How much is a plane ticket to London? Yeah. Anyway, what about the band? The band will be fine. Just go to London and get a record deal. Come back and just get us out of this shithole. That's not a bad idea, actually. Mm.

That was a novelty act. You want to have actual sexual intercourse, right? - Yeah. What, what? - The girl. It's all about the girl, isn't it? Yeah, the girl, yeah. And you're gonna use somebody else's art to get her? Are you kidding? We're just starting. We need to learn how to play. Did the Sex Pistols know how to play? You don't need to know how to play. Who are you? Steely Dan? You need to learn how not to play, Conor. That's the trick. That's rock and roll. And that takes practice. And you're not a covers band, by the way. - Really? - No. Every school has a covers band. Every pub has a covers band. Every wedding has a covers band. And every covers band has a middle-aged member who'll never know whether they could've made it in the music industry or not because they never had the balls to write a song for someone else. Rock and roll is a risk. You risk being ridiculed. But I don't know how to write a song. Close that door and sit down. - Really? - It's gonna be a long night. I've school in the morning. This is school. "She's standing on the corner like an angel in disguise. "I want to try and warn her. She's got dangerous eyes." "Dangerous eyes." I like that. What does it mean? I don't know. What's the song about, Conor?

Okay. You call as soon as you get there. - No messing, all right? - I will. Okay. All right. Hey, uh, before you go, I... wrote down some song lyrics. - Really? - Yeah, it's pretty stream of consciousness stuff, but it's about this kid and a girl. In the future. - Put some music to it sometime. - Okay. Wish I'd done this.

What'd you think of the song? I really liked it. It's the only reason I'm here. Did you write it? Eamon wrote most of the music. So you wrote the lyrics? Cool.

Who's that, Barry? If it's the TV license man, tell him to piss off. What do yous want? - We want to talk to you. - Shut up, you stupid bitch! You know what, Barry, you think you're different from us, and you are. You're bleedin' nuts. We all have one thing in common... me, you and him. We're all shit at school. We're bleedin' useless. - So? - What are you gonna do when you get kicked out of school? Stay at home with your ma and da watching day-time telly, getting wasted? Yeah, okay. Well, we're gonna be in a band. Gigging, on the road. Different venues each night, different women. And d'you know what bands need? What do bands need? Roadies. Someone who is strong. Someone who can fight. Get in here, Barry, and get us another beer! You worthless shite! I'm a worthless shite. I mean, what would you want with me in a fag band? Being in a band is like being in the army. Everyone has everyone's back. D'you think you're up for it? Get in here and get us another can, Barry, or do you want another smack?

# When you were starin' at your bedroom wall # # With only ghosts beside you # # Somewhere out where the wind was calling # # I was on my way to find you # # I was on my way to find you # # When you were racin' like a cannonball # # In roller skates and sky blue # # Or in the backseat watching the slow rain fallin' # # I was on my way to find you # # I gotta find out who I'm meant to be # # I don't believe in destiny # # But with every word you swear to me # # All my beliefs start caving in # # And I feel something's # # About to change # # So bring the lightning # # Bring the fire, bring the fall # # I know I'll get my heart through # # Got miles to go # # But from the day I started crawlin' # # I was on my way to find you # # I was on my way to find you # # On my way # # Every day # # I was on my way to find you. # Okay. So this is our last song, so come back in. Don't worry, it's a fast one. It's about this school, and it's for Brother Baxter. Lights! Oh, oh, yeah, right.
