[00:00.51] ‘It feels like we could make something happen
[00:02.45] That ain’t ever happened before.’
[00:04.67] ‘Let’s never get bored
[00:06.62] Of each other.’
[00:07.52] ‘And let’s always want more
[00:09.08] Of each other.’
[00:10.19] They lay on the floor with each other
[00:12.54] Amazed by how right it felt
[00:15.13] They smiled and they caught their breath
[00:17.43] And they thought of nothing else
[00:20.21] They lay there silent
[00:21.04] Not touching
[00:21.73] She’s crying
[00:22.47] Backs to each other
[00:24.08] And he’s sighing
[00:25.03] Three days straight fighting
[00:26.31] ‘I can’t bear your self-importance.’
[00:27.90] ‘I don’t like you when you’re like this.’
[00:29.62] ‘You haven’t even kissed me for days’
[00:30.98] ‘How can I want to kiss you
[00:32.69] When all your lips say
[00:34.18] Is how *****tty I’ve been and how little I care?’
[00:36.54] ‘What are we doing this for?’
[00:38.45] ‘I can’t bear any more of your *****ing.’
[00:40.65] They sit there in the kitchen
[00:42.30] They didn’t look at each other
[00:43.52] They just stared at the walls
[00:44.79] And her head’s in her hands
[00:46.16] And the coffee pot falls to the floor
[00:47.74] Now he is angry and sma*****ng up tables
[00:50.22] He was thinking:
[00:51.29] ‘If I love you like I say
[00:53.64] I would not treat you this way
[00:56.55] If I love you like I think
[00:58.83] I would not make such a stink
[01:01.72] If this is what we had both hoped
[01:04.04] I don’t think I’d feel so choked
[01:06.71] If I want more, how can I get it?
[01:08.65] I’m only staying ‘cause I’m scared
[01:10.04] If I leave I’ll regret it.’
[01:11.40] Pete is at home, Becky is at work
[01:13.73] He stares out the window
[01:15.08] Trying not to let it hurt
[01:16.14] He folds up the wa*****ng
[01:17.54] He watches a bit of telly
[01:18.78] And he makes himself some dinner
[01:20.23] But he can’t eat any
[01:21.33] He knows it’s her job and that she is working hard
[01:23.74] But the thought of what she does kind of rips him apart
[01:26.03] And every time they talk about it, it just turns into a row
[01:28.39] She says ‘If you trust me, I don’t see how
[01:30.21] This can be a problem,’
[01:32.48] And he can’t find the words to say -
[01:34.00] I don’t want your hands
[01:35.18] On another man’s vertebrae
[01:36.53] He don’t have a leg to stand on
[01:38.20] He ain’t earning
[01:39.00] And she’s got rent to pay
[01:40.13] And books to buy
[01:40.95] She is determined
[01:41.66] To support herself
[01:42.59] But he looks at his girlfriend
[01:43.95] And feels like
[01:44.77] He is in love with a whirlwind
[01:46.58] She rips him to pieces every night
[01:48.22] And every morning
[01:49.02] He finds himself doubting things
[01:50.72] That used to be important
[01:51.60] He drifted from his mates and he lost contact with his brother
[01:53.92] All they really had now was each other
[01:56.49] Eventually he gave in, he said
[01:58.36] ‘If you think it’s right
[01:58.96] Then go ahead and work
[02:00.22] But please don’t work tonight.’
[02:01.54] Then she said:
[02:03.15] ‘If you love me like you say
[02:05.25] You would not push me away
[02:07.75] If you love me like you think
[02:10.37] You would not make such a stink
[02:12.87] If this is what we had both hoped
[02:15.55] I don’t think that we’d feel so choked
[02:18.19] If we want more, how can we get it?
[02:20.18] You’re only staying ‘cause you’re scared
[02:21.64] If you leave you’ll regret it

[00:04.67] ' Let' s never get bored
