0:01:30 > 0:01:33Oh, let me see now.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Mr Toad deserves a wee bit of space along with er,

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Mr Robert Emmet I think, so...

0:01:39 > 0:01:40I'll get you that, old boy.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Ah, there you are.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Mr Wilder, I'd forgotten about you.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53You're first edition of The Ides Of March, so you are.

0:01:53 > 0:01:551845, hmm.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Interesting, very interesting.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Oh-ho-ho!

0:02:04 > 0:02:07It's a wee first edition of Odd Man Out.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12And about Belfast. 1948.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Mmm.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24Can't wait for you to see the light of day, son.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28How can people do that with books? Jesus Christ, it's ridiculous.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32He's destroyed it with that bloody tape.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Eejit. Bloody eejit.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I can clean you up, son.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Yep, you're going to be happy here and back to the way you were.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50How dare he put that on it? How dare he?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13CONVERSATION IN BACKGROUND

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- Here you go, John.- Thanks, love. - That OK for you?- Very tasty.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Very, very tasty, love. Nice and fresh.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30All right if I sit beside you?

0:03:30 > 0:03:31You're all right, love.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm starving.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38You hungry, pet? That looks nice.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Tell me, why do you get two bits of tomato and I only got one?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Because I made it myself!

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Only joking!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- No, there were two bits of tomato there.- So did you have two bits?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Oh, aye.- Do you want a wee bit, John? - No, no, I'm all right now.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54- MOBILE BLEEPS - Everybody's trying to add me on Facebook today.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Tell me, Facebook, is this a sort of internet thing?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- I'm addicted to it, John. Every minute of the day.- Is that right?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Yes, and I have actually set it up to my phone

0:04:01 > 0:04:04so if I get a message on it, you are supposed to get a message on

0:04:04 > 0:04:07the computer, but if I get a message on it it goes straight to my phone.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Somebody text me today saying,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12"Hiya, I see you every week up at the Trinity Lodge, you look amazing."

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- I'm like, I don't even know who that is.- It's a fan!- I know!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21MUSIC STARTS

0:04:21 > 0:04:22MUSIC: "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele

0:04:22 > 0:04:27# I go hungry I'd go black and blue...#

0:04:27 > 0:04:28That's nice.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33# I'd go crawling down the avenue...#

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Oh, God, I'd love to be a singer.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42I'm a great believer, Jolene, that if you enjoy doing something,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45do it for love of it, don't look what comes out the other end.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Like, I was in the book business for over 40 years.

0:04:48 > 0:04:54I didn't go into it for to make any economic fortunes, which is nice.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I done it because I loved it. And no return. I still buy and sell books.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I mostly buy them for people and I give them

0:05:00 > 0:05:02instead of charging them for them!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04LAUGHS

0:05:04 > 0:05:07If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Somebody asked me earlier, was I selling that to you

0:05:09 > 0:05:11so they could buy it?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14You just tell them what you want, love.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15That's nice.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- All the customers will all be waiting!- No, let them go in.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's lovely.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43WHISTLES

0:05:47 > 0:05:50See, last time I was in, Tony, you had a wee copy of No Mean City.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54- And they were the old photographs of Belfast.- Yes.- I don't see it there.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55It's very wee, if you recall,

0:05:55 > 0:05:59- do remember that wee series that was done?- I do, yeah.- Sort of panoramic.

0:05:59 > 0:06:05- Yes, I do, Brian Walker?- One of the Brian Walker ones, yeah, you know?

0:06:05 > 0:06:10I had a wee copy that I had to loan, but I never got it back, you know, so...

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Oh, here. I know a guy who's looking for that.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I can always ring him. You know what they say about him?

0:06:20 > 0:06:25You see the ones that are not signed are scarce. He signed everything!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yeah, I know, don't go overboard.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32We don't go overboard for the prices.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- We try our best to keep away, you know?- That one's signed!

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Mmm. Ah, delicious!

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Mm. Oh-ho! Michaela's cooked.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00Up to scratch. That'll be all right. That'll kick in for tomorrow.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Second-hand soup's always best.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Another run over and that will be beautiful.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12HE WHISPERS THE WORDS

0:07:22 > 0:07:28Don't know what that says but it ends "The bird from the sky."

