Get out of here, Joanne.
I swear to God. I'm gamey. I've been going a long time, Jamie. I was an early starter. I loved boys. I was boy mad.
But you can't be 10 and be broken hearted.
Oh my God. Do you remember the song? I swear by the moon.
My God, the pipes are nice.
I know because I've listened to it 60 billion times, crying, holding his, not nunchucks, dog tags, which I'd engraved our names in myself with a compass. He didn't even, he didn't even know I had his, not nunchucks, cold tags, dog tags. Nunchucks. just self-flagellating myself, just hitting my own back.
How does Joanne handle breakups and heartbreak?
Why did he leave? It's your fault. But then I remember my first serious breakup when I was, I don't know, it must have been in my 20s, I'd say. And I, like, obviously, because your first serious relationship, you're like, I guess this is me now. We're going to just get married and have kids. Which is hilarious in hindsight, you know? Like, I have girls coming to my shows now and they're in their early 20s and I'm like, are you going to marry him? She's like, yeah. And I was like, I don't know. You need to speak to Angela. You're too fucking young for this shit. But I was so devastated. Oh my God. I remember I got a train out to his house. I tried to doorstep him basically. And his mum was like, he's not here.
And I ended up going in sitting and waiting. I remember I rang. So I went. I was horrified. heartbroken and I was like I just need to see him he just needs to see me and then everything will be fine like I was quite a needy girlfriend and got the train out to his house he was living with his mum at the time we were only like young and his mum was like he's not here and she could see that I just wasn't going to go anywhere and she's like do you want to come in and wait for him I said yeah so and he wasn't answering my calls I was ringing him off my little pink flip phone and She said, do you want to ring him off the landline? My eyes lit up because I was like, well, he's never going to know that's me.
Yeah, I'll ring him. So he answers what he thinks is his mother.
Hiya, it's me. I murdered your mum. Your mum's trapped to a radiator. If you don't come home in the next 10 minutes, I've got a specific set of skills. That is so not so.
You took a bus to the monster. Took a train, I got the dirt, yeah. He lived in Shank Hill at the time. He took a train to the monster.
