Chords for SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES - INTERVIEW AUSTRALIAN TV 1983

_ Thank you for [C] coming in.
I know that you did a concert [B] last night and the night before.
It's pretty poop at this [C#m] time of the day, isn't it, to have to get up and [C] drive all that way?
I'm just going to [F#] sleep.
You're just going to go, not off.
[B] I noticed, like, when we spoke in England, [F#] I will apologise,
because it was a thing where we were doing ten interviews a day,
and we dragged you out of a recording studio, or the record company [Em] did.
Apparently you were right in the middle of [A] something.
We wanted to meet you.
Oh, it was lovely of you, thank you.
I didn't think the interview was so strong, and I think you realised,
hang on, where's this guy coming [Am] from?
So we've tried to get a little bit more involved.
[A] The Iron Curtain thing, can you [D] tell me what country you worked [Bm] behind the Iron Curtain,
and what the reaction was like?
We played in Yugoslavia, it's not [Gm] really behind the Iron Curtain, it's communist.
[G#]
Right.
And _ [E] we played in a big sort of sports [G] hall, and the whole town came to see us.
They'd never seen it.
Anything like that before?
Well, nobody anywhere has seen anything like it since the 90s. Especially Yugoslavians.
What about, like, all the countries [G] you work, you get, I've read in various reports,
different reactions from different areas.
What is the reaction like in Japan?
Apparently it's over the top. _
I [A] don't know.
_ _ [Bm] Kamikaze after the concert.
_ Right.
Yeah, they'd bombard the van and stuff, and the hotel, and things like that.
Is it [D] totally different to any other country you've worked? _
Yeah, [D] mainly because _ the [E] audience seems to be 90% [Gm] young girls for some reason.
[C] Not for us, but for bands in general.
It's a [C#m] teeny _ [G]-flavoured female thing, [F#] rather than an over [C]-all-age group.
Boys.
[C#m] How have you found Australia, _ [C]
as compared [B] to those other countries?
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ Let's talk about [G] something else. _ _ _
Alright.
[Bm] Your father was [A] a snake doctor. _
[Em] Yeah, milked snakes.
Now, he did that in a strange [A] country, not in England.
In the Belgian Congo.
And is it true that your brother and sister were born there?
My sister was.
My brother lived out there, after being born in London.
You were born in England?
[E] Mm.
[D] So, when you left school, [Bm] with a dad who was heavily [E] involved in that side of things,
[Bm]
how did you [E] get into music?
What led you into music?
[F#] _
Must have been because my dad was a snake [G] doctor.
Must have been.
But there obviously was something else that came up in your life that said,
gee, that's what I'd like to do.
Otherwise you may have ended up doing something like your dad.
[D] _
_ I wish I had.
[G] Would that have paid more money?
It would have been more interesting.
Yeah.
Alright.
I was going to talk about the guy, Robbie Smith, who is with you this [D] time,
and was with The Cure on two of their concerts here, which were both [Bm] sellouts.
We'll talk about him [E] after we have a look at a portion [Bm] of The Cure and Primary.
_ _ _ Primary by The Cure.
Now, [A] in that band is Robert Smith, who is now with you.
Can you explain, because I understand he first actually toured with you in 79, somewhere around there.
Is he with you permanently, with The [D] Cure permanently, or with both? [Bm] Nobody knows.
Nobody ever [Gm] knows?
No.
He's with all and none.
He what, sorry?
He's [D] with all of them and none of [G#] them.
So he just really is like a casual player.
He moves from band to band?
[G] Pretty casual, yeah.
Pretty casual guy.
Has he recorded with you?
Not yet.
Will he?
Yes.
When do you record next?
_ [E] We don't know.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ So, you see, I sort of walked away in London thinking, gee, it's my fault,
that I'm getting to think we both sort of just can't get anything out of each other.
Well, let's have a [E] look at_
Why not ask him about my T-shirt?
All right.
Isn't that a [Bm] lovely T-shirt?
It's the legendary Pork Helmets.
Uh-huh.
Haven't you heard of them?
No.
I thought you knew everything that happened.
No, no, I [A#] don't even intend to say that I know everything that happened.
[D] Well, it's a pork_
I'm just here to ask questions.
The pork who?
[Dm] Helmets.
And where do they come [A#] from?
They come [C] from the back of our bus.
_ They're in the back of your bus.
Pigs in space.
Slow dive, we're [C] taking here, this is by Sissy and the [B] Banshees, off their latest album.
Let's have a look at the clip.
_ _ [G] And I now realise, and we might level this out so everyone at home understands,
it's just the thing that you don't [G#] like to talk about music outside [G] of_
I just don't like to talk.
Yeah.
_ And you're about the same, Steve.
[F#] I love to talk.
Do you?
Yeah.
[G] What's your favourite subject?
History.
_ History.
Geography.
_ [E] _
Captain [Bm] Cook.
_ [G#] We'll see you at the same time, same [B] station [D] next week.
Until then, it's been nice [G] having you.
Bye bye and thank you for being with [E] us.
Good luck in Melbourne, good [G] luck when you come back to Sydney.
Thank you for listening to The Silence.
Yeah, that's [D] OK.
The Sounds of Silence, always nice.
[G] A little bit of a drag now.
Let's have [E] a_
just pause for one minute of silence here with [A] Sissy and the Banshees.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] [G] Again, thank you very much for being with us.
Thanks Stevie, thanks Sissy.
Good luck in the last two days.