0:07:30 > 0:07:36WHISPERS: Through all the extremes without any, anyone's being able to.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Don't know.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Don't know. "Where one ends and another begins. You have..."

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Don't know.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57What's this you're reading?

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Was this the one on Rome? Interesting, isn't it?

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Do you find it interesting?- Yep.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- It's The Light Of Rome I'm reading. - The Light Of Rome.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Can you move that over a wee bit? I can't see that from here.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Just a bit because that's a beautiful way of starting there.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yeah, that's what caught my eye.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29"The Light Of Rome is more a thing of beauty."

0:08:29 > 0:08:33"It is a mystery."

0:08:55 > 0:08:59And then they all started beating me at the bloody bus stop.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Then when I looked around they were all shouting, "He's getting up,

0:09:04 > 0:09:06"he's getting up."

0:09:06 > 0:09:07JOHN LAUGHS

0:09:07 > 0:09:10And I got such a dig in the head, my head hit the pub wall.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- And that was it? - And my face was getting slapped.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17And I opened my eyes and the first face I seen was Buck Alec.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21I says, "Where is I?" He says "I told them to F off and or I'd shoot them!"

0:09:21 > 0:09:25He'd shoot them?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Carried me round home to my long-suffering Ma.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29God love her.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33And there's a gentleman called John... Sorry?

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- John Clancy.- John Clancy. - Pleased to meet you.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Always known as John the Book. - John the book!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41LAUGHS

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Right, you turn round.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45People said John the Crook because I was a smithy dealer.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Along the back of the chairs there, that's the back of the chair, OK?

0:09:49 > 0:09:54The table's in front of you and Grace is to your right-hand side.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- All right?- Who's that?- That's Grace.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00John and John, do you want to talk away there?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'm not going to say a warm-up speaker.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06But this gentleman who is going to do the talking tonight, the poems,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I was always very close to John but what I love most about him

0:10:09 > 0:10:11was very simple, the poetry.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Because what it was, not only did it bring the feeling when he wrote

0:10:14 > 0:10:20his poems about Sailortown or York Street, for me, it re-lived them.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24The shops, you can nearly smell the atmosphere.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28It's like any area, like if I say I'm very proud to to be actually,

0:10:28 > 0:10:30come from an area like Sailortown, we are diverse, we are

0:10:30 > 0:10:34a mixed race as they call them now, Mickeys and Prods, you know?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36But we've one thing in common, it was called poverty,

0:10:36 > 0:10:38when we were growing up round here.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41As an old friend of mine, Johnny Gillespie says,

0:10:41 > 0:10:45we were that poor, we used to get parcels from the Third World.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47And after a while, you get fed up of getting bananas.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49LAUGHTER

0:10:49 > 0:10:51In fact, I could tell you the first time I ever seen a banana.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54You know, if you've never seen a banana before, what do you do?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57You stick it in your gob the way it is and you start chewing it.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00And my daddy says, "No, no, no, son, you peel it."

0:11:00 > 0:11:03And you know I feel stupid at times, John? By God, I felt stupid.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06It didn't hurt when they beat me with their weapons

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Or when they smashed my nose and broke my jaw

0:11:09 > 0:11:12It didn't hurt when they kicked my helpless body

0:11:14 > 0:11:17It only hurt when her tearstained face I saw

0:11:17 > 0:11:20It didn't hurt when they wouldn't give me water or medicine

0:11:20 > 0:11:22To ease your throat so dry

0:11:23 > 0:11:27It only hurt when I looked into her sad eyes

0:11:28 > 0:11:31And it hurt me bad when I saw her start to cry.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34That's lovely.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35APPLAUSE

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Now, these poems are encapsuled in the time they were written.

0:11:40 > 0:11:46And I write in rhyme. Now, I've written a couple of novels.

