You know hearts these days are cheap.

My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins.

It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.

Some guys they just give up living, and start dying little by little, piece by piece.

Don't run back inside, darlin', you know just what I'm here for. So you're scared and you're thinkin' we ain't that young any more...Show a little faith! There's magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're all right.

What excites me about a lot of the artists I love - and I realize, well, they created their own personal world that I could enter into through their music and through their songwriting. There's people that can do it instrumentally, like Jimi Hendrix or Edge of U2 or Pete Townshend. I didn't have as unique - a purely musical signature. I was a creature of a lot of different influences.

I think that, when you're writing your songs, there's always a debate about whether, is that you in the song? Is it not you in the song?
