99. Have you noticedCopy !req
100. When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervousCopy !req
101. Well, my starship doesn't want meCopy !req
102. And neither does his worldCopy !req
103. I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailorCopy !req
104. It appears today's youngstersCopy !req
105. You're the grand oneCopy !req
106. have fashioned a whole new bentCopy !req
107. on the so-called sexual liberation of the flower-power set.Copy !req
108. 'Cause this wooing is what I'm wantingCopy !req
109. The long hair and the love-beadsCopy !req
110. have given way to glitter make-up, platform shoesCopy !req
111. and a whole new taste for glamour, nostalgiaCopy !req
112. When my spacesuit comes to warm meCopy !req

114. Is London not shocked?Copy !req
115. And hold me like a godCopy !req
116. London is improving.Copy !req
117. Well, I think it's a disgrace.Copy !req
118. I am the captain of the gravity, MaxwellCopy !req
119. Parading around all ponced-upCopy !req
120. like a pack of bleeding woofters.Copy !req
121. Bloody hell! What will they think of next?Copy !req
122. Everywhere I see your facesCopy !req
123. Hot oneCopy !req
124. And heading up this flash stampedeCopy !req
125. is none other that pop-giant Brian SladeCopy !req
126. From a starship over Venus to the SunCopy !req
127. whose stylish escapades have paved the wayCopy !req
128. for a whole new breed of performing artists,Copy !req
129. But it's a crimeCopy !req
130. You're mistakenCopy !req
131. from Curt Wild and The Flaming CreaturesCopy !req
132. Momentary seizure of love, oh loveCopy !req
133. to Jack Fairy and Polly Small.Copy !req
134. Thanks to Slade,Copy !req
135. today's youngsters are singing a whole new tune.Copy !req
136. So, you're saying you're bisexual?Copy !req
137. Yeah. I like boys, I like girls.Copy !req
138. They are all great. No difference, is there?Copy !req
139. Mr. BBCCopy !req
140. Rock music has always been a reaction to accepted standards.Copy !req
141. And homosexuality has been going on for centuries, yeah.Copy !req
142. But darling, I'm a messCopy !req
143. At the moment, having a gay image is an 'in' thing.Copy !req
144. I've got human minds we can formCopy !req
145. You know, just like a few years agoCopy !req
146. But the boys are not impressedCopy !req
147. it was trendy to wearCopy !req
148. a long grey coatCopy !req
149. When my spacesuit comes to warm meCopy !req
150. with a Led Zeppelin record under your arm.Copy !req
151. Everyone is into this scene,Copy !req
152. because it is supposedly the thing to do right now.Copy !req
153. I'll be the captain of the gravity, MaxwellCopy !req
154. But you just can't fake being gay, you know.Copy !req
155. If you're gonna claim that you're gay,Copy !req
156. you're gonna have to make love in gay-styleCopy !req
157. I see your faces in the strangest placesCopy !req
158. most of these kids just aren't gonna make it.Copy !req
159. Hot oneCopy !req
160. That line - 'Everyone's bisexual'Copy !req
161. it's a very popular thing to say right now.Copy !req
162. But personally I think it's meaningless.Copy !req
163. But it's a crimeCopy !req
164. You're mistakenCopy !req
165. Momentary seizure of loveCopy !req
166. Oh loveCopy !req
167. I knew I should create a sensation,Copy !req
168. gasped the Rocket.Copy !req
169. And he went out.Copy !req
170. Ok, Lionel. That's it. Thanks.Copy !req
171. I don't get it.Copy !req
172. What don't you get?Copy !req
173. It was a stunt.Copy !req
174. The guy faked his own murder.Copy !req
175. Yeah, but why?Copy !req
176. Publicity.Copy !req
177. Arthur, any recollection?Copy !req
178. Of what?Copy !req
179. Of this Slade fellow.Copy !req
180. Well, he's an early 70sCopy !req
181. glam-rock singer.Copy !req
182. Told you we could count onCopy !req
183. Mr. Old Time Rock'n'Roll.Copy !req
184. Yeah.Copy !req
185. Count on me for what?Copy !req
186. I thought I was on the Reynolds' trip.Copy !req
187. Well you are.Copy !req
188. But the president isn't due until the 8th.Copy !req
189. And I need a piece for the weekend now.Copy !req
190. Great.Copy !req
191. Look.Copy !req
192. Next week is the 10th year anniversaryCopy !req
193. of the whole shooting stunt incident.Copy !req
194. I'd like you to find out what happened,Copy !req
195. where he is today.Copy !req
196. What ever happened to Brian Slade?Copy !req
197. Ok?Copy !req
198. Yeah, and naturally you want me for this,Copy !req
199. because I'm the resident Brit. Right?Copy !req
200. Nah. No, no, no.Copy !req
201. I want you, because you remember.Copy !req
202. President Reynolds is urging young people everywhereCopy !req
203. to sign up in their local government officesCopy !req
204. and join the committee...Copy !req
205. Because I remember.Copy !req
206. Suddenly I was being paid to remember all the thingsCopy !req
207. that money, the future and the serious lifeCopy !req
208. had made so certain I'd forget.Copy !req
209. And for what?Copy !req
210. Some meaningless prank, a decade old.Copy !req
211. Why was is suddenly up to me to figure it out?Copy !req
212. Clearly there was something.Copy !req
213. Something from the past,Copy !req
214. spooking me back.Copy !req
215. I didn't realise at the time...Copy !req
216. It was you.Copy !req
217. Thank you "Trans-Electric" and "CRA"Copy !req
218. Micro Atlanta and "Dupree" for their generous support.Copy !req
219. Thanks to president Reynolds' Committee for Cultural RenewalCopy !req
220. for making this brodcast possible.Copy !req
221. And thanks to you,Copy !req
222. three billion viewersCopy !req
223. tuning in right now on global satellite.Copy !req
224. Yesterday upon the stair,Copy !req
225. I saw a man who wasn't there.Copy !req
226. He wasn't there again today.Copy !req
227. How I wish he'd go away.Copy !req
228. Ten years.Copy !req
229. Ten years and the world had changed so completelyCopy !req
230. that the life I'd led in EnglandCopy !req
231. seemed like someone else's life.Copy !req
232. Someone else's story.Copy !req
233. Anyone's but mine.Copy !req
234. There were times, when it appeared to Dorian GrayCopy !req
235. that the whole of history was merely a record of his own life.Copy !req
236. Not as he had lived it in act and circumstanceCopy !req
237. but as his imagination had created it for himCopy !req
238. as it had been in his brain and in his passions.Copy !req
239. He felt that he had known them all.Copy !req
240. Those strange terrible figuresCopy !req
241. that had passed along the stage of lifeCopy !req
242. and made sin so marvelousCopy !req
243. and evil so full of subtlety.Copy !req
244. It seemed that in some mysterious wayCopy !req
245. their lives had been his own.Copy !req
246. I won't laugh at youCopy !req
247. When you boo hoo hooCopy !req
