A professional is a person who is paid to undertake a specialized set of tasks and to complete them for a fee. The traditional professions were doctors, engineers, lawyers, clergymen and commissioned military officers. Today, the term is applied to architects, accountants, educators, engineers, scientists, technology experts, social workers and many more.
The term is also used in sports to differentiate amateur players from those who are paid - hence "professional footballer" and "professional golfer". Many companies include the word professional in their store name to signify the quality of their workmanship or service.
In some cultures, the term is used as shorthand to describe a particular social stratum of well educated, mostly salaried workers, who enjoy considerable work autonomy, a comfortable salary, and are commonly engaged in creative and intellectually challenging work.
Due to the personal and confidential nature of many professional services, and thus the necessity to place a great deal of trust in them, most professionals are subject to strict codes of conduct enshrining rigorous ethical and moral obligations.
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1986), better known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in upstate New York, Del Rey moved to New York City at age eighteen, where she attended college and began writing music and performing in clubs.
In 2008, Del Rey contracted with an independent label and recorded a self-titled debut album which was briefly available on iTunes in 2010; Del Rey ultimately bought back the rights to the album and it was withdrawn soon after.
In June 2011, she released the song "Video Games" on the Internet, accompanied by a self-made music video that went viral in the following months. The song was later released as a single in October, leading up to Del Rey's major-label debut album, Born to Die, which was released on January 31, 2012 through Interscope Records. Born to Die debuted at number one in seven countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. The album has spawned two worldwide top 10 hits: "Video Games" and "Born to Die".
Plot
This series chronicled the lives of Bodie and Doyle, top agents for Britain's CI5 (Criminal Intelligence 5), and their controller, George Cowley. The mandate of CI5 was to fight terrorism and similar high-profile crimes. Cowley, a hard ex-MI5 operative, hand-picked each of his men. Bodie was a cynical ex-SAS paratrooper and mercenary whose nature ran to controlled violence, while his partner, Doyle, came to CI5 from the regular police force, and was more of an open minded liberal. Their relationship was often contentious, but they were the top men in their field, and the ones to whom Cowley always assigned to the toughest cases.
Keywords: cult-tv, secret-agent, spy
[scene-setting voiceover from Season 1 opening titles]::George Cowley: Anarchy, acts of terror, crimes against the public. To combat it I've got special men - experts from the army, the police, from every service - these are The Professionals.
Everything will be alright when you touch the you in Christ
But just the smiles upon the dust, you’ll provide the only cure
And memories from every time still won’t never find no reason why
No reason why
Who put you on the wall?
Who’s the one who has to watch you fall?
Who put you on the pedestal?
Who’s the one who wins out pass the fool?
And when she writes to you, desperation shot in through
Will you take the time to call her? Once again, she’ll be the fool
Rack of soldiers fade away; your time has got to come one day
One day
Who put you on the wall?
Who’s the one who has to watch you fall?
Who put you on the pedestal?
Who’s the one who wins out pass the fool?
And memories from every time still won’t never find no reason why
No reason why
Who put you on the wall?
Who’s the one who has to watch you fall?
Who put you on the pedestal?
Who’s the one who wins out pass the fool?
Who put you on the wall?
Who’s the one who has to watch you fall?
Who put you on the pedestal?
Oh no, it’s you again crashing on the door
Don’t think I’ll rebuttal once again
I don’t know why you keep coming back for more
With someone I use to call a friend
I’m not so crossed the way with half the things you say
It doesn’t work you anymore
I see you farther, farther down on your knees
Cause you’ve gone too far to fall
Yes, you got too far to fall
I stay up all night just to listen to the news
Again and again and time and time again
But all I ever get are old mess kind of news
This time, it’s got to be the end
You shouldn’t shout about it, the way you do
It doesn’t make any sense at all
There’s no doubt about it, no doubt at all
Cause you’ve gone too far to fall
Yes, you got too far to fall
You’ve never felt quite the fall
Too far, too far to fall
You shouldn’t shout about it, the way you do
It doesn’t make any sense at all
There’s no doubt about it, no doubt at all
Cause you’ve gone too far to fall
Watch the sun, I’m so bliss through the open morning sky
Got the sounds through in my head
It must be the northern sign
Shout it out on the way back home, down the open mount
I can still remember, they’ll never catch us now
Yesterday, I was working for the night
Yesterday, I was feeling out of sight
Northern slide, keep on sliding
Northern boys, keep on fighting
Northern girls, keep it at it
Northern slide goes
Is anybody gonna know?
Work out through the girlish town on the other side of the world
I guess you remember all the silly girls
They just say it’s up to up, but they want just to fight
We can’t fight, I’m going in at it all the way through the night
Yesterday, I was feeling out of sight
Yesterday, I was working for the night
Northern slide, keep on sliding
Northern boys, keep on fighting
Northern girls, keep it at it
Northern slide goes
Is anybody gonna know?
