Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!

Turn the other cheek too often and you get a razor through it.

Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.

It's a repressive society where you can't be horrible, I'm not horrible, they made me horrible, I'm just honest.

It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.

I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.

Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
