[00:00.0]Theme From Becky - Kate Tempest
[00:11.44]She was a smart kid
[00:12.75]Smart girl soft eyes
[00:14.05]Took in a hard world and saw it
[00:15.93]Fast forward
[00:16.83]She's moving for money in bars full of tourists
[00:19.28]She's moved up to massage
[00:20.96]She's happy she's in charge
[00:22.55]Talking to clients
[00:23.77]Adoring the silence
[00:25.06]Of after the session
[00:26.51]Her and the night air
[00:28.14]How to be more than the sum of your parts
[00:30.59]She knows how they see her but they don't know half
[00:33.65]I never wanted to be anybody other
[00:36.18]Than the person that I am
[00:37.8]And the things that I discovered
[00:39.06]In the circles that I ran
[00:40.36]Have been difficult and humbling
[00:42.0]Some don't understand
[00:43.1]But I'm happiest when struggling
[00:44.58]She's not reluctant to touch
[00:46.7]It's the one thing
[00:47.82]That must bring us closer together
[00:49.51]It's such an important endeavour
[00:52.37]To feel tender
[00:53.24]She can't believe there are some
[00:55.35]Who have never been held in their lives
[00:57.33]Eight months in a boardroom
[00:59.09]Three on the motorway
[01:00.58]One in a small room
[01:01.77]Watching the dawn loom large over grey bricks
[01:04.58]It's not sordid it's sacred
[01:06.42]To open them up to the warmth
[01:08.35]Of her nature
[01:09.18]It's ancient
[01:09.99]She don't wanna do it forever
[01:11.53]But let's face it
[01:12.85]Wages are f**ked
[01:14.229996]And rent is outrageous
[01:15.56]Some might say that she's being degraded
[01:18.1]But she makes her own mind up
[01:20.07]Knows her own morals
[01:21.270004]She don't care bout how most people see it
[01:24.07]One man's certain is another man's squabble
[01:26.75]Life's to be lived
[01:28.1]Not agreed with
[01:29.39]She's making her living
[01:30.979996]And she's making it safely
[01:32.33]Better than slaving away in an office
[01:35.56]Or killing herself to fill some boss's pockets
[01:38.229996]Working for peanuts and making them conkers
[01:41.16]I never wanted to be anybody other
[01:43.6]Than the person that I am
[01:44.94]And the things that I discovered
[01:46.270004]In the circles that I ran
[01:47.82]Have been difficult and humbling
[01:49.369995]Some don't understand
[01:50.58]But I'm happiest when struggling
[01:52.119995]Well all of us walk to our own beat
[01:54.28]And each person's rhythm is unique
[01:56.14]You can't hear somebody's tune
[01:58.0]If you count in your time
[02:00.09]You must count their time
[02:01.62]To enjoy how their mind
[02:03.24]Makes its music
[02:04.42]She fell in love with a suitor
[02:06.07]His name was Pete and while she was at work
[02:09.02]He got stoned and watched snooker
[02:10.74]And when she got home he cooked food for them both
[02:13.45]They were happy and close
[02:14.47]But she could feel it pulling at the threads
[02:16.83]Of their tapestry
[02:17.64]Unravelling all that he knew to be true
[02:20.70999]He's the type to say This is reality'
[02:23.1]He finds it very hard to alter his view
[02:25.78]But gradually
[02:26.79001]She has felt less and less certain
[02:28.81]That his understanding would stretch
[02:30.91]And now she's got to justify all her decisions
[02:34.44]But he doesn't listen just gets upset
[02:36.64]But she in her wisdom is ready to try
[02:39.52]She thinks of his feelings
[02:41.66]She kisses his neck in the evenings
[02:43.61]Tells him for them she's a sweet thing
[02:45.85]In-between meetings
[02:47.02]But he has her depth and the whole of her
[02:49.29001]But when he's holding her hand
[02:51.18]It feels less like her hand
[02:52.68]And more like his hand
[02:53.9]And when he's kissing her face
[02:56.7]It feels less like her face
[02:58.20999]And more like his face
[02:59.69]She's become displaced
[03:00.83]Is she herself
[03:02.16]Or is she the girl that he wants her to be
[03:05.04]She tells him I don't want to hurt you
[03:07.56]But your judgements are heavy
[03:09.13]And they're hurting me
[03:11.06]I never wanted to be anybody other
[03:13.09]Than the person that I am
[03:14.79]And the things that I discovered
[03:16.18]In the circles that I ran
[03:17.59]Have been difficult and humbling
[03:19.22]Some don't understand
[03:20.35]But I'm happiest when struggling
