Chords for Brian Molko from Placebo - Graham Norton Show

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
to introduce my second guest.
Ladies and gentlemen, [Bm] it is _ Placebo's Brian Mullen!
_ [Bb] _ It's my man!
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's _ _ [Bb] my _ _ _ man!
Hello, [N] hello, hello, hi!
How are you?
Good, thank you.
So look, take some photos, take some photos.
Brian Kyle, Kyle Bryan.
Nice to meet you.
Big fan since Blue Velvet.
Oh, very nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.
I noticed that in the, I mean, he's not just saying that,
in the cuttings, that he's your favourite film ever, Blue Velvet.
Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
It's up there, it's up there in the top five.
Oh, thank you.
David Lynch is a brilliant film.
Yeah, and you got your butt out in that one as well.
I did.
Yeah. _
You remember.
Every ten years.
_ Tick it off.
Yeah, Kyle's butt.
Seen it.
1980, yeah.
And another congratulations to you.
New single, _ where be it?
Here we go, This Picture.
_ Is that out now?
It's out in a week, yeah.
In a week.
16th, yeah.
In a week.
And that's off your new album, Sleeping With Goats.
Now what is the story?
Is it dedicated to James Dean, the single?
Well, James Dean was kind of like the initial inspiration for this idea of kind of cigarettes
being stubbed out on your chest, you know, kind of thing, because it's, I don't know
if it's well known, but he used to enjoy having cigarettes stubbed out on his chest by his
gay lovers, basically.
And it was an image that sort of always stayed in my head.
I can imagine.
And then one day, _ [Fm] one day it just fit into the song, you know, the song's about self-destructive
relationships and stuff, so it just kind of seemed a perfect metaphor to kind of bring
that across, you [G] know.
Now, what was, the other thing I read, sorry, this is all kind of just, maybe this all just
came from one interview, I don't know, but you have one particular kind of sexual fantasy.
_ Only one.
Apparently more.
More.
The one I read about was, I mean, it was _ fair, it was all fairly straight, it was kind of
an orgy, kind of a multi-gender orgy, but you wanted everyone to be famous in the multi-gender world.
Well, that would make it more fun, don't you [Ab] think?
Well, you'd know everyone's name.
And then you'd have like real serious blackmail material, you know, on everybody, you know,
you could get away with everything, you know, in the media from then onwards.
Have you done the celebrity shag?
The celebrity shag? _ _ _
Minor.
_ Minor.
_ _ [G] I'm being a soul of discretion here.
Soap?
No. _
No.
_ TV presenter?
No. _ _
Not a very famous actor?
_ _ _ Er_
_ _ _ _ Not a very famous actor.
[Ab] _ Actually quite famous, but no.
Oh, really?
No. _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
Next question.
There's a lawyer out there throwing himself against the wall.
Stop it!
Don't ask anymore! _
_ The other thing, because I have a bit of a present for you.
You collect guitars, don't you?
Well, yeah, I mean, I love guitars.
I've got about like ten of them, you know.
They're all female apart from one which is gay.
_ [G] And they all have names, you know.
And they're all older than me, which is very important, you know.
I like older guitars.
Ah!
I'm hearing you. _ _ _
What sort of names have you got?
What's your favourite guitar?
Well, my favourite guitar, my original guitar, I call my bitch, you know, basically.
It's got like a little sticker that says bitch on it, you know.
And that's kind of like my [F] classic guitar, you know, kind of thing.
[N] You know, one's called Auntie, the other one's called Snow White, you know.
And the gay one's called Bertie. _ _
Bertie?
Bertie, yeah.
How did you know that was a gay guitar?
Well, it's pink.
Ah!
_ _ That's why it's a pink.
That's a pink.
Back to Phil.
Back to Phil.
Very good.
Very good.
You seem like you're like, very good.
_ _ _ You may not want this, but it's _ here if you do.
Okay.
But the man who made it is very, very proud of it.
And apparently it's like really, really, really expensive.
Oh my goodness gracious.
It is a proper, it's a proper, what is it?
It's called Jam and Jams and it's a proper beautiful guitar, but they've turned it into a toilet seat. _ _ _
_ _ _ That is fantastic.
Do you like that?
Yes, yes.
Really?
Yeah.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I love it.
You won't just leave it here, you'll take it home?
No, I will take that home and I'll have it installed.
Oh, really?
