and there was trash piled | 1 0 foot high.

They seem to have | missed that.

Wear the garbage bag, | for God's sake --

and then you're dealing | with it.

And that's what I | would be doing...

I would wrap myself | basically in trash.

...and that so lamely | and unfashionable...

that dogs bark at me | as I halt by them.

I've got news for you. | Dogs bark at me.

In a weird way, that whole | persona of, say, "Richard Ill"

helped when I joined | the Sex Pistols.

Deformed, hilarious, | grotesque --

and the "Hunchback | of Notre Dame" is in there,

and just bizarre characters

that somehow or other, | through all of their deformities

managed to achieve something.

# ...Just for a short while #

# She'll scratch in the sand #

# Won't let go of his hand... #

Steve was a kind | of a kleptomaniac, really.

I'm sure he would be | diagnosed as that, you know,

because he couldn't keep | his hands in his pockets...

which was quite handy, | really.

We'd always know a way in round | the back of Hammersmith Odeon,

being our local area.

# The Jean Genie... #

David Bowie was playing | the Ziggy farewell thing,

and while the roadies | was asleep in the front row,

he'd be going around on stage | snipping all the microphones off.

We had great guitars, | amplifiers,

great drum kits, | PA system, everything,

but, you know, we couldn't | play it properly.

To prevent myself | from being beaten up

by what were Uxbridge | Teddy Boys

coming in, | pilfering in the store,

I decided to go down | another route --

rubber and leather | fetish wear.

I felt that...

that would look fun and exciting | on the King's Road

because it would have | a similar effrontery

that Teddy Boy clothes had, | except it would be new.

Malcolm's shop interested me

because of the rubber wear.

Fascinating that people can get | themselves into such a predicament

that the only way they can | have sex is in a face mask

and a rubber T-shirt.

With a bollock weight.

How does it become that way? | It becomes like that for you

because you just cannot | face reality.

Steve just came back one day, | and said,

"l found a bass player." | I said, "Who's that?"

He said, "This guy, Glen, | who works in Malcolm's shop."

Lo and behold, I started | rehearsing with them.

They had so much equipment that | Steve had "assembled," shall we say?

We were always pestering | Malcolm to manage us,

and he said he'd be interested | if we got rid of Wally.

He came down once, he said, | "You shouldn't sing,

you should play guitar. | You should get a singer."

We realized wally was gonna | have to go.

Alas, poor [ Wally ]...

I knew him, Horatio.

Round this time | there was a group of guys
