Chords for Perfume Genius & Aldous Harding discuss "No Front Teeth"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We went on tour together.
We went on a small Australian tour.
Yeah, I
_ _ Don't know how it happened though.
I feel like I like your record your music and asked you if you wanted to come Yeah, I _
heard
Too bright and was like what is this?
And flipped it over and then it said produced by John Parrish and your record was actually one of the reasons why I ended up
Working with them because it just [N] sounded so _
Beautiful.
Yeah, he's amazing, but I don't remember _
What I was like then I think I was drinking a lot and I don't really have a lot of memory of it
Do you I had quit smoking? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Remember it yeah
_ _ You singing I remember us playing shows.
I remember us talking
I'm it's more like impressionistic.
I don't really remember anything
Yeah, I just remember the the energy.
Yeah the whole thing
I remember us yelling at you about certain songs you're playing that you have to like Request yeah
Like you have to put that on the next record and stuff like that cuz me and Alan loved it so much
I mean you're on my mind
Mm-hmm quite a lot of fans of each other and you're on my mind a lot.
And so I guess we work that way too spiritually _ _ _
I _ _ kind of write in gibberish
But then there'll be one or two lines that are not
That I keep no front teeth was
Inside of the gibberish was the only like clear words and the song
ended up being about
relapsing doing _
everything you're not supposed to but having that be
Your default mode like you're you know
actually your [Abm] instincts are to like sabotage and destruct and go out and be fucked and derange and that you know that that's like
Gonna ruin everything but it also feels
[D] _
Really familiar and like who you are
You know, I mean like it just feels like
Normal.
_ _ Yeah, like I've been sober for a long time.
And I remember when I first got sober I when I got over the
_ _ Like
Cravings or whatever what I did want was to be bad.
[N] I would just be like in my house
I just wanna do something bad
_ _ Yeah, when I was singing I just heard her voice so clearly in it while I was singing it the chorus
_ Like immediately so I've just lived as a pig for so long being well feels
_ _ _ _ Like it's I'm kind of torture, you know, yeah, you're used to having nobody count on you or
Don't think that you you know meant to live past 30 or whatever and then you
Suddenly the world's your oyster and you
_ _ _ Don't like _
Shellfish, you know
_ _ That wild _
_ No, it's like very singular to that's what I miss about it
Like simple weirdly even though people would probably think it's very chaotic or something.
There's something very clear about it
To me and not like there aren't a million tools for me to like a live
_ Well without doing that, but it feels like a full-time job for a long time.
It feels [Ab] like living against your instincts, basically
24-7 still feels like that.
Honestly, I
_ _ _ feel like
[Eb] _ Fear is such a big part of what why I move in any direction and when you get rid [B] of _
When you get rid of the threats
Or your things are going too.
Well, you sort of stop.
Well, you're worried that you'll stop or stop breathing.
Mm-hmm
well, like you know what I mean metaphorically you'll stop kind of _ _
Yeah, but I went on a mood stabilizer and for a week
I had no anxiety and I was like, I was like disassociating.
I like I didn't know who I was without it
Yeah, like it literally feels like a pilots every single _ thing.
Yeah, so if I like I don't know how to
Why would I do anything if I'm not? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
What was strange was I don't want to out your I don't tell the story what [C] is it?
I don't even know what the story is.
No.
Well when I got the [N] stems _ _
_ _ They still had your babies on them.
Mm-hmm.
So I had to sing.
Yeah over the top of your baby
_ which was _ _ _ _ _ _
Easy
_ But I didn't want it to be I didn't want you there.
You didn't want me there.
I didn't want those vocals.
Oh, yeah
Yeah, well, it sounds amazing though.
Yeah, it sounds exactly like how I
Hope you want.
Yeah, I just let go
_ I closed my eyes and I just
_ Let it all go _ _ _ _ _ _
it could either be
[Eb] Fully unhinged and demented or very like
_ I'm a freak
Pretending to be a normal person
Pretending to be a freak, you know, and then I think that I don't know what's gonna happen when we try to add another kind
I don't know what Aldous Harding will look like acting.
I don't know who's in charge of today
_ I don't think there's a wrong way to do it _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
