The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
Let light hearts remake us.
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.
They used to laugh at me when I refused to ride on all those double decker buses, all because there was no driver on the top.
Inside your own self pity there you swim, in sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you, and only with your laughter can you win.
I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
But now it's just another show, you leave em laughing when you go. And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy.
When you reach that kind of successful pinnacle, it is the nature of the business and the press and everything that they go about tearing you down.
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
