Marshall Law - Kate Tempest[00:00:00]

Everywhere is monsters[00:00:01]

Tits out wet mouthed heads back[00:00:01]

Shouting and screaming just to prove they exist[00:00:03]

Becky's at the bar with the usual mix[00:00:06]

Of decadent fabrics and desolate lighting[00:00:09]

Everybody here has got a hyphenated second name blowing more breeze[00:00:12]

Than the wind at the weather vane[00:00:16]

Industry slimeballs showbiz big deals[00:00:18]

The cool new band with the retro feel[00:00:20]

It's the wrap party for their video[00:00:23]

Becky danced in it[00:00:25]

The director marshall law[00:00:26]

Head to toe in yellow velour[00:00:28]

Is holding court about the science of image[00:00:29]

While the sycophants giggle and grimace[00:00:32]

Becky fidgets tells herself[00:00:34]

Must stop being so cynical[00:00:36]

Everybody here is a human[00:00:38]

Even these pitiful posturing pop stars and idiots[00:00:40]

She tells herself to look again[00:00:43]

Nothing is hideous[00:00:45]

So while marshall law is wanking on about his artwork she smiles [00:00:46]

At the guy opposite[00:00:50]

Bright eyes dark shirt[00:00:51]

He raises his eyebrows in the direction of marshall[00:00:53]

My name's becky she says[00:00:55]

What's yours[00:00:57]

She was like nothing that he'd seen before[00:00:58]

Strong body soft edges with something so raw[00:01:01]

In the core of her Iris[00:01:03]

He said his name harry[00:01:05]

And never in his life had he felt so happy[00:01:07]

They got talking[00:01:09]

Free bar exhausting decorum[00:01:10]

He drank until she was so absorbing[00:01:12]

He blanked out the party[00:01:14]

The floor spun he stared at her face and felt sure something was happening here[00:01:16]

He was kinda nervous[00:01:21]

His eyes kept doing circuits of the room[00:01:22]

He drank as fast as they could serve him[00:01:24]

Then this dude comes over[00:01:26]

Sticks out a thick hand[00:01:27]

And harry looks at her[00:01:29]

Like he's just found himself in quicksand[00:01:30]

He gives this guy a wrap they shake hands[00:01:32]

Sweaty cash passed between palms[00:01:34]

No fuss bish bash yes bosh[00:01:36]

He looked at her guiltily[00:01:39]

She waved it off smiling[00:01:40]

You a shotter then right[00:01:42]

I don't care[00:01:43]

Becky all I ever wanted was a place of my own[00:01:44]

His eyes wide and trusting[00:01:47]

He's staring at her desperate for something to click[00:01:48]

He Is opening up this is it[00:01:51]

A real classy place the whole bit[00:01:53]

Like a speakeasy right[00:01:55]

Chandeliers and lights[00:01:57]

That shine off of the glasses[00:01:58]

No hype and no arseholes[00:01:59]

Instead of rotting our guts out[00:02:00]

In shitty old boozers[00:02:02]

We can be grown men listening to music[00:02:04]

Real music played with heart by real bands[00:02:07]

Not just posers looking like they're[00:02:10]

Giving B******s to mic stands[00:02:11]

And I'll be in a waistcoat dead grand[00:02:13]

Harry's place[00:02:16]

Or at least that's the plan[00:02:17]

She was half listening[00:02:19]

Half not listening[00:02:20]

Kept getting distracted by the lights flickering[00:02:21]

He looks like an outline that needs filling in[00:02:24]

He leans in close starts whispering[00:02:27]

The thing is and it's weird[00:02:30]

I never felt so able[00:02:31]

To talk like this to anybody ever[00:02:33]

Recently becky I've been really feeling the pressure[00:02:36]

I can't tell you how good it is[00:02:38]

To get this off my chest[00:02:40]

Becky's holding tight to her glass[00:02:42]

Good coke brain fast[00:02:44]

She watches his face as he talks[00:02:45]

