If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
Tony Blair is a brilliant politician. Unfortunately, his legacy is entwined with George W. Bush because of Iraq.

I remember the 70s constantly being winter in Manchester and the Irish community in Manchester closing ranks because of the IRA bombings in Birmingham and Manchester, and you know the bin-workers' strike, all wrapped up in it... They were violent times. Violence at home and violence at football matches.Collection: Football

Take the time to make some sense for what you wanna say, And cast your words away upon the waves. Sail them home with acquiesce on a ship of hope today, And as they land upon the shore, Tell them not to fear no more.

There's four and twenty million doors On life's endless corridor, So say it loud and sing it proud today.Collection: Home
I like being famous. It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes.Collection: Pain

It's not going to f... happen, is it? Keane doing "Somewhere Only We Know" and some Japanese businessman going: "Aw, look at him...we should really f... drop that debt, you know." It's not going to happen, is it?Collection: Dream
