It's midnight in the metropolis, winter is coming, Harry's in the hallway, counting out
his money.
Leon's in the kitchen, he's sharpening knives, the moonlight whispers in the dark
of the skies.
Leon and Harry, friends as before, they could say the word friend, two sides
of the same coin.
Two man industry, they play it very cool.
Harry's got the plans, [Fm] Leon's
got the heavy tools.
[G] Sell at high price to discerning clang and tell.
Tonight Harry's
worried though, cos Leon's high as hell, with an unfamiliar glimmer in his eye.
Looks like
it might [F] be a difficult night, [G] but I take it as it comes.
You gotta do what you gotta
do, yeah, till you get it done.
Gotta know what you're in it for and don't stop [F] till
you've got what you're living [A]
for.
[G] It's horrible in paradise, Harry's at the bar, sipping lager.
Leon's in the corner with a pina colada and two girls, Rachel and Renata, keeping one
eye on Harry and the other on the grass door.
Sounds of laughter, Harry stares ahead of
him, the guy standing next to him, turns to him and he says to him, yo I'm a friend of
you cos I heard you need the money so Harry looks him up and down like I don't understand
you but without saying anything, Harry's on his feet, walking to the bar, he'll try to
look the street.
Guy that is following is flabby round the middle, wearing a blue suit,
[F] pink tie, new boots, [G] hair to the side, little tash and he walks over Leon's and he talks
of a sort of distorted list.
Leon's on his feet, staying hidden as they step into the
back room and say hey, hey, hey.
You gotta take it as it comes, you gotta do what you
gotta do, yeah, till you get it done.
Gotta know what you're in it for and don't stop
till you've got what you're living for.
Take it as it comes, you gotta do what you gotta
do, yeah, till you get it done.
Gotta know what you're in it for and don't stop till
you've got what you're living [F] for.
The [G] guy says call me Joey, this here is my place,
I'm the king to [G] Pico's ace, I hope for your sake mate that you ain't no joker.
Harry says
nothing, [F] Joey beckons to the sofa, [G] they sit on the side of a brass coke tank, there's
a baby shark inside about a metre long, room [Eb] is dim lit and the walls are blank.
Joey says
now we both [Fm] know Pico's come [G] away for a little while, before he left he said you was a good
guy, no funny business.
Joey takes a pocket from the chest by the desk, [F] he puts it on
the tank and his eyes shine, vicious [G] and cold.
Now he's pouring out a brandy, saying this
is premium quality, do you understand me?
Since Pico's apart, the prices have risen,
normal, it used to be okay, sitting there quietly.
Harry opens up his suitcase, I'll
pay you what I paid him, Joey smiles like his tooth aches, all looks sad and strange,
he says pay me what I ask [F] or I'll walk away with [G] nothing.
Oh so well, it's the best coke
in the country, you had to deal with me or your customers go hungry.
What's the matter
Harry, you know you'll never jump and catch up, you're tough as a skank.
Leon's watching
from the corner, wondering if he's bluffing, Joey's waiting, Harry's saying no, no negotiating,
Joey says it's more cruel than what you've had before, this is straight off the plate.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Joey's out from his hiding place, steel toes, hurricane hands, hard face, Joey drops, suddenly
like a kid with his first pill, Harry's at the stack getting the cash, Leon walks through,
Joey's just a pattern in the carpet, Harry shakes his head and puts the package in his
jacket, what's this Leon, it was doing nothing, half [F] hearted, Harry brought back his coke
and tried to sell him, [G] honey. _ _ _ _ _

You gotta take it as it comes, you gotta do what you gotta do, so you get it done,
you know what you're in it for and keep on it, even when it all [F] goes wrong,
you gotta take it as it comes, you gotta do what you gotta do, so you get it done,
you know what you're in it for and keep [F] on it, even when it all [A] goes [G] wrong.
