music book reason
With no reason to hide these words I feel, and no reason to talk about the books I read, but still, I do.
music i-like-you like-you
You're not right in the head, and nor am I, and this is why....this is why I like you.
music hurt growing-up
Disappointment came to me, and booted me, and bruised and hurt me, but that's how people grow up.
music can-do i-can
I can chase you, and I can catch you, but there is nothing I can do to make you mine.
music stills mines
I still don't belong to anyone - I am mine.
music prostitution organised
Madonna is closer to organised prostitution than anything else.
music assassins british-politics
The only thing that could possibly save British politics would be Margaret Thatcher's assassin.

The fascinating thing about human beings is that they don't last, and everything eventuates, and everything is very, very brief. And even if you do manage to look reasonably well as you age, unfortunately you are attacked at every level by illness and so forth. It's a fact of life.
thinking effort sound
I don't think I've ever made a conscious effort to alter the sound. I don't see the point. I have to remain true to how I sing. I'm perfectly happy with what I am. Whatever that is.
dream song people
I am stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.
