I Have To Be Able To See

The Society Of Whores Stuck Needles In An Image Of Me.

I Was About 12 Years Old And I Was Sitting Watching The Television And It Was Some Kind Of Talent Show, You Know, And On Marches This Monkey, This Ape, In A Pair Of Red-checked Trousers With A Little Matching Jacket Holding A Ukelele And It Started Jigging Around Playing It, And It Was Looking Straight Into The Camera, Straight At Me, And I Remember Thinking, That's It, That'll Be Me, You Know, That'll Be Me.

Cynicism And Defensiveness Are Two Things Constantly Levelled At Me. Look, I've Got Time For People, I'm Good Mannered. I Usually Find That When You're Down, Nobody Has A Bloody Minute For You. If I Was A Nobody, You Wouldn't Even Talk To Me. People, In General, Don't Like You Being Upfront And Civil. They Hate You For It. They Label You A Cynic 'cos You're Reasonable.

I Don't Really Do Japanese Interviews. I Don't Think There's Much Call For Me In Japan.

But If You're Gonna Dine With Them Cannibals Sooner Or Later, Darling, You're Gonna Get Eaten . . .