0:11:46 > 0:11:51I've written short stories, but when I do a poem, it has to be in rhyme

0:11:51 > 0:11:55because as far as I'm concerned, if it isn't in rhyme, it isn't a poem.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59TECHNO BEAT

0:12:11 > 0:12:14HE RAPS: Just sit back and watch the intense suspense that I present

0:12:14 > 0:12:18I invent the sound of a nation, turned present into presentation

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Turned life on the street into life with a beat

0:12:20 > 0:12:23What I write on the sheet is what I fight in defeat

0:12:23 > 0:12:24I'm ambitious

0:12:24 > 0:12:27But this road to riches turned me bitches and malicious

0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's survival of the fittest I defy the odds

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Living in a country full of riot squads

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Bricks, bottles and blast bombs

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Will I last long or will I pass on?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Keep your friends close but stay closer to your rivals

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Trying to get ahead is a matter of survival

0:12:46 > 0:12:48It's hard staying laden

0:12:48 > 0:12:50The strongest will survive from the moment you arrive

0:12:50 > 0:12:52You have nothing if you don't have the drive

0:12:52 > 0:12:55See all you want until you get an eye

0:12:55 > 0:12:58For how long will I last is a matter of survival

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Just a matter of survival

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm running for my life, in fact I'm jumping over fences

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Smoking more dope trying to improve my senses

0:13:12 > 0:13:15But if I get caught it seems that I'm defenceless

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'm ready to scrap like I'm ready to rap

0:13:17 > 0:13:19But what good is all that if I get shot in the back

0:13:19 > 0:13:22They're smarter than us all and you know you can't fool it

0:13:22 > 0:13:24No matter how strong you are you can't stop a bullet

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Some hot lead will be embedded in your head

0:13:27 > 0:13:30You'll regret it what you said you must let it get you dead

0:13:30 > 0:13:32They've got no balls but they betray themselves with men

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Want to kill me cos I think the same as them

0:13:35 > 0:13:37They gotta hold tight cos I ain't going without a fight

0:13:37 > 0:13:40They wanna make my exit even harder than my arrival

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Trying to get ahead is just a matter of survival.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Hello. My name is John Clancy, I am... I was a book-seller.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08I used to give Gerard the odd book now and then, you know?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10And he rang me a wee while back looking for a book

0:14:10 > 0:14:12and unfortunately it didn't...

0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm not sure whether it was called The Nemesis File

0:14:15 > 0:14:18or to get him another copy of Pride's Castle.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22I got him a week copy of Pride's Castle years ago, you know?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25So, was the book called The Nemesis File? That's good.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well tell him, like, I haven't forgot about him,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30but what it was, you see, I came across a book the other day

0:14:30 > 0:14:34there with Nemesis on the title but it wasn't of that title, when I was in town, you know?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37It's just to let him know I haven't forgot about him.

0:14:38 > 0:14:44My name is John Clancy. All right, darling. God bless you, love, bye.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Bye-bye, love. Bye, bye.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51There we are, Tristan. We're getting there, kid.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54We're getting there, so we are.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Now, here's a tricky part.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01This is a tricky part.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06This is the tricky part. Not too much, now Johnny boy.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15We can be gentle. There you are, a newborn baby.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18You're welcome back into the fold again.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Not perfection, but sure.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Too straight for perfection than anything whatsoever.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32There we are, son.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44"He came into the world in the middle of a thicket,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47"in one of those little, hidden forest glades,

0:15:47 > 0:15:51"which seemed to be entirely open but was really screened in on all sides.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56"There was very little room in it, scarcely enough for him and his mother.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58"He stood there swaying unsteadily on his thin legs

0:15:58 > 0:16:03"and staring vaguely in front of them with clouded eyes which saw nothing.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05"He hung his deep head, trampled a great deal

0:16:05 > 0:16:07"and was still completely stunned.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11"What a beautiful child, cried the magpie.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16"She had flown past attracted by the deep groans of the mother

0:16:16 > 0:16:17"who uttered in her labour.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23"The magpie perched on the nearing branch.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25"'What a beautiful child,' she kept repeating."

0:16:40 > 0:16:44You know where it says a town that was buried?

0:16:44 > 0:16:50That's because over the years Rome has been built over itself

0:16:50 > 0:16:56repeatedly. From Julius Caesar built over Maximus'.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01There's so much left in the city.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05So, yeah, but they all rebuilt over each other's work?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Just trying to be remembered.

0:17:07 > 0:17:13Just trying to be remembered for ever because if there are towns

0:17:13 > 0:17:17where you are remembered for being a hero in books,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20or you were an architect and you got remembered by leaving

0:17:20 > 0:17:24beauty around, buildings, like the Coliseum.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26The Coliseum was one of the most beautiful things.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- And you've seen it first-hand, haven't you?- I have.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31I've standed right outside it.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Wearing a hacky jersey, but I was still standing outside it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Is Caesar your favourite emperor then?

