[ "Stardust" ]
[ Nat King Cole ]
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky
The little stars climb
Always reminding me
That we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song
That will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by
[ Man In Film ]
Mrs. Wilberforce...
I understand you have rooms to let.
[ Boy ]
Mam!
Mam!
Can I go to the pictures, Mam?
- Mam?
- Yeah?
- I've got a penny.
- So?
If you give me 11 pence, I'd have a shilling.
[ Chuckling ]
You're not soft, are you?
Mam?
Oh, go on, Mam.
Our Titchie said she'd take me.
Oh, go on, Mam.
Eh, Bud, get me those nets...
out of the lads' bedroom, will you?
Okay, Mam.
[ Men Laughing ]
[ Man ] Pass us a few bricks, will ya?
[ Boards Thudding ]
Oh, come on, lad.
Where's those nets?
I want to wash them.
[ Bud Laughs ]
That's before he'll bring them down.
You little bugger!
[ Men Laughing ]
[ Mother ] If you were the only girl in the world
And I was the only boy
Nothing else would matter
In this world today
We would go on loving
In the same old way
A Garden of Eden
Just meant for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say
There would be
If you were the only girl
In the world
And I was the only boy
Go on. Get me purse.
Oh, thanks, Mam!
[ Humming ]
Today
We would go on living
- [ Humming ]
- Your tea's ready, Kev.
- Okay, Mam.
[ Scraping Continues ]
[ Humming Continues ]
All right, Mam.
Hiya, Mam.
[ Woman ] Hey, John, will you get
the flatirons out for me?
Yeah, okay, Titch.
Where's our Bud, Mam?
The pictures. Where else?
[ Big Band, Jaunty ]
[ Doris Day ] Every little breeze
is sighin' of love undyin'
At sundown
Every little bird is resting
feather-nesting
At sundown
Each little rosebud
- Is sleepin'
- Will you take us in, mister?
While shadows
Are creepin'
In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy
At sundown
- Where a lovin' smile will greet me
- Will you take us in, please?
Always meet me at sundown
- I seem to sigh
- Will you take us in, mister?
I'm in heaven
- When the night is fallin'
- Thanks, mister!
Love is callin' me home
[ Instrumental Break ]
I seem to sigh
I'm in heaven
When the night is fallin'
Love's callin' me home
[ Ends ]
[ Young Man ] I'll get you, Mavis!
- [ Mother ] What are you running for?
- [ Bud ] Tiddle Hodge was chasing me.
- Why?
- I was skittin' him.
You be careful.
One day he'll catch you
and give you a right go-along.
Tiddle-iddle-iddle

[ Chattering Continues ]
[ Man ] Ah, is this your daughter?
Got a boyfriend?
Got a boyfriend?
It's smashin' at the moment.
See that one there? Went right up
in the sky, and it hit me house.
- Ah, it's great.
- Some fire.
Hey, watch what you're doin' with them sparklers.
[ Woman, A Cappella ]
Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly
Blow the wind south
O'er the bonny blue sea
Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly
Blow, bonny breeze
My lover to me
They told me last night
There were ships in the offing
And I hurried down
To the deep rolling sea
But my eye could not see it
Wherever might be it
The barque that is bearing
My lover to me
Blow the wind southerly
- Southerly, southerly
- [ Wind Gusting ]
Blow, bonny breeze
- O'er the bonny blue sea
- [ Waves Crashing ]
Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly
Blow, bonny breeze
And bring him to me
Is it not sweet
To hear the breeze singing
As lightly it comes
O'er the deep rolling sea
But sweeter and dearer
By far 'tis
When bringing the barque
Of my true love
In safety
To me
[ "Richard Rodgers's "The Carousel Waltz" ]
[ Continues ]
- There's our John and Kevin, Mam.
- John!
- Kevin!
- Kevin!
John! Kevin!
[ Continues ]
Oh, yeah. Round the end.
Nearly had the green one.
[ Clicking ]
[ Man, A Cappella ] She stepped away from me
And she went through the fair
And fondly
I watched her move here
And move there
And then she went homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
- Last night she came to me [Fades ]
- [ Mother ] Last night she came to me
She came softly in
So softly she came
- [ Clock Ticking ]
- That her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
Me dad used to sing that.
Granddad O'Brien?
Yeah.
Lock up, will you, Kev?
Okay, Mam.
[ Whispers ] Mam.
Mam.
[ Male Voice Growling, Snarling ]
[ Screaming ]
It was a man!
It was a man!
It's all right.
You're all right.

A Shropshire Lad" ][ Children Shouting ]
[ Child Giggling ]
[ Mother ] It's your last term
at Canon Kennedy's, isn't it, lad?
Are you looking forward to going up
to the big boys' school, Bud?
[ Bud ]
What am I gonna get for Christmas, Mam?
[ Mother ] Don't be so nosy.
[ Bells Jingling ]
[ Boy, A Cappella ]
Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed
Mary was
- That mother mild
- [ People Chattering ]
[ Titch ] Makes your heart bleed, doesn't it?
Are you gonna help me with these things?
[ Kevin ] In the morning.
I've got to get a tree.
- No, we got that little tree of our own.
- [ John ] Have you got the tree?
- I think it's still in the attic.
- [ Titch Chuckling ]
[ John ]
You should give some of them decorations away.
- You've had them for years.
- No, I like these.
They've got a real history, haven't they?
[ Family Conversing, Indistinct ]

Happy Christmas, lad.
Happy Christmas, Bud.

[ Orson Welles In Film ] In those days
they had time for everything
time for sleigh rides and balls...
and assemblies and cotillions...
and open house on New Year's.
[ Crowd ]
Oh, the Cokey Cokey!
Oh, the Cokey Cokey!
Knees bend, arms stretch, rah, rah, rah!
[ Man ]
It's 12:
00!Should old acquaintance be forgot
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
