Chords for Girls meet Lawrence - part 3

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] I don't really know if we're popular or what, because I don't go on the internet, so I don't
really understand how many fans are out there really.
I've kind of cut myself off from that. _
_ Have you [E] got a web page?
Yeah, we do.
Do [E] you speak to [N] your fans?
We used to, but now it's just kind of too difficult. Too complicated?
Because they all think they're your friends?
Yeah.
The questions are generally like, come play a show at my house, you know, like things
that you just can't even get put together.
Can I have your reference, please?
Yeah, how do I get your t-shirt?
[G#] I don't know.
_ That's what happens.
They [A] become your friends [N] and _ you end up giving all the records away.
_ Yeah.
Or they expect them for nothing.
_ _ _ I say never make friends with fans.
[D#] _ _
Burt [D] Lancaster wouldn't sign [F#] autographs. _ _
That's what I just heard.
_ _ [G] But for him, he's like a really famous Hollywood actor, to [E] actually go around and get a no
to everyone [N] is quite a big deal.
Yeah.
Because I tried it, but it's too difficult.
[A#] Yeah.
I always [A] sign.
I just sign anything now.
_ _ But I used to go, no, why do you want my autograph?
[C#m] I'm not really famous.
But then you get [Bm] into a whole great big discussion.
_ _ _ I'm listening to [G] the _ song. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ I've got a good pen, actually. Here's mine.
_ _ [D] Declaration. _
[G] One of my favorites.
Funny [N] recording, isn't it?
Something went wrong.
The vocals are really low.
The engineer put his son on the desk and went off.
And his son was this young kid.
And that's what happened.
[C#] _ You just [E] have a constant problem [D#] with working in studios.
It's just a battle. It's ridiculous.
I mean, that Declaration, it sounds like it was [N] recorded _ _ _ _ underground in a submarine.
But the lyrics are so strong, it doesn't matter.
I know, it doesn't matter.
That's why we left it.
It's like, oh, well, it's all right.
Yeah.
She Lives by the [F#] Castle, too.
Another one of my favorites.
I know.
It's a great_
We wanted to [C#] record it with John Rivers, the same guy that we'd done the previous album.
_ [D#] And McGee said, you've got to use this guy, Mero Thompson, who was in [F#] Red Coyola.
He's a great [D] guy.
He's on SACADELLA at American Bank.
_ [Dm] So we had to [D#] use him, and he was terrible.
[B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] I think you have [D] one music video on YouTube.
[E] _ Well, we never made a video. _
[F#m] It's you.
[N] You're wearing a big hat.
Yeah, we made half a video.
Maybe somebody's turned it into a video. They did.
We made [F#] half a video for Primitive Painters.
_ But Cherry Red was supposed to pay for [D#] half of it.
And Alan McGee, Creation, was supposed to pay the other half.
[N] They had a big row.
McGee went, I'm not giving you any money.
So it was left unfinished, half [G] finished, [F#] in the can.
[D#] And then somehow it got [E] resurrected without my knowledge.
_ [G] _ So that's not a finished video.
There's like one live performance floating around, too.
Yeah. _
[F#] _ Because we were only filmed once. _ _
_ _ [E] If you want it to [N] be underground and not known,
then that's what we achieved. _ _
[F#] But we didn't want to be.
We wanted to be a really big [Gm] stage.
_ [F]
And we wanted to be on the telly all the time, on the TV.
Maybe that can work in [Am] your favor later.
I think [A] that's what will happen.
But we didn't intend it to be like that.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C#] I know you love Polnareff.
_ Yeah.
[F#] You can watch whole [B] Polnareff concerts.
_ [G] It will be like cutting the song by song.
If you just start following the thread, you can find all kinds of stuff.
Wow.
[D] _ It's really cool.
There's one [A] of him doing Holiday live.
I love Holiday. It's amazing.
Do you [A#] know that song?
Yeah, I love that song.
I think that's [D#] my favorite song.
His voice sounds like an angel on that song.
And he's all done up.
He has the sunglasses.
And he's just like Holiday.
It's just amazing.
I love that song.
He flips the guitar.
[G#m] He's playing.
And then on one of the drum solos, he takes the guitar
and he spins it around in his hand.
He's like, wow.
And then catches it again [A#m] and starts playing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[A#] That's funny because [F#] I never mention that song to anyone.
No one's heard that song.
Do you know Holiday? Yeah, yeah.
Well, you have to find it for yourself.
But that one just stuck out a lot.
Yeah, I know.
And Love Me, Please Love Me [G] on the piano is amazing. _
I love that.
[A] He reminds me of Kurt Cobain when he's sitting on the steps with that little [D] guitar.
And he's got the big [D#] glasses on.
He's got blonde hair.
[F#] That's when I first got into him.
I [E] saw a picture of that single.
[N] It was an EP.
And I thought, God, ain't it like Kurt Cobain?
That's how I got into him, actually.
I remember that.
He's got those black pumps on with yellow laces.
A bit like that, actually.
And he's got great big white glasses.
And he's sitting on the steps of somewhere in Paris.
You've got the shoes.
Oh, yeah.
Those are similar, aren't they? Similar.
These are more like Kurt's.
Do you wear those?
These are like Kurt.
Yeah, [G#m] those are like Kurt Cobain's, aren't they?
[A] Do you wear those on stage? No.
Not on stage.
Just like _ [Am] before the show.
To fend off [E] _ _ people. _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ We [G#m] didn't know that was a poster for the Year of Chelsea Girls in [A] England done by Alan Aldridge.
[C#] We didn't know that.
We just ripped it out of a [G] library book.
We didn't know for [E] years.
I actually didn't know either.
We just played Bill and he had a Chelsea Girls poster.
I know.
And me and the guitarist, we were like, [N] _ oh, yeah, there's a belt poster.
And then we walked over and looked at it.
I mean, when we ripped it out, it said Chelsea Girls on it.
But we thought, well, that's not the Warhol.
No, it's not.
It's the Warhol, but it isn't.
But it was actually an advert for the English premiere of the film.
So it kind of foxed us for many years.
Did you hear about it at all?
Nobody ever.
No.
It's such an underground thing, I suppose.
I keep waiting to hear from you.
[Gm] You're calling our song Lust for Life.
I know.
I [G#] don't think.
He's named [F] it after the film anyway.
There was a film with Kirk Douglas [F#] about Vincent van Gogh.
And it's called Lust for Life.
And that's [C#m] where he got the title from.
He would have loved [N] that film.
_ _ _ It's a really great advert, actually.
It's really weird.
I feel really great for Iggy Pop, too.
I would do an advert.
[F#m] That's probably [A] what's going to happen to me.
I'm probably going to end up making money out of something stupid like an advert. _
[A#] I reckon that's [E] what will happen.
Get your own line of hats or something.
Yeah.
_ Something completely divorced from what I'm good at.
[G#m] That's what will happen.
Because Iggy Pop's great in that [C#m] advert.
I think he's done well.
Because he actually did a science fiction alien film where he's [E] terrible.
He's all dressed up as a monster.
That's when I felt really sorry for him. _