Yes, absolutely. _
It's almost as much of a rock and roll cliche as having a sort of a guitar-shaped swimming pool, you know.
Or a posh and best having _ matching toilets, you know, kind of thing, next to each other.
So I think that's a beautiful piece of kitsch.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
I can't tell you how long this has been in the office for.
And we kept thinking, _ _ who can we give this to?
But no, we paid for it and everything and look, it's still quite shiny despite the handwriting.
Yeah.
Have they been used?
No, well not on a toilet.
Okay, good.
But no, that's yours, that's yours for the safety.
I would love that, yeah.
Thank you so much.
Rock and roll! _ _ _
_ Look, waving a toilet seat. _ _ _
How, how tragic is that?
Now, the idea that your [G] performances are, I mean even actually just in soundchecking this afternoon,
you were really kind of, well, sorry, you were really going for it.
And I was like, are you trying to kind of _ turn people in the crowd on when you are performing?
It does feel very, very sexual performance, you know.
And it just kind of, you're letting a lot of demons out, but at the same time you're kind of,
you're enjoying, you know, the fact that you're kind of on stage and kind of showing off and being an exhibitionist,
you [Fm] know, sort of thing, so that _ you're conscious of the kind of, of the power that you [N] have, you know.
And you can get the occasional chubby. _
Really?
_ _ _ See, it took me a while to get, I was thinking, what, fat people in the audience? _ _ _ _
_ _ Sorry, I'm sick of eyes. _
Thicker now.
But _ _ _ now, because we were thinking about this whole idea of music turning people on.
And we found this thing.
It's very straightforward.
Apparently the idea is you wear it out to a disco or something.
And the lovely lady puts it on.
And see, it's even like a little butterfly.
Oh, the butterfly thing. Yeah.
So you put this on.
Actually, you probably face it that way.
I think the little butterfly is facing in.
And you pop that in your pants, right?
And then it comes with this end of it, which is a sort of little speaker thing, right?
And you turn that on.
Hold that for a second.
Okay.
So, hello.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
_ _ That's fantastic.
It's good, isn't it?
So.
Voice activated vibration.
I know.
We should give one of these to everybody in the audience.
Well, what we're going to do is we're going to turn it on.
_ _ We're going to _ turn it on.
The louder you clap, the harder it vibrates. _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, now, look at it.
If I give you, oh God, oh, ow, ow, ow.
If I give you that end of it.
Okay.
So, you can give someone a treat in a minute.
But let me just go and put it on someone.
And we'll see if it works.
Hang on. _
Sorry, I don't know how much.
I've got quite a lot of wire.
Obviously, it doesn't come.
Testing, testing.
Oh, ow, ow.
It's still working.
Still working.
Do it again.
Do it again.
Testing.
Oh, it is.
It is working.
Hang on.
Here we go.
Here we go.
All right.
Quick, quick, quick.
Sorry, I'm just dragging all this shit over here.
Hang on.
Okay.
Any lady want to go?
Would you like to go?
Yeah, you want to go?
Okay.
All right.
_ Hang on.
_ It's all a bit tangled up.
Hang on.
Just, oh, try and get into that.
Just, I think just step in there. _
Lovely.
What's your name, by the way?
Vicky.
This is Vicky.
This is Vicky.
All right, Vicky.
All right.
There you go.
Okay.
Testing, testing.
Okay. _
Sorry, here comes, here comes Vicky.
Okay, start singing. Gotcha.
_ _ _ Sing it.
Sing a little bit.
It's working.
Okay, I'll do a bit of a, I'll do a bit of Nancy voice.
This is quite appropriate.
Okay.
Okay.
_ And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal.
Got the muse in my hand.
She's universal.
Spinning me around.
She's coming out of me. _
_ _ _ I love you all. _
_ _ Well done, Vicky.
Very good. _ _
_ Uh _ _ _ _ _ -oh.
All _ right. _
_ All right.
How you doing? _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ What's she doing? _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
Now, now you're, now you're just pulling it.
I don't, we'll leave it on.
We'll leave it on.
So, when, when, when placebo play in a second, you can really enjoy the whole performance.
_ All right.
Because, Brian, you are going to perform for us now.
Yes, we are.
So, if you want to go and get ready, they're over there.
Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Goldcoe!
Thank you so much.
Brian, good to have you here.
You too.
Good night. _
