:12:01. > :13:38.Thank you, Anna Calvi, with Eliza. Now, regular viewers will notice I

:13:39. > :13:44.am bunked up, because I have a slight cold, but they say feed a

:13:45. > :13:50.cold, so I have decided to feed it with delightful music. These next

:13:51. > :13:51.artists took a year out to recharge themselves before creating a

:13:52. > :14:04.wonderful new record, MGMT. # He knows it's all right

:14:05. > :15:28.to live a life # Not knowing that your life

:15:29. > :16:20.is a lie Thank you, MGMT, Your Life Is A Lie.

:16:21. > :16:26.From the album temp -- from the album MGMT. I have a talented man in

:16:27. > :16:34.the studio, the band that they dare to call Suggs! Welcome to the show,

:16:35. > :16:46.nice to see do, I am sorry I have a cold. An amazing autobiography, you

:16:47. > :16:51.cannot put it down. It should be flunk with great force out of the

:16:52. > :16:59.train window. I saw somebody reading it like this. Fantastic. The first

:17:00. > :17:03.question has to be, why? Because he wanted to reflect on where you have

:17:04. > :17:11.been before you can move on, or because he wanted a load of money?

:17:12. > :17:20.Or both? A bit of both. A set of converging circumstances. It was my

:17:21. > :17:25.50th birthday party, I was contemplating the half-century on

:17:26. > :17:32.the planet. My cat fell off the shelf and died beside me. It was

:17:33. > :17:36.very upsetting. A portent. Given the dreadful things that may or may not

:17:37. > :17:42.have happened to me, that tipped me over the edge into contemplating

:17:43. > :17:49.what I have been doing. A lot of great things in here, it is funny

:17:50. > :17:56.and moving. You run the gamut. Where did Suggs come from? Legend has it

:17:57. > :18:01.that I decided to pick a new name for myself and I put a pin in an

:18:02. > :18:06.encyclopaedia of jazz musicians, and it stuck in the middle of the letter

:18:07. > :18:13.E of the name Peter. I thought, that is no good! Then, I read his second

:18:14. > :18:20.name, Suggs. Things fall into mythology, it was Peter Suggs, a

:18:21. > :18:32.drummer from Kentucky. He played piano as well. I wondered if there

:18:33. > :18:35.were any other parallels? Probably, but the coincidence starts to strike

:18:36. > :18:45.more coincidently, the older you get! I was just saying that! You

:18:46. > :18:54.have met so many more people, been through so many more situations.

:18:55. > :19:01.Touchingly, you have dedicated a chapter to Television Centre. You

:19:02. > :19:06.were there when it closed. I was talking to your producer, who

:19:07. > :19:10.invited us to play at the closing, and he gave me a last chapter to the

:19:11. > :19:16.book. I was finding it difficult to round off. I be lysed in the end,

:19:17. > :19:25.having closed the jubilate, the Olympics, I then closed Television

:19:26. > :19:29.Centre, which are in the market for closing things! Cyprus and the Post

:19:30. > :19:44.Office have been on the phone! We have got a clip right now.

:19:45. > :19:59.# Our house. # In the middle of our street.

:20:00. > :20:08.# Our house. # That was where we used to sleep.

:20:09. > :20:18.Also, you have been doing a fantastic one-man show, how would

:20:19. > :20:23.you describe it to people who have not seen it? A musical, semi-tragic

:20:24. > :20:31.comedy, laugh a minute, fantastic but nonsense. It is a must see. It

:20:32. > :20:39.describes my life story. If you are nervous about buying the book, come

:20:40. > :20:45.and see me in December. If they have come to see you, and they have

:20:46. > :20:49.bought the book, what do they do then? Can they go on holiday with

:20:50. > :20:54.you? Maybe we should take them on holiday together! Please do not ask

:20:55. > :21:04.me what I am doing next, it is grinding to a halt! I am finally

:21:05. > :21:07.finished, talking about myself. It is wonderful to have Suggs on the

:21:08. > :21:17.show, with his superb book. Thank you, Suggs. The greatest living

:21:18. > :21:32.Englishman! Now, an amazing singer from Brighton, Passenger.

