beautiful morning party
As musicians it's often difficult. You go to a dinner party and most people treat you like some kind of exotic animal and in a way like you don't have any problems and that it's all fantastic and glamorous and that you wake up in the morning, you kick the groupies out of bed, you roll onto the floor onto a needle, right, which fills you with a lovely substance, you roll into the gutter and you stare at the moon and out comes beautiful poetry. The fact of the matter is that that's nonsense. It's a lot of hard work.
beautiful people cases
When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.
beautiful emotions exciting music strong
To write beautiful music and communicate real emotion, and to play strong and exciting gigs. That is now our drug.
america challenged liked manson mores

bleed cutting eating frequently grips humble letting love open point seem songs trying vein view
Most of these are love songs where I'm trying to come to grips with relationships. They're frequently told from the point of view of ex-lovers, so at first it may seem like I'm being arrogant, but actually I'm eating humble pie. I'm cutting open a vein and letting it bleed for you.
cause clothes kinda wear

sex thinking missing
What's missing is the music. I'd like to rant on and on about the music, the mechanics of it. It's what I think about 90 per cent of the day. I don't think about getting high all the time. I guess I do think about sex a lot, though...
way attractive found
I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.
two taste rubbish
I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.
desire songwriting
A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!
change tired confusing
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.
thinking people facts
I like the fact that people either think I'm incredibly gorgeous or flippin ugly.
writing honest songwriting
Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
