Mission from ’Arry lyrics

...I mean, it doesn' matter 'oo it is, I mean, the message gets through
Steve: (recorder clicks on mid-sentence)...anyways, 'e did not deserve to get a bollocking...
(recorder clicks on and off here)...the time, I know why 'e got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the f*ck 'e's goin' on (someone speaks in background) about, but 'e didn', but 'e didn' deserve it. All 'e's tryin' t'do is relay a message from me to you, right? N' 'e went the wrong way about it, okay?

Nicko: Yeh, 'e did go the wrong way about it
Steve: Really?
Nicko: Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell ya what, I mean it ain't gonna 'appen again
Bruce: I don't see where you get steamed, I mean, if the truss was gonna...
Nicko: Why I got steamed up Bruce is because 'e f*cked me right up. N' I knew there was a problem, I still didn' know what it was even after 'e...I, I f*cked!
Steve: I know that. Look, it's like...
Nicko: I f*ckin' f*cked-up...n' I stopped, n' it was like "oh, for f*ck's sake!" (tapping his foot as if playing drum solo) Come on kids, n' I'm lookin' 'round...what is 'e tryin' to tell me? What's the problem? (mumbles something unintelligible)

Steve: Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm tryin' to get a f*ckin' message through to ya, right?...I'd'a still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I 'ad to go me gear done...as it 'appens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick o' th'time I got it done. If I...
Nicko: Yeah, I still didn't get the message
Steve: I know you didn'. But wha' we're sayin' (mumbles something unintelligible) wha'ever 'appens if I got 'im tryin' to get a f*ckin' message to ya. Y'know wha' I mean?

Nicko: Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not 'andling it the right way
Steve: You don' fink o' fings like that Nick
Nicko: But that's diff...look...(something completely unintelligible)
Steve: I bollocked...I was shou'ing at ya, "look, my gear's gone down"
Nicko: It's me that f*cked-up
Steve: Listen...
Nicko: I'm the one out the(r)e all on me own...
Steve: I know
Nicko: ...I'm doin' a drum solo. N' I've got f*ckin' talkin'...
Steve: N' I'm the one, I'm only one 'a finking, I've got f*cking like a minute t'go before m..., to get this f*cking gear right
Bruce: Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me...
Steve: No?
Bruce:
Nicko: Bruce, it's different...
Steve: It's a different situation
Nicko: ...it's different for you. You're not standin' there all on your f*ckin' own 'avin' a somebody try to get your attention n' talk to ya. I'm playin' a drum solo, n' the guy's standin' a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'...
Steve: Yeah, all I'm tryin' a...
Nicko: ..."f*cking anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???". f*ck! (lets out frustrated grunt) By the time I've got that far, I'm f*ckin' totally f*cked. Because I'm p..., I'm not payin' attention to my gig...
Steve: Ey, look...
Nicko: ...I'm payin' attention to what 'e's tryin' to tell me
Bruce: Yeh, but nobody woulda noticed
Steve: I complete...
Nicko: I noticed!

Steve: I completely understand that
Nicko: f*cked me right up
Steve: But 'e, 'e was only doin' wha I told 'im t'do, n' that was get a message t'you. Now that the f*cking 'eat o' the moment n' just, everything on 'and...'e don' fink to f*cking tell Bill, 'e wants to get the message t'you, not to f*cking Bill, so 'e don' fink o' that, 'e just tries to get the message t'you, right? So, 'e don' f*cking deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, arright 'e got one I know...no say in 'at. But I just don', you know...
Bruce: (possibly saying "Attente! Attente!")
Steve: ...Bob was a nice guy. 'E's not like 'e's, f*ckin', 'e's an as*h*le...
Nicko: No, no...
Steve: ...or an idiot, or anyfing like 'at
Nicko: Oh no, but 'e was out of order, because 'e didn'...
Bruce: 'E wasn't out of order
Nicko: "E was
Steve: 'E wasn't out of order. 'E was wrong
Nicko: 'E was, cause 'e f*cked me up by tryin to tell me…
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: If 'e'd o' come up to the riser...
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: Look...
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: ...if 'e'd o' come up to the riser dere, (shouting) I COULDA f*ckIN' 'EARD 'IM!!!

