

heart want to break

Guess what I told her?

You and your new love

Keep on keepin' on

I know that lovin'

feeling is gone

I'm too late

Way too late, baby

Too late

You messed up

your good thing

I'm through with you, girl

Tell her to keep that love,

man, if that's what she call it

She done mess around and

went made you an alcoholic.

Do you want to give

it a whack, then?

Show these clowns what

they're doing wrong?

Don't look much

wrong from here.

How about you?

I'm sober, man.

I can't dance sober.

How do you know?

You've never tried.

"The Girl's Got

It" by Billy Preston

F*** off.

I'm f***ing off.

What?

F***ing off where?

Anywhere. Home.

Cos you fell over?

Cos I made a twat of myself.

I make a twat of

myself wherever I go.

Does that stop me going?

That's you. Maybe

you're used to it.

You don't get used to it.

Besides, the coach don't

leave for hours yet.

Got thumbs, haven't we?

What have I told you about

dealing in here, hein?

Eh?

Ow!

Oh!

Come on. Come on!

It didn't happen.

What you said

about f***ing off

"Our Love Is Getting

Stronger" by Jason Knight

Ready?

Joe!

Freak on it Freak on it

Freak on it, baby

Freak on it Freak on it

Freak on it, baby

Are you a friend of Joe's

from ice-skating? No, no Oh.

He was in my brother's

year at school. Oh, right.

Freak on it

Freak on it, baby

Go

Have you seen all his

things from ice-skating?

These are all Joe's, you

know. Oh, really? Oh, yes.

Second prize, second prize.

Second prize. Did

he ever come first?

All right?

Dexie told me

where you lived.

He didn't say a word.

About what?

Yvonne Baker.

Record bought, he

didn't say a word.

Hardly a mark on it.

You best come up.

Right.

I know I've made a prat

of myself. Only a bit.

I fell on my arse. So?

We all fall sometimes.

The trick is

getting back up.

Right, I'll be off then. Just dropped

by to give you the record and that.

If I was you, I'd just lose some

of them moves. You know, them

Top of the Pops ones.

It's all in the basic step. When you

get that down, everything follows.

Maybe

Maybe you could show me.

OK.

I can't deny we go

better close together

Too close it feels to be

talking about the weather

I was so happy then

The moment you walked in.

And they say white guys

can't move. Ha. Listen.

"Get ready, because soul,

"rare soul is all set to grab the world

by its ears and scream, get up and dance."

This is your chance to

be on the start, Dee Dee.

Who knows how big

it's going to be?

Wigan? You said

f***ing Wigan?

The explosion that's going to take

the world by storm is from Wigan?

Wigan, like in Lancashire?

Yeah. You are on some

serious drugs, mate.

Where do you get your gear?

Do you have any Tom Jones?

Oi, try the comedy, yeah?

All right, so I stake

you to buy these records

Which you sell here for a

profit. And you buy more records

To make you more profit.

Which we split 50-50.

A dreamer of dreams, Joe.

A man of vision. 80-20.

Done. Let's skin one

up to celebrate, yes?

He doesn't love

you the way I do

Ba-da, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

They said he is

wholly unto you

He won't let you go, ba, ba

But, baby I know, ba, ba

Tonight

When I look at him

I saw the face

The face of a loser

I tell you your problem, Joey boy,

you don't appreciate good music.

Tonight

When I look at him

I saw the face

The face of a loser

And I know I can't wait.

All right? I was just

passing Get the top.

New, is it?

Kind of.

Looks the part now, doesn't he,

Jane? Proper little soul boy.

Just imagine he'd gone

the whole hog, hey?

Long leather, Adidas

bag, pair of Spencers.

Couldn't keep your hands off

him, could you? Just imagine.

What do you think, Mavis?

See, even Mavis approves.

Best be getting back.

Thanks for stopping by,

showing us your new top.

Any time that you want me

Just let me know

If I'm not around

Leave a note on my door

Because you know how I feel

You know my love is real

So, baby, feel free

Look what I've just scored.

What are they? I

don't know exactly.

But they're keeping this

lot dancing all night.

When did you last

get tapped up, Russ?

With a girl? No, a

Shetland f***ing pony.

I mean, what is

it with chicks?

Give them a genuine guy or some

tosser that drives a Ford Capri

and nine times out of ten you

know who they're going to pick.

That's a biology thing,

mate. Money, fast cars.

Just the stuff chicks dig.

But if they stopped to see under that

sh*t, to the genuine guy for what he is

You wouldn't

see 'em for dust.

Easy, fella!

There's plenty more

space to dance back there.

I saw the friendly warning.

Friendly?!

I told you once, only the best

dance front of stage. Got to earn it!

What's the damage?

Call it 40, yeah?

Call it 35.

You're joking me, mate.

Eddie Foster on white label?

That's worth three and

a half of anyone's money.

See you next week.

Monster. Does that mean

we've got a thing going, then?

So, what's new?

Nowt, you little divvy,

that's the whole point.

Up and down the highway

Travelling all over the land

Sailing all over the waters

Crossing the desert sand

Meeting all kinds of women

From Algiers to

the London Bay

But there's only

one who impressed me

And I love that

girl to death

Oh, she's quite a woman
