Fight For The Right To

My Mum Died When I Was 14. That Is A Kind Of Strange Age To Lose A Mother. John Lost His Mum When He Was 17.

At The Office Where The Paper Grows, She Takes A Break, Drinks Another Coffee, And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake. It's Just Another Day.

I Did Cocaine For About A Year Around The Time Of Sgt Pepper. Coke And Maybe Some Grass To Balance It Out. I Was Never Completely Crazy With Cocaine. I'd Been Introduced To It And At First It Seemed Ok, Like Anything That's New And Stimulating. When You Start Working Your Way Through It, You Start Thinking: 'mmm, This Is Not So Cool An Idea,' Especially When You Start Getting Those Terrible Comedowns.

People Who Paint, Including Myself, Get To A Point Where A Bit Of Angst Comes In. If You're Doing It For A Living, It's Worth It To Suffer Those Slings And Arrows.

I Think The Idea Of Getting Out Of A Traffic Jam And Getting Out Of Work Each Week And Going And Doing All This Stuff Would Be Really Exhausting.
