The passing of time and all of its crimes is making me sad again. The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes is making me sad again. But don't forget the songs that made you cry and the songs that saved your life.. Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine. But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

I always seem to be singing against the grain.

Burn down the disco Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life

I'm not very good at being dull.

Popular music is slowly being laid to rest in every conceivable way... the ashes are already about us if we could but notice them.

I think I'm a realist. Which people who don't like me consider to be pessimism. It isn't pessimism at all. If I was a pessimist I wouldn't get up, I wouldn't shave, I wouldn't watch Batman at 7:30 a.m. Pessimists just don't do that sort of thing.
