Rocket Man, Burning Out His Fuse Up

I Never Thought Of Myself As Being Handsome Or Good-looking Or Whatever.

Basically, I Wanted Redemption For The Way I Lived My Life Beforehand, And That Was The Drugs, The Drink, The Loose Sex, Whatever.

Oh Teacher, I Need You Like A Little Child, You Got Something In You To Drive A School Boy Wild.

It's Awful To Be Afraid Of Sex, But I'm Afraid That's What The '50s Did To People. It Was Just Sex Is Disgusting, It Shouldn't Be Talked About. Nudity Is Disgusting, We Just Don't Talk About Those Kinds Of Things.

I've Got To Think About What I'm Going To Say Very Carefully. There's Two Avenues Of Thought: Do You Stop Everyone Going, Ban All The Artists Coming In From Russia? But Then You're Really Leaving The Men And Women Who Are Gay And Suffering Under The Antigay Laws In An Isolated Situation. As A Gay Man, I Can't Leave Those People On Their Own Without Going Over There And Supporting Them. I Don't Know What's Going To Happen, But I've Got To Go.
