# I can't be

held responsible #

# For the things I say #

# For I am just #

# A vessel in vain #

# And I can't be

held responsible #

# For the things I see #

# For I am just #

# A vessel in vain #

# No boat out

on no ocean #

# No name there

on no hull #

# And it's not

a strain at all #

# To remember #

# Those that I've

left behind #

# They're all standing #

# Right here beside me now #

# And most of them #

# With a smile #

# My ideals #

# Have got me on the run #

# Towards my connection #

# With everyone #

# My ideals #

# Have got me on the run #

# Towards my connection #

# With everyone #

# My ideals #

# Have got me on the run #

# It's my connection #

# With everyone #

# Such free reign #

# For a vessel in vain #

God will forgive them.

He'll forgive them

and allow them into heaven.

I can't live with that.

Anthony, you don't mess about

with that fire, mate.

No.

Here you go, mate.

I'll help you in.

I've got to go to...

Oh, you did

well there, lad.

You've really

earned that.

Anthony. Anthony.

Hey, all right, mate!

Just do me

a quick favor, mate,

on the way down

to the shop, all right?

Oh, no, I've got to go

towards Stiletto.

It'll take you 5 minutes.

Now, come here!

Here's one, bro.

Morning, Gage.

All right.

F***ing great

pills, man.

Yeah, I'll have

to do you for that.

That's 15 for

the single one.

F***ing go

gambling, mate?

All right, man.

Enjoy yourself, man.

Okay, Weir.

Yeah,

can I have two?

Sweet.

Cheers, Gage.

Can I help you, mate?

Sorry?

What the f***

are you looking at?

You, you c*nt!

See you

in a bit, yeah?

Hang in. Hang in.

I ain't gonna

f***ing do it, am I?

Don't worry.

I likes you anyway.

Sonny.

Cheers, man.

Have any more?

No, I don't, man.

Taste that beer

before you drink it.

It just isn't

enough, admit it.

Just seen old Jane in town.

Have you?

Good man.

Deal 'em out.

She had a hot

skirt on.

She's

randy for you.

She might as well

not wear anything.

Really?

I'll be on my floor

tonight on that skirt.

See you happy

chaps later.

10:
00 about.

Don't get pulled.

I won't.

Take it easy, Herb.

See you, mate.

Sorry about

over there, mate.

I really just

lost the head there.

I don't know what

happened to me.

I just don't know

what come over me.

Sorry. Shouting at you

was the wrong thing.

It's all right, man.

What's your name?

It's Herbie.

No. What's your name?

No, it... it is.

I'm called Herbie, man.

Whoa, me, I'm really sorry.

I'm really ashamed of myself

for losing control.

Okay, mate.

All right.

Under the bridge water.

Yeah.

Let it flow.

All right, mate.

They spit-roasted

me on video.

Sense of life, man.

He's still alive...

"Janie and Gretchen

living...

"getting each other off

at the shower time,

and they really want

you to join in. "

I would if I had a shower.

You know what I mean?

Oh, Jesus.

I love English cock.

Do you?

You guys have

really tasty spunk.

Oh, she's

a little slut.

Dirty cow.

Not today, thanks.

Herbie, d*ckhead.

Yeah, all right.

Herbie.

"Janet loves

alfresco fun,

so why not join her

as she spreads herself

wide in the open air?"

What's alfresco?

Alfresco, that's

up your anus, ain't it?

Is it?

In the anal.

"Fancy a tit f***?"

No, thanks.

"I love taking

his cock deep

so his shaven balls

are in me face. "

Hi, chaps.

Righto.

Herb. Herbie.

Herb, Herb.

Hey, I'm all skin up.

Man, I got some gear.

Yeah, put it together.

Let's do some

of Sonny's gear.

You need to chill out.

Don't take f***ing

much elation.

Uh, you've had

enough of that.

Check on your stuff

and don't touch the action.

Don't touch the action.

F***in' hell. I was

in farm today, man.

Listen, Tuff.

Was in farm.

I'm listening.

I'm listening.

Doing me dealing, right?

You know what I mean?

Had to scout about and stuff,

and as soon

as I waltz in,

there was this

f***ing bloke

having a bit of

a butcher's at me.

Went over, like, "Do you

want a f***ing picture?

What's going on?"

He's like, "Huh?"

Mongrel can hardly speak.

And then I says,

"Listen.

What the f***in' hell

are you looking at?"

He goes,

"You, you c*nt!"

Get out.

Seriously, man.

So I go down to club

seeking Sonny, don't I?

So I'm coming out...

coming out back

of the club.

You know where

the stairs are?

Yeah.

Was on me phone.

Next minute, "Aah,"

he's right there.

I'm f***ing

like a ghost, man.

What that?

Faint now, dead.

Know what I mean?

So I faint now.

Know what I mean?

Were you sweating,

though?

I was like whoa, but he

starts apologizing.

The guy comes

up to you,

more or less

threatens you.

Then he jumps

out on you

going to f***ing work,

and you shake his hand?

That's what I mean.

Freaky, innit?

No, you're

f***ing freaky.

You know what

I think it is?

I've been racking me

brains all bastard day.

Yeah, it's a local

lunatic, innit?

Hey, Tuff.

Anthony's brother.

It was Anthony's

brother, man.

Stop it!

Don't crowd him.

Don't crowd him,

all right?

You're making him

nervous.

I know you got to go,

but let me just say

one thing, all right?

I don't mind.

I just don't like when

people are just f***ing rude.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm sorry I hit you before.

I didn't mean to.

Yeah? There's no

blood, is there?

Huh? Huh?

Yeah!

That isn't a bloodstain.

That isn't

a bloodstain, is it?

At this pace,

it'll give you
