Cocktail is a romantic drama film released by Touchstone Pictures in 1988. Directed by Roger Donaldson, the film is based on the book of the same name by Heywood Gould, who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Tom Cruise as a talented and ambitious bartender who aspires to working in business and finds love with Elisabeth Shue while working at a bar in Jamaica. The original music score was composed by Maurice Jarre.
After leaving the United States Army and moving to New York City, Brian Flanagan (Cruise) gets a part-time job as a bartender at T.G.I. Friday's while studying for a business degree (which he needs to get a job in marketing). At first, Brian is a terrible bartender, revealed in a montage of his screw ups. Over time, he learns the tricks of the trade including flairing from his boss/mentor Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown). Brian and Doug soon become very close; Doug readily assumes a mentor role over the young and naive Brian, and rains advice and opinions down upon him. His advice takes a familiar structure as he usually begins most of them with "Coughlin's Law". An example of his expert advice, which actually turns out to be quite poignant, is "Coughlin's Law: Drink or be gone!" Other pearls include: "Bury the dead, they stink up the joint." and "Anything else is always something better."
Kawaita nodo ni nagashikonda amai kaori
Kokoro ga tsugi kara tsugi e to afuredasu...
SAKKAABOORU wo zutto oikaketeru you na
Ano koro to onaji hitomi de mitsumenaide
Sannenme no OFISU wa tokku ni narekitte
Kawari ni atashi wa nanika wo nakushita no
Kekkon wo batsu GEEMU mitai ni iu otonatachi
Sonna n ja yume sae mirenai kodomo da shi
Atashi ga suki ni natta kurai no hito dakara
Anata ga eranda kanojo wa kitto suteki
Nan datte iiatteta tooi hi no futari
Chotto gikochi nakatta koi no soudan mo
Ima dewa chanto dekiru toshi ni natta
Minna shiawase da to ii na negau hodo
Dan'na to futari totta HAGAKI fuete kuru
Gonen mae kokoro no soko kara hoshikatta
Anata no kodomo ni atashi no omokage wa nai
Koi datte yume datte takusan aru noni
Kyou datte ano hito oshi ga dekitereba
Katei no you na iiwake ga muda ni fueta
Tsurai koto kanashii koto wo nigetakute
Amai KAKUTERU ni oboreta yoru wa iranai
Tsurai koto kanashii koto ni mukiatta
Nagai kakutou ni atashi wa mata nigeru
Ichinichi wo konna ni nagaku kanjiru noni
Ichinen ga konna ni hayaku sugite shimau
Ichinen wo konna ni hayaku kanjiru noni
Fear
Roots of the empire you built upon us
Fire
is gonna give you what you deserve
determine the chaos
Time
Judgemental vein of the oldest slaves
Your Eyes are witnesses
Rampart of the money is now falling
i can smell your pain
i can see you're going insane
in times of the fire
time is taking you far away
Years
All those years are gone
That we dance in harmony
Propoganda, mind control
It's time to turn over your throne
Horn
Just like the horn of a bull
We got into the heart of the town
Time is the witness
Castle of the system is now burning
i can smell your pain
i can see you're going insane
in times of the fire
time is taking you far away
Night is coming down slowly
In here i can see my city
Burn in a thousand flames
Don't be scared
That's the way to set you
FREE
That's the way to set you free
You must see their hypocrisy
"Feel the fire in your veins"
That's the way to live your life
In other time
With a better way
"Don't let them to control hate"
We control the fire
Time is taking you away
You perverted liar