Steve: But nick...
Nicko: c*nt was standin' be'ind, I was sittin' down
Steve: Yeh...
Nicko: ..."bada-bada-ba"
Steve: 'E was wrong. 'e made a mistake, but 'e wasn't out of order
Bruce: It wasn't deliberate
Steve: 'E made a mistake...
Nicko: Now, I know it ain't deliberate
Steve: ...for f*ck's sake
Nicko: I didn' know that at the time, right? I still didn't that know Steve 'ad a problem wif 'is bass...
Steve: That's wha' I'm sayin'
Nicko: ...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo,'e 'ad 'is bass wo(r)kin' again
Steve: It was all that f*cking grief...
Bruce: All it takes is the guy...
Nicko: The grief was, because I bollocked 'im up, n' I 'appened to tell ya (something unintelligible) go out n' apologize right. f*ck 'im, I'm gonna go n' apologize to 'im
Bruce: Well all you gotta do...
Nicko: It's not for me to apologize. I bollocked 'im cause 'e f*cked me up. Right there, 'e f*cked me up. 'E was wrong

Bruce: All you gotta do...no 'e wasn't wrong
Nicko: 'E was
Steve: 'E wasn't wrong
Nicko: 'E did not 'andle it...'e's not even f*ckin' communicating, right?
Steve: Aw! I don' wanna f*ckin' argue about this, it's f*cking stupid...I fink you're really out of order, I fink...honestly

Nicko: No bollocks! Oh I am no(t) out of order
Steve: You are. You're a'itude is out of order
Nicko: 'E...no it ain't

Steve: It is
Nicko: No it ain't. The guy f*cked me up
Steve: I know 'e did...
Nicko: Well then that's out of order...
Steve: ...'e din' mean to
Nicko: (close to hysteria) LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN 'E (Nicko hits something) f*ckIN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!!
(Steve and Bruce say something in background)
The fact is that 'e was a dumbkopf, cause 'e don' know 'ow to f*ckin' communicate wif me onstage...
Bruce: But 'e's not a dumbkopf
Steve: (?) Not close (?)
Nicko: Aww!
Steve: 'E's not f*ckin' stupid

Nicko: Well, 'e f*ckin' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn' 'e?
Steve: 'E made a mistake, because I...
Nicko: Wha'd'you mean "He made a mistake"?

Steve: Because I...
Nicko: You sent 'im. 'Ow could 'e make a mistake?

Steve: That's why
Nicko: 'Ow did 'e make a mistake?
Steve: Well, 'e made the mistake by not sendin' Bill first, right?
Nicko: Well, well 'e made a mistake, right?
Steve: Yeah
Nicko: Well, why?...
Bruce: There's a difference between makin' a mistake...
Steve: Well that's what I'm sayin'
Bruce: ...n' a difference between makin' a human error...
Nicko: Right, so 'e made a mistake, right?

Steve: Yeah!
Nicko: N' I'm griefed up cause 'e f*ckin' made me made a mistake. Now that 'e...now I can understand wha' 'e was talkin' about after the fact...it remains to be seen, 'e was on a mission from you
Steve: Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it

Nicko: Right? (it gets quiet for a second) f*ck my ol' boots, it just...I can't 'an, I can't 'andle that situation wif people (something about grief)... n it's important to me t'get a message like that...f*ckin' 'ell! I cannot get some...get, get...when' I also f*cked as well...I wouldna minded if I'd 'a gotten wha' it was 'appenin' straight. Like, on the end "aw right, 'Arris got 'is bass f*cked, right I'll carry on n' do sumfing else", then that's fine, if I didn' f*ck-up...but 'e made me f*ck. It totally frew me right out, n' 'e wasn'...
Steve: I know it did
Nicko: ...'e didn't know 'ow to talk to me about it. N', n' I've, I've told 'im "don't do that again."
Steve: Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. 'E was just...
Nicko: N' 'e never turned 'round
Steve: ...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that 'e was the first one on 'and
Nicko: 'Arry
Steve: 'E was just standin' there