248. Coz I luv youCopy !req

253. Don't you change the things you doCopy !req
254. You get me in a spotCopy !req
255. That's all the smile you gotCopy !req
256. When I luv youCopy !req
257. You make me out of cloudCopy !req
258. And you put me downCopy !req
259. I still luv youCopy !req
260. Can you lend me a couple of quid? I've got money at home.Copy !req
261. You must be mental.Copy !req
262. Oh please, I swear I've got it.Copy !req
263. Piss off!Copy !req
264. Thanks!Copy !req
265. - What's it for? - Nothing.Copy !req
266. Give it here then. Let's have a look.Copy !req
267. Bloody Nora!Copy !req
268. Our kid's one of them pansy rockers.Copy !req
269. - He's a fucking puff, that one. - No, he's not.Copy !req
270. That's naff.Copy !req
271. That's naff.Copy !req
272. You're disgusting.Copy !req
273. You know that?Copy !req
274. Well, you're the grand oneCopy !req
275. Have you noticedCopy !req
276. When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervousCopy !req
277. Well, my starship doesn't want meCopy !req
278. And neither does his worldCopy !req
279. I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailorCopy !req
280. You're the grand oneCopy !req
281. Come and court meCopy !req
282. 'Cause this wooing is what I'm wantingCopy !req
283. When my spacesuit comes to warm meCopy !req
284. And hold me like a godCopy !req
285. I'm just going out for a bit.Copy !req
286. I am the captain of the gravity, MaxwellCopy !req
287. Everywhere I see your facesCopy !req
288. Hot oneCopy !req
289. From a starship over Venus to the SunCopy !req
290. But it's a crimeCopy !req
291. You're mistakenCopy !req
292. Momentary seizure of loveCopy !req
293. Oh loveCopy !req
294. Well, you're the grand oneCopy !req
295. Have you noticedCopy !req
296. Today in London officials confirmedCopy !req
297. that the shooting on the 5th of February of singer Brian SladeCopy !req
298. at London's Lyceum TheatreCopy !req
299. was a publicity stuntCopy !req
300. mounted by the singer's company Bijou Music Limited.Copy !req
301. Manager Jerry Devine announced todayCopy !req
302. that his company meant no harm in their escapades,Copy !req
303. that it was intended solely as entertainment.Copy !req
304. Very unfortunate,Copy !req
305. very sad and unfortunate thatCopy !req
306. in this day and ageCopy !req
307. an artist's quest for artistic freedomCopy !req
308. should cost him his career.Copy !req
309. Warum, denken Sie?Copy !req
310. Why do you think?Copy !req
311. I dunno.Copy !req
312. I dunno. It got too big, I guess.Copy !req
313. Too... got too schizoid, you know.Copy !req
314. I mean...Copy !req
315. he thought he fucking was Maxwell Demon in the end,Copy !req
316. you know?Copy !req
317. And Maxwell Demon,Copy !req
318. he thought he was God.Copy !req
319. But if it all works out nicelyCopy !req
320. You'll get the bonus you deserveCopy !req
321. From doctors we trustCopy !req
322. The Fat Lady of LimbourgCopy !req
323. Looked at the samples that we sentCopy !req
324. And furrowed her browCopy !req
325. Brian Slade?Copy !req
326. You would never believe thatCopy !req
327. Oh yes.Copy !req
328. Quite well.Copy !req
329. Once upon a time.Copy !req
330. So...?Copy !req
331. Yeah?Copy !req
332. So, what was he...Copy !req
333. what was he... like?Copy !req
334. Who's that? Brian?Copy !req
335. Yeah.Copy !req
336. Like nothing I'd ever seen before.Copy !req
337. And in the end...Copy !req
338. like nothing he appeared.Copy !req
339. He was... elegance,Copy !req
340. walking arm in arm with lie.Copy !req
341. His real name, in fact, was Thomas.Copy !req
342. And his father owned a small tiling businessCopy !req
343. in suburban Birmingham.Copy !req
344. But Brian never cared much for the suburbs.Copy !req
345. And as a young boy,Copy !req
346. he had the rare fortuneCopy !req
347. of spending a summer in LondonCopy !req
348. with his aunt,Copy !req
349. a figure of some ill repute in the Slade family,Copy !req
350. after she married a cockney in the entertainment fieldCopy !req
351. and followed him off to Deptford.Copy !req
352. I never was a one to go and stint myself.Copy !req
353. If I like a thing, I like it, that's enough.Copy !req
354. But there's lots of people say,Copy !req
355. that if you like a thing a lot, it'll grow on youCopy !req
356. and all that sort of stuffCopy !req
357. Oh, I always hold in having it if you fancy itCopy !req
358. If you fancy it,Copy !req
359. that's understood.Copy !req
360. And suppose it makes you fat?Copy !req
361. I don't worry over that.Copy !req
362. 'Cause a little of what you fancy does you good.Copy !req
363. Brian's tender introductionCopy !req
364. to the theatrical underworld,Copy !req
365. would leave a dramatic impression.Copy !req
366. Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boomCopy !req
367. Tutti FruttiCopy !req
368. Oh RuttiCopy !req
369. Tutti FruttiCopy !req
370. Oh RuttiCopy !req
371. Tutti Frutti, oh goo lop bamCopy !req
372. Tutti FruttiCopy !req
373. Oh RuttiCopy !req
374. Tutti FruttiCopy !req
375. Tutti FruttiCopy !req
376. Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boomCopy !req
377. So what are you? A mod or a rocker?Copy !req
378. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, really.Copy !req
379. Taking their cue from Little Richard,Copy !req
380. the swank London modsCopy !req
381. short for modernistsCopy !req
382. were the first to wear mascara and lacquer their hair,Copy !req
383. the first true dandies of popCopy !req
384. and known to just about any indiscretion,Copy !req
385. where a good suit was involved.Copy !req
386. Cry at nightCopy !req
387. No one in sightCopy !req
388. An'we got so much to shareCopy !req
389. Talking's fineCopy !req
390. If you got the timeCopy !req
391. All right, lads?Copy !req
392. Do you wanna touch yeahCopy !req
393. Do you wanna touch yeahCopy !req
394. Do you wanna touch me there whereCopy !req
395. Do you wanna touch yeahCopy !req
396. Do you wanna touch yeahCopy !req
397. Do you wanna touch me there whereCopy !req
398. Style... always wins out in the end.Copy !req
399. Cheers!Copy !req
400. For Brian,Copy !req
401. the mods were a glamorous call to arms.Copy !req
402. Or at least to London, where three years later...Copy !req
403. at the Sombrero Club in Kensington,Copy !req
404. I would hear him sing for the very first time.Copy !req
405. Everything, it seemed, started at the Sombrero.Copy !req
406. No club in London had more notorious sway.Copy !req
407. And there, at the centre of itCopy !req
408. was Brian's American wife, Mandy...Copy !req
409. who's dramatic transformation to London party girlCopy !req
410. was a constant source of amusement to us all.Copy !req
411. You all know me. Subtlety is my middle name.Copy !req