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Favourite emperor would probably either be Julius Caesar,

0:17:43 > 0:17:49but most people would say Julius Caesar, because a lot of people have only ever heard of Julius Caesar.

0:17:49 > 0:17:55But Julius Maximus would probably be my...

0:17:55 > 0:17:57favourite emperor.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Or Judas Maximus. - I'm a fan of Nero. He was crazy.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Nero was a good emperor.

0:18:04 > 0:18:10There's a lovely statue of Nero when you're walking up the river towards the Vatican.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13HE SINGS OPERA

0:18:52 > 0:18:54KNOCK AT DOOR

0:18:58 > 0:19:02KNOCK AT DOOR

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Are you going to be singing about spaghetti Bolognese all day?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- That's a bit loud. I'm trying to working here.- Oh, shit! Sorry, man.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12MUSIC: "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Puccini

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Hiya, Connor.- How you doing, sir? - Do you know what I'm doing?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'm moving a lot of stuff from up in the loft.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Stuff that's been up there for a while, you know.- Yes.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Be any chance maybe giving us a wee bit of a hand?- Ah, no problem.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Sitting about, not doing anything. - You're not doing anything?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- I'm just going over to give John a wee hand here.- OK.- How's things?

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Oh, not so bad. How about yourself? - Getting on, thanks.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- You follow me up.- Yes.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Can you get up all right there? - Yes, I've got this wee light here as well.- Oh, God bless you.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Not magic, son. What's that there?

0:22:45 > 0:22:50- Here, could you move them books over there, Connor?- Yes.- Look at them.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53We'll bring them down there, because what we'll have to do,

0:22:53 > 0:22:56we'll have to come up someday and I might buy one of those lights,

0:22:56 > 0:22:59that when you put it up, you're able to see everything.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01What's in here, I wonder, son? Hold on.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I wonder if there's any books there. Oh, shit.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Oh, it's a pot-pourri in here, isn't it? All right? Here we are.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09Let's see what this is, Connor.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14Ah, this is a young girl I used to send books to. She was from, er...

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Where are we? Newcastle... California.- California?

0:23:18 > 0:23:22It says here, "to a special friend". That would be me.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25"Thank you very much, John, for the two books received.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28"My mother was very what, how would one say, thrilled

0:23:28 > 0:23:33"with the complete collection of William Butler Yeats.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37"God bless and thank you again for your help. Mary."

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- There we are, then. - How long ago was that?

0:23:39 > 0:23:44- I wonder when they checked that. - Yeah.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I was what you call a great book, man.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49That's why they call me John the Book. But I was a crap businessman.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54I would have given more stuff away. I seen people come then with their long lists, kids, you know,

0:23:54 > 0:23:58students from school, and things like that there and they had no money.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00And I would have said, "That's yours, take them."

0:24:00 > 0:24:03You know and I mean that, too. Take them, and I'll see you again.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06But I remember one young girl came in, I'll never forget it as long as I live.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11She was doing a wee Irish course. She was looking at a biography of John Hume, etc, etc, etc.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I had all these books and I give them to her. And I says, "Take them, love.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17"Whenever you get your degree and you start earning a few quid,

0:24:17 > 0:24:20"come down and spend a few pound with me."

0:24:20 > 0:24:23And a number of days down the line, this young lady appears, beautiful young girl,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26one of those attractive young girls that look well.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28The right type of perfume, you know.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Should have seen the perfume - I would have drunk it at one time!

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Cost about 100 quid a bottle!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39And one thing about it, she went around the shop and she picked out three or four books.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43And she says, "By the way, thank you very much," and she handed me an envelope and walked out.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46And there was a note in it, "Thank you very much". And there was £100 in it.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Now do you know what I'm talking about?- That's it.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- People don't forget the favours. - What goes around comes around.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Go.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Straight up, John.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Oops-a-daisy.- How did he get that bed up in here?

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Is that bed made up? That bed that's up there!

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Was that made up indoors, or what?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13How did you get it in originally? Oh, dear!