Nicko: 'E never turned 'round, 'e never even turned 'round afterwards and said "Listen, did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn' understand wha' I was sayin' right?"
Steve: Well why should he?
Nicko: Well then, then, then because...
Steve: 'E got a f*ckin' bollocking
Nicko: ...'e woulda stood up for 'imself because 'e knows 'e was gotten a bollocking wrong, because 'e was on a mission from you
Steve: 'E was probably...
Bruce: No
Steve: 'E was probably f*ckin' upset...
Bruce: 'E's probably a bit upset
Steve: ...because you gave 'im a f*cking bollocking

Nicko: Well, rightly
Steve: You gave 'im up for...as far as 'e's con...
Bruce: No, not rightly
Nicko: Rightly, yeah
Steve: But no, it's not rightly
Bruce: No!

Nicko: I told 'im "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"
Steve: No
Bruce: That's crazy
Steve: But what?...
Bruce: What 'appens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on yer 'ead? Does 'e go?...

Nicko: Well then somebody drags me out o' the f*ckin' way, or else I'm dead, right?
Bruce: Yeah, but don't...I mean...you know
Steve: I fink your a'itude is totally f*cking out of order
Nicko: No it ain't. No it ain't

Steve: Yes it is
Nicko: No it ain't. If I'd 'a known...now I'm the f*ckin' c*nt all of a sudden
Steve: No, you're not the c*nt
Bruce: You're not a c*nt

Nicko: Because I told 'im 'e was out of order, n' I didn't know 'e was on a mission from you to tell me that 'is bass, your bass was f*ckED!
Steve: I know you didn'
Bruce: All you've got to do Nicko, is just go to the guy and say...
Steve: You didn' know, n' 'e didn' know, arright?
Bruce: "Sorry about, sorry about shouting. It was a misunderstanding. But in future, tell Bill" that's all you gotta say
Nicko: No. No
Bruce: N' that way, he's a f*ckin' proud geezer...
Steve: Wha's, wha's the ma'er with ya?
Bruce: He goes...
Nicko: Look...
Steve: Cause if this is some sorta (pride/crime?)...(something unintelligible)
Nicko: I bollocked 'im...no it ain't pride. It's, it's not f*ckin' pride
Steve: Well wha's the ma'er wif ya?

Bruce: It is pride
Nicko: Oh bollocks!
Steve: What's the matter wif ya?

Nicko: The guy was wrong to 'ave been f*ckin' dere to do wha' 'e done
Steve: I know. All I'm, all I'm gonna say is that when you're goin' up tomorrow...
Bruce: No it isn't wrong. What's 'e supposed to do? Turn 'round...
Steve: ...this is a different a'itude, cause this is f*cking stupid
Nicko: I told 'im straight out not to do it again
Bruce: What's 'e supposed to do? What's 'e?...
Nicko: I'm not gonna go out n' apologize for sayin' that to 'im...
Bruce: 'E's NOT!
Nicko: ...'e was outta f*ckin' order
Bruce: 'E's not out of order

Bruce: Wha' 'appens...
Nicko: Bruce
Bruce: ...if I f*cking go n' tell somebody to do somethin', 'e goes "No, f*ck off! I'm not gonna do that."
Nicko: Listen, Bruce...
Bruce: Then 'e's out of order
Nicko: Bruce...
Bruce: But 'e goes n' tells 'im to go n' do something...

Nicko: ...I'm not concerned wif, wif, wif, wif, wif other people that can't f*ckin' talk to me on stage, who don't know 'ow to f*ckin' communicate wif me...
Bruce: But 'e's not out of order tryin' to do it
Nicko: ...'e did not know 'ow to communicate wif me

Steve: (walking towards tape recorder) Some c*nt's recording this!
(tape shuts off)
