 [bad word] from an audience member) 
How can you ... songs without making love? 

(various [bad word] from audience, ending in a honking sound and laughter) 
I'd like YOU [bad word] back tomorrow when you've sobered up. 
Apparently you believe that it is a mark of .. intoxication to want to make love to people you find 
attractive. I mean how long are you, how long are you gonna gone on enduring this city. Pardon? 

(Audience member says: "We came here to see you sing, not to watch you make love") 
I came here to make love! (applause) 

I mean really, I want to ask you seriously .. would you rather hear me sing, or make love? OK, make 
love. OK. I mean I'm not the mad one, you know. I've taken nothing, you know .. just a little banzite(?) 
and a little wine. little acid. 

(Audience member says: "how much you earn ..") 
I mean, I know where I am. I know that when [bad word] into a place like this [bad word] here to make love. I  [bad word] here to feel other people, the possibility of them making love. I'm sorry, that's the way it is 
with me. I started to sing with an idea that my songs could bring people into that. We live in cities, 
we pass THOUSANDS of strangers every day. The only way the cities will ever be redeemed is if people can 
approach each other on the streets for the sole and singular purpose of making love. (applause) 

I'll tell you another thing. All the programmes of ecology, all the programmes of slum clearance, all 
the programmes of aid to the poor and the correction of poverty will not take place, will fail .. until 
we understand the purpose, why we have gathered in these vast numbers. In places on this planet. The 
reason we have gathered in these dense masses in city after city is so that we can explode old notions 
of what love is. 

Forget the singing, forget the concert, forget the [bad word] ... forget the .. the whole thing. And .. 
 [bad word] from the audience) 
Pardon? 
 [bad word] from the audience) 
OK. OK. 
 [bad word] from the audience: "Sing, that's what we came here for.") 

If you listen to me sing .. and you can't listen to me talk .. what you're hearing is a lie. You have 
made a .. (applause) 

This is what I'm singing about.
