THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN & MY BLOODY VALENTINE
I am screaming,
ripping myself apart
inside and out -
clinging to a smile
begging for a minute more
of careless laughter
and unconditional love
I am sobbing,
crying out for mercy,
tearing up at the thought
of my father offering
a helping hand,
a promise,
and forgiveness
for all the times I wasn’t strong
for all the times I wasn’t him
I am dying
I am weak
I am the definition of failure
and I couldn’t be more sorry
In his first interview for 12 years, My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields talks to Paul Lester about his madness, making Alan McGee cry - and how his house got full of chinchillas.
