Effigy on the Radio"Live At The Wireless" (As close a transcript as I can work out - the song words are a bit dodgy...)
Announcer
(Margetson): It's time to go "Live At The Wireless" with
Melbourne's own Effigy - the goth rockers themselves. Here they are
for the next half hour on Triple J.
["Lovers" - Live ] Pete: Hey, hello. We're Effigy, doing "Live At The Wire" on Triple J and I'm with Annie. Annie: Hello! Pete: And with Jason as well, but... can you say hello, Jas? Jason: (from the background) Hello! Pete: Yeah, there you go... Annie: The next song's called "I've Lost The Will To Give In". Pete: Yeah, its my turn to start... [ "I've Lost The Will To Give In" - Live ]
Pete: Wow! Hey, this is Effigy, on "Live At The Wireless". Annie: Triple J! Pete: Yeah, Triple J. This next song is "Moving Away" and it's about us moving from Perth to Fre... Oh, was it Perth to..? Where did we go - Melbourne? Annie: Perth - Fremantle. Perth - Fremantle. Perth - Fremantle, then Melbourne. (laughs) Pete: Yeah, there was a lot of Fremantle involved. And it's - you know - there are other ‘movings away' you can do - its not literal. Okay, I think we're ready to... [ "Moving Away" - Live ] Pete: Yah... Again, finish another song. Annie: Woooo! Pete: And another song comes to an end. Annie: And on to new songs. Pete: Yes, yes - that last song... Annie: What's next, Pete?! Pete: Hey? Annie: What's next, Pete? (definitely smirking) Pete: What's next? Annie: Yeah! Pete: Perhaps I should say that that song is off our album? Annie: Arr...yep! Off the album called "Effigy". Pete: Yeah... Annie: Available in all stores. Pete: Good - good stores! Annie: Good - bad - medico. They're all got it. You've got no excuses... Pete: No, no! There are no excuses anymore. No excuses for not owning a copy. Well, the next song is a new one that's not on the album so, if you like it - you'll just have to wait. Or come to a gig and make a bootleg copy. Annie: Or you could just press record right now! Pete: Oh, yeah - we'll give them a bit of time to find a (laughs) blank tape or something. Annie: Run, run, run. Pete: Hmm...run. This is called "Misfits". [ "Misfits" - Live ] Annie: That was called "Misfits". We're Effigy on "Live At The Wireless" on Triple J. Jason: (from the back ground) It's all a lie! It's not true! Pete: Christ! Yeah - well, umm... the next song is one you may have heard of lately, and its called "I Give In" and its hard to tell what this song is all about. I wrote about...umm, I don't know...bad stuff... Most of my stuff is about ‘bad stuff'. Annie: Little girls... Pete: From some reason, this reminds me of six years ago, which was before it was even written and its got nothing to do with it...but it always takes me back to this ‘other' horrible time. Hmm...honestly - good things happen too. It's they're not as much fun to write about. Let's do it. [ "I Give In" - Live ] Pete: That was alright then, was it? Annie: That was alright. Pete: Thanks very much for listening to us tonight. We're got one more song to do now. Annie: "Live At The Wireless" Pete: On Triple J Annie: J...j...j... Pete: Alrighty, this next song is called "Organ Hands" and its...umm...quite old. [ "Organ Hands" - Live ]
