OK. See yeh.
# Oh, she may be weary
# And young girls, they do get weary
# Wearin' that same old shaggy dress
# But when she gets weary
# Try
# A little tenderness
# Fandango
# You know she's waitin'
# Just anticipatin'
# The things
# That she never, never
# Never, never possesses
# Yeah
# But while she's there waitin'
# Without them
# Try a little tenderness
# That's all you gotta do
# This is for you
# It's not
# Just sentimental
# She has her grief and her cares
# Ye-eah, yeah
# But the soft words
# They are spoke so gentle
# It makes it easier
# Easier to bear
# Yeah
# You won't regret it, no, no
# Young girls, they never forget it
# Love is their only
# Happiness
# But it's all so easy
# All you gotta do
# Is try a little tenderness
# Oh, yeah, baby
# Oh, yeah
# Squeeze her
# Don't you tease her

Jaysis! Some rain, wha'?
Is Wilson here yet?
- No. What time did the show finish?

He'll be doin' all that backstage bullshit.
I thought he was supposed to be here.

You don't need a new amp, Outspan!
- Jimmy! Is Wilson back there?
- Not yet.
Where the f*** is he, then?
Wilson Pickett! Load o' bollix!
It's not, Jimmy, is it?
He will come, won't he?
- Wilson Pickett finished an hour ago.
- I spoke to the man. I did me best.
You said it was no problem.
You said it was all fixed.
If you've been bullshittin' me,
I'll ram that trumpet up your arse!
I'm sorry you doubt me, Brother Rabbitte.
We need roadies.
Will yeh ever shut up, for f*** sake!
Who the f*** d'yeh think yeh are?
When I come offstage I want
a proper towel, not a tea towel.
And a bottle of mineral water.
- Don't f***in' spray that!
- Thinks he's f***in' Prince!
And what's that meant to mean?
- Are we doin' an encore?
- Not till I've had a pee. I'm desperate.
Are we waitin' for the
f***in' mystery man?
Shut up, Charlie shaggin' Parker!
Is Wilson goin' to come?
''Wilson''! You didn't know who Wilson
Pickett was a month ago, you stupid cow!
Don't do that!
You're probably goin' with him, too!
They're me fans! They love me!
They're my fans, not your fans.
Are yeh goin' to do
a f***in' encore or not?
I'm goin' to f***in' burst you!
Your f***in' days are numbered! Fat slob!
- Go an' f*** yourself!
- Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
A double Jameson's, please.
Hello, Dublin!
So yous lot couldn't get tickets
to Wilson Pickett tonight, no?
He was supposed to come an' see us.
I'm serious. Only, our manager f***ed up!
We'd like to do a Pickett song now.
Hope yeh like it.
Hit it!
# I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
# That's when my love
comes tumblin' down
# I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
# When there's no one else around
# I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
# And do all the things I told you
# In the midnight hour
# Midnight hour
# Oh, yeah
# I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
# And see that twinkle in your eye
# I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
# Midnight hour
# That's when my love begins to shine
Jimmy Rabbitte?
That is a mean band yeh got there.
- Dave Machin, Eejit Records.
- Eejit Records?
- Listen, I'm very excited. Can we talk?
- Sure!
Go somewhere a bit quieter, yeah?
# Midnight hour
Exactly, Jimmy. Eejit Records is a small
label, but we're good because we care.
No money upfront, but we'll pay for
an engineer and studio time for a day.
Sounds brilliant!
# I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
# Midnight hour
# That's when my love
comes tumblin' down
# Midnight hour
# I'm gonna wait
# Wait
# Midnight hour
# That's when my love begins to shine
# Midnight hour
# Just you and I
# Wait
# Midnight hour
# Just you and I
# Wait
# Midnight hour
# Just you and I
# Wait
# Midnight hour
# You and I
# Wait
# Midnight hour
# Just you and I
# Yeah
# Yeah...!
- We were good, Steven, weren't we?
- F***in' deadly!
- Hey, Joey, what about tha'!
- We were brilliant!
- Not tossers, wha'?
- I was good, wasn't I?
- You were good?
- My chords was good!
- Give it to Natalie! She had him first!
- I'd piss in his helmet if I was you!
F***in' take it!
You're the one that had your f***in'
tongue rammed down his throat!
Can you believe this?
They're fightin' over the little f***er now!
You started this!
You and your f***in' dick!
- I am gone.
- No one's had me!
It's Imelda. She's such a prick teaser.
Don't call me a f***in' prick teaser!
Give over, all o' yeh!
I've said it before, and I'll
say it again. I'm very excited.
But is there any problems with the band?
They were slaggin' you off a bit.
No, no, no, Dave.
You know how it is in rock'n'roll.
Once they get a taste,
they become overnight arseholes.
Isn't everybody in rock'n'roll an arsehole!
Except for management, that is.
All right! All right!
- Autographs now, is it?
