You said a little while ago that you sing mainly about drugs, is that right?
[E] Sometimes.
Why do you do this?
Because I think the government's plotting against me.
Why do you say that?
[Em] You like singing about drugs, is this because you like taking drugs yourself?
[F] No, some
because I can't carry when I go through customs, I figure somebody in the audience
Were you searched by our customs men for drugs?
Oh no, because I don't take [G] them.
No drugs at all?
Uh-uh.
And yet you sing about them.
I'm high [F#] on life.
You want people to take drugs themselves, is this perhaps why you sing about drugs?
Oh yeah, I want them to take drugs.
Why is this?
Because it's better than Monopoly.
Why do you think your music is so popular though?
I didn't know it was popular.
You've got two sellouts in Sydney before you've even come here, so it is popular apparently.
I didn't know that.
[G#m] Do you think [N] it's a decadent society we're living in?
No.
Would you describe yourself as a decadent person?
No.
How would you describe yourself?
Average.
It said in your release that we were given this morning that you like lying to the press.
Why is this and are you doing it now?
I didn't say that, the release did.
Would it be right to call your music gutter rock?
Gutter rock?
Gutter rock.
Oh yeah.
You sing a lot about transvestites and sadomasochism.
How would you describe yourself in the light of these songs?
What does that have to do with me?
Could I put it bluntly and pardon the question, are you a transvestite or a homosexual?
Sometimes.
Which one?
I don't know, what's the difference?
What do you like most in life?
Everything.
Is there anything you like better than others?
No.
Where do you spend your money?
On drugs.
Other people?
Right.
It's been said that in your early days you were quite a wild performer.
Is it true for instance that you attacked your fans in England and were arrested for obscenity on stage?
No.
This is again false publicity.
Who writes these things about you if they're not true?
Journalists.
[E] And