:22:29. > :23:30.# You see her when you close your eyes

:23:31. > :23:39.# Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

:23:40. > :23:43.# Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

:26:17. > :26:31.#To shut out feeling lonely I get out of my head

:26:32. > :26:35.# Why would you want to love somebody

:26:36. > :26:52.# Free to see the world now as my own

:29:31. > :29:44.Latin world, everybody says she is marvellous, please welcome Buika.

:29:45. > :33:25.# You would be the one to come a knocking at my door

:33:26. > :33:32.# And I would be the one to let you in and nothing more

:33:33. > :33:39.# You would break the bread and we would drink the blood of Christ

:33:40. > :33:48.# Blessed are the lovers for theirs shall be the night

:33:49. > :33:54.# And in the morning you' be lying by my side

:33:55. > :34:09.# You would be the one to lay the blanket on the ground

:34:10. > :34:16.# And I would come to you but you'd be nowhere to be found

:34:17. > :34:24.# So I would turn to her for she was always, always there

:34:25. > :34:33.# Lost will be the souls of the wanton and the weak

:34:34. > :34:36.# Lost in the morning she'd be lying next to me

:34:37. > :34:54.# So then it was for me to come a calling at your window

:34:55. > :35:01.# She doesn't live here - just the thin girl

:35:02. > :36:13.# So I would lay the table and I'd wait for you to call

:36:14. > :36:45.# I became the one who sits and watches from afar

:36:46. > :36:48.# Now, who should be the one to come a striding down my street?

:36:49. > :36:51.# To what do we owe this apparent sense of urgency?

:36:52. > :36:56.# And I should be the one touched by your very presence, dear?

:36:57. > :37:08.# The longer you were gone the less the longing

:37:09. > :38:26.Thank you, Lloyd Cole, from his LP. I will be discussing things with him

:38:27. > :38:31.in a moment. Before that, we enjoyed Buika. Another woman with an amazing

:38:32. > :38:45.voice, Anna Calvi. # Crawling out

:38:46. > :38:57.you need to protect me # I'm calling out

:38:58. > :39:05.find me a stronger hand # Better confess

:39:06. > :40:57.it tastes like I'm leaving # Ashes to ashes it leaves me with

:40:58. > :41:05.nothing. # I'm falling away well, if you want

:41:06. > :41:12.it. # The touch and the spell her eyes

:41:13. > :41:14.are so wild. # We stand on the edge it tastes

:41:15. > :42:17.like I'm leaving. Anna Calvi, Suddenly. Over in this

:42:18. > :42:20.corner, I am delighted to meet the man who was performing for us so

:42:21. > :42:32.brilliantly there, for the first time on this show, Lloyd Cole.

:42:33. > :42:37.Welcome to the show. I have given my cold to Suggs! A great new record,

:42:38. > :42:46.Bob Dylan was instrumental in new putting this together? I suppose so,

:42:47. > :42:53.I reviewed Tempest last year, and I was blown away by how he does not

:42:54. > :42:57.change what he is doing. It is possible but in the last ten years I

:42:58. > :43:02.might have been too worried about what was age-appropriate music, so I

:43:03. > :43:10.decided to see what would happen if I did not think about it. You are

:43:11. > :43:15.going back to your earlier roots. It is an electric pop record, which is

:43:16. > :43:20.what I'd use today. I have been getting quieter over the years, and

:43:21. > :43:24.this is loud again. You have not been on the show before, it is nice

:43:25. > :43:31.to have you here. At the beginning of the show, we say, where would you

:43:32. > :43:38.like us to say you are from, but you wanted to be from Glasgow, New York

:43:39. > :43:44.and Buxton. Is it possible? Yes, I was born in Buxton, I am an honorary

:43:45. > :43:54.Glaswegian, and I have lived in New York for a long time. Home now is in

:43:55. > :43:58.Massachusetts. I am there purely out of inertia, I have two kids and

:43:59. > :44:04.their wife, I would rather be in Whitby. It is very nice! We have a

:44:05. > :44:19.clip of you, that have a look. # Too easily.

