People want to build musicians into mythical beings.

Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing.
