The Tale |
'Yes. |
This is a cautionary tale. |
You can … take it any which way you wanna. |
I mean no disrespect in part two. |
As we just … alright … let me …'(Ty's voice fades) |
It was a sunny afternoon, somewhere between April, May or maybe June |
The year had been quite busy |
and I was just taking a break from having to make a tune |
I was chilling with my cousin rude boys undercover just … |
watching the place |
Sitting opposite the tube |
and this girl walked up and said 'I recognise your face. |
Your name’s Ty isn’t it? |
I seen you in this and that magazine' |
I was quite chuffed really, |
looked slightly at my cousin and we both said 'seen!' |
One month later she phones me up |
'I'm in the area, can I come up?'I'm like 'please!' |
Turned to my brethren said |
'I love you like a brother, but BRUSH you got to leave!' |
(Tee talking) |
'You know what I’m saying? |
You got to leave! |
If you met this girl right, |
you’d understand. |
You — have — got — to — go. |
Thank you.' |
Check my reflection in the mirror, |
spray a little air fresh, splash a little brute |
Answer the intercom, 'is Tee there?'Oh, she sounds cute! |
I take her jacket and she’s left with a white dress going from here to here |
I offer her a drink, but she only wants water, I’m like 'oh each!' |
The conversation goes from vague adult chat to thinly veiled come on’s |
Blood leaves my brain, my whole body’s a drum stick … anxious to drum on How shall I approach this? |
I’m virtually brain dead plus the line’s busy |
I begin with a little friendly WWF and touch the titty! |
(Girl talking, Ty whistling in background) |
'Hold on, what are you doing? |
What are you doing? |
Are you trying to touch |
any of this? |
Who are you? |
Just because …'(Girl's voice fades) |
Felt so ashamed! |
Had to excuse myself by pretending to take the piss |
Walked to the mirror, splashed water on my face and said 'man what is this?' |
Get a grip Ben, just because the girl’s here doesn’t mean you’re in Ha, this sexy bullshit can mess up the play |
and make you think your love is king |
(Ty talking) |
'Ohhh boy. |
Listen … |
you know when you’re in one of those predicaments where it’s like, |
just, oh what can I say, I can’t say …'(Ty's voice fades) |
I left the bathroom with a clear head, |
expecting her to moan, apologetic in the worst way |
She’s butt naked on the sofa, |
smiling like a joker 'T-Y it’s your birthdayyy!' |
(Ty talking) |
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, y’know, no! |
You don’t, listen, you don’t have to ask me what happened next! |
Anyway, lets just say … mighty fun was had by all! |
Of course this is fictional, so. |
Y’know.' |
