To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted. But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts.
Fame, on its best day, is kind of like a friendly wave from a stranger by the side of the road. And when it's not so good, it's like a long walk home, all alone, with nobody in when you get there.
You can beat the drum so hard that people stop listening. I wanted to use my voice wisely and not expend it wastefully.
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.
The artists we love, they put their fingerprint on your imagination, and on your heart and your soul.
The criminal ineptitude makes you furious.
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
I want a thousand guitars . . .
The only thing I can say about having this type of success is that you can get yourself in trouble because basically the world is set open for you. People will say yes to anything you ask, so it's basically down to you and what you want or need.
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
Let there be sunshine, let there be rain, let the broken hearted love again.
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty. And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I always write with an audience in mind. If I feel that [connection] coming back at me then I feel like I'm doing my job. That's why people come to my music - for some emotional experience or a perspective, either on their own lives, or on the world that they're living in.
I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling, than know the emptiness that your heart must hide.
