of the month counterfeit lectures every other week embassy wise lunch every tuesday we're very predictable i'm
afraid there's also drama society they're auditioning soon

acting's not really something i've had very much experience on
[Music]
tiny mouth pier you are that was the last time i had a fishing
rod in my hand oh freezing my bollocks off the mouth of the time

you know what he means what do you mean who do you miss
[Music] well my son were one oh yeah
missed a lot of him growing up unfortunately that included the moment
he started putting his key in the back door so to speak
no one else though nope but if you've got someone like b*mber
hearts you'd be less inclined to want to trip shadows all the way around the planet wouldn't you
i don't get it i thought that was the whole attraction people changed boxing even us
don't want us to change do you want to change us
too late now i've got one i've got one
one more than i ever got in jail it in there no no no no please please let me down ready yeah please oh man oh my god

i landed oh london you lost track of time it was an epic contest
man against fish and it's not just about brute strength you know you know oh no no you need guillem cunning
you've got to play the boogers and he played it like stradivarius on
the ukulele then when i eventually landed it i just sat there
flapping the wood on the sea wall
when we looked at each other were the adversaries i was going to hold
back in but the crowd wouldn't let him no no they wanted to send it to the museum of
fish
that's amazing guys it really is
do you think that's enough for seven or uh should we bought another one
ah i knew you was lying so have you thought over anything we
talked about last time i thought about nothing else now what i
mean is have you come to any conclusions formulated any strategies
i'm paralyzed with dopamine paralyzed
obviously terrified of rejection we've all been there but you're not going to find any peace
of mind until you choose a path and stick to it ah
