0:03:59 > 0:04:05# I went to a party at the local county jail

0:04:06 > 0:04:11# All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail

0:04:12 > 0:04:19# But the guys were indiscreet They were brawling in the street

0:04:19 > 0:04:24# At the local dance at the local county jail

0:04:24 > 0:04:28# Well, the band were playing And the booze began to flow

0:04:30 > 0:04:36# But the sound came over on the police car radio

0:04:37 > 0:04:40# Down at Precinct 49

0:04:40 > 0:04:44# Having a tear-gas of a time

0:04:44 > 0:04:49# Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail

0:04:49 > 0:04:56# Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

0:04:56 > 0:05:02# Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

0:05:02 > 0:05:06# I love to hear those convicts squeal

0:05:06 > 0:05:09# It's a shame these slugs ain't real

0:05:09 > 0:05:15# But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail

0:05:16 > 0:05:21# Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail

0:05:22 > 0:05:28# And for miles around You could hear the sirens wail

0:05:29 > 0:05:32# There's a rumour goin' round death row

0:05:32 > 0:05:35# That a fuse is gonna blow

0:11:14 > 0:11:16# What I'm given to understand

0:11:16 > 0:11:19# Is exactly what I steal

0:11:19 > 0:11:22# I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

0:11:22 > 0:11:25# I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

0:11:25 > 0:11:28# I was shocked to find what was allowed

0:11:28 > 0:11:32# I didn't lose myself in the crowd

0:11:36 > 0:11:38# Shot

0:11:38 > 0:11:41# By both sides

0:11:41 > 0:11:44# On the run

0:11:44 > 0:11:46# To the outside of everything

0:11:47 > 0:11:50# Shot

0:11:50 > 0:11:52# By both sides

0:11:52 > 0:11:57# They must have come to a secret understanding

0:11:59 > 0:12:02# New offences always in my nerves

0:12:02 > 0:12:05# They're taking my time by force

0:12:05 > 0:12:08# They have to rewrite all the books again

0:12:08 > 0:12:10# As a matter of course

0:12:10 > 0:12:13# I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

0:12:13 > 0:12:16# I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd

0:12:16 > 0:12:19# I was shocked to find what was allowed

0:12:19 > 0:12:23# I didn't lose myself in the crowd

0:12:27 > 0:12:29# Shot

0:12:29 > 0:12:32# By both sides

0:12:32 > 0:12:34# On the run

0:12:34 > 0:12:37# To the other side of everything

0:12:39 > 0:12:40# Shot

0:12:40 > 0:12:44# By both sides

0:12:44 > 0:12:49# They must have come to a secret understanding... #

0:12:50 > 0:12:55Most of the dross that's around - and there are records which are better than most of the dross -

0:12:55 > 0:12:57don't get played because they are unsettling.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01They come from somewhere slightly deeper within the soul

0:13:01 > 0:13:03than the level of a pure hit factory.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07I think Cliff's latest single is a work of genius, a perfect pop song,

0:13:07 > 0:13:13but this lot are doing the same kind of thing, they're using melody and rhythm in a hypnotic way,

0:13:13 > 0:13:19but because it's slightly sinister and Gothic, it won't be played, which seems a shame.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34# And she turned around and took me by the hand

0:13:34 > 0:13:36# And said, I've lost control again

0:13:37 > 0:13:40# And how I'll never know just why or understand

0:13:40 > 0:13:42# She said, I've lost control again

0:13:43 > 0:13:46# And she screamed out kicking on her side

0:13:46 > 0:13:48# And said, I've lost control again

0:13:49 > 0:13:52# And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die

0:13:52 > 0:13:54# She said, I've lost control again

0:13:55 > 0:13:57# She's lost control again

0:13:58 > 0:14:01# She's lost control

0:14:01 > 0:14:04# She's lost control again

0:14:04 > 0:14:07# She's lost control

0:14:44 > 0:14:46# Well I had to phone her friend to state my case

0:14:46 > 0:14:48# And say she's lost control again

0:14:49 > 0:14:52# And she showed up all the errors and mistakes

0:14:52 > 0:14:54# And said I've lost control again

0:14:55 > 0:14:58# She expressed herself in many different ways

0:14:58 > 0:15:00# Until she lost control again

0:15:01 > 0:15:04# And walked upon the edge of no escape

0:15:04 > 0:15:06# And laughed, I've lost control again

0:15:07 > 0:15:09# She's lost control again

0:15:10 > 0:15:13# She's lost control

0:15:13 > 0:15:16# She's lost control again

0:15:16 > 0:15:19# She's lost control. #

0:16:14 > 0:16:18The bloody pies are bloody old The bloody chips are bloody cold

0:16:18 > 0:16:21The bloody beer is bloody flat The bloody flats have bloody rats

