We Want Flesh, Flesh For

I'm Not Talking With An American Accent. I Haven't Gone Off And Become Sammy Hagar.

When I Started Out, Everyone Seemed To Be Adopting These Names... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I Wasn't Really Rotten Or Vicious Or Nasty, So I Wanted Something A Bit More Funny - Yet Something That Seemed Real Rock 'n' Roll... Something That Acknowledged My Ambition.

My Hair Used To Be Real Long, And My Parents Were Encouraged When I Cut It. They Thought I Was Going 'straight,' But I Was Just Getting Weirder - At Least In Their Eyes. I Was Getting Into The Punk Thing.

I Am Quite A Romantic Person, Really, And I Should Have Put That Into My Music Earlier, But I Was Probably Denying It... I Didn't Want To Be Soft Because I Felt I Had To Be So Hard To Get People To Believe In Me.

Part Of The Punk Attitude Was That You Should Project Your Music Through Your Whole Body... Show Your Personality As Much As Possible.
