《Marshall Law》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Everywhere is monsters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:25] Becky danced in it

[00:00:26] The director marshall law

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

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

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

[00:00:34] Becky fidgets tells herself

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

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

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

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

[00:00:45] Nothing is hideous

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

[00:00:50] At the guy opposite

[00:00:51] Bright eyes dark shirt

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

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

[00:00:57] What's yours

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:09] They got talking

[00:01:10] Free bar exhausting decorum

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

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

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

[00:01:21] He was kinda nervous

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:55] Like a speakeasy right

[00:01:57] Chandeliers and lights

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

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

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

[00:02:02] In shitty old boozers

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:16] Harry's place

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

[00:02:19] She was half listening

[00:02:20] Half not listening

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:44] Good coke brain fast

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

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

[00:02:49] Expert quick snort

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:29] I am nearly anyway

[00:03:31] The point is

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

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

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

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

[00:03:39] I would love to

[00:03:40] Just for one day

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:14] And I

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

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

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

[00:04:20] Keep smiling

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

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

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

[00:04:25] Nod for save me

[00:04:26] They understand dance over

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

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

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

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

[00:04:35] She smiles at him

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

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

[00:04:40] Please

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:50] Finding and losing

[00:04:52] This miracle girl

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

[00:04:55] What had he said

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

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

[00:04:59] His blood roars

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:22] Not tonight
