Although I was well past my teenage troubles, our music was specifically designed to lubricate the passage from adolescence to adulthood.
I'm only interested in rites of passage stories.
Don't cry Don't raise your eye Its only teenage wasteland.
I'm an air-conditioned gypsy.
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Like so many addicts, I'd thought that if I could only sort out my life, I could then sort out my drinking. It was a revelation to see that it would be simpler the other way around