Little bump on her fingertips[00:02:47]

Expert quick snort[00:02:49]

Sucking on a cigarette feeling vaguely bored[00:02:50]

It's true if you believe it[00:02:53]

The world is the world[00:02:56]

But it's all how you see it[00:02:57]

One man's flash of lightning ripping through the air[00:02:59]

Is another's passing glare hardly there[00:03:02]

It's true if you believe it[00:03:05]

The world is the world[00:03:07]

But it's all how you see it[00:03:08]

One man's flash of lightning ripping through the air[00:03:11]

Is another's passing glare hardly there[00:03:13]

If I'm being honest well it is[00:03:17]

It's like a trap[00:03:18]

I ain't trying to be flash[00:03:20]

I just need to raise the cash for the dream[00:03:21]

I hardly touch it myself[00:03:22]

Look it ain't that[00:03:24]

But once I set myself a task[00:03:25]

Well there ain't no going back[00:03:26]

And I am halfway there[00:03:28]

I am nearly anyway[00:03:29]

The point is[00:03:31]

I kinda had to push all of my friends away[00:03:32]

I can't have nobody[00:03:34]

Knowing what I'm up to[00:03:35]

I keep it very secret but the thing is[00:03:37]

I would love to[00:03:39]

Just for one day[00:03:40]

You know live like any other guy[00:03:41]

I can't have a girlfriend you see[00:03:43]

Cause I don't like to lie[00:03:44]

It's safer all round[00:03:45]

That I just keep my head down[00:03:46]

And yeah the business is booming[00:03:48]

Yeah the business is really booming[00:03:49]

But my family think I work in recruitment[00:03:51]

So I get up every morning[00:03:53]

And I put a shirt and suit on[00:03:55]

And I get on a train I go up town[00:03:57]

It's all professional users[00:03:59]

I sell in the boardrooms and not the boozers[00:04:00]

To like ceos and these modern day scrooges[00:04:02]

Who get their secretaries to bring me coffee[00:04:05]

It's so stupid[00:04:07]

Meant to be hard times right a recession[00:04:09]

But these guys are buying more than ever I reckon[00:04:11]

And I[00:04:14]

He's got nice eyes[00:04:14]

Shame about his Issues though[00:04:15]

The party pushes on her cynicism's getting vicious show nothing[00:04:17]

Keep smiling[00:04:20]

She catches the eye of her mates[00:04:21]

They're dancing by the bar[00:04:23]

They're in a state[00:04:24]

Nod for save me[00:04:25]

They understand dance over[00:04:26]

Put their arms around her shoulders[00:04:28]

Becky we're bored let's go[00:04:30]

His mouth slows to a stop[00:04:32]

He seems to lose his composure[00:04:33]

She smiles at him[00:04:35]

Yeah was nice getting to know ya[00:04:36]

No not like that don't leave[00:04:38]

Please[00:04:40]

Don't make her go we've just got started[00:04:40]

Their teeth are bare their feet are planted[00:04:44]

Their smirking at him like he's dirt[00:04:46]

And now his heart is[00:04:47]

Damp with the fury of[00:04:49]

Finding and losing[00:04:50]

This miracle girl[00:04:52]

He feels weak with confusion like[00:04:53]

What had he said[00:04:55]

How long had he talked[00:04:56]

He watches them walk to the doors[00:04:57]

His blood roars[00:04:59]

In the back of the cab the girls sit there giggling[00:05:01]

The driver lets them smoke out of the window[00:05:03]

So they're shivering[00:05:05]

They pass a bottle of wine back and forth[00:05:06]

Let it clash against their teeth[00:05:08]

The cab moves fast through the streets[00:05:09]

Who was that guy you was with[00:05:11]

Becky shakes her head softly[00:05:14]

Him I don't know probably alright[00:05:15]

But I could tell he was one of them save me types[00:05:18]

And I couldn't be dealing with that[00:05:21]

Not tonight[00:05:22]