Northern slide, keep on sliding
Northern girls, keep on fighting
Northern boys, keep it at it
Northern slide goes
Is anybody gonna know?
It’s just a matter of losing and everyday I saw a thing
I saw the look on his face, I saw him go without a trace
No surprise, no screams, no delivery, no one seems
Everybody knows
But that’s the way it always goes
Just keep looking with your eyes closed
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Try to keep your riches going, try to keep your business clean
Find a reason at all, things ain’t what they seem
I’ve got something, something to hide
Go for a run and go for a ride
And I thought I heard you say
There isn’t any other way
Some fun got in the way
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la [x3]
La, la, la
I remembered when they told you that you had to leave it out
That the King’s Road fade on a Saturday; that’s what it’s all about
The 100 Club on Monday was the only place to be
Bultex on a Tuesday; what else did you need?
Everybody’s rocking to the rhythm of the reggae sound
No one wants to get left out, everyone’s around
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Are you in it for a love, boy? Are you in it for the change?
Are you in it for anything? Well, I’m in it all the same
My band upon my back, son; we’re back there again today
It’s not the same as the last one, but anything makes a change
Now everybody’s dancing to the motor city beat
You got to look real sharp, boy; you got to move your feet
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Well, there they caught you skanking to the sick new bleeding fun
Everything’s just dandy; just stay and fucking run
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Are you mod?
Are you a skin?
Are you punk?
Or are you just faking?
Is there a mod?
Are you a skin?
The punk rockers, we’re hearing it again
Is there a mod?
Are you a skin?
Everyday is the same in here
I think I need some air
You’re telling me that I’m mad
But I know that the pills are bad
Help me, sonny, take me away from here
Help me, sonny, you don’t have to care
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Is anybody out there?
ECT through my brain
It was made to take the strain
Hotheads full of fear
They never, never get out of here
Help me, sonny, take me away from here
Help me, sonny, you don’t have to care
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
I’m just a honky peck little piggy-boy
Little boys in blue, they got a job to do
In a uniform, they tell you what to do
They help old ladies across the street
Direct the traffic on the street
It’s a job just like yours and mine
But you’re always working overtime
You can enjoy it anytime
Just as long as you toll the line
And your hut is six feet tall
And you look so fucking futile
And when they’re walking on the beef
I’d like to know just what they all think
There’s a sod in down the cold
Come on, let’s go and give him a hold
We’ll take him down to the leading yard
We’ll find out if he’s fucking wrong
Special portal, license to kill
Little town, they’ll beat you well
They don’t care who they blame
All they bother’s who they name
I just been caught by that little piggy
Little boys like you, they got a job to do
In a uniform, I’ll tell you what to do
Help old ladies across the street
Direct the traffic in the sleep
It’s a job that you won’t mind
But I’m always working overtime
Come and see me anytime
But you’ll have to toll the line
And I’m not quite tense at all
But I’ll really have a go
And when I’m walking on the street
You’d like to know just what I think
Don’t you think I look a fool?
You should get on back to school
Drinking out down by the yard
You’re so tough and you’re so hard
If you try, you can feel them
Don’t look now, cause you should win em’
Baby-faced and ready to kill
Any boy whose written their will
Excuse me
Little boys like you [x7]
Hiding gets you nowhere fast,
It’s obvious
Right back where you last started
Don’t get locked out with the fans
Take your fate in both your hands
If no one ever answers
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Make your way to the man in charge
Hit him once and hit him hard
Here, there, you ain’t fooling
Go back down there, do it again
Pray that he’ll remember when
He has tried to stop you
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Waiting for the other side
You just say I never tried
I get so lazy sometimes
You get left out with the rest
Heaven knows I did my best
Now there’s no time left for reason
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Go get ready now, ready to lose
I’ve paid your money and I’ve bet your choose
The easiest way to shallow
Never mind those tired fuse
Both feet first, that’s all, you’re through
Next time never comes, well, maybe
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Kick down the doors
Run to the top
Kick down the doors
Don’t you ever stop
Don’t you ever stop
Don't you write your epitaph for me
Cause I don't need it yet, can't you see?
I'm alive and kicking, doing very well
I don't need your words of wisdom
Yours are going to hell
I ain't gonna be a kamikaze
I ain't gonna clean nobody's khazi
I ain't going to Benghazi for you
We all know how it ends, with a rock and roll Hollywood God
Found by one of your friends, with your head flushed down the bog
A new star in the sky, with a million in the bank
But I ain't gonna die, for a world-wide media w*nk.
I ain't gonna be a kamikaze
I ain't gonna clean nobody's khazi
I ain't going to Benghazi for you
I ain't gonna be a kamikaze
I ain't gonna clean nobody's khazi
I ain't going to Benghazi for you
I ain't gonna be a kamikaze
I ain't gonna clean nobody's khazi
I ain't gonna be a kamikaze
I ain't gonna clean nobody's khazi
I’m always hoping, waiting for the day
Something’s gonna to turn up and I will be amazed
Just the other night when I crashed out in my bed
I thought I was a champion, but I found instead
That it’s just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Just like any other dream
When I’m walking out alone thinking to myself
What it is I got to do to get a little help?
