I See It As My Duty In

The Society Of Whores Stuck Needles In An Image Of Me.

I Feel Very Much A Part Of What I'm Writing About, And I'm Writing About Things That Concern Me On A Daily Basis. I'm Not Really Interested In Writing Musical Diaries, If You Know What I Mean.

Into The Mercy Seat I Climb My Head Is Shaved, My Head Is Wired And Like A Moth That Tries To Enter The Bright Eye I Go Shuffling Out Of Life Just To Hide In Death Awhile And Anyway I Never Lied.

Outside The World Of Politics, One Person In The World Of The Arts I Would Mention As An Influence Is Nick Cave, Another Person Who Has Been Around Since The Late 1970s. He Has Developed And Changed Remarkably, Whilst Remaining True To His Vision. He Has Been A Great Help To Me As Well, Without His Knowing It.

One Thing That I'm Really Interested In Is The Kind Of Esoteric Detail That Surrounds These Great Figures. And Wikipedia Is Full Of That Kind Of Stuff, Whether It's True Or Untrue. It Staggers Me: Why, In The Short Space Assigned To A Person Or An Event, That Kind Of Random Information Is There. To Be Honest, That's Wonderful Fuel For Songwriting.