412. It's as subtle as the piece of skinCopy !req
413. between my vagina and my anus? Oh La La!Copy !req
414. Now what's is that called,Copy !req
415. does anyone remember what that's called?Copy !req
416. No man's land! Oh gosh, my geesh, darling!Copy !req
417. Now, ladies of and gentlemen, boys and girls.Copy !req
418. And whomever else who may be in the house this evening.Copy !req
419. It is my supreme pleasureCopy !req
420. to introduce all you lovely little minxes here tonightCopy !req
421. to the Sombrero Club's prettiest starCopy !req
422. and my most shimmering hubby!Copy !req
423. I give you Brian Slade!Copy !req
424. Oh I was moved by your screen dreamCopy !req
425. Celluloid pictures livingCopy !req
426. Your death could not kill our love for youCopy !req
427. Take two people romanticCopy !req
428. Smoky nightclub situationCopy !req
429. Your cigarette traces a ladderCopy !req
430. Here's looking at you kidCopy !req
431. Celebrate yearsCopy !req
432. Here's looking at you kidCopy !req
433. Wipe away tearsCopy !req
434. Long timeCopy !req
435. Since we're togetherCopy !req
436. Now I hope it's foreverCopy !req
437. Fuck. The mistress boner.Copy !req
438. Mmm, partly a lonely pervert.Copy !req
439. Tart. My dear. He's a tarting guilty clubber.Copy !req
440. - But not that scruffy, as I last recall. - Ooh, you're wicked.Copy !req
441. He won't be back tonight.Copy !req
442. So, I introduced myself,Copy !req
443. told him I was developing my own management companyCopy !req
444. and on the look-out for new talent.Copy !req
445. He introduced me to his wife, asked me what sign I wasCopy !req
446. and before the week was out, we were signing contracts.Copy !req
447. You see, Brian believed in the future.Copy !req
448. He despised the hypocrisy of the "Peace and love" GenerationCopy !req
449. and felt his music spokeCopy !req
450. far more to its orphans and its outcasts.Copy !req
451. His revolution, he used to say,Copy !req
452. will be a sexual one.Copy !req
453. But in 1970, rock audiences bred onCopy !req
454. Credence Clearwater and the BeatlesCopy !req
455. were not entirely sureCopy !req
456. what to make of this particular brand of revolt.Copy !req
457. Radiate simplyCopy !req
458. The candle is burningCopy !req
459. So low for meCopy !req
460. Generate me limplyCopy !req
461. Somehow he got it into his headCopy !req
462. that he had to perform in a frock.Copy !req
463. Don't ask me why.Copy !req
464. I mean, I thought it was a bit naughty,Copy !req
465. a bit of a giggle, but...Copy !req
466. Somebody called me SebastianCopy !req
467. Somebody called me SebastianCopy !req
468. Who's this geezer, then?Copy !req
469. Some shirt-lifter from Birmingham.Copy !req
470. Work out a rhymeCopy !req
471. Toss me the timeCopy !req
472. Lay me you're mineCopy !req
473. And we all know oh yeahCopy !req
474. Get the fuck off! Cut the shite!Copy !req
475. - Bugger off, you woofter! - Fuck off!Copy !req
476. Your Persian eyes sparkleCopy !req
477. Your lips ruby blueCopy !req
478. - Darling? Darling, you were fabulous! - Well done.Copy !req
479. Every bit! I was beaming, truly, like someone's mum.Copy !req
480. God. They adored you! Honestly. The whole lot - transported!Copy !req
481. Transported! We went down like a fucking knackered lift!Copy !req
482. Brian, I tell you, I think it's simply a matter of presentation.Copy !req
483. What happened to Judy Garland!Copy !req

517. According to legend, when Curt was 13,Copy !req
518. he was discovered by his mother in the family looCopy !req
519. servicing his older brother,Copy !req
520. and promptly shipped offCopy !req
521. for 18 months of electric shock treatment.Copy !req
522. The doctors guaranteedCopy !req
523. the treatment would fry the fairy clean out of him.Copy !req
524. But all it did was make him bonkersCopy !req
525. every time he heard electric guitar.Copy !req
526. They despised him.Copy !req
527. Yeah.Copy !req
528. But when you're abused like that,Copy !req
529. you know you've touched the stars.Copy !req
530. I know. I just...Copy !req
531. I just wish it'd been me.Copy !req

561. Personal management. I'm interested.Copy !req
562. Oh, well, thank you, but I already have management.Copy !req
563. He's...Copy !req
564. Not in my opinion.Copy !req
565. The truth is you have talent. That's obvious.Copy !req
566. But it doesn't really matter much what a man does in his life.Copy !req
567. What matters is the legend that grows up around him.Copy !req
568. Today, you're a talented singer.Copy !req
569. That's all right.Copy !req
570. I can make you a star.Copy !req
571. And just how do you propose to do that?Copy !req
572. I will tell you, sir,Copy !req
573. when you pin me.Copy !req
574. I've never in all my life...Copy !req

577. All or nothing anythingCopy !req
578. Ecstasy's the birthright of our gangCopy !req
579. We'll take the whole shebangCopy !req
580. Earlier tonight,Copy !req
581. on the popular chart show 'Top of the Pops',Copy !req
582. newcomer Brian SladeCopy !req
583. performed his hit single 'The Whole Shebang',Copy !req
584. dressed in platform boots and wearing glitter eye make-up.Copy !req
585. A spokesman for the show,Copy !req
586. known for showcasing pop's brightest stars,Copy !req
587. says they've been deluged with calls all evening.Copy !req
588. The next day every schoolgirl in LondonCopy !req
589. was wearing glitter eye make-up.Copy !req
590. And I was out of a bleeding job.Copy !req
591. And that, as they say, was that.Copy !req
592. I would not hear another word from Brian,Copy !req
593. or any of them for that matter, ever again.Copy !req
594. Have you got any idea what ultimately happened to him?Copy !req
595. I mean, where is he today?Copy !req
596. Last I heard he'd returned to Birmingham, but...Copy !req
597. this was three years ago? Four?Copy !req
598. No, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you there.Copy !req
599. - Looks as though it may be unavoidable. - What's that?Copy !req
600. The ex, I'm afraid.Copy !req
601. But then every story needs a contrary opinion,Copy !req
602. and with MandyCopy !req
603. you're guaranteed excesses of both.Copy !req
604. Miss Slade?Copy !req
605. Yeah?Copy !req
606. I'm Arthur Stuart, from the Herald.Copy !req
607. We spoke on the phone.Copy !req
608. Anyway, I've just got a few questions I wanted to ask.Copy !req
609. It shouldn't take too long.Copy !req
610. Do you mind if I sit down?Copy !req
611. It's a free country. Sort of.Copy !req
612. So, what are you having?Copy !req
613. Scotch. Rocks.Copy !req
614. Yeah, make that two.Copy !req
615. Gee. You must be after some damn exclusive copy.Copy !req
616. Well, it's a piece on Brian Slade.Copy !req
617. You're not kidding.Copy !req
618. Well it's been, ten years since the whole...Copy !req
