Chris and Neil board a jet for a late-night flight from Chile to New Zealand for their first-ever concert in the latter country.

(More about that on March 28.)

I’m not one of those
tall thin men who like show tunes
I’m not that twee
Carousel is
— Les Mis as well is -
living hell for me
’Cause I’m not one of those tall thin men who likes
show tunes
on the West End stage
Ute Lemper
puts me in a temper
and so does Elaine flaming Paige
I would rather go clubbing
than sit through for Phantom or Cats
They’re so sad
I get mad
and never ever wanna
listen to Madonna
singing “Don’t cry for me, Argentina”
Gimme “Get into the groove”
some house or garage
a banging barrage
of mixing to make me move
…
