00:00 You walk away from every day, nothing much to make you stay.

00:03 Then bloody hell, you hear a bell ring across the wishing well.

00:07 And this...

00:09 is the dawn of the age of love.

00:12 Dante?

00:23 Gina!

00:24 What are you doing here? You're a good kid.

00:26 Dante, you don't have a lot of experience about anything.

00:30 Dante, are you also a virgin?

00:32 I don't know.

00:32 How can you not know?

00:33 Well, I'd have to take into consideration previous lives.

00:36 Hard with this boy I've come from.

00:37 I know you're just a really weird kid, but you're not like somebody who could be somebody.

00:41 Want to be a poet?

00:42 A poet?

00:43 What a family we are, eh?

00:44 Arden's father is trying to call him into the organisation.

00:49 So have a fucking go at something.

00:50 This is some life we live in these rough places, isn't it?

00:53 Ah, you are a handsome boy. Even after a beating.

00:57 If you don't get away, you just become what everybody already thinks you are.

01:00 I've got to do something to stop myself thinking nothing is worth doing.

01:04 Dante, I've got lots of tunes in my head.

01:06 I could do the tunes and you could do the words.

01:09 What do you say?

01:10 Bang goes the gong. All along I've been wrong.

01:13 How could I have been so thick?

01:15 Words need music.

01:17 Trust me, my cousin can sing like a bird.

01:21 Your pretty face is good enough for the IRA. It's good enough for Top of the Pops.

01:24 This will become a cathedral of live music and merchandise.

01:29 My brother has decided he wants to be a rock star.

01:33 He thinks sex and drugs will make him a better songwriter.

01:35 I'm not asking you to spy on your own family, Sergeant.

01:42 I'm ordering you.

01:43 You have to sing what you do. You have to sing your life.

01:46 There's going to be another weed ban.

01:47 There's a bomb at Coventry train station.

01:49 I want you all to know that I no longer just want this band to work.

01:53 I fucking need it to work.

01:55 I have no idea how this is going to go.

01:56 Either we're going to fly or we're going to crash and burn.

01:59 So, give me your time and I'll give you mine.

02:02 And we can make everything shine.

02:04 Because you make me see and you make me feel.

02:07 And you make all these beautiful things real.

02:10 I hope we're not shit.

02:13 No, we won't be shit.

02:15 We'll take over the whole fucking world.

02:16 [Music]

02:21 [Silence]