619. fake shooting incident.Copy !req
620. Oh, and what a fake it was.Copy !req
621. Tricking us all in the end with such an authentic demise.Copy !req
622. His career, you mean?Copy !req
623. I mean, have you got any ideaCopy !req
624. what happened to him or where he is today?Copy !req
625. Can't you just, run him through the files? Punch in the name?Copy !req
626. No, not exactly.Copy !req
627. Because, honestly darling,Copy !req
628. I haven't spoken with Mr SladeCopy !req
629. in seven years, at least.Copy !req
630. Seven years? Wow.Copy !req
631. Wow. Yeah. At least. Smoke?Copy !req
632. No thanks.Copy !req
633. No, right after everything crashed, we... we split.Copy !req
634. And Brian, he just became someone else.Copy !req
635. But again, he always was.Copy !req
636. That's 10 bob to you, mate.Copy !req
637. It was New Year's Eve 1969, the start of a new decade,Copy !req
638. and everywhere you went there was this sense of the future,Copy !req
639. the feeling in the air that anything was possible.Copy !req
640. See, Jack Fairy had also come to LondonCopy !req
641. in the swinging sixties.Copy !req
642. And in crowded clubs or hotel bars,Copy !req
643. this shipwreck of the streetsCopy !req
644. rehearsed his future glory.Copy !req
645. A cigarette tracing a ladder to the stars.Copy !req
646. Maricon, bisexuelle, sexe douteux.Copy !req
647. Le Vice Anglais.Copy !req
648. I needn't mentionCopy !req
649. how essential dreaming isCopy !req
650. to the character of the rock star.Copy !req
651. Jack, darling!Copy !req
652. Jack was truly the first of his kind.Copy !req
653. A true original. Everybody stole from Jack.Copy !req
654. But from the moment Brian Slade stepped into our lives,Copy !req
655. nothing would ever be the same.Copy !req
656. It was his nature.Copy !req
657. You got me girl on the run around run aroundCopy !req
658. You got me all around townCopy !req
659. You got me girl on the run aroundCopy !req
660. And it's getting me down getting me downCopy !req
661. LadyCopy !req
662. If you want to find a loverCopy !req
663. Then you look no furtherCopy !req
664. 'Cause I'm gonna be your onlyCopy !req
665. SearchingCopy !req
666. At the start of the seasonCopy !req
667. And my only reasonCopy !req
668. Is that I'll get to youCopy !req
669. Do you jive?Copy !req
670. I'll find someCopy !req
671. Way of connectionCopy !req
672. Hiding my intentionCopy !req
673. Then I'll move up close to youCopy !req
674. I'll use youCopy !req
675. And I'll confuse youCopy !req
676. And the I'll lose youCopy !req
677. But still you won't suspect meCopy !req
678. So... I married him.Copy !req
679. I was dancing when I was twelveCopy !req
680. I was dancing when I was twelveCopy !req
681. Times,Copy !req
682. places, people...Copy !req
683. They're all speeding up.Copy !req
684. So to cope with this evolutionary paranoia,Copy !req
685. strange people are chosen,Copy !req
686. who, through their art,Copy !req
687. can move progress more quickly.Copy !req
688. It was the most stimulatingCopy !req
689. and reflective period of our marriage.Copy !req
690. Is it strange to dance so lateCopy !req
691. Is it strange to dance so lateCopy !req
692. We are the boys and we are a class actCopy !req
693. Thank you and welcome,Copy !req
694. pop pickers, to 'Pick of the Pops'.Copy !req
695. I'm Davy RocketCopy !req
696. and we have a very special show for you today,Copy !req
697. dedicated to one of pop's blazing new talents,Copy !req
698. and one who's been holding a virtual reign overCopy !req
699. the British chartsCopy !req
700. for a startling record breaking 18-month span.Copy !req
701. Ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
702. I give you the incomparable Brian Slade.Copy !req
703. Or should I say... Maxwell Demon.Copy !req
704. We are the boysCopy !req
705. The bloke at the front.Copy !req
706. Brian, why the make-up?Copy !req
707. Why? Because rock and roll's a prostitute!Copy !req
708. It should be tarted up! Performed!Copy !req
709. The music is the mask, while I,Copy !req
710. in my chiffon and taff, well, varda the message.Copy !req
711. Brian, Brian!Copy !req
712. Bloke in the suit there.Copy !req
713. What about your fans?Copy !req
714. Aren't they likely to get the... the wrong impression?Copy !req
715. And which wrong impression is that?Copy !req
716. Well, you're a blinking fruit!Copy !req
717. Well thank you, sir,Copy !req
718. and no, it doesn't concern me in the least.Copy !req
719. I should think thatCopy !req
720. if people were to get that impression of meCopy !req
721. the one to which you so eloquently refer,Copy !req
722. it wouldn't be a wrong impression in the slightest.Copy !req
723. That is me, that's me, dad, that's me!Copy !req
724. I mean, everybody knows most people are bisexual.Copy !req
725. Any more questions?Copy !req
726. Yeah, woman with the beret.Copy !req
727. I was under the impressionCopy !req
728. that you were married and living North London...Copy !req
729. I am married. Quite happily, in fact.Copy !req
730. I just happen to like boys as much as I like girls.Copy !req
731. And seeing as my wife feels pretty much the sameCopy !req
732. about such things.Copy !req
733. I should thinkCopy !req
734. we've been able to make a fairly decent go of it so far.Copy !req
735. Alright, any more questions? Okay, thank you very much.Copy !req
736. For the first time in Brian's life,Copy !req
737. he was simply telling it like it was.Copy !req
738. Did he realize what he'd actually done?Copy !req
739. How could he have?Copy !req
740. I mean today, there'd be fighting in the streets.Copy !req
741. But in 1972, it was more like dancing.Copy !req
742. That man, sitting over there in the white suitCopy !req
743. is the biggest thingCopy !req
744. to come out of this country since sliced Beatles.Copy !req
745. Outside this country, no one knows who the hell he is.Copy !req
746. You people, you're gonna change all that.Copy !req
747. You guys, you're the actors.Copy !req
748. It's up to you to change Brian Slade, pop singer,Copy !req
749. into Maxwell Demon,Copy !req
750. space-age fucking superstar!Copy !req
751. Nothing fantastic about it. Why?Copy !req
752. Because the secret of becoming a starCopy !req
753. is knowing how to behave like one.Copy !req
754. - Hey kids, let's put on a show! - Precisely.Copy !req
755. Action!Copy !req
756. Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Sort him out!Copy !req
757. Bijou Music Associates. Good afternoon.Copy !req
758. Bijou. Hello.Copy !req
759. Yes. You're through the reception. What can I help you?Copy !req
760. Oh, darling, I'm the biggest thing to hit the rocketCopy !req
761. since the pilgrim.Copy !req
762. I know it's unprecedented, I know it's unorthodox, but sir,Copy !req
