It's actually, uh, in case you poison me. Oh. No, that is actually policy. Um, if you wouldn't mind following me just so the unit can get a sense of the location? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. We need to-- Get up!

Poor Roisin. - She wants a little brother. I'm just joking. How's that? Is that all right? Simone! Simone! What's the matter? What's the matter? It's cold outside. You love to pretend like you don't see me calling you, huh? I'm sorry, I thought it was an emergency! Yeah, it is! Your vagina called and told me it's dying. Hi, honey! How you've been? What are you doing? You get more and more beautiful every day. - Yvonne! - Mm-hm? - What are you doing? - Nothing. You? Mandy, I got a question for you. How bomb would your mum... look in... this! - I'm too tired for this, babe. - Woo. - Yvonne. - Yes? - What are you doing? - We are going out. - Auntie Vonnie? - Yes? My mother has no interest in going out. That's a clever girl. Look at that. Oh. Go to sleep before I pitch you off the balcony. Mm-hmm. Yvonne, even your mum has more fun. Yeah, because my mum has zero responsibilities. - I've got responsibilities, thank you. - She got another responsibility. Ooh!

Good afternoon. We are court-appointed bailiffs. - And are you Mr. Barney Bickerstaff? - Yeah. We're here regarding an unpaid council tax fine. This place is legend. - Are you the owner? - Actually, my dad left it to me. It used to be ram up. I had some magical times in this gaff. Uh, did you receive the invoice, sir? 820, including costs. You can have what I've got. I'm going to carry out a possessions inventory for the amount of 820. Minus the cash, of course. And then remove goods for that amount. You sign here. Um, sorry. Could I have a look at that chair? Don't know.Don't know. About a fiver each? A tenner? Yeah. - Yeah, I know it's important. - Gotta get stuff done. - Sent my CV to everyone. - You done it? Stapled my prison release form to the back and everything. - Are you serious right now? You're mad. - That was a joke, Mother, calm down. Don't mess about. Sometimes your head is gone. I don't know where your head is. - Focus and do what you need to do. What? - Mum? I'm just getting some messages through. It might be about work. What messages? About who? Oh, you are such a liar. Yes, I am lying to you, but I love you. Oh, yeah. How was it having Grandma babysit? I think you turned out pretty well, considering. Hey! Have some respect. I know, but it's the truth! Yeah, well, I think you turned out pretty well, considering. You're a great mum. Yeah. It's me and you, baby... against the world. - I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. - You'll have to move it. No, no, no. I'm sorry, madam. This is the optimal position for monitoring. I can't have that in the middle of my prayer meetings! Well, you move it again, it'll trigger further responses! Well, of course I'm gonna have to move it. How can I clean it without moving it? Who's your manager? - This is what I was talking about. - You do the crime... but I pay the price! It's like he thinks there's some kind of free ride in this world. I am wearied by this. I'm tired. You know, he was a heavy baby. I spent 20 hours in labor with him. - Really? - Why? Because his head's so big. Hello? Tomorrow night. I'm available tomorrow night. Don't come with no expectations. No, no, no, I won't. Do you even know who this is? Of course I know who this is. Simone, right? Good. Eight o'clock. Can we make it 6:30? Okay. Good. Shit. Star & Garter. Have a good one! Come on! Woo! - Food time! - Can we get kebabs? Hey. Who's this? I'm Kestrel. Move from the kid. You've grown so big. I've got no right to call myself your dad. - But-- - What you doing here? Hmm? - Look, just-- - I was wondering, Mandy. I was wondering if, um... if you would like to spend some time together. No. No, no, no, no, no. Definitely not. - Gotta say, man, Jake's is looking good. - Thanks, man. You know, it was your dad that inspired me. RIP and that. Yeah, but, you know... The moon waxes... and the moon wanes. You know? And then you pretty even run out of waning. No, listen. Look. That's real. And I want you to have that. Yeah? What you gonna do with it? Jake's Dirty Pizza Lounge. Yeah, I've seen the future. Spelt crusts and fit birds. Don't tell me you don't want none of that. See, that's the mistake you made with this place. You know, all this... community shit. Cheap food for the elders and that. Nah! People don't want inclusivity, mate. They want exclusivity. And something for the gluten intolerant. So, do you wanna celebrate? - Hi. - Hey. Sorry, I... I didn't know. It doesn't mention the crackheads who fight here nightly. Look, this property comes with regular morning performances from a local street artist. Every morning. The city died when we wasn't looking. Do you like ungentrified food? I love ungentrified food. - This way. - Thank you. - You look lovely! - Thank you. You too. Smells good in here, no? Really does. - Hey, guys. - Hello. Nibble bits are on the house. Have you guys been before? - I've been here before. - I haven't. - Have a read at the menu. - Okay, thank you. I'm a pig, sorry. Wow! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. They do really good, uh, smoothies here as well. - Yeah? - I recommend this one. Mango, tamarind, ginger. That's got milk. I don't drink milk. - Why not? What's wrong with milk? - I'm just not a baby cow, so... You're one of thoseStar & Garter people. You're one of those vegan, no gluten, no nothing-- How dare you compare-- No. - I am... I'm just healthy. - Yeah? Star & Garter. That's fucking blasphemous. - Know what I'm eating? - What you eating? - I'm eating this meat platter. - Oh, meat. Man must eat meat. - It's good protein! - Man must eat protein. Don't you want like a big strong guy to look after you? Ah, you know, I'm pretty strong myself. - Been taking care of me for a while now. - All right. Just offering. Oh. So where are you from anyway? I'm from the wild, wild west. So, is that... is that in... the UK? Kilburn. Oh, wow! That's the west where it's wild. AKA wild, wild-- Kill... as in Kil-burn. - That's why they call it-- Wow! - Wild, wild west. Amazing. Sexy ankle bracelet. Yeah, it's one of those new smartwatches. That is... exactly something my daughter would say. I take that as a compliment. You got kids? No. You don't... think you do. Watch it. So, can I ask? What did you do? - It was going so well. - Sorry! Nah, it's all right. I can tell you, um... I was silly. I was an idiot. I was unlucky. I was walking out of the pub, ten o'clock, I see this mate of mine. And he says, "Come back to mine for a smoke." And in retrospect, I probably should have been checking for this brother's juddery demeanor, his general drunkenness, and he had this strange look in his eye. But at the time I said, "Cool, let's go." And we walked past this silver car, and he notices this laptop in the back seat. - Mm-hmm. - So, he just... tries his luck and tries to open the door, and he goes, "It's open," so he goes in. Before I can stop him, he's all looking in the glove box and stuff. And lo and behold, what he finds is a wad of cash, a bag of pills, and a bag of coke. And so he decides, being the man that he is, to snort a considerable amount of that coke. And um, yeah, madness ensued. It wasn't coke, it was ketamine. - No. - Yeah. So he's in the car, he's losing his shit, he's all high as a kite. And he accidentally locks himself in the car. Then what happens next is he knocks the CD player and the music starts blaring out. And so here's where I get involved. Because of me being the man I am, you know, I decided to do the selfless thing, you know, and, um, to try and help him out of the car. I give the window a little nudge. It completely shattersbecause I'm a strong guy. That's no secret, yeah? And as I'm pulling him out, that's when the Feds come weaving round the corner. They see me. I'm half in the car. I'm like,"Officer, it's not what it looks like." And they're like, "It probably is, mate. Put your hands on the car." That's the long and short of it. Pretty much how it went down. - You sure you don't want to... try this? - Wow. God, I mean... Wow. - Wow. That's what I said. - Yeah. I was like, if that's what's happening to a good Samaritan like me, then... Sick world. That is some bullshit. I know. That whole story is bullshit. You're chatting shit. Yeah? Bullshit. That's the truth. God's honest truth. Okay, maybe I wanted a little bit of that money. - Right. - I mean, it was free money. You know, can you blame me? It's not as if I was like robbing from a saint. It was clearly from a bad place, or whatever. So, yeah... And I got unlucky, as well. Because when the coppers came, they searched the car, there was 20 grand in the boot, and some weapons and stuff, our fingerprints all over this stolen car. So I was awarded three years at Her Majesty's pleasure. And given this... thing. Yeah. A souvenir. Yeah, something like that. Where's your mate? He's in a galaxy far, far away. It was a big error of judgment. And are you prone to making errors of judgment? I dunno. So what do you do now? What do you wanna do? Career? Employment? You have a lot of questions. I'm sorry. I've just met you. Fair enough. I have a