0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's stuck! Stuck!

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Oh, my goodness!- Shit.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Let me see.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27We'll see, I think.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Right, OK.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Shit!- Oh, mind you don't hurt yourself.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Ah, no.- Well, be careful.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38It gets like that, you see.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Oh, no! It's not going to fit.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43You see?

0:25:45 > 0:25:48See what I mean? You see. Look.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- I'll tell you something... - It's like a water bed.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55You see that one I took off? That's just a more comfortable mattress than the one I took off.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57- So this one is going to stay here. - Oh, no. John.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00And better still, it even fits nearly down there.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03- But do you not think...- But say you don't want to keep this mattress.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06You'd have to promise me, no smoking in the bed.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08No, no smoking in the bed, love.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'll... Look, I'll tell you what I'll do with you.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15I'll even remove my cigarette and ashtray, you see, like so.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19And I promise you there is no cigarettes. Sorry about that, love, you know.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21- So what are you going to do? Get a new bed?- No.

0:26:21 > 0:26:26Michelle, I was born in this bed and with the grace of God, I die on it.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Can you not make it a bit more Belfast?- A wee bit more Belfast?

0:26:30 > 0:26:34- A wee bit less, even.- Less? - You just sound too Belfastish.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- But that's where I'm from. - But why? It should be better.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Because I was born there. - You could try it more.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Rapping like an American? (RAPS) I'm a sleeper.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I take life one step at a time, some try to live out their dreams...

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- That's better. You don't think that better?- No, that sucks.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53No. I'm a sleeper, I take life one step at a time, some try to live out their dreams...

0:26:53 > 0:26:58- No, because it's very flat, if you know what I mean.- OK. I'll whizz it up.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'm the sleeper, I take life one step at a time

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Some try to live out their dreams but mine's are captain, my man

0:27:05 > 0:27:08they say you're seeking new fame but not when you reclaim

0:27:08 > 0:27:09my man's no motivation

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I spend more time in bed than most spend in education

0:27:12 > 0:27:16and all my weekend hours are just flurried with frustration. Why?

0:27:16 > 0:27:17Cos I'm not...

0:27:17 > 0:27:22# Overheard, underpaid

0:27:22 > 0:27:25# I'm sure there's hurt

0:27:25 > 0:27:28- # I could change my ways - Cos there's the smoker, the sleeper,

0:27:28 > 0:27:31the tosser and turner, this is the smoker, the sleeper,

0:27:31 > 0:27:37- the tosser and turner. Yeah? - Good! Do you like that?- I like that!

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Do you?- M'hm. Do you like it?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20- What are you listening to? - Er, Puccini.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Let me hear. Can I have a listen?

0:28:23 > 0:28:25- It's good?- I think it's good.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Oh, mummy, that's depressing.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32- What do you mean, depressing? - That's what you'd play at a funeral.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36- No, it's not. It's a thing of beauty.- Why do you like it?

0:28:36 > 0:28:39It's mainly from the country it comes. Italy shows so much...

0:28:39 > 0:28:40Country music?

0:28:40 > 0:28:44No, from the country it comes from, which is Italy. It's Puccini.

0:28:44 > 0:28:45It's a town.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's mainly because Italy put pure beauty

0:28:48 > 0:28:50and romance into everything they do.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53You shouldn't listen to all of that shit. You'll end up killing yourself!

0:28:54 > 0:28:58See, with a big spliff, and that, and a big cup of tea - perfect.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01- You're so like your brother. - Yeah, well so-so.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03He prefers to listen to rap most of the time.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Yeah?- I only listen to four rappers. - Oh, do you?- Yes.

0:29:07 > 0:29:12- Rap's not my favourite thing. I'd rather jive or head bang.- Yeah.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14- I better go back to work.- OK.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Well, nice to see you. - Stop listening to that shitty tunes.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- All right.- See ya later. - See ya later.