People never want to know; I just can’t believe
I thought someone might be there, but I know again
That it’s just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Just like any other dream
Just another dream
Yeah, I wanna see the world for free
But I won’t like the things I see
Up to three-four really ain’t no style
Call it up, call it once again
The commies are coming, did I hear you say?
Who cares? Who knows? Maybe I will one day
Who knows what you're gonna see?
Who knows when your turn will be?
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today
A kick in the head everyday for years
Wouldn't get me going there
Shot in the heart, secretly for me
Do you really have to say
What goes on everyday?
Does your country mean that much to you?
Who knows what you're gonna see?
Who knows when your turn will be?
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today
Rock on, Tommy
Who knows what you're gonna see?
Who knows when your turn will be?
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today
Join the professionals
Be a professional
You’re gonna be one anyway
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Can anybody see you hanging on?
No one seems to know just what went wrong
Has anybody got an alibi?
Today, another year went quickly by
It’s really good, the things you can do these days
And it all depends on what’s the latest ways
You never know what’s coming around the bend
You never know how quickly things commend
I could be wrong, you should be here to stay
It might not be the same, it’s such a shame
And it’s so hard to turn the other way
One thing I should of never... so they say
Can anybody see you hanging on?
No one seems to know just what went wrong
Has anybody got an alibi?
Today, another year went quickly by
Has anybody got an alibi?
Today, another year went quickly by
You don't know if I'm a berk
And you don't care if I go to work
As long as I keep marching up and down
Up and down your parade ground.
What's the use in saying what you mean?
Just wash yourself and keep your body clean.
I know I got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I got mess on my shoes
What am I supposed to do?
And it's 1 - I'm on the run
And it's 2 - I dunno what I've done
And it's 3 - you're telling me
I'm still a baby.
What am I doing standing here
Training to be a brigadier?
You're telling me to be a man
Why can't you just understand?
What's the use in saying what you mean?
Just wash yourself and keep your body clean.
I know I got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I got mess on my shoes
What am I supposed to do?
And it's 1 - I'm on the run
And it's 2 - I dunno what I've done
And it's 3 - you're telling me
I'm still a baby.
And it's 1 - I'm on the run
And it's 2 - I dunno what I've done
And it's 3 - you're telling me
I'm still a baby, a baby, a baby, a baby.
And it's 1 - I'm on the run
And it's 2 - I dunno what I've done
And it's 3 - you're telling me
I'm still a baby.
And it's 1 - I'm on the run
And it's 2 - I dunno what I've done
And it's 3 - you're telling me
I’m on the receiving end of little game picket plays
I wish they would just leave me out the way
Long expresso with my time, can’t stand the way you talk
And when you count the cost, it cuts to lost
All the way with you
All the way with you
I’m going around in circles, you’re moving from behind
It keeps me going on time after time
What’s the use me bothering? You don’t seem to care
And when I want to call, you won’t be anywhere
All the way with you
All the way with you
I’m walking up and ready to go when he’s right by my side
But I don’t the like the way my hands are tied
Who can make some sense of it? Look at the way he messed up
Who’s gonna be the one whose got to get up?
All the way with you
All the way with you
All the way
All the way
Keep on moving with the times
Keep on walking time after time
Don’t nothing get to you to make you want to scream?
If you won’t try, that’s fine, cause you won’t hear a thing
Whoa ohh, whoa ohh
I wanna hear a crescendo
On the tourists, you can hear the voices
What goes on the road, it’s really noises
You need a five star holiday on the coast of Spain
I need five thousand voices again, and again
again, and again
Whoa ohh, whoa ohh
I wanna hear a crescendo
Crescendo [x4]
I saw you out there the other night
So much silence, it gave me a fright
You look so lost and trapped surrounded on those sides

Friday night, so let’s go less a square
But don’t let go of money on the stairs
Some black dude, he said, “Come along with me,
I think I know the type of thing you need.”
I will wait, I will get anew
I hope she comes and gets me pretty soon
Feeling hard, trying to feel so mean
I always hate these type of scenes
Friday night, so let’s go less a square
But don’t let go of money on the stairs
I saw-jumped on the second on the wall
Staring down, praise me to a song
Sorry son, you’re waiting till I’m through
Don’t pretend you don’t know what to do
I’ve seen your face in many times before
When you leave, don’t forget the door
Friday night, so let’s go less a square
But don’t let go of money on the stairs
Some black dude, he said, “Come along with me,
I think I know the type of thing you need.”
I will wait, I will get anew
I hope she comes and gets me pretty soon
Feeling hard, trying to feel so mean
