BC: So, um, coming up pretty soon, we’re gonna do one of those VH1 Storyteller thingies.  So um, as a way of practicing, I’ll tell you what this next song is about.  This next song was written for the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Goading [unintelligible].  This isn’t very good for TV, you can’t cheer, see.  You have to let me do my spiel, then you cheer.  We’re on TV, it’s pretending.  Anyway.  So um, I used to sit up in my living room and play the piano and stare out the window and um, during the height of the Mellon Collie madness, I had three stalkers, all of them male, which I’m not very proud of.  And uh, you know you sit in your house and you play the piano and you stare across the street and you see these young men stalking you and you think “What have I actually said to make them want to stalk me?” - you know?

BC: I would like to think they wanted more than that.  But you could be right.  So I wrote this next song and I was sort of searching for a title and I thought to myself that I was probably saying too much and that’s what was sort of attracting these lunatics - or fine young men, depending on how you look at it - to me and so that’s how I came up with the title because I thought I really should shut the fuck up and not say these things.  So, I don’t really know where that story went but for those young men out in the audience, when you hear this song, if you’re attracted to this song, I’m sure there’s other alternative rock icons who want your attention.

BC: Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Thank you for a great concert.  Thank you for a wonderful evening.  Thank you.  We don’t know when we’re gonna be back this way again so thank you for coming tonight.  Thank you.
