Matt and Nev in their usual seats 3


MATT AND NEV IN THEIR USUAL SEATS 3

David Williams


FX                                                    PUB ATMOS



MATT                                              Nev, ye knaa ‘Fog on the Tyne’.



NEV                                                The Lindisfarne song? Oh, aye.



MATT                                              (SPOKEN NOT SUNG)

                                                         Sittin’ in a sleazy snack-bar,

                                                         Suckin’ sickly sausage rolls,

                                                         Slippin’ down slowly, slippin’ down

                                                         sideways,Think I’ll sign off the dole

                                                         (BEAT) Do ye think the consonantal switch

                                                         in alliterative pattern to introduce the last line

                                                         of the quatrain enhances or diminishes the

                                                         dramatic effect of the underlying satirical

                                                         narrative?

NEV                                                 I diven knaa. (BEAT) Canny song, like.

MATT                                              Oh aye.
