football mother believe
There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of myself.
believe black-and-white desire
I believe very strongly that when it comes to desire, when it comes to attraction, that things are never black and white, things are very much shades of grey.
real believe giving
Interviewer: [What do you get up to] In real time? Brian Molko: I go on Placebo sites and have a terrible time trying to convince fans it's actually me. No one ever believes it. I've spent about four hours, giving away intimate details about myself that I'd never tell a journalist, in an effort to prove that it's me.
hate believe people
I believe people are still wonderful in hating. They hate what they don't understand, they hate each other. No matter what anyone says, this world is still not a bit more tolerante than it was before.
america challenged liked manson mores
The thing about Manson I've always liked is that he's challenged the mores of America,
bleed cutting eating frequently grips humble letting love open point seem songs trying vein view
Most of these are love songs where I'm trying to come to grips with relationships. They're frequently told from the point of view of ex-lovers, so at first it may seem like I'm being arrogant, but actually I'm eating humble pie. I'm cutting open a vein and letting it bleed for you.
cause clothes kinda wear
Cause they kinda wanted me to be a boy, but I didn't want to wear any mens clothes.
alienated bored felt lonely
I was a very frustrated, lonely and anti-social young man. I felt very alienated and very bored as well.
sex thinking missing
What's missing is the music. I'd like to rant on and on about the music, the mechanics of it. It's what I think about 90 per cent of the day. I don't think about getting high all the time. I guess I do think about sex a lot, though...
way attractive found
I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.
two taste rubbish
I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.
desire songwriting
A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!
change tired confusing
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.
thinking people facts
I like the fact that people either think I'm incredibly gorgeous or flippin ugly.
