_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] Go sit [A] down somewhere.
_ [Em] _
[N] I like the way you look.
You've got a good rock and roll style look.
Thank you.
You're not too bad yourself.
But don't you want that in your rock style?
You want them to look a little bit nuts.
_ In a great way.
You know, glamorous and slightly confusing.
It's a great look.
I was just listening to what you were saying before and I wonder what am I then?
You know, sort of like a transvestite.
I'm definitely not a drag queen. _
I'd just say you're an exhibitionist.
Fair enough.
Quite attractive.
_ I get _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ it where it's going now.
I'm sober.
_ _ He is though, isn't he?
Nice to see you've conquered the inhibitions.
_ [C] No flies on me.
I'm never the last one home with nothing on me arm, I tell you.
_ We met before, Brian.
Do you remember this?
Years ago.
Yeah, we did.
We met before.
It was some kind of a big music award show.
And I was hosting that evening.
And there was a problem.
They weren't letting you in for some reason.
They weren't letting me in.
No, I had to present an award and they wouldn't let me in.
And I was with quite a famous DJ.
And it was just, your name's not on, you're not getting in, you know, kind of thing.
You sauntered over and went, you've got to let [F] him in.
He's presenting an award.
Yeah, you know what?
I thought you were in the Manic Street Preachers.
I made a mistake.
No, I was confused.
I'm glad now.
I knew as soon as you came in I'd got confused.
But that's what I thought.
I thought you were the one who went missing.
_ I'm still here.
And I thought, we found Richie.
It's always the last [Em] place you look.
_ [C] _ _
But I was delighted after, because I do like your stuff a lot.
Thanks.
Because I like, it's got that kind of glam feel to it and it's rock and roll.
But it's of the moment, but it's got those sort of echoes as well, isn't it?
Sure, you know, it's got history.
All music does.
Are you, where are you from originally?
A complicated story.
My mother's Scottish.
My father was originally French and Italian.
They met in America, became American citizens.
And by the time that they had me, by the time the condom broke,
I was, they were in Europe, [G] so I was born in Belgium.
Born in [Abm] Belgium?
Yeah, and I've lived in [Gb] the Middle East.
So it's a great story [G] with a tragic ending.
Thanks for being born in Belgium. _
[N] _ Now, Placebo is doing very well at the moment.
The single's doing very well, I believe.
The album, I'm sure, will do well.
It's only just come out.
But you played a while ago for David Bowie, didn't you, at his birthday party?
Yeah, yeah, your friend David, who I saw on your show.
My very close friend, David.
Yeah, we played his 50th birthday party. _ _
Davey, Davey, or the D, as I call him when he calls me.
DB.
DB's on the phone for you.
Not now, I'm busy.
_ I have this with Elton and Nina Simone.
Not the same.
No, no, okay.
_ So, Brian, you played for Bowie's birthday party?
Yeah, his 50th birthday party at Madison Square Garden, which is quite, you know, we'd only just made one album,
and we just went, like, a band of our, you know, with one record, shouldn't really be playing here, but we are.
Fabulous, yeah.
Now, what song are you going to do for this evening from the album you're doing?
Is it The Bitter End?
The Bitter End, our first single.
That's the single.
It's great.
Are you ready to play?
I'm ready.
Let's hear it.
I'm going to thank all of my guests before Brian and the band play.
Of course, Paula Grady, who was terrific this evening.
Duma Keekin and Lucy Benjamin, let's hear it for all of them.
They were all great guests tonight.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ Brian, if you'd like to go and get yourself ready. _
It does start, thank you.
Come over here. _ _ _
Next week, I'll be joined by the real star of The Office, Martin Freeman, the fabulous Joe Brand.
We have music from a local, and we've got the legendary Yoko Ono here on the show.
But now, performing The Bitter End, it is Placebo.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Since we're feeling so _
_ [Db] anesthetized
[B] _ In our comfort zone
_ _ _ Reminds me of the second [Db] time
_ [B] _ _ That [Abm] I [Eb] followed you [Ebm] home
_ We're running out of _ [Db] alibis
_ _ [B] _ [E] On the second [Eb] of [Ebm] May _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ On this _ [Ebm] winter's day
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ Do you want the [Ebm] bitter end?
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ Do you [Abm] want the bitter [Ebm] end?
_ _ Every step you take that _ [B] synchronized
_ _ Every broken [Eb] [Ebm] bone
_ _ Reminds me of the second [B] time
_ _ _ _ That I followed [Eb] you home
_ You showered me with [B] lullabies
_ _ _ _ As you're walking [Ebm] away _ _ _ _
On this winter's [B] day
_ _ _ On this [Ebm] placebo
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] See [Ab] you on the bitter [Ebm] end
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [C] See you [Abm] on the bitter [Ebm] end
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ See [Abm] you on the bitter [Ebm] end
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ See [Abm] you on [Eb] the bitter end
Every night, every second
Feels like [B] suicide
Like it's dying on inside
I _ [Eb] think it's my _ _ _ _ _ own headache
[B] I ain't right
You _ [Eb] took the easy seats inside
I ain't falling when you're lying
I [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ ain't falling when you're lying _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