job. Yeah. Like everyone else. What do you do? You know how you don't mean to ask a woman her age? Um, is this... is this really one of those-- This is one of those questions. - Okay. - Yeah. I mean, when a guy is fresh out of prison, you're not meant to askhow he makes a living and where he's living. That's just-- you don't ask. - Noted. - Good. Noted. So where do you live? That's your last question of the evening. Yes, Your Honor, it is my last question. - I live at home with my mum. - Where's your dad? My dad died when I was little. Sorry. It's all right. I had to kill him, he was out of control. Maybe that's why you went to prison. Murder. You haven't eaten anything. No... Not hungry? Not as much. - You can get something to go. - Let's get it to go. Excuse me! Um, can we get this in a takeaway box, please? We didn't buy anything. That's so rude. We can leave, like, a big tip. You know, I used to think this hill wasn't for people like me. A hill is a hill. It don't belong to no one person. Why don't you come a bit closer? What for? What do you mean, "what for"? You've gone all shy. Shy. Yeah. I have, as well. Where's your mum? Working nights. She's a midwife. Wait. You don't think I'm that easy? Got you. It'd be a pleasure to have you around. - For tea. - For tea. - Uh-huh. - Just tea. - Evening, is that Raymond Legendre? - Yeah, it is. Hi. Yeah, it's showing in the system you're two minutes late for curfew. - Yeah, I know. - Can you give a reason for this? The evening just flowed Can you feel my heart beating? The whole night just flowed I can feel my heart beating. The data just flowed Fashioned from thunder And chiseled With gold Gold It's funny how You can feel so lonely And never show it How you can feel so lonely And never know it Cause you touched me You can take me This feeling I don't understand And I don't know who I am - You creeping away? - I have to go. Okay. Okay. There she is. Early morning things, yeah? I'm surprised you can still walk. Shh. Morning, baby. There's a fire Deep inside me And I Don't wanna put out the flames Walking a high wire Above the city Don't know the rules Of this dangerous game What's this feeling That I'm feeling? Feeling like I'm born again From the moment That I saw her I knew I'd never feel the same This woman's got me in a tailspin And I'm not able to pull out Feels like I'm gonna crash and burn Tear the wreckage out my heart She's gonna burn ya The girl's gonna burn ya She's gonna burn ya, burn your heart She's gonna, the girl's gonna burn ya She's gonna burn your heart Those eyes of hers bewitch me They dazzle me, confuse me Don't know which way is up or down She's gonna burn your heart That voice of hers like honey Flows warmly, flowing smoothly Don't wanna hear no other sound Now I'm hoping Hoping For a future Future Forgetting all that's in my past I've been searching Been searching A lonely hunter Hunter She turns it all to smoke and ash I just can't go on Without her in my arms - I just can't go on - There's a fire deep inside me, yeah Whoa Oh Raymond! Raymond! Mum! We're gonna be late for school! Get out the shower! Come on! I've got maths club! Ben's gonna be waiting! Mum! I'm tired. My feet are sore. Mum! We need to leave now Right now. What's in my lunchbox? Well, madam, today we have the tuna tartare. Hello. Hello. Um... I'll introduce myself, then. Hello! - I came to give you this.Cool. - Thank you. - Why have you got my mum's bangle? - Don't ask questions. I'm, uh, your mum's mate. Mate, as in "friend." Thanks. Good to see you. Okay. Good to see you. Take care. - Okay. - Yup. Bye. - You know. I just came to give you-- - Yup. Okay. Bye. Mummy's got a boyfriend. Excuse me! Do you think that's smart, talking to me like that? - That's very disrespectful, understand? - Why are you being so weird? Don't ask me why I'm being weird. I'm not your friend at school. It's very rude. Go to school. Go on. - Stay for a second. - I need to work. - Well, can I see you again? - What? Can I see you again? Without the sex. Just me and you, hanging. I'll think about it. Who is it, huh, against the whole wide world? Me and you. Exactly. It is me and you. Hi, Simone. Um, it would be lovely to see you again. So, uh yeah. Bye. Call him now. Don't you want more of that sweet chocolate? What's your problem? I don't know. What if he's just... playing games, innit? Babes, games are fun! What are you afraid of? Getting cavities? Or have you got diabetes? Simone? Sim-- You know what? I didn't like babies, but I do now because of you. One problem though. I don't understand what they're saying. Sort of like women. You've got to... think of it from her point of