I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

I think making things that aren't necessarily shiny, happy feelings, putting them in that environment is sometimes an easy way to deal with the ugliness. Like, I know that as a kid, that I found - I think I learned this a bit from my mother - that if I could be as warm around strangers, no matter how strange or what different environment I was in, that people tended to be warm back.

I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside.

What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.

Everything good needs replacing