0:29:23 > 0:29:29I'm a shy person a lot of the time and whenever I meet new friends,

0:29:29 > 0:29:33I'm usually stoned then, so I'm usually able to talk.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37So, say, like I try a new girlfriend, like going out with a new girl,

0:29:37 > 0:29:41and I can't talk, I have nothing to say.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44I'll go and look at them for ten minutes and come back

0:29:44 > 0:29:46and have a wee waterfall or bong, got back

0:29:46 > 0:29:51and just be talking to absolute heavens, but it's perfect

0:29:51 > 0:29:56because girls like to talk but they don't like to talk that much.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00In the dances, going back to the old Orpheus days, if I hadn't had

0:30:00 > 0:30:02a drink, I had to walk around the floor all night, I would

0:30:02 > 0:30:05have been scared to approach a girl to say, "Can I have this dance?"

0:30:05 > 0:30:07See, I didn't fucking feel like it. Fucking...

0:30:07 > 0:30:10If I'd have gone up and danced with no booze in me.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13I was like wrapped in fucking plaster of Paris, you know.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16See, a couple of drinks, fucking John Travolta, move over!

0:30:16 > 0:30:20I'll tell you the best description, Robert, that I ever heard of alcohol.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23And it was from a wee woman who I loved dearly,

0:30:23 > 0:30:27who happened to be my mother, who was then in her late 70s.

0:30:27 > 0:30:32In reality, she was worrying herself to death about her youngest son

0:30:32 > 0:30:34who was going to die.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38And the best description that I ever heard,

0:30:38 > 0:30:40and this is not an Irish mother,

0:30:40 > 0:30:45was my mother "Son, I wish you were dead rather than

0:30:45 > 0:30:49"the way your living." Now do you know where I'm coming from?

0:30:49 > 0:30:51She hit it on the button.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55But in that diseased condition, you can't see it that way.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57That's a threat to you.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Now, I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine

0:31:00 > 0:31:02and I seen the pain.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04I went out the door,

0:31:04 > 0:31:08and down to the Somerton Inn which is only around the corner.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10I ordered a glass of brandy, which is my drink of choice,

0:31:10 > 0:31:13in fact my ma called me Brandy Balls. You know what I mean?

0:31:13 > 0:31:17I put a wee drop of ginger in it and after three drinks I says,

0:31:17 > 0:31:19"That bitch.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21"How could she say that to me?"

0:31:21 > 0:31:25I dropped that brandy on the floor and it smashed.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29And do you imagine all the wee shards of glass in the bottom.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33And I got down like a dog and licked it off the floor, picking

0:31:33 > 0:31:38the glass out of my tongue which had been bleeding.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Now, in reality you would...

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I would say that's the depths of despair

0:31:42 > 0:31:46and I never get called a genius, but I'm not stupid.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49That was 1970.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52I didn't stop drinking till 1983, so it gives you

0:31:52 > 0:31:59an idea of the progression and where it will lead you to.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03They call it the gates of insanity or death.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09WOMAN SINGS KARAOKE

0:36:59 > 0:37:02dancers, the lovely Pan's People.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06OK, fingers crossed we get to see a little bit of bare flesh tonight.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09I was just thinking to me self, remember that club we were at,

0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Michelle?- Mm-hm.- There was some crowd in it, like.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16Yeah, we're going to go to the finals, definitely, for support.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Ach, I think she'll make the final all right.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21There's no problem there, and I mean that too, love.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23No problem whatsoever.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26I do believe that, you know.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Means she goes across the water to that other thing, doesn't she?

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Is she going to Liverpool? - That's right, John.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Well, you never know, it's that TV thing.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36That's the real X Factor. It's called the X Factor.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Oh, is that what it's called?- Yeah. - I watched a couple of times.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It'd be great for her to go to that, wouldn't it?

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Ach, the wee thing that gets me sometimes about programmes

0:37:44 > 0:37:46like that, they give people so many dreams,

0:37:46 > 0:37:47and I'm a great believer,

0:37:47 > 0:37:49it's unfair to take anybody's dreams away.

0:37:49 > 0:37:54You build them up and then, of course, you knock them down.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58The press, anyway, you know. But it's a hard, hard game, Michelle.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00- I can't sing.- Don't you sing as well?

0:38:00 > 0:38:04- When I get a few drinks, I like karaoke, like.- Oh, do you?!- Oh, aye.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Here, we have to get something organised there.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09You can't hear yourself singing when you sing in one of them things.

0:38:09 > 0:38:10So you think you're brilliant!

0:38:10 > 0:38:14I used to sing in the boys choir, but that's a long, long time ago.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17You know, little tenor, you know.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29You all right?