view. You're not exactly a catch, with your fresh out of prison, still living with your mother vibe. It's... It's hardly what girls dream about. Girls don't dream about this, yeah? I got my own car. Why, this is sexy, you know? Let me tell you about this car. When I'm coming, I can let them know by just-- a little beep. See that? See? She responded. This one is the lights on the top. When I'm cruising down, all the mummies run out of the cafes and they're like, "There he goes again, Raymond Legendre!" It's mad. It's mental. Have you finished? You're deflecting. You're deflecting. This is why I don't have girlfriends. Too much stress. Uncle Raymond's deflecting. Hmm? Hi, Yvonne. It's second floor, on the right. Hey! Listen. If your mum finds out about this, we're both screwed, you get me? This is about me. Either you come with me, or I do it alone. I'm doing it. Pass my crutches. Go on, then. Well done. Well done. Come on, babe. Hi. Mandy. What are you staring at? I didn't really know what you like, so, um, I've got us crisps and... sweets... as well. It's gonna take a little bit more than biscuits and sweets. How are you? - Do you dislike me? - No. Why'd you ask? You've haven't spent one minute with me before today. That's cause, um... That's cause I've been an idiot. Hmm. Do you dislike me? Jury's still out. You all right, ladies? Hey, baby. You have fun at Auntie Vonnie's? What's wrong? What? Why didn't you tell me Dad lived down the road? I mean, she was gonna go without me. You know what she's like. She's... confident and outspoken, and that's amazing. I mean, you weren't there. He didn't look all that bad. He kinda looked... good. It was the wrong decision. I... This is, um... - This is my problem. - Yeah. 'Cause you are a child. You haven't grown up. And I've been leaving my child in your care. What did I expect? Look at you. Still looking like you're 16, fresh out of secondary school, with your pink hair and earrings and your leopard whatever shit! What did I really expect? Flip out the lights Stack up all the chairs A harsh wind tonight A blast of ice cold air It's closing time And I'm closing up For good One more for the road Make it large and extra strong My heart's about to explode If I don't sing my own sweet song 'Cause it's closing time And I'm closing up For good And I've tried I've tried When you see the things that I've seen You just Stop If you ever see my daughter again, I'll grind you into gristle and I'll feed you to the foxes, you understand? - Yeah. - Yeah. Look, Simone, okay, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Mandy, okay? What did you say when I was pregnant? I told you to get rid of it. But I can't take that back. You don't deserve to see my child. And you don't deserve to call her your child! She's my child! My daughter! You don't deserve it. You don't... fucking... deserve... She's mine. Harsh times that we've been through Have turned you hard Unfreeze your heart Let down your guard Oh, Simone 'Cause even I Can change I can change for the better Simone 'Cause nothing's set in stone A friendship ain't a friendship until it's tested. She don't make it easy to love her, Barney. Love ain't never easy, Yvonne.

Something dirty! What? Jan-kwee-ah. This is great! It's Polish for "thank you." Mum? - Can I ask you a question? - No. About Dad. No. After he left you-- No, he left us! He left us. All right. After he left us. How come you didn't... meet anyone else? What are you saying, Simone? I met lots of people. Several. Like Tomasz, but-- Yes, like Tomasz! Jan-kwee-ah... very much. Did you love Dad? I loved that man too much. - Too much. - Did you ever love anyone else? Oh, I love you. And I love Mandy. But-- That man shattered the love right out of me. Does Tomasz know that? They figure it out.

Something you want to hear me say? Yeah! I want you to say, "Simone..." Simone. You are... strong enough to put it behind you. You're strong enough to put it behind you. Do you think so? Okay. Thank you. Yeah, you're more than welcome. I've stopped Breathing in Since I saw you My heart Would break If you saw me now So, I'll Stay here in the dark Everything is changing oh so fast I don't know where to start And I know that there's No turning back If this is the truth Then the truth hurts More than you will ever know If this is the truth Then the truth hurts More than you will ever know I want so much To give you my heart But all I give is closed eyes And silence I don't know, I don't know I don't know what I want If this is the truth Then the truth hurts There's a light around you What if he hurts me? There's a light around you What if I lose my way again?