0:16:21 > 0:16:24The bloody clocks are bloody wrong The bloody days are bloody long

0:16:24 > 0:16:28It bloody gets you bloody down Evidently Chickentown.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Far from crazy pavements

0:16:36 > 0:16:39The taste of silver spoons

0:16:40 > 0:16:43A clinical arrangement

0:16:43 > 0:16:46On a dirty afternoon

0:16:47 > 0:16:51The faecal germs of Mr Freud

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Are rendered obsolete

0:16:55 > 0:16:58The legal term is null and void

0:16:58 > 0:17:02In the case of Beasley Street

0:17:03 > 0:17:06In the cheap seats where murder breeds

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Somebody runs out of breath

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Sleep is a luxury they don't need

0:17:14 > 0:17:16A sneak preview of death

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Belladonna is your flower

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Manslaughter your meat

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Spend a year in a couple of hours

0:17:28 > 0:17:31On the edge of Beasley Street

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Where the action isn't

0:17:36 > 0:17:39That's where it is

0:17:40 > 0:17:43State your position

0:17:43 > 0:17:47No vacancies exist

0:17:47 > 0:17:51An X-certificate exercise

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Ex-servicemen excrete

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Smiles and a baby dies

0:17:59 > 0:18:02In a box on Beasley Street

0:18:03 > 0:18:06In the kingdom of the blind

0:18:07 > 0:18:09A one-eyed man is king

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Beauty problems are redefined

0:18:13 > 0:18:16The doorbells do not ring

0:18:17 > 0:18:20A light, full burst, like a blister

0:18:22 > 0:18:24The only form of heat

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Where a fellow sells his sister

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Down a river on Beasley Street

0:18:32 > 0:18:36In the boarding houses and the bedsits

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Full of accidents and fleas

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Somebody gets it

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Where the missing persons freeze

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Wearing dead men's overcoats

0:18:51 > 0:18:54You can't see their feet

0:18:55 > 0:18:58A riff joint shuts opens up

0:18:58 > 0:19:02Right down on Beasley Street...

0:19:02 > 0:19:05As you can see, everything has just vanished.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07The whole thing has been erased

0:19:07 > 0:19:09from the face of the earth.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I feel great anger. I feel massive sadness

0:19:13 > 0:19:16It's like I've had a complete loss of childhood because

0:19:16 > 0:19:18although I've always lived in Manchester and

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I've always lived relatively close to here, this part of Manchester.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Now, when I pass through here,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28or even being here today, it's just so foreign to me.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31That's quite sad.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33# In this charming car

0:19:34 > 0:19:38# This charming man

0:19:40 > 0:19:42# Why pamper life's complexity

0:19:42 > 0:19:48# When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?

0:19:49 > 0:19:51# I would go out tonight

0:19:51 > 0:19:55# But I haven't got a stitch to wear

0:52:01 > 0:52:05David Beckham is rapidly discovering that life as a best-selling author

0:52:05 > 0:52:08can be every bit as demanding as that of a top footballer.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11Some of these fans have travelled hundreds of miles.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13They queued for hours for a glimpse of their idol

0:52:13 > 0:52:18and to buy the book in which he chronicles the first 25 years of his life.

0:52:18 > 0:52:22He's my idol, really. He's a really good footballer and everyone loves him.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25I went to see the game last night and he was really good.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28We've got a ticket for the next one. Hopefully it'll be good.

0:52:28 > 0:52:33He's gorgeous. He's a brilliant football player. I love him.

0:52:33 > 0:52:38For someone apparently so ordinary, Beckham excites an extraordinary response from his fans.

0:52:38 > 0:52:43Some of them found the experience of meeting him in person altogether too much.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49# Four-letter word just to get me along

0:52:49 > 0:52:53# It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and I

0:52:53 > 0:52:56# Keep stalling, keeping me together

0:52:56 > 0:52:59# People around gotta find something to say now

0:52:59 > 0:53:02# Holding back, every day the same

0:53:02 > 0:53:06# Don't wanna be a loner Listen to me, oh, no

0:53:06 > 0:53:08# I never say anything at all

0:53:08 > 0:53:11# But with nothing to consider They forget my name

0:53:44 > 0:53:47# I'm the last kid standing up against the wall

0:53:47 > 0:53:51# Keep up, fall in These heels they keep me boring

0:53:51 > 0:53:55# Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now

0:53:55 > 0:53:59# So alone all the time at night Lock myself away

0:53:59 > 0:54:04# Listen to me Although I'm dressed up, out and all