:44:20. > :44:57.# Too easily. What year is that? 1985.

:44:58. > :45:04.Terrifying! The same year that you saw me and Miles Davis talking on

:45:05. > :45:10.the television. It was hilarious, he wanted to talk about his drawings of

:45:11. > :45:21.his wife, primarily from behind. That did have a hand in the

:45:22. > :45:28.inspiration for the song I signed earlier, Women's Studies. I said to

:45:29. > :45:35.Miles Davis, you connect your visual art with your music? He paused, it

:45:36. > :45:48.got to the end of the interview, and he said, yeah, sure. What are you

:45:49. > :45:54.going to do for us next? An old one, Perfect Skin. A nice band you have

:45:55. > :46:03.got with you as well. It is good to see you, Lloyd Cole. Everywhere this

:46:04. > :46:06.man goes, people love him, he has been on tour with me, he is great,

:46:07. > :46:19.he is Passenger. # I know a man

:46:20. > :46:24.with nothing in his hands # He told me about

:46:25. > :46:27.when his house burnt down # They were gonna ask

:46:28. > :46:35.his mother to choose # She said one day her husband

:46:36. > :47:38.went to get a paper # Mortgage to pay

:47:39. > :47:40.and four kids to raise # She said, "The wolf's just a puppy

:47:41. > :47:42.and the door's double locked # "Now he left a hole in my heart

:47:43. > :47:45.a hole in a promise # "Oh, now that he's gone

:47:46. > :47:48.well, life carries on # "And I miss him like

:47:49. > :47:49.a hole in the head!" # Well sometimes you can't change

:47:50. > :47:56.and you can't choose # And sometimes it seems

:47:57. > :48:04.you gain less than you lose # Now we've got holes in our hearts

:48:05. > :48:12.yeah, we've got holes in our lives # Where we've got holes,

:48:13. > :48:21.we've got holes but we carry on # Where we've got holes

:48:22. > :48:24.in our hearts # Where we've got holes

:48:25. > :48:34.we've got holes but we carry on # Said we've got holes in our hearts

:48:35. > :48:40.yeah, we've got holes in our lives # Where we've got holes

:48:41. > :48:46.we've got holes but we carry on # Said we've got holes in our hearts

:48:47. > :48:53.we've got holes in our lives # We've got holes, we've got holes

:48:54. > :48:59.but we carry on # Said we've got holes

:49:00. > :49:03.in our hearts # We've got holes, we've got holes

:49:04. > :49:15.but we carry on # Said we've got holes in our hearts

:49:16. > :49:22.yeah, we've got holes in our lives # Where we've got holes

:49:23. > :49:49.we've got holes but we carry on. # Thank you, Passenger. From his

:49:50. > :50:05.album, that is Holes. Wonderful. Now, it is MGMT.

:50:06. > :51:11.MUSIC: "Plenty Of Girls In The Sea" MGMT

:51:12. > :51:15.# No it's whatever you want it to be.

:51:16. > :51:34.# There's plenty of girls in the sea.

:51:35. > :51:39.# Ah, the passionate painter will say with a brush.

:51:40. > :51:46.# "It's best to accept it and not make a fuss.

:51:47. > :51:50.# "Just cos the grass isn't green". # Yeah, there's plenty of girls in

:52:07. > :52:10.# And tend to the void don't just fill it.

:52:11. > :52:14.# The bartender concedes from inside his vest.

:52:15. > :52:19.# That none of the best ones were ever the best.