0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Come in.- A mattress for you.- Come on. Mr Cassidy, how are you?!

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Lovely to see you!

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I bet that fits like a tee, don't worry about that there.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47They're only books.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Aw, would you look at that!

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Now, there's a few wee books up there, Mr Cassidy.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59Mostly Irish stuff, you know. I'm a collector, as you know yourself.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02And I must get that we book on Winnie Carney. That's amazing.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04- It's a small world, isn't it? - It certainly is.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Who's the baby on the wall?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08That would have been a brother of mine who passed away,

0:39:08 > 0:39:12when he was four-year-old. That was our Hugh.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16I was the youngest of the family, you know, and he died of meningitis.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20And then I had a sister, Rosaline, she passed away.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23I'm the babby of the family. And I'm the only one left.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26- The last of the Mohicans! - I'm the last of the Mohi...

0:39:26 > 0:39:27And they're all away now, you know.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30Mother, it was her anniversary yesterday.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34Jeez, my ma loved that bed. My ma died in it. Jimmy died in it.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37So if they can die in it, I'll die in it!

0:40:05 > 0:40:08The only thing is, maybe you can go and ask the police man there.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11- You see, I don't know.- I'm going up to Carr's Glenn.- Carr's Glenn?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Aye.- Jesus, I don't know, darling, honestly. I'm sorry.- I'll ask.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Ask the policeman, love.- Yeah.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Your wee woman there has to go to Carr's Glenn, I don't

0:40:20 > 0:40:24think she'll be able to get up. See it apparently wasn't blocked off, sure it wasn't, this morning?

0:40:24 > 0:40:27- But she'll be able to get a bus down...- She can get the bus down there.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31- The bus is going up Cliftonpark Avenue, and then up...- Are they?

0:40:31 > 0:40:33It's cutting the whole way across.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Maybe the police might be able to tell her then.- Aye.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41See where that library is, it usually picks you up there. There was a few people there this morning,

0:40:41 > 0:40:44but I don't know how the kids got to school.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Usually they stand at the library, you see.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49And get the bus straight up the road. But, it's absolutely mad.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Crazy, like.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Like I'm not from here, I'm from England, myself,

0:40:53 > 0:40:58and this is, I've never seen anything like this in my life. Never, ever.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- I was going to say the...- God's sake, there's curse all else to do.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Now you're talking about it, darling.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08That's probably a hoax as well, only you can't take that.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Yes, I ain't seen nothing, darlin'.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12I'll tell you something, you're very fit for your age,

0:41:12 > 0:41:17- the way you run down there, love. - Aye, nearly 80.- Are you, pet?- Yes!

0:41:18 > 0:41:21- And my husband just died there... - I'm so sorry.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25..after 84, so that's why I'm out walking, and you can't even get home!

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Oh, it's very annoying, love, isn't it?

0:41:28 > 0:41:31I'm sure people like that don't think about people like us, love.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33No, if they'd put them to work instead of feeding them

0:41:33 > 0:41:35their brew and all that jazz, they'd be all right!

0:41:35 > 0:41:40- Oh, tell me about it, darlin. - Make them work for their money!

0:41:40 > 0:41:42- The way I had to do!- Aye!

0:42:11 > 0:42:15- That's a lovely view. It was worth the walk.- Yeah...

0:42:15 > 0:42:17The walk was nice, but the view isn't actually nice.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20If you don't like Belfast, say you don't like Belfast.

0:42:20 > 0:42:25Just come out with it. Is that what it is? You don't like Belfast?

0:42:46 > 0:42:49- As what?- A chef.- A chef.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53Barman, more like. It's the only job an Irish man will get in America, these days, I imagine.

0:42:53 > 0:42:57- Well, they still love the Irish barmen. - Oh, you may go to Boston then.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Detroit, Detroit do have a few Irish bars though.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05But you don't even have a job here like, you go to America

0:43:05 > 0:43:07- and think you'll get a job there? - If I had the money I would go.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09This is like the famine, you know what I mean,

0:43:09 > 0:43:12you go over there for work, cos there's none here.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14See that? There's a plane taking off there.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18That could be the plane that carries you to America.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20That's not going nowhere, that's landing! You fool!

