From the dark end of the street - To the bright side of the road - We'll be lovers once again on the - Bright side of the road

If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?

It's the emotion...each word has got a connotation and symbolism and the thing is finding what's behind the word-what meaning it has and what emotion. I'm really into vocal repetition as a definite art form.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.

The trip had become boring. It wasn't exciting anymore to totally be a singer/songwriter because it wasn't working for me.

I thought of collaborating with other people which still might happen at this point. It might not. I was just trying to break the cycle because I had gotten to a point where I was definitely sure that I was on the wrong track after about 16 years.

I don't have any regrets about the album [Veedon Fleece]. But it's the same old story - an album is basically 35 or 40 minutes of what you do. It's 'part' of what you do.
