Taffin is a 1988 Irish thriller film directed by Francis Megahy and starring Pierce Brosnan in the title role of Mark Taffin. It also featured Ray McAnally, Alison Doody and Jeremy Child. Taffin's quote "Then maybe you shouldn't be living heeeeeeeeeeeeere!" became an internet meme after repeated plays on the Adam & Joe show on BBC Radio 6 Music.
The plot concerns Taffin and his methods of executing justice, in order to save a local park in the town of Ballymoran.
A tough debt collector is asked by his local community to help rid the town of developers bent on building a chemical plant on the outskirts of town. The developers are ruthless and have sent their heavies into town to keep the locals quiet.
Taffin was filmed in County Wicklow in Ireland in 1987 and 1988.
Issues arose between the author Lyndon Mallet and the production company surrounding the casting of Pierce Brosnan in the role of Mark Taffin. This was due to the actual nature of the character in the book. In the book, Mark Taffin was never a handsome man; he was decidedly overweight and very unattractive, a very different image to that portrayed by Brosnan.

Adam and Joe began working on comedy material during their time at Westminster School together, where they created numerous amateur films along with their friend Louis Theroux. Some of these films were submitted to Channel 4's home video showcase Takeover TV in 1994 and led to Adam hosting that show in 1995.

They won the Royal Television Society Best Newcomers Award in 1998, published The Adam and Joe Book in 1999, and presented BBC Three's coverage of the Glastonbury Festival in 2000 and 2002.

I thought at last that I had found someone
Someone who wouldn't let me down
Someone who wouldn't cheat on me
When I'm not around
Everybody says you better watch out
He's only gonna use you
Don't give your heart away to him
Cause his love ain't true
They keep sayin'
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
Better walk away while you can
It feels so right when we're together boy
But I don't want to be used
I'd like to give myself to you
But I'm so confused
You tell me everything I've heard about you
Is just a lot of silly lies (silly lies)
You're saying your in love with me
But something just ain't right
They keep saying
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
You better walk away while you can
I don't want to go through the sorrow
If your love is just come and go
Don't you let me wake up tomorrow
And be the last one to know
know...
They keep saying
Better walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
You better walk away while you can
Walk away
I'm so confused
I better walk away while I can
'Cause my heart's in control and I don't understand
I'm a young girl, you're almost a man
Better walk away, walk away
I better walk away
(They keep sayin' better)
walk away while you can
'Cause your heart's in control and you don't understand
Still a young girl, he's almost a man
better walk away while you can
You better walk away while you can
better walk away while you can (you can)
