The Beat Beneath My Feet Page #2

again, that is exactly what you'll be.

I'd rather be dead than not be

able to play the guitar like you!

Teach me.

The blue one.

You teach me and you get to live

your secret life in peace.

The red one and I'll tell

everyone that you're not dead.

Think about it.

I bet the tabloids

would love a story like this.

"Crippled tax dodger living

under false identity."

"Wacko saddo benefit... cheater."

Sad little loner. No life.

So are you.

At least I had one.

Mum's getting a solicitor,

so you'd better stop playing...

...music all night and start

teaching me guitar...

...or you'll be locked up.

Do you hear?

Well I've been drinking

beer and whiskey all night

I'll fall down, yeah

Well I've been drinking

beer and whiskey all night

I'll fall down, yeah

Well

When the sun does come babe

I'm coming home

He's stopped playing his music.

I wonder why.

Sounds great.

Carry on.

Okay, from the top.3, 4...

Get a chair.

Tune it.

Go ahead, then.

Can I go in the other room?

What shall I play?

Anything.

- Why do you wanna play like me?

- Because you're brilliant.

You were voted

Rock Guitars' guitarist of 1993.

Yeah, was I?

How could you

forget something like that?

Listen, if I play like me and

people like it, that's one thing.

You play like me,

it's a tribute band.

- But I just wanna...

- No.

No more about me. I don't wanna

ever hear another word about me.

No history about me.

No facts about me. You just play.

It's good.

Yeah.

Just... just leave it.

Thanks.

Leave me alone

I just wanna hang with my friends

Dirty pretty thing

She's been chatting since ten

I don't wanna have a fight with

you So think it all over, have a drink or two

I said, leave me alone I just

Help me out

She's driving me round the bend

Tom, Tom, Tom. Come on.

- How you doing, buddy?

- Not bad, Dad.

Good, good. Got any cash?

Whoa. You dealing drugs?

No.

Running an extortion racket?

Auntie's been giving me 30 every

Christmas and birthday since 2008.

And my paper round's between 7 and 9 pounds,

depending how many flyers they put in.

And they gave me my jumperback

last Christmas which I kept the money for.

Good because

I'm not an extortionist.

No, you're not.

You look fantastic in your glasses.

Your mum has excelled herself.

I came out to have a drink or two

So just think about it, I'm not fighting with you

I said, leave me alone I just

wanna hang with my friends

- What's the hurry?

- Late for rehearsal. Battle of the Bands.

- You're in a band?

- I sing. Play guitar.

an exclusion order on you.

Yeah, stay away from me. Pervert!

My dad's getting

me a new guitar.
