There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

The internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.

Most of the lyrics are rooted in my own experiences. But there is some sheer fabrication.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

When I've got massive projects to be getting on with, I find myself open to distractions, particularly when deadlines are involved.

It'd be tricky to read into my lyrics - some are autobiographical, but sometimes I just like the sound of words.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.
