Interviews - Please Violence
w

Neil was the last track to be written for Please.

Chris It was inspired by a sound on the PPG. It's the bass sound on the record. Actually, the same sound is also used for the organ. It sounds quite soulful.

Neil My vocal is really thin sounding on this. Helena Springs sings on it as well. In the instrumental middle bit we are still in 'Axel F' tempter. It's about Northern Ireland. At this time there were bombs in London. It was also partly inspired by another Penelope Spheres film, The Boys Next Door, which is about two teenagers who go up to lots of people in Los Angeles shopping malls. Chris said I should put in 'violence breeds violence'.

Chris 'Violence breeds violence'. It's a bit like 'War is stupid', isn't it?

Neil I always thought it was a bit of a corny line but I couldn't think of anything else. I like the last verse best. The song is really about how violence is male. It's a male concept. A friend of ours who was in jail when this album came out said that everyone in his prison loved this - they thought it was the best track on the album. I don't think they thought it was glorifying violence. I think they liked the fact that it was hard.
