What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's midnight in the metropolis
2
Winter is coming
3
Harry's in the hallway
4
Counting out his money
5
Leon's in the kitchen
6
Sharpening knives
7
The moonlight whispers
8
In the dark of the skies
9
Leon and Harry
10
Friends since before they could say the word 'friend'
11
Two sides of the same coin
12
Two-man industry, they play it very cool
13
Harry's got the plans, Leon's got the heavy tools
14
Sell at high price to discerning clientele
15
But tonight Harry's worried, though
16
'Cause Leon's high as hell
17
With an unfamiliar glimmer in his eye
18
Looks like it might be a difficult night
19
You've got to take it as it comes
20
You've got to do what you've got to do
21
Until you get it done
22
You've got to know what you're in it for
23
And don't stop 'til you got what you're living for
24
It's horrible in Paradise
25
Harry's at the bar, sipping lager
26
Leon's in the corner with a Pina Colada
27
And two girls, Rachel and Renata
28
Keeping one eye on Harry
29
And the other on the dancefloor
30
Sounds of laughter
31
Harry stares ahead of him
32
The guy standing next him
33
Turns to him and he says to him:
34
'I'm a friend of Pico's, I heard you need the medicine'
35
Harry looks him up and down, like
36
I don't like the stench of him
37
Without saying anything, Harry's on his feet
38
Walking to the back room, trying to look discreet
39
The guy that he's following is flabby round the middle
40
Wearing a blue suit, pink tie, new boots
41
Slick hair to the side, little 'tache
42
And he walks with a limp
43
He talks with a sort of distorted lisp
44
Leon's on his feet, staying hidden
45
As they step into the back room, he slips in with them
46
You've got to take it as it comes
47
You've got to do what you've got to do
48
Until you get it done
49
You've got to know what you're in it for
50
And don't stop 'til you got what you're living for
51
You've got to take it as it comes
52
You've got to do what you've got to do
53
Until you get it done
54
You've got to know what you're in it for
55
And keep on, even when it all goes wrong
56
The guy says, 'Call me Joey
57
This here is my place
58
I'm the King to Pico's Ace
59
And I hope for your sake mate that you ain't no joker.'
60
Harry says nothing
61
Joey beckons to the sofa
62
They sit either side of a glass-topped tank
63
There's a baby shark inside, about a metre long
64
The room is dim lit and the walls are blank
65
Joey says, 'Now we both know that Pico's gone
66
Away for a little while
67
Before he left, he said you was a good guy
68
No funny business.'
69
Joey takes a package from the chest by the desk
70
And he puts it on the tank and
71
His eyes shine vicious and cold
72
Now he's pouring out a brandy
73
Saying, 'This is premium quality
74
Do you understand me?
75
Since Pico's departure, the prices have risen
76
It's double what it used to be
77
Ok?'
78
Sitting there quietly
79
Harry opens up his suitcase
80
'I'll pay you what I paid him.'
81
Joey smiles like his tooth aches
82
All lop-sided and strange
83
He says, 'You'll pay me what I ask for
84
Or you walk away with nothing
85
You know full well
86
It's the best coke in the country
87
You either deal with me or your customers go hungry
88
What's the matter, Harry? You look a little jumpy
89
Cat got your tongue or something?'
90
Leon's watching from the corner
91
Wondering if he's bluffing
92
Joey's waiting
93
Harry's saying, 'No
94
No negotiating.'
95
Joey says: 'It's more pure
96
Than what you've had before
97
This is straight off the boat
98
No joke
99
Where's the notes?'
100
In a breath, Leon's out from his hiding place
101
Steel toes, hurricane hands, calm face
102
Joey drops suddenly
103
Like a kid with his first pill
104
Harry's at the stash
105
Getting the cash
106
Leon works 'til
107
Joey's just a pattern in the carpet
108
Harry shakes his head and puts the package in his jacket
109
'What?' says Leon
110
'Ain't worth doing nothing half-hearted.'
111
Harry buttons his coat and tries to settle his
112
Panic
113
You've got know what you're in it for
114
And keep on, right?
115
Even when it all goes wrong?
