The wonder of hate,

There's no heart left here,

Only eyes that lie and people

that charge through the day,

Trying to remember

where it all began is not good,

All that matters is how it affects

you and the people you care about,

That's the real world,

You see, how easy is this?

Too easy to stop,

They say when a ship sinks

the rats float to the top,

Some people

Look forward to that time,

- Where did this happen?

- The social club.

- On your own turf?

- Absolutely. An outrage.

No, it's not,

it's a diabolical liberty.

Well, you know me...

- One singer, one song?

- Yes.

What did you say?

Well, I said,

''So, James, you man of mystery,

this is the moment

your world changes forever.''

Know what he said?

Oops! The boss has arrived.

Sit down just for a minute, Frankie.

So, where was I? Oh, yeah.

So I said, ''James, this is the moment

your world changes forever.''

And the bastard said,

''It's either me or you.''

So I said,

''No, James, you're wrong.''

- ''There's only you.''

- What did he say to that?

He never lived to tell the tale.

That's right, Frankie.

How's it going, Frankie?

WOMAN SINGS:

Don't see your mum much these days.

She'll be back soon.

Don't worry, that's just what women

do to get attention.

You and me.

Are you gonna go for it, Shane...

Whoa!

What the f*** are you doing?

Get out before I call the police.

That's it.

Look, we're really not

looking for trouble.
