help me dad out, you know.

So tell me about her.

Who, me ma?

No, the girl, the special girl

you write these songs for.

No.

Come on.

What did she do to you?

Well.

# Ten years ago, I fell in

love with an Irish girl #

# She took my heart #

# But she went and screwed

some guy that she knew #

# And now I'm in Dublin

with a broken heart #

# Oh, broken-hearted

Hoover-fixer sucker guy#

# Oh, broken-hearted

Hoover-fixer sucker... #

# Sucker guy #

# One day, I'll go there

and win her once again #

# But until then, I'm just

a sucker of a guy. #

(laughing)

So she's with him now?

- No.

- Don't know.

Where is she?

# She's in old London town #

# Living somewhere

around Chiswick. #

I miss her.

It's just sort of... you know.

You're not going

to go get her?

No?

No. F*** her.

# F*** her,

f*** her. #

# F*** her, she's gone #

# F*** her, she's gone forever#

# She f***ing f***ed it up!... #

- (woman speaks indistinctly)

- Sorry.

Sorry.

(softly):

# F***ing f***ed it up #

# She f***ing f***ed it up! #

# And now she's gonna die. #

Give us the sharp eight

there, son.

And the Phillips.

Come on.

Your son

is a very talented man, sir.

Well, he should be.

I trained him meself.

Oh, no. I meant the songs.

Oh, right. Is he?

- Very.

- Okay, that's done.

You can take it back

with you.

It was just the belt,

so it should be all right now.

Thank you.

How much do I owe you?

Oh, you're fine there;

it's free.

Nothing's for free.

How much?

Say four euro, love.

Okay. We're going

to head upstairs, Dad.

Is there anything

else you need?

No, I'm grand.

Okay.

A pleasure to meet you, sir.

And you.

Take care.

Good.

Come on in.

There you are.

(music playing on tape)

(music stops)

Wow.

Can you transfer this stuff on to

disc for me so I can listen?

Yeah.

I have to go now.

Do you want to stay?

What do you mean?

Stay the night?

What?

F*** this.

Thanks for the Hoover, yeah?

- See you.

- See you around.

F***.

Flowers? Flowers?

- Hey.

- Hey.

How's it going?

Hey, where you going?

I wanted to give you the CDs

that I made for you.

I'm really...

I'm just really lonely,

and you're gorgeous,

and I just...

I'm sorry. I f***ed up.

I'm sorry. I...

I don't know what to say.

It won't happen again.

Do you have a CD player?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Batteries are pretty low,

but it should work.

I give it back.

No problem. Keep it.

I have to go now.

I'll talk

to you later.

You don't want to get a cup of

tea or something? I'd love to...

just talk to you

a bit more.

I have responsibilities.

I have to go home.

Is it okay to walk along

with you then?
