God Help the Girl
1
You could argue even, you know,
Nick Drake's mystique is a lot
to do with him not being around,
d'ya know what I mean?
If Nick Drake was now
on Chatty Man with Alan Carr,
talking about his new record,
that mystique would
be dissipated, wouldn't it?
No, you're absolutely right,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
you know what I mean?
- He's frozen at that moment.
- Ian Curtis.
And it's a slender body of work,
Ian Curtis has got two albums.
And of course, people who never
knew the band at the time,
guys our age, "Blimey did you
ever see Joy Division?"
I said, "Yeah, about 30 times,
they were always around,
I was bored with them," but the
mystique builds inextricably.
Starting to think that
is rather a kind of tired,
bourgeois thing to do.
- What are you saying?
- I'm not saying anything, mate.
Anyway, this is Findley
and Donovan
and coming up later,
Wobbly Legged Rat, who,
if you've been a regular
listener to this show,
you'll know we're very keen on.
Looking forward very much
to seeing them
tomorrow, live in Glasgow.
And later on in this show,
we have Gabriel and Damascus.
I'm bored out my mind
Too sick to even care
I'll take a little walk
Nobody's going to know
I'm in senior ward
It gives you
a little free time
I'll just use it all at once
Took the fence and the lane
The bus then the train
Bought an Independent to make
me look like I got brains
I made a story up in my head
I'm going to a seminar
I'm a genius
I'm a prodigy
I'm up for a prize
If you gotta
grow up sometime
You have to do it
on your own
to be stuck
That's the way that things
were going
The Bible's my tool
There's no mention of school
My Damascan Road's
a transistor radio
I tune in at night when my mum
and my dad start to fight
I put on my headphones
And I tune out
I am devout
The girls'll sing about
my life
But they're not here,
they've got the wild life
If you want to find out,
find out
You have to look them
in the eye
That's why my only choice
Is find the face
behind the voice
I know what they're after
This life is kind of boring
Kids don't want you
He's gotta play
the record, hey
The kids are gonna want you
Thank you, thank you, people.
This song is for you.
Eins, zwei, drei, vier!
Oh yeah
Hello, we are King James
the Sixth from Scotland.
Yeah, we're just... we're kind of
trying that name out,
so if you get any ideas,
just shout them out.
All right!
Come on, get started!
Right, just...
We want Anton!
I want Anton!
One fine day,
I'm gonna run with the deer
I'm gonna swim
like a swimming thing
I've had it with this,
girl, I've had it with you
At least look at me when
I say that we're through
And I'm done
This is actually...
it's quite a good song
if we could play it.
All I can hear
is the bloody drums.
Ow.
Fight, fight, fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
You're a bloody
tea drinker, pal.
You shouldn't be in a band!
Are you okay?
You're the guy from the fight.
My guitar got it worse.
You don't look so good.
Morning.
I was just gonna come
and check your pulse,
see if you were still alive.
Who are you again?
Oh, James, the guitar player.
So, do you have a job or do you
just make money playing guitar?
No, I work at the university
swimming pool.
- I'm a lifeguard.
- Lifeguard.
I see, you're always
saving people.
Grab the ring and just calmly
swim back.
Here is the safeness.
