Start Jamming...
[A] When the [C#m] Kaiserschuss people called to see if we wanted to join them on tour,
we said, OK, [E] but only if we can come to [Am] Birmingham.
They said, hang on, [C#m] they're doing four dates in London,
surely that'll be more convenient for you.
We said, no, [E] Birmingham or nothing.
So here we are, living the dream in the [C#] birthplace of Lenny Henry, Katanga.
Do you [E] know what [A] I was put here [G#] down the world for?
You're looking [C#m] good at the moment, may I say.
Thank [E] you very much, I've got a new skin cream which is working wonders.
Tremendous!
[C#] Is Ricky [G#m] all right?
I think [B] he's looking better than he was.
His cheeks are a bit pink and he still looks a bit homeless.
[A] [E] I think he's OK.
[B] The girlfriend's here today so maybe she's going to look after him.
He needs [E] some care and attention, some mother's love.
A bath.
[C#] Who could you [E] tell me, [A] everyone?
[C#]
[G#] The new single [B] is called The Modern Way.
It's called The Modern Way.
Like, [E] Kaiserschuss is not the Kaiserschuss.
This apparently is a song, Modern [Bm] Way,
that was one of the first songs you wrote?
It was the [E] first song that the Kaiserschuss wrote, yeah.
Now why, on this [C#] new album, have you not had any [E] new ideas?
This is the first [A] album.
Isn't [C#m] this the second album?
Are you still on the same album?
[E] This is where you're going with it.
No, I wasn't, I thought it was a new album.
This is [C#] where you're going with it.
I wasn't going anywhere.
[G#] I assumed that you'd been [Em] going quite a while, that there was a new album.
No, no, it's the [A] same old album.
It's the same old album?
[C#] Everyone's already bought?
You're releasing another [G#] single?
Yeah, don't get me [E] started on that.
It's the last one now.
[F] It's [E] over, after this it's over.
[G#] The fourth single, [E] it's only the fourth.
Isn't it [Bm] the twentieth single?
Technically yes, but it is only the fourth.
[A] Someone said, some review said this was the sixth [B] single.
Well, in a way, it is, but [A] in another way it isn't.
It's the fourth song, sixth release.
So you've re-released two songs?
Yeah.
You're re [F#]-releasing singles [C#m] and releasing another single?
Well, I'm terribly sorry, but
[G#] Haven't enough people [A] bought this album?
Not enough, no, we want to be [C#m] massive, remember?
I think you're being greedy.
Yeah, [A] well, that's what they thought at the end, isn't it?
[C#]
I know, [E] as I've seen it, [A] I was great, [C#] and I want it.
There's no [B] point in sitting, [A] going crazy.
[G#] I know
I was [A] reading in an interview, you were describing
what you [C#m] called sexual tension between you and Nick.
[E] Yeah, but it's not true, you know.
I read about it in [G#] the interview.
I suspect it was [B] comedy-based.
You [A] know, because on your eighth interview in a day Yeah.
..you
[B] start just saying things to amuse yourself.
So it's not [A] true?
There is no sexual tension.
But if [G#] you're ever away from your girlfriend for a long time
Like in prison?
Yes, like you're in prison.
With Nick.
What have we done?
Some fraud.
[E] OK.
Diamond theft, I'd like.
OK, you've stolen some diamonds, like Liberty [C#] X did in that video once.
Yes, I liked that video.
You're now in a cell together. Together, yeah.
What goes on?
This is the point in the interview where I'd normally carry on
and now I've decided in my head,
due to experience [B] over the last year and a half,
I'm going to stop.
[A] So you're saying you would, but you [B] just don't want to say it?
I think it'd be a long time before we'd succumb.
[A] We'd what?
Succumb.
Succumb?
Yeah.
This is the world [C#] of wine
[C#m] [A]
Taking it out, [C#] sweet Caroline
[B] [A] The world is this [C#] way
This is the [B] modern world
[A] The [C#m] nookie that's available on tour.
It's nookie.
How do you avoid it?
Because you have to, [B] you've got a girlfriend.
[A] Yes, I do.
And I [Am] just avoid it.
It's [C#m] not like walking into a, you know, a [A] pillar or something.
You know that.
[G] You can't avoid sometimes [C#m] in the dark.
Walking into [B] a naked girl Yeah.
while
you're naked Yeah.
is
a lot easier to avoid.
We've [Bm] all got girlfriends, so we have to, we [C#m] just, instead of hanging out,
[E] try to pull chicks.
Mm-hmm.
Which we definitely [C#m] could.
Oh, yeah, I mean, we're definitely [C#] qualified and capable.
[E] Definitely could pull chicks.
Let's say I'm a groupie.
Yeah.
I'll be [C#m] the groupie.
Yeah.
Hi, I really want you, Ricky.
I want you, [Em] and I must have you.
[Am] I remember.
There's a room over there [C#m] with a dimmer switch, and we can have,
we can have some [E] fun.
[Am] Go on, then.
[N] That would be it.
Go on, then.
Wow.
Come on.
I was even going to tell you that I was dying.
I didn't even do that.
If you were dying, I probably wouldn't do it, though.
Where are we going?
Are we actually going somewhere?
There's a room with a dimmer switch.
Wow, okay.
Let me get my [Gm] luggage.
