No Care by Daughter
No care, no care in the world
I don't care,
I don't care any more
I don't care, I don't care
Love you in a panic
because I prefer to sit on fences
Spit-kissing on my sickbed
I'm not searching for replacements
But we are like broken instruments
Twisted up
and wheezing out the runnels
Sleepless folks
watching light grow
Through their
early morning windows
I don't care,
I don't care any more
I don't care, I don't care
Oh, I'm too drunk to fight,
hurling curses at your surface
Because I'm aware, because it
hurts that I'm in love again
And you have kissed my neck
so your arguments are insane
Fighting over the way
something was said
Well, I'm still here
like a cheap threat ♪
Oh, here come the scum.
No care, no care any more
No care, no care in the world
I don't care,
I don't care any more
Wanted you to promise me
we would only ever make love. ♪
Remember coming here as kids?
Kids?
We HAD kids.
We were still kids.
We used to cram in there,
splash out on a candyfloss.
Things have changed.
Aye, they have.
- Dylan. Welcome.
- Richard.
- Welcome
- Thanks.
- This is my wife, Cat.
- Of course.
What a pleasure to finally meet you.
- Welcome to Ladies Day.
- Thank you.
And can I just say
what an honour it is to have
someone like yourself
leading off the speeches?
A real lynchpin of our community.
I haven't had to do a speech
since I was at school.
You'll be grand.
It's just a room full
of friends willing you on,
and plenty of local businessmen
who are delighted
to have a chance to
look at a beautiful lady.
Can I, er take you inside
and get you a drink?
- Heh
- Excuse me.
You'll be great.
You look beautiful.
- Save me a dance for later?
- Mm.
- Follow me.
- Oh, thank you.
- After you.
- Thank you.
Brighten up.
OK, closed mouth will do.
How's the married life?
Wife just had our second kid.
Mm! Congrats. Boy or girl?
Wee girl.
Sex life must be shite with the
missus giving birth recently, then.
Oh, we're good.
What if I ordered you to fuck me?
Ollie, come on.
I have a wife and kids.
- Only messing.
- Ah.
What's going on with the boys?
How's everyone responded
to the news?
They're all fine, aye.
Anyone trying to stand out?
What was that?
What?
I saw you looking at the Denson boy.
What, I can't look at people now?
You cannae ask me for his address
then be staring at the boy
and not tell me why.
Tell me you had nothing to do with
them finding out about your dad.
What are you accusing me of, Nan?
You know what I'm accusing you of.
Tell me you're not opening your legs
at anyone who'll have you.
This is more important than you.
This is our family business.
The family's safety.
What business? Dad's stepping away.
Who's going to take over - you?
What's going on?
Nothing.
Going to get a drink.
Ready for your speech?
I had a dream, I was learning
Then your love took it from me
I had a dream, I was learning
Then your love took it from me
I had a dream, I was learning
Then your love took it from me. ♪
We've got a great view from up here.
I hear we might have
a winner on our hands.
I doubt it.
- Where are you going?
- For a piss.
You told them.
About my dad.
What, were you just pretending to
like me so you could get something?
No. Course not.
I'm sorry. OK? I am.
Why'd you do it?
I Just do what's best for my family.
I do what's best for me.
Told my mum about you.
She thinks I'm here
just working on the cars.
Why are you telling me that?
I don't know.
I can't tell anyone else.
So you can tell me things,
but I can't tell you things?
How's that fair?
It's not.
It's not.
Shannon!
What's going on?
I was just talking to my friend.
Talking, aye?
You don't fucking talk
to anyone in this family.
And she's MY friend,
not your friend.
Why was he talking to you?
- I don't know.
- He shouldn't be.
I'm not yours to drag around.
You know that.
Let's go and find your dad.
Have you ever spoken
to that boy before?
Never.
What did he say to you?
You looked deep in a chat
when I got there.
He said you were his friend.
Right, well, he was just
being polite.
He was asking how my day was going.
He's treating us like idiots.
So are some of the others here, too.
I think they're making a move.
You think?
Neck tattoo that Spencer mentioned.
Look like there's only
a few of them.
Go on.
Why?
Do as you're told.
We need to hit them
before they hit us.
Yeah, maybe, but not here.
He was talking
to your daughter, mate!
- If I hadn't got there when
- The entire community's here.
They respect us.
If we start acting like thugs,
they'll treat us like thugs.
Thugs like Liangelo
only respond to a firm hand.
If we don't fucking act, they will.
We're not making a move here.
Understand?