0:43:20 > 0:43:23- HE LAUGHS - That could be the plane brings you back two weeks later

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- from America because you couldn't make it there! - HE LAUGHS

0:43:31 > 0:43:33That night in Smithfield, this is Smithfield as it was.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35The incendiary devices went.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Eric Haugh was at this end of it, looking through.

0:43:37 > 0:43:43And the devices went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46And so we just went up, he ran across the street

0:43:46 > 0:43:48and the whole lot just went up like that, whowww.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53Just collapsed all in, the burning embers.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55Not only that there, you know,

0:43:55 > 0:43:56by the time I got down,

0:43:56 > 0:44:00a lot of the old traders were all around the market, you know.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02I put my arms around one little lady,

0:44:02 > 0:44:04you know, who had a little stall,

0:44:04 > 0:44:08a little second-hand clothes stall,

0:44:08 > 0:44:10and the tears dripping from there.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12And I joined in.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15The soul of Belfast was burned

0:44:15 > 0:44:17on 27th of May 1974.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21And it will never return.

0:44:21 > 0:44:25These days are over. These days are over.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42That's me. That was our old shop.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48People don't realise what was burnt in that shop.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50The soul of Belfast gone.

0:44:51 > 0:44:55Never to return. Never to return.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Never to return.

0:45:03 > 0:45:07Oh, I'd love to be a cowboy. Out in the open ranch.

0:45:09 > 0:45:11Riding all day, herding cattle all day.

0:45:13 > 0:45:19Drinking the occasional whiskey at night. Be the days.

0:45:19 > 0:45:24Ride into town with a bandit over your back. Collecting the bounty.

0:45:24 > 0:45:27Riding out with your posse and shooting a load of poachers.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29Get away from my cows!

0:45:31 > 0:45:34You come for beef, you'll get lead!

0:45:40 > 0:45:42- Aye, dreams.- Mmm.

0:45:44 > 0:45:49Never take a dream away from a man. You take away part of his soul.

0:45:52 > 0:45:56But just that you mention that there, I've just the thing, when you say this.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09"It was spring on an era many years after a lone Eagle had watched

0:46:42 > 0:46:47"Deer nibbled at the new, tender shoots of grass."

0:46:47 > 0:46:52Just like your dreams, you close your eyes, you see that.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55When I read that there, it goes into my imagination.

0:48:58 > 0:49:03Hello, Tony, this is your brother-in-law here, John, ringing from Belfast.

0:49:03 > 0:49:08A large tsunami has just hit the north coast of Japan

0:49:08 > 0:49:12and it's making its way to Hawaii within the next couple of hours.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15I don't know why you're aware of this, but I rang James in

0:49:15 > 0:49:20San Diego, to let him know, and he said he would be in touch with you.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24Cos I'm concerned about not only your safety in Hawaii,

0:49:24 > 0:49:29but mostly also for your safety of your relatives and friends,

0:49:29 > 0:49:33if any of them are living in the north-east of Japan.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36I think if I remember, Patrick telling me that most of your

0:49:36 > 0:49:41family lived in the Tokyo area, now Tokyo is OK at the present time,

0:49:41 > 0:49:45but the tsunami is supposed to hit Hawaii within the next hour so, so...

0:49:49 > 0:49:51That's powerful, isn't it? Holy God.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01200 to 300 bodies so far.

0:50:19 > 0:50:218.9 on the scale, like. Phew.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33That really is where you sort of go with the Noah's Ark thing,

0:50:33 > 0:50:36cos you think these boys need an ark right now.

0:50:36 > 0:50:40Two by two, we stand tall, one by one, we all fall.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42Ring, ring, God, please answer my call.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45It's your child, I know we ain't spoke in a while,

0:50:45 > 0:50:49I fear you're about to make it real, I mean 40 days day,

0:50:49 > 0:50:52I mean torrential, but survival of life is essential.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55Once again, there's moneylenders dwelling in your temple.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56Charging taxes.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00So I'll build your ark and not grant them access, cos the fact is,

0:51:00 > 0:51:03the flood out of chaos comes order, because once again,

0:51:03 > 0:51:05man-made land is submerged in water.

0:51:05 > 0:51:09All our old ways die like lambs to the slaughter, as once again,
