government way conservative
In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
believe afterlife banking
I would like to believe in an afterlife; it makes things more palatable. But I'm not banking on it.
thinking important enough
Money isn't important, but you have to have enough, so you don't have to think about it. Thinking about money is a drag.
nice thinking self
If you're in a band or think of yourself as a slightly creative person, you can get quite self-indulgent, so sometimes it's nice to have those people who bring you down to earth, but in a pleasant way.
thinking people brain
Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.
song communication chocolate
I speak onstage to try to establish some method of communication. The songs are supposed to be a way of communicating. But speech and drinks and sometimes chocolates are also a way of communicating.
song nice thinking
The most entertaining songs don't always come from a nice place. In songs where I think I'm being really sensitive, they seem quite boring actually. I've found that the songs that come out of nastier, more misanthropic places are better.
world way problem
One of the problems of our modern world is that there's a lot of things to work through, but, at some point, everybody should take a pause from that and make something, so that it's not just all one-way traffic.
government alternatives conservative
A Conservative government is necessary. There is no credible alternative.
notebook ideas littles
But I've got ideas. I keep my little notebook, I've always got that with me. Hopefully there's more stuff than nonsense in there.
thinking
Don't think that the things around you don't count, because they do.
age might sexuality
I always thought that I might retire from any form of sexuality by the age of 40 and just become a dignified older person.
song writing political
I do write songs with a political dimension to them sometimes, but I'm always slightly appalled by it when I do.
consistent ifs
I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