Going to open up my own salon
when I finish.
You could come by,
get some stuff done.
Celebrating?
I saw you chatting
Ben's ear off earlier.
He took your fancy today?
Maybe.
A handsome boy.
There's lots of handsome boys here.
Nay.
I need a handsome man.
Someone in control.
A beautiful lady deserves
a handsome man.
I saw you talking
to our Shannon earlier.
We're friends.
We talk.
Are you?
Dylan tells me you're next in line.
- Aye?
- Aye.
With his blessing.
Andy's, too.
Won't be much to bless if this
Denson business carries on.
It's being handled.
Doesnae seem that way.
They're running round like
they own the town.
There's always
different perspectives
looking from the outside in.
They're here
and they're laughing at you.
Playing the big men in your town.
Chatting to your women.
But I'm sure you're in control.
Different perspectives,
as you say.
All right. All right, I'm sure you
don't want to hear any more from me.
Especially not on Ladies' Day.
So without further ado,
I'm going to step aside for a lady
I'm sure you all know.
She is a leading light
in our community.
Some might even call her a queen.
- Cat Evans.
- Woo!
Thank you.
Erm
I moved here when I was 15
and I've been coming to
this racecourse ever since.
And I've seen this town suffer
and I've seen it prosper.
I've seen it prosper.
We're hard workers.
But
this community
isn't held together by work.
It's
It's held together by love.
And a day like today
is something to cherish.
A day to celebrate the time
that we have with each other.
The more we focus on our love
for each other, the
the more we'll flourish.
So, let's raise a glass
to the ladies in the room.
And let's demand whatever we want.
It's our day, after all.
To the ladies.
To the ladies!
Woo!
- Chin-chin!
- Cheers.
You
You're delusional, you know that.
Right.
You're such a fanny, you can't even
keep control of your family.
Meanwhile your daughter's off doing
God knows what with the enemy.
You're going to let everything
we've built go to shite
because you can't keep
your man happy.
OK.
My son doesn't love you.
Not sure he ever did.
Convenience.
Just a desperate poor slut
willing to carry his babies.
That's the fiery girl I remember.
Nice to see this Cat again.
Fuck you!
Dylan.
Go on.
Are you
stepping away to spend more time
with me and the family, or
is it something else?
- Can we talk about this at home?
- I want to talk about it now.
I don't.
Now's not the time.
For what? A wife?
Do you even love me, Dylan?
Do you really have to ask that?
Clearly I do.
How are you doing, pal?
Having a nice day, aye?
I am, pal.
Brilliant.
That's brilliant.
Fuck's sake!
Fuck's sake!
What happened?
Fucking Denson boy.
Liangelo. Just fucking jumped me
in the toilets,
out of nowhere. Cracked me
while I'm doing a piss.
- We need to act.
- Get the lads. Get the car round the front.
We tried to play nice.
But maybe they need
to fucking get it.
I need to find Shannon.
Get her and the women out.
I need you, your mum
and your nan to head off.
- Why? It's early.
- Shannon, I need you out of here.
Is this cos Arran was talking to me?
He was just being nice.
Arran, is it?
We'll talk about this later.
I need you to do what you're told.
No.
You're my dad. Not my boss.
Yeah, well,
I'm talking to you as your dad.
And I'm asking you to leave.
I don't want to. I can stay.
I'm an adult.
Listen, it's going to kick off
and I want yous at home.
What's happening?
Is it the Densons?
Fine.
- Where's Nan?
- Find her!
- Can we chat?
- Yeah.
Excuse me.
I think my dad and his men
are about to attack you guys.
He's making me and my nan leave.
Why are you telling me that?
- I need to tell my brother.
- No.
I don't want you to fight.
Let's just go.
I can't leave.
When?
Now, I think.
- OK. Well, you need to go.
- Mm-hm.
Yeah, I need to go.
I have to go and help my brother.
Right, let's get you in the car.
Come on, Nan.
OK.
Where's Mum?
She must've gone home early.
- What if she's still here?
- Don't worry, she's not.
- Stay with them when you get home.
- OK.
Thanks for not being a brat.
Hey, Dad.
Don't do anything to that boy.
- Ben.
- Yeah?
- I'm just going to go for a quick piss.
- No. Wait a minute!
Do you want a piss? Can I watch?
It's getting harder to breathe
Chain-smoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chain-smoking your love
Chain-smoking your love
I know my lease is up
And the bailiff's at the door
And still I'm hanging on

I know this cold love
Won't lead me to the lord
