hard graft
Morning....getting ready for work
my suit looks immaculate
i turn up my collar
slip the tie round
creating a perfect knot
you spin me
kiss my lips
step back
laughing
your last words galvanize me
"lets go get em tiger"
later that day...at the bank
nobody goddamn move
remain calm
or we'll start blasting
we only want the goddamn money
