people records
I'm playing to the sort of people who like the same records.
couple thinking self
Even if I was really prolific - which I'm not - I think I'd always put at least a couple of covers on my record. I think it's a sort of healthy thing to do. It shows that you're not totally self-obsessed.
sweet understanding causes
So where are the strongAnd who are the trusted?And where is the harmony?Sweet harmony -'cause each time I feel it slippin away, it just makes me wanna cry:What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love, and Understanding?
order certain wanted
I felt that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to do certain things, and one of them was to have a hit in my own right. At least one.
rocks littles rock-n-roll
These days, rock 'n' roll is much more about rock than about roll. I don't do rock. But I'm interested in that roll part, because that's the funny little bit that makes it hip.
song knows
You've got to really know your song, inside and out.
world welcome domination
If anyone comes along, I'm more than happy to welcome them, but I'm not interested in world domination.
artist careers people
I knew how the suits used to talk about the artists, with barely concealed contempt. So I knew what was waiting for me round the corner. Because I wasn't one of those very unusual people like Neil Diamond or Elton John, whose careers just seem to span the decades. I knew I wasn't one of them.
artist numbers appeals
The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.
outsiders mainstream felt
I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.
believe waiting enough
I suppose I was waiting until I was old enough to have some sort of experience to sing about. When you're young, it's hard to sing the blues. Nobody believes you.
girl character gun
And there were sort of three toys for boys and three toys for girls. And the boys I can remember was, well, there was a Dan Dare Ray Gun. Dan Dare was a sort of a cartoon character. He was just sort of a - he was like a Battle of Britain fighter pilot, only in space.
lonely glasses needs
I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.
military two band
Be a military flier or be in a band; those were the two hippest things I could imagine.
