Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.
I try to write conversationally; I try to write like people speak and put the emphasis on the right syllable.
I was either standing in your shadow, or blocking your light; Though I kept on trying I could not get it right; For you, girl There's just not enough love in the world
Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Proverb Don't look back, you can never look back.
I could stand out front and sing Eagles songs that I sing in my set, but I think people enjoy watching me sing and play the drums. It seems to fascinate people. I don't know why.
A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun.
It's time to get down to the heart of the matter. And I think it's about forgiveness?even if you don't love me any more.
I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
No one in this country need go hungry, and alleviating the problem is primarily a matter of readjusting our priorities. In both the government and the private sector, self-interest has displaced the ideal of community that made this country great. The old world view of "us, we, our" has been replaced by "I, me, mine." The reasons for this are manifold and complex, but at the end of the day, we need to remember that, if one of us is suffering needlessly, all of us are diminished.
In forty-five minutes, it'll all be done. We'll all be good and crispy, but we'll still be number one.
I was flying back from Lubbock and I saw Jesus on the plane, or maybe it was Elvis. You know, they kind of look the same.
If dirt were dollars, I wouldn't have to worry anymore.
O' beautiful for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away this sin We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass wave in the wind Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair spill all around me Offer up your best defence But this is the end This is the end of the innocence
It was a pretty good year for predators.
