That a woman ain't supposed to see

Do you know what paradise is?

It's a lie, a fantasy we create about

people and places as we'd like them to be

Was my mother afraid?

It's that little baby you're holding

and it's the man you fought with

She was sleeping.

The same one you're going

to make love with tonight

That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying

For unborn children

That might have

made me complete

But I took the sweet life

And never knew I'd be bitter

From the sweet

I've spent my life exploring

That cost too much to be free

Hey, lady,

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I've been to paradise

I've been to Georgia

and California

What are you doing?

Angel Baby

It's just like heaven

Being here with you

You're like an angel

Too good...

Because I love you

Please never leave me

Blue and alone

If you ever go

I'm sure you'll

come back home

Because I love you

I love you, I do

Angel baby

My angel baby

It's just like heaven

Being with you, dear

I could never stay

Away without you near

Because I love you

I love you, I do

Angel baby

My angel baby

Ooh, I love you

Ooh, I do

No one could love you

Like I do

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm weak. I'm weak. I'm weak.

It's okay, Joe.

It's okay.

If I knew you were coming,

I'd have baked a cake

Hired a band, goodness' sake

If I knew you were coming,

I'd have baked a cake

How do you do,

how do you do, how do you do?

Where are we going?

Well...

We can go wherever you want.

Where do you want to go?

I, I don't know.

I don't know either.

Baked a cake, baked a cake

If I knew you were coming,

I'd have baked a cake

How do you do,

how do you do, how do you do?

Had you dropped me a letter,

I'd have hired a band

Grandest band in the land

Had you dropped me a letter,

I'd have hired a band

And spread the welcome

mat for you

Oh, I don't know where

you came from

Cos I don't know

where you've been

But it really doesn't matter,

grab your chair and fill a platter

And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were coming,

I'd have baked a cake

Hired a band, goodness' sake...

Well, you look great.

Excuse me, could I get

a little bit of butter?

You know you're not supposed

to have butter.

How do you know

I'm not supposed to have it?

We all know you're

not supposed to have it.

Have a nice day.

Hey.

Joe? Wake up.

What?

Let's go.

It's a beautiful day.

It is a beautiful day.

If I knew you were coming,

Lynne Ramsay

Lynne Ramsay (born 5 December 1969) is a Scottish film director, writer, producer, and cinematographer best known for the feature films Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here. Her films are marked by a fascination with children and young people and the recurring themes of grief, guilt and death and its aftermath. They are low on dialogue and explicit story exposition, and instead use images, vivid details, music and sound design to create their worlds. In April 2013 she was selected as a member of the main competition jury at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. In 2015, she was named as a member of the jury for the main competition at the 2015 Venice Film Festival. more…
