So, how are you liking it here?

It's fine.

It's not like I have anything

else important to do

at the moment.

But you will one day.

All right, that's you're done.

Pretty when the wind blows

I love my tree in autumn

Like I love my tree

in summer

Like I love my tree

in winter

They locked me in a room

And I thought of you

in autumn

And I'm sad I won't

see you again

Pretty when you sing me

a new song in autumn

And a new song in winter

And a new song in summer

Pretty when you put down

your bow and come over

With the smell

of your breath that I love

With the look in your eye

That I love

Eve, can you tell me

when the last time was

that you felt good?

I don't know, really, I mean,

I guess everything sort of

started going downhill

after I moved away

from home, you know?

What did you love

when you were young?

Um...

I loved reading, I kind of loved

being by myself, I suppose.

Um...

Watching movies, dressing up.

I know I have to eat,

I know how to eat.

I know I wasn't

looking after myself,

but I'll do okay.

Why don't you try

for a music school?

I could help you

with the applications.

Well, I might do one day,

but right now,

I just wanna get back to life.

But your life before

you first came in here

was a disaster, so it has to be

a different life.

And I've got a plan

that involves

a gradual reintroduction

to your life,

combined with a step by step

reduction in your pills.

And how long's that gonna take?

Enjoying our time in Glasgow,

very much so.

They "Kissing in the

Red Zone" hit makers,

we can now say Wobbly Legged

Rats are gonna be coming in

and doing a live session

later in the week,

which people are looking

forward to enormously.

Come on, fire up.

We look frightened, we don't

need to be frightened of them

because we're all f***ing

mental, do you understand?

They're not mental,

they don't have a clue, right?

These are children...

they're beautiful children,

but they're children,

and we can take them down,

do you understand?

Go mental!

Come on, ref.

Oh, right in the fanny.

You all right?

I'm gonna go and get changed.

Eve?

Eve?

No, you're absolutely right,

yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, do you think

that, like... I mean the Stones

are still around, of course,

but, I mean,

they do have a dead member.

I mean, obviously,

there is a mystique 'cause they

did lose one along the way.

It's almost like

with Led Zep, isn't it?

It's almost like unless

you've lost one,

you don't really kind of...

You're not really the upper

echelons of rock 'n' roll.

- The water looks really good.

- Jesus!

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Eve.

At your service.

I told you I'd find you.
