lad.
Your normal.
Not his.

Put the accent first.
Still finished last.
“Broad Liverpool.”
“Keep it throughout.”
Made the letters bigger.
Didn't help his mouth.
Nearly there.
Run it back.
Lovely trombone.
Keep that.
“That’s perfect.”
Hadn't heard it yet.
Pressed play.
Bit premature, that.
Put “la” in the lyrics.
Put “lad” in twice.
He Safe.
He pronounced them clearly.
Very polite.
Asked for two fellas
to have a quick chat.
“PERSON ONE.”
Didn't mean say that.
Nearly there.
Run it back.
Leave him a minute.
He's reading the brackets.
Twenty-five points for the bend in a vowel.
Made us a table.
Looked proper, an' all.

In the first paragraph.
Nearly there.
Run it back.
Lovely trombone, though.
Don't sing the chorus.