763. if you want Brian Slade,Copy !req
764. those are the terms.Copy !req
765. You may take them or leave them.Copy !req
766. - Yes? -I'm Shannon Hazelbourne.Copy !req
767. Oh, the position. Fine. Brilliant. Follow me!Copy !req
768. Hurray! Zounds!Copy !req
769. Now, Shannon,Copy !req
770. I realize of course your talents lie within the clerical artCopy !req
771. but I was wondering by chanceCopy !req
772. if you had any experience with wardrobe?Copy !req
773. No, never.Copy !req
774. Fantastic. I think that's everything.Copy !req
775. No, I said I didn't.Copy !req
776. Everybody!Copy !req
777. I'd like to introduce youCopy !req
778. to our lovely new Wardrobe Mistress.Copy !req

785. who would you most fancy meeting in America?Copy !req
786. Ah, bravo! Jerry! Garbo, Brian, please!Copy !req
787. - Very sorry chickee. He's dead. - Jerry said anyone.Copy !req
788. Brian? Who?Copy !req
789. Curt Wild. I want to meet Curt Wild.Copy !req
790. And meet Curt Wild we did.Copy !req
791. Well we can't take it this weekCopy !req
792. And her friends don't want another speechCopy !req
793. Hoping for a better dayCopy !req
794. To hear what she's got to sayCopy !req
795. All about thatCopy !req
796. Personality crisisCopy !req
797. You got it while it was hotCopy !req
798. But now frustrationCopy !req
799. And heartache is what you gotCopy !req
800. That's why they talk about personalityCopy !req
801. But now your tryin to be someCopy !req
802. No you got to do someCopy !req
803. Wanna be someoneCopy !req
804. Who cow wow wowsCopy !req
805. But you think about the times you didCopy !req
806. They took every ounceCopy !req
807. When it sure got to be a shameCopy !req
808. When you start to scream and shoutCopy !req
809. I'm Rodney from Electra.Copy !req
810. I have Brian Slade hereCopy !req
811. from England who just wanted to pop over, say hello.Copy !req
812. I just wanted to sayCopy !req
813. I think your music is tops.Copy !req
814. Really, smashing. Best of the lot.Copy !req
815. Smashing... top of...Copy !req
816. jolly... shit.Copy !req
817. Sorry, darling.Copy !req
818. Now at that time,Copy !req
819. Curt Wild was between managementCopy !req
820. and Brian knew this,Copy !req
821. of course, and urged Devine to pursue the situation.Copy !req
822. And so if, in that probability, an interest aroseCopy !req
823. in which Brian would serve on some projects,Copy !req
824. possibly, though not exclusively,Copy !req
825. as we're taking our lead from you here, Curt,Copy !req
826. possibly as producer on that project.Copy !req
827. How might that scenario, purely hypothetically...Copy !req
828. how might that scenario appeal to you at this juncture?Copy !req
829. What Jerry's trying to say isCopy !req
830. do you want to come to London to cut a record?Copy !req
831. Oh, yeah. Cool.Copy !req
832. Very good!Copy !req
833. But how can we help you?Copy !req
834. You must tell us. What do you need?Copy !req
835. Everything.Copy !req
836. See, heroin was my mainman.Copy !req
837. But now I'm on the methadone and I'm getting my act together.Copy !req
838. You come here and say you wanna helpCopy !req
839. and I say, hey, far out.Copy !req
840. You could be my mainman.Copy !req
841. It was pretty clear what was happening. It happens every day.Copy !req
842. But for the world to think it was happening, well,Copy !req
843. that was Jerry's particular genius.Copy !req
844. Right away he started promoting the two of themCopy !req
845. like a pair of 40s starlets on the swoon.Copy !req
846. A Tracy and Hepburn for the 70s.Copy !req
847. Oh satellite of loveCopy !req
848. Ah satellite of loveCopy !req
849. Oo... satellite of loveCopy !req
850. SatelliteCopy !req
851. Satellites goneCopy !req
852. Way up to MarsCopy !req
853. Soon it will be filledCopy !req
854. With parking carsCopy !req
855. I watched it for a little whileCopy !req
856. I love to watch things on TVCopy !req
857. Ooo... ahh... satellite of loveCopy !req
858. Ha... satellite of loveCopy !req
859. Satellite of loveCopy !req
860. SatelliteCopy !req
861. I've been told that you've been boldCopy !req
862. With Harry, Mark, and JohnCopy !req
863. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ThursdayCopy !req
864. With Harry, Mark, and JohnCopy !req
865. If I could have grownCopy !req
866. All upon my ownCopy !req
867. If I could have grown I grewCopy !req
868. If I could have grew I doCopy !req
869. If I had a throneCopy !req
870. My career was on the skids, mate.Copy !req
871. And you fished me out of the muck.Copy !req
872. You got me back on my feet, you did.Copy !req
873. It was nothing, chum.Copy !req
874. I wanted to help youCopy !req
875. make more of that far out sound.Copy !req
876. I love your music, my son, and I love...Copy !req
877. You don't have to say it, mate.Copy !req
878. At last the crimson chord cascadeCopy !req
879. To shower dry cordials withinCopy !req
880. Too late to leap the chocolate gateCopy !req
881. Pale fountains fizzing forth pink ginCopy !req
882. While destiny begins to flyCopy !req
883. The farmyard chorus sings it's wakeCopy !req
884. Upstanding anthem to the skyCopy !req
885. Too soon to realise their fateCopy !req
886. Every great century that produces art is,Copy !req
887. so far, an artificial century.Copy !req
888. And the work that seemsCopy !req
889. the most natural and simple of its time,Copy !req
890. is always the result of the most self-conscious effort.Copy !req
891. I am not really myselfCopy !req
892. except in the midst of elegant crowdsCopy !req
893. at the heart of rich districtsCopy !req
894. or amid the sumptuous ornamentation of palace hotels,Copy !req
895. an army of servants and a plush carpet underfoot.Copy !req
896. What is true about music is true about lifeCopy !req
897. that beauty reveals everythingCopy !req
898. because it expresses nothing.Copy !req
899. The first duty in life is to assume a post.Copy !req
900. What the second duty isCopy !req
901. no one has yet found out.Copy !req
902. The Aesthete Gives CharacteristicallyCopy !req
903. Cynical EvidenceCopy !req
904. Replete with Pointed Epigram and Startling ParadoxCopy !req
905. while Explaining His Views on Morality in Art.Copy !req
906. Brian, Brian!Copy !req
907. Maxwell Demon is the story of a space creature,Copy !req
908. who becomes a rock and roll messiahCopy !req
909. only to be destroyed by his own success.Copy !req
910. Are you saying this is your destiny?Copy !req
911. Are you Maxwell Demon?Copy !req
912. Man is least himself, when he talks in his own person!Copy !req
913. Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!Copy !req
914. Brian! Brian!Copy !req
915. Is it your belief that all dandies are homosexual?Copy !req
916. Ha! Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner!Copy !req
