Chocolate - Tindersticks[00:00:01]

It had been the perfect Friday afternoon [00:00:25]

The job was almost done [00:00:27]

The house we were decorating was owned by a little old man [00:00:30]

Forever in the same three piece suit[00:00:33]

He'd probabbly had since he was demobbed [00:00:35]

He seemed to be forever on his way to the post office [00:00:37]

Carrying brown paper ansd string wrapped parcels under his arm [00:00:40]

He'd bring us out china cups of camp coffee[00:00:45]

And plates of custard cream biscuits [00:00:46]

The house had belonged to his parents[00:00:50]

Who had both passed away within weeks of each other[00:00:52]

A few years back [00:00:54]

They were the only people he had ever lived with [00:00:56]

This was the only house he had ever lived in [00:00:58]

I wondered what would happen to the house when he's gone [00:01:01]

It was a short walk to my bedsit [00:01:06]

Once a similar house to the old man's[00:01:08]

now broken into lots of single room accomodation[00:01:10]

It also once had a great garden like his[00:01:15]

Now occupied by one-storey modern block building[00:01:17]

Containing the dentist and chiropodist[00:01:20]

In my room was an electric cooker[00:01:25]

Which I only used in winter to keep warm [00:01:27]

Next to that was a sink with a glass shelf above it[00:01:29]

on which was a toothbrush and carton of marlboro's[00:01:32]

There was a table with a chair in one corner[00:01:36]

A single bed in the other [00:01:38]

And about four sq ft in the middle [00:01:40]

There was a wooden drawer[00:01:44]

Under the bed with most of my clothes in[00:01:45]

The rest was over the back of the chair [00:01:47]

I had a record player on a table[00:01:50]

And boxes of records underneath [00:01:52]

The bathroom for the first[00:01:57]

And the second floor was opposite my room [00:01:58]

It had a meter for the water[00:02:00]

Which took two 50pence pieces[00:02:02]

You'd have to wait half an hour for the water to heat up [00:02:04]

And keep an eye on the door[00:02:07]

In case some sod pinched your bath [00:02:10]

There was one toilet upstairs and one outside[00:02:14]

But no one used the outside one anymore[00:02:16]

So it was where the local prostitutes would take their clients for a quickie [00:02:19]

I'd spend as little time as I could in my room[00:02:24]

My skin was still warm and soft from the bath as I walked into town [00:02:27]

So I was sat on my usual bar stool in my usual pub by 6 30 [00:03:02]

The usual twelve or so regulars in at this time of the evening[00:03:06]

Nice and relaxed before the post 8 00 crush [00:03:09]

We'd crowd around the tiny bar then pool tables[00:03:14]

The house rule for fool was winner stays on[00:03:17]

You'd chalk your name on the balckboard[00:03:20]

And wait your turn [00:03:21]

The challenger would pay for the game [00:03:23]

So if you were good[00:03:25]

You 'd play all night[00:03:26]

Tonight I was great [00:03:27]

She walked into the pool room just as I potted the black[00:03:30]

The next name on the list[00:03:33]

Bent down to the slot on the table and put coins in [00:03:35]

I was used to seeing her surrounded by burgundy flocked wallpaper[00:03:37]

And red velvet upholstery in the sunday night pub around the corner;[00:03:41]

She looked different stood here in the pool room[00:03:47]

She looked good she was looking at me [00:03:49]

I ended the game as quickly as I could[00:03:52]

Without losing badly and stood near her [00:03:54]

"Would you like a drink " she asked [00:03:58]

"I get them What do you want " I replied [00:03:59]

"The same as you're having" she said [00:04:02]

The great thing about being a regular[00:04:04]

When the bars turned deep is it only takes a raised eyebrow[00:04:06]

And a couple of nods [00:04:09]

And two bottles of Holster Pils had been passed over people's heads to you [00:04:10]

We did the pool room dance for a while [00:04:15]

Moving to" excuse me"'s bending around elbows[00:04:17]

And pool cues until we decided to move on[00:04:19]

It was too early to go to the club [00:04:24]

So we went around the corner to the Sunday night pub [00:04:25]

It was still quite busy on a Friday night [00:04:28]

Full of couples and students [00:04:30]

It had a reputation as a gay bar [00:04:33]

Probably why the students came in to feel safe [00:04:35]

She was my dream we drank pernod and blacks [00:04:40]

Talked about John Barry Ford Cortinas (she preferred the Mark 3)[00:04:41]

what was best: gel or Brylcream I preferred the Brylcream [00:04:46]

She even agreed On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the best Bond film [00:04:50]

If you accept it as a whole[00:04:54]

And not just get hung up about George Lazenby [00:04:56]

She smoked Silkcuts [00:04:58]

She didn't mind Marlboros [00:05:00]

But we both had a fondness for Old Port cigars[00:05:01]

We moved down to the club [00:05:07]

Upstairs for a couple of onion bhajis[00:05:08]

Went down to the quiet bar near the dance floors [00:05:10]

We decided to leave early [00:05:14]

You wouldn't want to be there in the end [00:05:15]

When the lights came on [00:05:17]

You'd never sit down in here again [00:05:18]

In a depressing shuffle we pushed to the door [00:05:20]

Now it was good to get up and out [00:05:23]

While it was still a black hole warm and smokey [00:05:25]

Full of possibilities [00:05:28]

She lived by the river [00:06:34]

The other side of town[00:06:35]

Queue for taxis was hell as usual [00:06:36]

Next to the late night chippy [00:06:39]

The worst chips you could buy [00:06:40]

But at this time of night full [00:06:42]

Outside fights and throwing up [00:06:44]

We jumped in the taxi nothing mattered but us [00:06:47]

Back at hers a bedsit in a house similar to mine [00:06:51]

She'd done something painted three walls [00:06:54]

Put up some old fifties star wall paper [00:06:56]

A big Bowie poster and some nice curtains [00:06:59]

It would be easy for me to change my woodchip magnolia bedsit standard [00:07:02]

Afterall it was my job She had a few lamps here and there were some candles [00:07:05]

She made us proper hot chocolate [00:07:12]

Not the instant shit you get from the machine [00:07:14]

She had Fox'sbiscuits and a small bottle of Cointreau too [00:07:18]

The end of a perfect day [00:07:22]

The taste of chocolate cigarette and orange liqueur made it even seem better [00:07:24]

I undid her tartan miniskirt pulled off her black wool tights [00:07:29]

My lips moved up her legs What the f**k [00:07:33]

I had a large hard dick poking me in the eye [00:07:37]

"Shit you're a chap " I felt like jumping through the window screaming [00:07:40]

I couldn't move [00:07:46]

She he still looked the same [00:07:47]

I had a pain in my head [00:07:50]

I wanted to do something say something [00:07:51]

He was holding me sobbing "[00:07:54]

You must have known how could you not tell "[00:07:56]

And "I love you I can be your woman "[00:07:58]

His eyes were still beautiful deep brown [00:08:03]

His lips still chocolatey and orangey [00:08:06]

"Shit " I said "I was never a breast man anyway "[00:08:08]