You ain't got a phone, no? Uh, can-- can-- can we talk? Yeah, we-- we can talk. When? Now? Can you give us a second? We can talk. Chill. It's cool. I get it. Do you want a tea, babe? My mum's gonna be back soon. I thought that was your mum. I only had the one girl The creature made me toes uncurl Lost my love Lost my angel Sent from above Now my heart is in danger It's been too Long Since I last saw her face It's been too Long Since I waved goodbye When I think of her And I think of her All the time I just hang my head And start to cry Got bad ideas in my head I've got murder on my mind I'm gonna take this vengeance Out on him Oh, it's him I have to find Too long He took my girl He took my girl From me Gonna hurt the man who stole her, the man who now holds her, like a soldier. A brave soldier. I'm gonna slice the man, dice the man, I won't rest until I ice the man. Now violence inspires my blood like a virus. My phone crashed. I've been waiting for an upgrade. I ain't even gonna pick that lie apart. Look, come here. No, I'd love to, but I need this package dropped off in 30. So go do your job. All right. Hey. You all right? What was so important, then? We're going to play a game of pool. And a game... of truth. Okay, so, I've definitely never played truth pool. You'll have to show me the ropes. Who's this? Your chaperone? No, I'm actually her maths partner. There you go. Okay, Dad. Truth. What exactly happened with you and Mum? Uh... you not got any easier ones? No. Um, when me and your mum first got together, we were-- we were very young. We loved each other very much. It was great. When you get older, sometimes it just doesn't work out, and... you have to live away from each other. He's lying. Yeah. You're lying. Okay. But the truth is... I was selfish. And I was an addict. Because I was selfish, I couldn't face the responsibility of looking after you, so I ran away. Your shot. Mandy, what you doing here? Where's your mum? - Who's this guy? - This is Kestrel. My dad. Who's this? We're about to find out. Raymond, we're playing a truth game and you're up next. - You wanna play? - All right. What do you think of my mum? Kestrel is Mum's first love. So... reckon you've got a chance? She got barriers. I messed up and she pushed me away. - Reckon you've got a chance? - No, I blew it, mate. Are you in love with my mum? How are you, Raymond Legendre? Fine. I have waited so long to have you in this position. What have I done to you? I almost don't know what to do with you, I'm so pleased with myself! Be reasonable! Hey, what's this all about? Just wondering what the best way is to prolong your suffering. Get my full three years' worth. - I don't even know you. - You do know me. I never knew I'd see an angel I didn't want to squander the chance Perfect angel And ever since that fateful day I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love and it won't go away I watched you spellbind my woman in front of me. And that's why you have to die. I'm gonna cut you until I can't see you. And when I can't see you, I'm gonna cut what you was. Gimme a pull of that spliff. Mate, you're about to cut me up, you can't give me two drags? You don't know what love is. To wake up and see her face in the ceiling. To talk to her even though she's not there. To want her to touch you so bad. To feel your heart burst with tenderness. - My love for her is mystical. - Lyrical. Metaphysical, yeah. It's hell, isn't it? Stroke my hair like how my mum did. Okay if I leave him here? Mum? Mum! She's not in her room. - Listen, what? - She's not in her room! - Mandy? - Mandy! Why did you not call me if you were tired? I would have come home. - She was in bed! - Mandy! Mandy! Look! Where have you been? Mandy, why would you leave the house without asking for permission? All you had to was wake her up and say you wanna go out. It's not smart, Mandy, it's not clever to do that. If someone takes your wheelchair, how are you getting home? - She knows that. - No, she obviously doesn't. That's why she left the house. - How could you be so stupid? - I didn't want to turn out like you. - Why are you saying that to me? - You push everyone away. Dad, Raymond, Auntie Vonnie. I don't push everybody away. I don't push you away, do I? Sometimes you're scary. Baby, why would you say I'm scary? I'm not trying to scare you. I'm trying to look after you. I don't want it to be just you and me against the world. Auntie Vonnie took me to see Kestrel because I made her. She loves me. And she loves you too. Okay. Okay. Okay. - Can you watch her for a bit, please? - Yeah. - Call his parents. - Yeah. Have you, um... have you pissed on the stick yet? I can't. What do you mean, you can't? I'm scared. I'm the fun girl. I'm not the... mum girl or the family girl. Who says? Hmm? It's not necessarily yours. Right. Ain't necessarily not mine. Let me know how it goes, yeah? I'm okay, Conrad. Conrad, okay! Okay, Conrad! Leave this woman-- Look, I need... space. Let me know when you're done with your space, yeah? Don't I know you? Oh... Fuck. Are