The Heist Lyrics - Everybody Down - Kate Tempest

It's midnight in the metropolis 

Winter is coming 

Harry's in the hallway 

Counting out his money 

Leon's in the kitchen 

Sharpening knives 

The moonlight whispers 

In the dark of the skies 

Leon and Harry 

Friends since 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, Leon's got the heavy tools 

Sell at high price to discerning clientele 

But tonight Harry's worried, though 

'Cause Leon's high as hell 

With an unfamiliar glimmer in his eye 

Looks like it might be a difficult night

You've got to take it as it comes 

You've got to do what you've got to do 

Until you get it done 

You've got to know what you're in it for 

And don't stop 'til you got what you're living for 

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 dancefloor 

Sounds of laughter 

Harry stares ahead of him 

The guy standing next him 

Turns to him and he says to him: 

'I'm a friend of Pico's, I heard you need the medicine' 

Harry looks him up and down, like 

I don't like the stench of him 

Without saying anything, Harry's on his feet 

Walking to the back room, trying to look discreet 

The guy that he's following is flabby round the middle 

Wearing a blue suit, pink tie, new boots 

Slick hair to the side, little 'tache 

And he walks with a limp 

He talks with a sort of distorted lisp 

Leon's on his feet, staying hidden 

As they step into the back room, he slips in with them 

You've got to take it as it comes 

You've got to do what you've got to do 

Until you get it done 

You've got to know what you're in it for 

And don't stop 'til you got what you're living for 

You've got to take it as it comes 

You've got to do what you've got to do 

Until you get it done 

You've got to know what you're in it for 

And keep on, even when it all goes wrong 

The guy says, 'Call me Joey 

This here is my place 

I'm the King to Pico's Ace 

And I hope for your sake mate that you ain't no joker.' 

Harry says nothing 

Joey beckons to the sofa 

They sit either side of a glass-topped tank 

There's a baby shark inside, about a metre long 

The room is dim lit and the walls are blank 

Joey says, 'Now we both know that Pico's gone 

Away for a little while 

Before he left, he said you was a good guy 

No funny business.' 

Joey takes a package from the chest by the desk 

And he puts it on the tank and 

His eyes shine vicious and cold 

Now he's pouring out a brandy 

Saying, 'This is premium quality 

Do you understand me? 

Since Pico's departure, the prices have risen 

It's double what it used to be 

Ok?' 

Sitting there quietly 

Harry opens up his suitcase 

'I'll pay you what I paid him.' 

Joey smiles like his tooth aches 

All lop-sided and strange 

He says, 'You'll pay me what I ask for 

Or you walk away with nothing 

You know full well 

It's the best coke in the country 

You either deal with me or your customers go hungry 

What's the matter, Harry? You look a little jumpy 

Cat got your tongue or something?' 

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 pure 

Than what you've had before 

This is straight off the boat 

No joke 

Where's the notes?' 

In a breath, Leon's out from his hiding place 

Steel toes, hurricane hands, calm face 

Joey drops suddenly 

Like a kid with his first pill 

Harry's at the stash 

Getting the cash 

Leon works 'til 

Joey's just a pattern in the carpet 

Harry shakes his head and puts the package in his jacket 

'What?' says Leon 

'Ain't worth doing nothing half-hearted.' 

Harry buttons his coat and tries to settle his 

Panic 

You've got know what you're in it for 

And keep on, right? 

Even when it all goes wrong?