917. Hey! Coming through! Coming through!Copy !req
918. Hey guys. Watch out! Excuse me!Copy !req
919. Coming through. Careful now! There you go.Copy !req
920. Tell us Brian!Copy !req
921. Are the rumours true that say youCopy !req
922. and Curt Wild have some sort of plans up your sleeve?Copy !req
923. Oh, yes! Quite soon we actually plan to take over the world.Copy !req
924. Excuse me, fellas,Copy !req
925. while I raise a glass to the loveliest man in Europe!Copy !req
926. And they tell you it's not natural!Copy !req
927. The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold.Copy !req
928. The curves of your lips rewrite history.Copy !req
929. Baby's on fireCopy !req
930. Better throw her in the waterCopy !req
931. Look at her laughingCopy !req
932. Like a heifer to the slaughterCopy !req
933. Baby's on fireCopy !req
934. And all the laughing boys are bitchingCopy !req
935. Waiting for photosCopy !req
936. Oh the plot is so bewitchingCopy !req
937. Rescuers row rowCopy !req
938. Do your best to change the subjectCopy !req
939. Blow the wind blow blowCopy !req
940. Lend some assistance to the objectCopy !req
941. Photographers snip snapCopy !req
942. Take your time she's only burningCopy !req
943. This kind of experienceCopy !req
944. Is necessary for her learningCopy !req
945. If you'll be my flotsamCopy !req
946. I could be half the man I used toCopy !req
947. They said you were hot stuffCopy !req
948. And that's what baby's been reduced toCopy !req
949. This is too much!Copy !req
950. Jim! What are you gonna do? Jim!Copy !req
951. Ah, my God.Copy !req
952. Could you conceivably turn down that blasted...Copy !req
953. Arthur! Arthur, open this door!Copy !req
954. You bring shame to this house.Copy !req
955. You bring shame to your mother and me.Copy !req
956. It's a shameful, filthy thing you're doing.Copy !req
957. Do you hear me?Copy !req
958. Stand up!Copy !req
959. It's funny how beautiful people lookCopy !req
960. when they're walking out the door.Copy !req
961. Really Shannon, it's no problem, honestly.Copy !req
962. I'm not fussed about it, I'm quite open about it.Copy !req
963. I was having a fabulous time last night myself.Copy !req
964. Really luv.Copy !req
965. You shouldn't let it upset you so. Brian is a grown manCopy !req
966. and fully capable of shagging whatever he fanciesCopy !req
967. and exceedingly partial to the practice.Copy !req
968. Now, just because someone sees, you know,Copy !req
969. two naked people asleep in bed togetherCopy !req
970. it doesn't necessarily prove sex was involved.Copy !req
971. It does, however, make for a very strong case.Copy !req
972. But you're a sweet, sensitive darlingCopy !req
973. to be so broken up about it.Copy !req
974. Brian would be absolutely chuffedCopy !req
975. to know that you...Copy !req
976. Don't you ever dare tell Brian!Copy !req
977. Swear to me you'll never say a word. Ever.Copy !req
978. I swear.Copy !req
979. Jesus!Copy !req
980. Sudden change in plans. Brief holiday, much needed.Copy !req
981. Back by Hammersmith.Copy !req
982. B.Copy !req
983. That was it.Copy !req
984. And I knew my timeCopy !req
985. with Brian, for a practical or perhaps is, wasCopy !req
986. up.Copy !req
987. Look I'm sorry. I wish I could help you more.Copy !req
988. You seem like a nice guy. I just...Copy !req
989. don't think I have what you're looking for.Copy !req
990. See... I think you do actually.Copy !req
991. Oh yeah? And what makes you think so?Copy !req
992. Well that smile, for one thing.Copy !req
993. Well, smiles lie.Copy !req
994. Exactly.Copy !req
995. Listen. Once, of course,Copy !req
996. it was a gorgeous gorgeous time.Copy !req
997. We were all living our dreams.Copy !req
998. But you see all that went away.Copy !req
999. All of it.Copy !req
1000. With Curt.Copy !req
1001. And not even the real Curt.Copy !req
1002. I mean, it was this idea of Curt more than anything.Copy !req
1003. This image, which, of course,Copy !req
1004. nobody could ever possibly live up to.Copy !req
1005. I mean Maxwell Demon, Curt Wild.Copy !req
1006. They were fictions!Copy !req
1007. Somewhere along the way,Copy !req
1008. Brian seemed to get lost in the lie.Copy !req
1009. Won't you come with meCopy !req
1010. To a place that's realCopy !req
1011. Come and take my handCopy !req
1012. And will find a thrillCopy !req
1013. Can't you see?Copy !req
1014. I wanna tear it downCopy !req
1015. Come with meCopy !req
1016. I wanna kick it all aroundCopy !req
1017. - Shit! - Cut it.Copy !req
1018. Should I stop it?Copy !req
1019. Tell me what you needCopy !req
1020. I wanna be your uncleanCopy !req
1021. Give me anythingCopy !req
1022. I wanna be your dreamCopy !req
1023. He's gonna hit the bridge a half-verse early.Copy !req
1024. Now you're simply wasting tape.Copy !req
1025. Alright. Cut it.Copy !req
1026. And I'll set...Copy !req
1027. What? What? Is there a problem?Copy !req
1028. Curt, we only ask that when you decide to make a changeCopy !req
1029. you simply inform us in advance,Copy !req
1030. so Eton here is properly prepared, otherwise...Copy !req
1031. What the fuck are you talking about man?Copy !req
1032. I didn't make any fucking changes!Copy !req
1033. Brian?Copy !req
1034. Fucking mother fucker! Mother fucker, you're a mother fucker!Copy !req
1035. Fuck you! Fuck you, mother fucker! Fuck you!Copy !req
1036. Eton! Eton, please!Copy !req
1037. Brian, I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this,Copy !req
1038. but what started off as an interesting experimentCopy !req
1039. has quite frankly descended intoCopy !req
1040. a demeaning waste of your time and mine.Copy !req
1041. I mean, you've already spent forty hours studio time...Copy !req
1042. Thirty-six.Copy !req
1043. Whatever!Copy !req
1044. Thirty-six hours studio time on two, three bloody cuts!Copy !req
1045. Brian, you seem to forget, you're a very big star now,Copy !req
1046. and I think your time is worth a great deal more than this...Copy !req
1047. Fucking space-queen on your fucking high horse!Copy !req
1048. And all your fucking henchmen!Copy !req
1049. Fuck you, fuck you!Copy !req
1050. Perhaps it's time for another little break. Hey fellas?Copy !req
1051. Give us a stretch.Copy !req
1052. Jerry?Copy !req
1053. I can't risk extending his contract, Brian.Copy !req
1054. I think it's quite clear why.Copy !req
1055. I'll talk to you tomorrow.Copy !req
1056. Piss off! Go on then!Copy !req
1057. Back to your wolves!Copy !req
1058. Your junkie twerps!Copy !req
1059. Your bloody shock treatment!Copy !req
1060. And fuck you too!Copy !req
1061. It all came crashing down.Copy !req
1062. I just stood on the sideline and watched,Copy !req
1063. just like everybody else.Copy !req
1064. Well, this is such a sad affairCopy !req
