Ballad Of Tindersticks - Tindersticks[00:00:00]

The first time we flew it[00:00:02]

It was cheap and cramped[00:00:04]

The vodka running out[00:00:07]

Half-way across the Atlantic[00:00:08]

Even the steward screamed[00:00:11]

And joined in it[00:00:12]

We didn't think we were[00:00:14]

Going to make it[00:00:15]

Now we're stretched out in wide[00:00:18]

Furry seats[00:00:19]

Flicking through menus[00:00:21]

A walk to the bar and there's[00:00:23]

As much screw-top champagne[00:00:25]

As we can drink[00:00:27]

We're so easy[00:00:29]

Taking turns having[00:00:33]

Our photos taken[00:00:35]

Sitting in front of smoked windows[00:00:36]

Decanters of cheap[00:00:40]

Whiskey in our hands[00:00:41]

Drive into Manhattan on a date[00:00:44]

With a starlet who's just talent[00:00:46]

That's what people[00:00:52]

Pay the money to see[00:00:53]

Who're we to argue[00:00:55]

Five hours now[00:00:58]

It's been going on[00:00:58]

And still we're watching all of it[00:01:01]

Can you really believe all this[00:01:04]

Can he really lie in bed at night[00:01:07]

And marvel at his own genius[00:01:09]

When do you lose the[00:01:11]

Ability to step back[00:01:12]

And get a sense of[00:01:14]

Your own ridiculousness[00:01:15]

They're only songs[00:01:18]

Midnight and it's all over[00:01:21]

Now it can really make us laugh[00:01:25]

We're standing on our heads[00:01:27]

Drinking sours of Crystel Schnapps[00:01:29]

Now we're unable to[00:01:32]

Step back or step forward[00:01:33]

Swallowing a swallow[00:01:37]

Tasting it again[00:01:39]

It's not so unpleasant[00:01:40]

Perhaps it's an acquired taste[00:01:42]

The first time[00:01:45]

It makes you sick[00:01:46]

Then little by little[00:01:48]

It becomes delicious[00:01:49]

Showbiz people[00:01:52]

Always there to be interested[00:01:54]

In what you have say[00:01:55]

We are artists[00:01:57]

We are sensitive and important[00:01:59]

We nod our heads earnestly[00:02:02]

Already half-way down the champagne[00:02:04]

On our way to leaving the place dry[00:02:08]

A $2 000 bar bill[00:02:12]

Showbiz picks up the tab[00:02:14]

And we're on our way laughing[00:02:16]

Laughing at what[00:02:19]

Los Angeles[00:02:23]

Eight days in[00:02:25]

And our sense of irony's[00:02:27]

Running pretty thin[00:02:28]

All the friends we've made[00:02:30]

It's 2 a m [00:02:33]

It's closing time at the Dresden[00:02:34]

Marty and Layton play one last[00:02:37]

Sleepy "Strangers in the Night"[00:02:39]

And the last of the martinis[00:02:42]

Dribble down our chins[00:02:43]

We're sitting[00:02:47]

Chasing the conservation[00:02:47]

Around the table[00:02:49]

Jesus how long have[00:02:51]

I been in this state[00:02:52]

The limousine's still waiting outside[00:02:54]

Anything you want to do[00:02:57]

Anywhere you want to go[00:03:00]

We're on our way to the airport[00:03:02]

And a plane to Vegas[00:03:05]

So many nights lying in bed shaking[00:03:09]

Dreaming of pushing my daughter[00:03:13]

Around the supermarket[00:03:14]

The joy of seein' all those colors[00:03:17]

And shapes reflect[00:03:19]

In her wide eyes[00:03:20]

My head leaning on the window[00:03:25]

And we're driving through[00:03:27]

The empty L A streets[00:03:28]

And everything seems silent[00:03:30]

And beautiful[00:03:31]

A guy's face hits the floor[00:03:33]

Police revolvers glistening[00:03:36]

In the streetlight[00:03:37]

Onto Melrose and lurching[00:03:40]

Through a sea of Halloween transvestites[00:03:42]

The flight's canceled[00:03:46]

But it doesn't matter[00:03:47]

We turn this corner to a way[00:03:49]

That takes us wherever[00:03:51]

Up to sunset[00:03:54]

We creep up the drive[00:03:57]

To the Shattuck[00:03:58]

The suite Belushi died in[00:04:00]

Or the one Morrison hung[00:04:02]

Out the window[00:04:04]

Oh I'll go for Jim's[00:04:06]

I would fancy a hotel[00:04:08]

Window-hanging[00:04:09]

Myself tonight man[00:04:10]

Straight over to the mini-bar[00:04:13]

Open the champagne[00:04:15]

One sip and it's left[00:04:17]

To wake up to[00:04:19]

Anyone hungry[00:04:21]

A team of uniformed waiters[00:04:23]

Lay out an elaborate table[00:04:24]

For all us to ignore[00:04:27]

Oh the irony[00:04:29]

How we're used to living[00:04:32]

And back in London[00:04:43]

On a cold Friday night[00:04:44]

Do you want another drink[00:04:46]

Well I could try[00:04:48]

Perhaps we could[00:04:51]

Make it to the Atlantic[00:04:51]

600 yards twenty minutes later[00:04:54]

We're pushing through[00:04:58]

The waiting crowd[00:04:58]

All fish eyes[00:05:01]

An exclusive door policy[00:05:03]

Exclusively for arseholes[00:05:05]

And tonight[00:05:08]

Well a nod of our heads[00:05:09]

And we're inside[00:05:12]

Falling down the red[00:05:14]

Velvety stairs[00:05:15]

Limbs flaying[00:05:18]

Hands searching for[00:05:20]

Something to steady[00:05:21]

Pick ourselves up[00:05:24]

Nothing broken[00:05:25]

Just aches in the morning[00:05:27]

No one seems to notice[00:05:30]

I find a table[00:05:33]

Champagne arrives[00:05:35]

I've been so drunk[00:05:37]

I sit and look at you[00:05:39]

We try and talk for[00:05:41]

The first time in a long time[00:05:42]

Drunken confession[00:05:45]

You shiver[00:05:47]

It made you feel sick[00:05:48]

We use the rent money[00:05:52]

To pay the bill[00:05:53]

Bumping shoulders[00:05:54]

We stumble out into Soho[00:05:56]

Slipping over the sleeping bags[00:05:58]

Shouting for taxis[00:06:00]
