But you make me sing like a guitar humming . . .

My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.

I couldn't resist. I went over and joined in, and we just sang the song together, ... They had no idea that I had written it, or who I was. I was just some weird guy who wanted to join in on the singing.

Shame, it comes in every size, touches many lives, knocks on many doors.

I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

Over the years, you grow up, you mature and you see things in a different way, and it's reflected in the writing.