1065. I've opened up my heart so many timesCopy !req
1066. But now it's closedCopy !req
1067. Out! O-U-T.Copy !req
1068. Well, Brian. I'm afraid that is completely out of the question.Copy !req
1069. You are contractually bound toCopy !req
1070. finish the Maxwell Demon tourCopy !req
1071. as Maxwell Demon.Copy !req
1072. Jerry, I'm telling you,Copy !req
1073. it's just getting far too out of hand...Copy !req
1074. Brian! I realize you're under tremendous strain,Copy !req
1075. but you've just gotta hang on in thereCopy !req
1076. and finish the bloody tour.Copy !req
1077. You hang on in there. I'll hang on here. Right?Copy !req
1078. And then you can do what you want. OK?Copy !req
1079. Oh my dearCopy !req
1080. Every salted tear it wringsCopy !req
1081. Bitter-sweet applauseCopy !req
1082. But when the show's in full swingCopy !req
1083. Every once in a whileCopy !req
1084. High stepping chorus linesCopy !req
1085. Mean I'm forgettingCopy !req
1086. Mein lullaby - liebchenCopy !req
1087. Down with Slade!Copy !req
1088. How rich in contrastCopy !req
1089. Love can beCopy !req
1090. Sometimes I'm quite amusedCopy !req
1091. To see it twist and turnCopy !req
1092. To taste - both sweet and dryCopy !req
1093. These vintage yearsCopy !req
1094. Lovers you consume, my friendCopy !req
1095. As others their wineCopy !req
1096. Nein - das ist nichtCopy !req
1097. Das ende der WeltCopy !req
1098. Gestrandet an Leben und KunstCopy !req
1099. I don't believe that there is much of a future to speak of.Copy !req
1100. We're in a bit of a decadent spiral, aren't we?Copy !req
1101. Sinking fast.Copy !req
1102. Big Brother, baby. All the way.Copy !req
1103. Which is why we prefer impressions to ideas.Copy !req
1104. Situations to subjects.Copy !req
1105. Brief flights to sustained ones.Copy !req
1106. Well I'm... I'm just looking for a room at the moment.Copy !req
1107. And now, as you turn to leaveCopy !req
1108. You try to force a smileCopy !req
1109. As if to compensateCopy !req
1110. Then you break down and cryCopy !req
1111. So for one entire day,Copy !req
1112. I actually think Brian's been shot.Copy !req
1113. That the whole thing is real.Copy !req
1114. All his paranoias proven horribly true.Copy !req
1115. Why?Copy !req
1116. Forgot.Copy !req
1117. Jesus!Copy !req
1118. I mean... I knew it was over. I just...Copy !req
1119. didn't know it was up to me to make it stop.Copy !req
1120. No, thanks.Copy !req
1121. These are the papers.Copy !req
1122. I believe they're in order.Copy !req
1123. All you need to do is sign.Copy !req
1124. So you won't forget.Copy !req
1125. - I already have. - Evidently!Copy !req
1126. Fuck you, Brian! Did you ever,Copy !req
1127. for one bloody second in your life,Copy !req
1128. want anything more... than this?Copy !req
1129. No.Copy !req
1130. Your problem is...Copy !req
1131. you get what you want and do what you will.Copy !req
1132. Worlds, Mandy, are built out of suffering.Copy !req
1133. There is suffering at the birth of a childCopy !req
1134. as at the birth of a star.Copy !req
1135. You live in terror of not being misunderstood.Copy !req
1136. Women defend themselves by attacking,Copy !req
1137. just as they attackCopy !req
1138. by sudden and strange surrenders.Copy !req
1139. I lost my girlhood, true.Copy !req
1140. But it was for you.Copy !req
1141. What in God's name is going on up here?Copy !req
1142. How the fuck did you get up here?Copy !req
1143. Brian, I'm really sorry about...Copy !req
1144. It's alright, Shannon.Copy !req
1145. Mandy was just leaving.Copy !req
1146. Mandy, if you'd be so kind as to follow me...Copy !req
1147. Let go of me. I'm perfectly capable of making my own...Copy !req
1148. I really don't want to have to call someone.Copy !req
1149. Call someone?Copy !req
1150. I am his wife, for fuck's sake!Copy !req
1151. Fuck the lot of you!Copy !req
1152. Was that the last time you saw him?Copy !req
1153. No.Copy !req
1154. That was the last time we actually... spoke.Copy !req
1155. I saw him again.Copy !req
1156. Briefly, a few weeks later, at a concert.Copy !req
1157. He was performing?Copy !req
1158. No. Curt was actually performing.Copy !req
1159. He and Jack Fairy had just finishedCopy !req
1160. their Berlin record,Copy !req
1161. and Curt was in London playing some gigs.Copy !req
1162. And Brian was there, for a second.Copy !req
1163. I don't think anyone even saw him.Copy !req
1164. Which concert?Copy !req
1165. It was like a tribute.Copy !req
1166. Sort of a farewell concert to glam rock.Copy !req
1167. To save your wild, wild lives.Copy !req
1168. To ne'er your fans embitter.Copy !req
1169. To cease your sad demise.Copy !req
1170. Tonight, we toast!Copy !req
1171. Friends say it's fine, friends say it's goodCopy !req
1172. Everybody says it's just like Robin HoodCopy !req
1173. I move like a rat, talk like a catCopy !req
1174. Sting like a beeCopy !req
1175. Baby I'm gonna be your manCopy !req
1176. And it's great to see you're mad for me, yeahCopy !req
1177. I'm your toy, your 20th century boyCopy !req
1178. - Is this working? - You know it's working.Copy !req
1179. No. Cos I want it blue-er.Copy !req
1180. I don't think you should bother.Copy !req
1181. I think I should go on stage tonight, instead of you.Copy !req
1182. Arthur, come on, give us a hand with this.Copy !req
1183. Come on. Come on. My God, I'm stuck.Copy !req
1184. Stop moving about, I'm doing me eyeliner.Copy !req
1185. I've been entwined my body... pull off!Copy !req
1186. And it's great to see you're mad for me, yeahCopy !req
1187. I'm your toy, your 20th century boyCopy !req
1188. 20th century boy, I wanna be your toyCopy !req
1189. 20th century boy, I wanna be your toyCopy !req
1190. 20th century boy, I wanna be your toyCopy !req
1191. 20th century boy, I wanna be your toyCopy !req
1192. Friends say it's fine, friends say it's goodCopy !req
1193. Everybody says it's just like Rock and RollCopy !req
1194. I move like a cat, talk like a ratCopy !req
1195. Yeah, I'm try to reach Curt Wild.Copy !req
1196. I'm a journalist from the Herald.Copy !req
1197. Hi, yeah. My name is Arthur Stuart,Copy !req
1198. from the Herald.Copy !req
1199. I was... I was given this numberCopy !req
1200. and told I could reach Curt Wild here.Copy !req
1201. Listen...Copy !req
1202. Yeah. Hello? Hello!Copy !req
1203. Listen, I don't know who the hell gave you this number,Copy !req
1204. but Curt Wild is not availableCopy !req
1205. and not interested in granting youCopy !req
1206. or anyone else an interview on this subject.Copy !req
1207. You got it?Copy !req
1208. I'm sorry. I was told...Copy !req
1209. Oh cheeky cheekyCopy !req
1210. Oh naughty sneakyCopy !req
1211. You're so perceptive, and I wonder how you knewCopy !req
1212. But these finks don't walk too wellCopy !req
