(0.00 / 0 votes)Tell us about the early days, Jimmy.
How did it all begin?
Well, Terry, I was always in the music
business, but more on the sales side.
F*** off.
# Don't want your kisses
# That's for sure
# I die each time
# I hear this sound:
# Here he comes
# That's Cathy's clown
# Here he comes
# That's Cathy's clown
# Dearest
# Darlin'
# I have to write to say
that I won't be home
# Any more
# Cos something happened
# To me
# While I was drivin' home
# And I'm not the same
# Any more
# Oh, I was only
# Twenty-four hours from Tulsa
# Only
# One day away from your arms
# I saw a welcoming light
# And I had to stop for the night
# Said to the man at the railroad station
# I want a ticket
# Just for one
# He said:
Well, if you insist# Oh-oh
# Destination anywhere
- Jimmy! Jimmy! You got the video?
- Yeah. Mississippi Burning, wasn't it?
Have you got any Hothouse Flowers?
# And this old world ain't got
no back door
# Because I saw her today
# I saw her face
# It was a face I loved
# And I knew
# I had to run away-ay
# And get down on my knees and pray-ay
# That they'd go away
# But still they begin
# Those needles and pins, yeah
# Because of all my pride
# Right now - yeah!
# Needles and pins, yeah
# Needles and pins, yeah
# Needles and pins
# Needles and pins,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
# Yeah-yeah!
# Ye-e-e-eah!
We'll take a short break here,
but we'll be back,
so stay in the groove.
- Imelda, you're lookin' deadly!
- What are you doin' here?
- Friend of the band's.
- You're sure no friend o' me sister's!
The fella she's marrying
hardly knows her.
Cheeky bastard!
- You'll be next.
- Why me? I'm not bleedin' pregnant!
- Imelda.
- See yeh, Jimmy.
F*** off!
It's a bit tight.
- Oh, I can feel it!
- You can feel it already?
That's great! Can you feel it?
- Why d'yeh want me to manage yis?
- Cos you know all about music, Jimmy.
You had Frankie Goes To Hollywood's
- You were first to realise they were shite.
- What's shite is what yous were playin'.
- We have to play that at weddings.
- What d'yeh call yourselves?
- And And And.
- And And f***in' And?
Ray is thinkin' of an exclamation mark
after the second And.
- He says it'll look deadly on the posters.
- Yeh don't like it?
- D'yeh think it should go at the end?
- I think it should go up his arse.
We're not married to it.
Aah, no.
Dance, yeh bastard!
# I've looked at the ocean
# Tried hard to imagine
# The way you felt the day you sailed
# From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia!
# We should have told you
- Look at that eejit!
- That eejit's singin' somethin' like music.
Jimmy, we need direction.
If I'm the manager, Ray's not in the band.
- Why not?
- I don't like him. I never have.
- I hate him, to be honest with yeh.
- But he owns the synth.
No one uses synths any more.
It's back to basics.
Just as well, cos we've f***-all else.
# ..railtrack
# From Miami to...
Jaysis!
- What the f*** is tha'?
- It's me hanky.
- Here yeh are, Imelda.
- Thanks.
What are yous lookin' at?
Nothin'.
- I'll have this washed for yeh, Jimmy.
- That's OK.
Wash it? I'd f***in' frame it!
What does she see in him? He looks like
he models f***in' knittin' patterns!
- Mothers love him.
- Why? He's a prick!
He's a prick with a job.
That band, Free Beer.
They always pull a big crowd.
- I like A Flock of Budgies.
- That's a stupid name.
It's better than bleedin' yours:
Cosmic Lino.
