Q: You use passages of French texts in your new album, in 'Perfect Love Gone Wrong', just like you had done in 'Mercury Falling' with 'La Belle Dame Sans Regret'. Was that a concession to commercial?
Maybe. On that song I sing from the perspective of a dog. I love my owner but she has a boyfriend and I'm terribly jealous. I try to express my jealousy but she doesn't understand. She gets angry and starts shouting at me, in French. I don't understand her, there's a communication problem, so the two languages allow me to express that.