1213. A bad sense of directionCopy !req
1214. And so they stumble round in threesCopy !req
1215. The tour will be a tremendous success.Copy !req
1216. And due to the overwhelming demand,Copy !req
1217. there will be additional shows addedCopy !req
1218. whenever and wherever possible.Copy !req
1219. Regretfully,Copy !req
1220. Mr. Stone only has left a few questionsCopy !req
1221. as he has a plain to catch the train.Copy !req
1222. You're always so charmingCopy !req
1223. As you make your way up hereCopy !req
1224. Lou. Lou.Copy !req
1225. Lou! Lou!Copy !req
1226. Sorry guy, but I'm late.Copy !req
1227. I think I'm onto something.Copy !req
1228. I think I know who Brian Slade is.Copy !req
1229. Oh, that story's been dropped.Copy !req
1230. What? Why?Copy !req
1231. I need you on the Stone show.Copy !req
1232. That's it?Copy !req
1233. What they say to you?Copy !req
1234. Lou!Copy !req
1235. Gimme danger, little strangerCopy !req
1236. And I'll feel you bleedCopy !req
1237. Gimme danger, little strangerCopy !req
1238. And I'll heal your diseaseCopy !req
1239. There's nothing in my dreamsCopy !req
1240. But some ugly memoriesCopy !req
1241. Kiss me like the ocean breezeCopy !req
1242. Now if you will be my loverCopy !req
1243. I will shiver and singCopy !req
1244. But if you will be my masterCopy !req
1245. Then I will do anythingCopy !req
1246. There's nothing left aliveCopy !req
1247. But a pair of dark glassy eyesCopy !req
1248. Raise my fears one more timeCopy !req
1249. Come on little danger, die a little strangerCopy !req
1250. Swear you're gonna feel my handsCopy !req

1274. I wanna feel itCopy !req
1275. I wanna feel it, feel it, feel it, feel itCopy !req
1276. - Did you see him? - No, I didn't see him.Copy !req
1277. It's only now, looking back that I seeCopy !req
1278. how you patched through my wallsCopy !req
1279. and entered my life in waves.Copy !req
1280. Come closer.Copy !req
1281. Don't be frightened.Copy !req
1282. What's your name?Copy !req
1283. Your favourite colour? Song? Movie?Copy !req
1284. - Don't be nervous. Are you high? - I'm on a button.Copy !req
1285. He was waiting for me.Copy !req
1286. I'd followed his signalsCopy !req
1287. and slipped away and now, suddenly...Copy !req
1288. Hey!Copy !req
1289. Make a wish!Copy !req
1290. Hey!Copy !req
1291. Make a wish!Copy !req
1292. And see yourself, on-stage, inside-out.Copy !req
1293. A tangle of garlands in your hair.Copy !req
1294. Of course you were pleasantly surprised.Copy !req
1295. Softly, he said:Copy !req
1296. Gee, but it's hardCopy !req
1297. I will mangle your mind.Copy !req
1298. When one lowers one's guard to the vulturesCopy !req
1299. Now, me I regard itCopy !req
1300. A torturous hardship that smoldersCopy !req
1301. Like a peppermint eaten awayCopy !req
1302. Will I fight? Will I swagger, or swayCopy !req
1303. Tee hee, miladyCopy !req
1304. She cries like a baby, scold usCopy !req
1305. See her tumbling downCopy !req
1306. See her tumbling downCopy !req
1307. Heil to the monkeyCopy !req
1308. We're having a funky reunionCopy !req
1309. Wasted and sunkCopy !req
1310. He can only have Sunday communionCopy !req
1311. He's got nicotine stains in his eyesCopy !req
1312. He's got nothing to protect but his prideCopy !req
1313. Oh smothered a kissCopy !req
1314. Or be drowned in blissful confusionCopy !req
1315. See her tumbling downCopy !req
1316. See her tumbling downCopy !req
1317. See her tumbling downCopy !req
1318. Tumbling downCopy !req
1319. Tommy! Where did you get the ideaCopy !req
1320. for such a spectacular stadium show?Copy !req
1321. To tell you the truth? It's a bloody pain in the ass!Copy !req
1322. The whole thing takes six full size rigsCopy !req
1323. or three chartered planes to transport.Copy !req
1324. What can I say? I think big!Copy !req
1325. Tommy! Over here!Copy !req
1326. Tommy! What's your opinion on the workCopy !req
1327. that President Reynolds has been doing?Copy !req
1328. Excellent. Excellent.Copy !req
1329. I think he's doing brilliant work.Copy !req
1330. He's a tremendous leader, a tremendous spokespersonCopy !req
1331. for the needs of the nation today.Copy !req
1332. Tommy!Copy !req
1333. What's your response to the recent allegationsCopy !req
1334. connecting you with bisexual pop-singer Brian SladeCopy !req
1335. who staged his own assassinationCopy !req
1336. ten years ago this week in London?Copy !req
1337. that Mr Stone has time for this evening.Copy !req
1338. Thank you very much!Copy !req
1339. Out! Out! Get out!Copy !req
1340. Now! Out!Copy !req
1341. Stone is promoting his Grammy-winning release,Copy !req
1342. People Rockin' People,Copy !req
1343. to sold-out arenas worldwide.Copy !req
1344. Beer, please.Copy !req
1345. Excuse me? Sir?Copy !req
1346. Are you with the Tommy Stone Tour?Copy !req
1347. No. I'm just a journalist.Copy !req
1348. Perhaps you'd like my... press pass?Copy !req
1349. As a souvenir?Copy !req
1350. Thanks sir.Copy !req
1351. You're Curt Wild.Copy !req
1352. Yeah. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
1353. I'm a journalist. From the Herald.Copy !req
1354. You were at the concert?Copy !req
1355. It's just funny, cause...Copy !req
1356. I was trying to contact you, actually.Copy !req
1357. About a story I was doing,Copy !req
1358. about an old friend of yours.Copy !req
1359. Brian Slade?Copy !req
1360. I was trying to find out what actually happened to him.Copy !req
1361. such a mystery.Copy !req
1362. Look, man, I don't know who you've been talking toCopy !req
1363. or what you're after here.Copy !req
1364. What?Copy !req
1365. What?Copy !req
1366. Listen! A real artist creates beautiful thingsCopy !req
1367. and puts nothing of his won life into them. Okay?Copy !req
1368. We set out to change the world.Copy !req
1369. Ended up just changing ourselves.Copy !req
1370. What's wrong with that?Copy !req
1371. Nothing.Copy !req
1372. If you don't look at the world.Copy !req
1373. Well, I guess in the end he got what he wanted.Copy !req
1374. - That's quite a pin you got there. - Oh yeah.Copy !req
1375. Is it old?Copy !req
1376. Possibly. It belonged to Oscar Wilde.Copy !req
1377. Or so I was told by the person who gave it to me.Copy !req
1378. A friend of mine. Kinda disappeared some years back.Copy !req
1379. I forget where we were. We were on a trip.Copy !req
1380. But he said to me,Copy !req
1381. Curt, A man's life is his image.Copy !req
1382. - Here. Why don't you hang on to it? - Me?Copy !req
1383. Sure. Why not?Copy !req
1384. I've had it too long anyway. Go ahead.Copy !req
1385. For your image.Copy !req
1386. Really. I couldn't.Copy !req
1387. But thanks.Copy !req
1388. God, I love this song.Copy !req
1389. - See ya around. - Cheers!Copy !req
1390. He called it a freedom.Copy !req
