God Help the Girl Page #3

Wow, you look well.

I like your knees.

So, a swim, possibly?

Oh, yeah, sure, okay.

A quick one though, I have

to keep the main light off.

Do you have a costume

I could borrow?

Yeah, there's some

in the office.

I'll just...

So, what are you doing here?

I was just playing football

against the uni.

How's it goin' anyway?

Really good, actually.

Been making music,

writing songs and stuff.

That's a big bag.

Yeah, I'm kind of

in between places.

Ah, well, you know,

there is a room in my flat...

sort of a room,

a bit of a room that's free.

- A bit of a room?

- Yeah.

I mean, well,

it's a separate room,

it's just a bit enclosed.

Well, I'm okay

with enclosed spaces.

Cool, well, I mean, if you want,

I can ask the guy.

Okay.

Okay, okay, good.

I love my room,

I'm getting used to sleeping

Some nights,

I really like to lie awake

I hear the midnight birds

A message in their words

The dawn will touch me

In a way a boy

could never touch

Their promise never meant

so much to me

Makes him sound like

early Joseph Cale.

Sounds like the Pastels

and everything.

I mean, that is absolutely

definitive indie,

isn't it, really, I mean

the look with the sort of,

you know, an anorak and hair

that looks slightly

like it's been dipped

in chip fat, you know?

I used to try and dress

like Roddy Frame in 1981.

You didn't get a girlfriend

till you were 30, did you?

Excuse me, hi.

Are you guys doing

a live session tonight?

- Yeah.

- What's your band called?

Wobbly Legged Rats.

Oh, yeah, I've heard of you.

If I give you something,

could you give it

to Findley or Donovan?

- Sure.

- This is really important.

They're expecting this tape.

I'll give it to them

the second I see them.

Okay.

Did we meet before?

Nope, never.

I would have remembered.

I am Anton.

We play at the Berlin Club

in a few days

and I can add you to the list

if you'd like.

Okay, sure,

I'll try and make it.

All right.

Just please give them

the tape, okay?

Remember to give them the tape.

- Yes.

- Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

She is unbelievable.

Yup, but it's not like

she's gonna look at us

with all the Swiss Germans here.

No, there's no way she's getting

past the big Swiss German.

Life is tragic.

But good.

Eve.

I've been out

of the city for a while.

Maybe you can tell me

if I start acting conspicuous.

I like conspicuous.

Probably take the freakiest

thing about you and blow it up.

- Are your hands cold?

- No.

I bet if I touched your hands

they'd be freezing cold.

My hands are fine.

Cold, knew it.

I couldn't stand that, I mean,

I'd get sick instantly.

I've got the constitution

of an abandoned rabbit.
