Pete is a young man |
| [00:20.86] |
Heart full of rain |
| [00:22.02] |
Eyes full of evenings |
| [00:23.27] |
Spent in a dream |
| [00:24.52] |
Grew up in a city where you master your pain |
| [00:26.85] |
Or you end up numb, not feeling |
| [00:29.52] |
Becky is a young woman |
| [00:30.77] |
Heart full of earth |
| [00:32.02] |
Eyes full of mornings |
| [00:33.17] |
Spent without sleeping |
| [00:34.57] |
Grew up in a city where it’s hard to be heard |
| [00:36.78] |
And nothing really has much meaning |
| [00:39.54] |
Pete had his heart broke once |
| [00:41.22] |
He never fixed it |
| [00:41.94] |
Sits there in his chest |
| [00:43.03] |
With his arms crossed, screwing |
| [00:44.24] |
Becky had her heart broke twice |
| [00:46.36] |
She won’t risk it again |
| [00:47.12] |
She don’t wanna see her heart get ruined |
| [00:49.34] |
And now she’s on her way |
| [00:50.48] |
To wash up and take the orders |
| [00:51.83] |
For spaghetti |
| [00:52.59] |
At Giuseppe’s |
| [00:53.13] |
The café on the corner |
| [00:54.33] |
She did the night shift too |
| [00:55.14] |
A masseuse at the sauna |
| [00:56.72] |
She’s putting herself through uni |
| [00:58.36] |
It’s hard work |
| [01:00.20] |
But will it be this way forever? |
| [01:02.75] |
These are lonely days |
| [01:04.85] |
What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [01:07.21] |
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [01:10.11] |
But will it be this way forever? |
| [01:12.29] |
These are stressful times |
| [01:14.47] |
What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [01:17.00] |
She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [01:19.59] |
‘Now, have you thought about retail?’ |
| [01:20.56] |
‘Yes, fine with me’ |
| [01:21.62] |
‘Oh and I can see here that you have a degree’ |
| [01:24.02] |
‘Yes,’ says Pete, ‘in International Relations.’ |
| [01:25.86] |
‘Great |
| [01:27.20] |
Let’s see if Primark has space for a placement.’ |
| [01:29.15] |
Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed |
| [01:31.81] |
By the blank eyes |
| [01:33.14] |
Impolite customers thrusting |
| [01:34.12] |
Their damp fives |
| [01:35.13] |
Into her palms, she thinks |
| [01:36.41] |
'There ain’t no harm in being civil though, Is there?' |
| [01:39.29] |
He folds up his job form |
| [01:40.52] |
Gets up from his chair |
| [01:41.61] |
The next person sits down with a similar air |
| [01:44.06] |
Of dejection |
| [01:45.06] |
He walks out, heads in the direction |
| [01:46.52] |
Of the café on the corner |
| [01:47.66] |
For a coffee and some headroom |
| [01:48.90] |
This guy comes in |
| [01:50.15] |
The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him |
| [01:53.46] |
He sits at the table by the window |
| [01:55.04] |
Reading, half smiling |
| [01:56.38] |
His hair’s messy and his eyes are shining |
| [01:58.58] |
Can’t think what to say, he just stares blankly |
| [02:01.12] |
Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon |
| [02:03.58] |
And as he leaves the café he’s consumed |
| [02:05.81] |
With thoughts of her |
| [02:06.76] |
Wishing that he’d got up the guts |
| [02:07.81] |
To try and talk to her |
| [02:09.91] |
Will it be this way forever? |
| [02:12.01] |
These are lonely days |
| [02:14.42] |
What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [02:16.55] |
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [02:19.63] |
And will it be this way forever? |
| [02:22.20] |
These are stressful times |
| [02:23.84] |
What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [02:26.26] |
She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [02:29.01] |
It’s Becky’s mate’s birthday |
| [02:29.99] |
They’re out for the night |
| [02:31.06] |
Now, Becky’s mate is the nightmare type |
| [02:32.75] |
She’d flirt with anyone |
| [02:33.78] |
Scream at the top of her voice |
| [02:35.24] |
But it’s her birthday so Becky |
| [02:37.39] |
Don’t really have a choice |
| [02:38.70] |
He sees her in the queue |
| [02:39.87] |
He doesn’t know what to do |
| [02:40.85] |
She’s more beautiful than he remembers |
| [02:42.81] |
Then she says |
| [02:43.74] |
‘Alright?’ |
| [02:44.51] |
And he tries to say something funny |
| [02:45.87] |
But stutters |
| [02:46.68] |
And now he feels like a muppet and blushes (No, No, No) |
| [02:48.92] |
Inside it’s the usual scene |
| [02:49.86] |
They’re dancing at the bar, waiting to get served |
| [02:52.82] |
Becky’s mate’s screaming about something absurd |
| [02:55.22] |
And they’re all fake laughing |
| [02:56.79] |
Even though nobody heard a word |
| [02:58.53] |
So now he’s hunting around the room |
| [02:59.70] |
Staring into every booth |
| [03:00.62] |
The back of every head could be hers |
| [03:02.74] |
It’s no use |
| [03:03.45] |
He stops by the bar, thinking |
| [03:04.76] |
'Man, I’ll never find her' |
| [03:05.68] |
And then he realises that he’s standing beside her |
| [03:08.12] |
He stands there awkward |
| [03:10.49] |
His eyes are as loud as the bass |
| [03:11.12] |
And she can recognise something in his face |
| [03:13.30] |
She scribbles down her number |
| [03:14.76] |
Lingering glance |
| [03:15.72] |
And lets herself think |
| [03:17.11] |
Maybe this could be her chance |
| [03:18.34] |
Will it be this way forever? |
| [03:21.49] |
These are lonely days |
| [03:23.88] |
What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [03:26.17] |
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [03:28.83] |
And will it be this way forever? |
| [03:31.36] |
These are stressful times |
| [03:33.51] |
What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [03:35.82] |
She looks away, she’s petrified |
| [03:38.34] |
Will it be this way forever? |
| [03:40.29] |
These are lonely days |
| [03:43.38] |
What if she could be the one that makes it better? |
| [03:45.67] |
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze |
| [03:48.73] |
And will it be this way forever? |
| [03:51.06] |
These are stressful times |
| [03:53.51] |
What if he could be the one that gets her? |
| [03:55.82] |
She looks away, she’s petrified |
