Hi everybody. This is my first MMFD fic. I've based it it all on Oasis songs and each chapter kind of tells a story as we go along...if that makes sence? I've got about 13 chapters and I'll try to update as often as possible. Anyway enough blabble and I hope you all enjoy! :)


Songs To Live Your Life To.

Is it my imagination or have I finally found something worth living for?

I was looking for some action, but all I found was cigarettes and alcohol.

You could wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine.

You might as well do the white line 'cos when it comes on top,

You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen.

Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?

It's a crazy situation, but all I need are cigarettes and alcohol.

You could wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine.

You might as well do the white line 'cos when it comes on top,

You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen. You gotta make it happen.

You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it...

It was 1994 and a 15 year old Finn had found a new love in his life. It was a Saturday and him and his best mate Chop had been hanging out on the streets of Lincolnshire hoping to chat up some girls. They'd actually told their parents that they were going out looking for weekend jobs, both had been driven nuts lately by their 'rents about getting work. They only had another year left at school before college and if their parents had any say in it, it seemed the break inbetween would be taken up with earning money instead of having fun. It was stupid though, there was hardly any work going and anything that was, was boring and paid little. So instead they did what they'd done every Saturday. Looked at girls instead. Chop knew that girls loved to hit the shops at the weekend and always dragged Finn along as his wingman. The pair of them always ended up getting lucky, but today had been different, today they couldn't reel in a single catch?

"Fuck this, let's just go to the pub and watch some footie." Finn said after another girl had turned down Chop's advances.

"Yeah alright, let me just get some ciggies and booze first." He replied in defeat and then walked into the nearest off license and made his purchase. Thankfully for Chop, his height made him look older then he was and he always managed to get served.

Offering Finn a ciggie on the way to the pub, Finn shook his head. He'd never smoked, he'd never even drank! Every time they went to the pub, he'd stick to soft drinks. Chop always asked him if he wanted a little drop of the booze he'd usually sneak in, but Finn always refused. "Fair enough, but you don't know what you're missing." Chop told him before lighting a ciggie for himself.

Once they walked into the pub, Finn went to the bar and ordered their usual cokes and crisps. "Had your Dad in here the other night asking if I had any jobs going for you." The barman spoke as he served him and Finn just rolled his eyes.

"Hope you told him you didn't?" Finn responded and the barman shook his head.

"No, we've got all our pot men for now lad, but maybe in a few years when you're old enough you could work behind the bar?" He told him and Finn just nodded, but hoped to God that the opportunity would never come up.

Paying for their drinks and crisps, Finn then walked over to where Chop was sat and placed everything down. "What's the score?" Finn asked as he sat down and put his change in his pocket.

"2-0 to them." Chop replied and then sneaked the booze he'd bought from the off license out and poured it into his coke.

"Here let me have some." Finn whispered and Chop looked up in surprise, not sure he'd just heard those words come out of his best mates mouth. Finn nodded, letting him know that he had and then Chop sneakily poured the vodka into Finn's drink.

"Not that I'm complaining, but why the sudden change?" Chop asked.

"Barman just told me that me Dad had been in here the other night asking about a job for me." Finn answered and Chop just pulled a face. "And then you made it worse by telling me we were losing in the footie." He added with a laugh and Chop joined in.

"Here's to parents on our case and drowning our sorrows then!" Chop toasted and Finn clinked his glass with him and let the vodka do it's magic as he swallowed it.

From that moment on, Finn got a love for alcohol and not just that, but cigarettes too and he had his football team getting thrashed 5-0 by full time to thank for that one.