you coming? I can't have a baby, Gil. It would fuck everything up. What's it gonna fuck up? My self-defeating patterns. - What do you mean? - The good time has to stop. Why stop if it's a good time? Don't know. What do you like to do that you don't anymore? - I don't do it any more. - Exactly. Yeah. if I have a baby, that's what they'll do to me. - What? - That's what the baby will do to me. - The baby'll hunt you with a kebab knife? - Huh? - That's what I don't do. - What? No, I don't want to talk about it, but there's things I've stopped doing. But we need to find an answer, and only your piss will give us that answer. Would you hold my hand while I piss on this stick? Yeah, I can hold your hand while you piss on that stick. Look how you're smiling. You're a fucking pervert. Don't move! - So? - What? Are you a mum? Are you pregnant? Oh, man. Shit. But are you pregnant? So, wait... I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know what's the matter with me. Um, I'm not happy-- I'm not happy because I'm supposed to be happy, but I'm not happy because I'm not happy, you know? You're not happy because you're not pregnant. Yeah, I'm not happy because I'm not pregnant. Yeah. So you wanted to be pregnant. Course not. Who wants to be fucking pregnant? Lots of people. The baby would have been so fucking cute. 'Cause I'm cute. You're supposed to say "Yeah, Yvonne you're cute." I wouldn't say you're cute. Cute's like small. I'd say you're more magnificent. Thanks. I like that. That's all right. I'm sorry I hit you. That's all right. I'll get over it. Do you know what cheers me up when I'm feeling down? Come on. Oh, my coat! Is this what you want? Is this what you want? That's what it's about. Just walking round... Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam! I got a new friend now. What? Hmm? I held your hand while you gave birth. And I rubbed that nipple cream on your titties when they were sore from breastfeeding. I've rubbed cream on your titties. I'm sorry. Yvonne, I need you. No, I'm sorry. I should have asked, I should have told you. I need you. - You look like you're crying, bro. - Who's crying, bro? No one's crying. You? I don't know. I don't know. Don't cry. I'll slap you if you cry, bro. I'll slap you. I'll slap you in the face with one of my tits. As if. Yeah, I could. They're saggy enough. Sorry. Don't come anywhere near me. Stay away from me. What you gonna do now? I... am going to buy Mandy a kebab. What? - A kebab. - Whoa! Oh, by the way, this is Gil. All right? Hmm. Mmm-mmm. - What? - What are you doing? - I don't smell. - Ew. Tequila. Please. Tequila. Now. - What's your name? - Barney. Barney. Barney, please can I have a tequila? I fucking hate men, Barney. You've come to the right place, 'cause there's none in here. Well... Where you been? I texted your ass about a million times. Oh, I've been with Barney, babe. I like it. Yes. No queues in here, Dave. Let's get everyone down here. Really? Thank you. Cheers, boss. Um... I guess it's, uh... it's Raymond. Isn't it? No kebab for me. What, you just gonna walk out of here like there's no vibe between us, yeah? Seems like you have vibes with loads of people, like the girl from Willesden. Okay, what you saw there was me just being a certified wasteman. - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm done with that. - I'm done with that tired old script. - What do you want? I want you. I'm sorry, Raymond, but, um... you're the kind of guy that should come with a warning sign on your forehead. And you'll cut me up again. Yes, yes, you will. This is your fucking meat and drink. Picking up girls, fucking with their heads. I'm sorry, but I look at you, I feel like I'm 15. I got dazzles in my belly. And this is where I get off. I can't. What are you doing? I'm Simone's heart, and I'm scared. Rah. Your heart just told me that you keep her in a cage. That is very mean. Hello, Simone's heart. I'm Raymond. Um, I know why she keeps you caged, and it's because she's trying to protect you. But I know a thing or two about cages, and cages got keys. Hello. When I'm with you, I feel... Free. When I'm with you... I feel... Complete. When we got together When we took off our masks And revealed We took to the sky The rain and thunder washed All the pain away In our universe Of love Oh, yes, you set me free Set me free from all the hurt Yes, we gave each other wings To dance among the clouds And we drank the sweet Rain In our universe Of love Universe of love We've got a magic vibe between us I can't tell when you end and I begin Take my hand on this adventure And we could flow like the rivers To the sea Each time I blink I'm back there with you You're burning Into my mind You kiss me with such A liberation Like a shooting star Across my heart Across my heart Universe of love Oh Yeah Yeah Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Oh Yeah This fire ain't going out This fire ain't going out This fire ain't going out This fire ain't going out This fire ain't going out This fire ain't going out...
