| 'Punkrock changed my life.' | |
| 'Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up, she said that Lex had gone to sleep and wasn't waking up.' | |
| 'I barely know who you are, but I'll break your heart and then I'll sleep in your car.' | |
| 'I’m going to end my days in a house with high windows on the quiet shores in the South-West.' | |
| 'And in the end at least you never try to f**k my friends.' | |
| 'We're almost on the guest list, but we're always stuck in traffic.' | |
| 'He said he’s not for sale, said that he felt hounded, crowded and surrounded by this life he didn’t choose.' | |
| 'I'm bored of this town, bored of this scene, bored of these people, yeah.' | |
| 'Yeah by idiot f**king hippies in fifty different factions, locked inside some kind of sixties battle re-enactment.' | |
| 'All the things I ever wanted, better than the powder and pills.' | |
| 'And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff this year. It's clear we're getting older and it shows.' | |
| 'But oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in love.' | |
| 'I could have played safe, but in the end the journey's brought joys that outweigh the pain.' | |
| 'It seems a little bit rich to me the way the rich only ever talk of charity' | |
| 'Everybody thinks they’ll be the man, including the girls.' | |
| 'So saddle up your horses and keep your powder dry, because the truth is you won't be here long, soon you're going to die.' | |
| 'So if ever a man should ask you for your business, or your name, tell him to go and f**k himself, tell his friends to do the same.' | |
| 'And suddenly it’s as clear as clear could be: I’m not quite the perfect man that I hoped I’d be.' | |

| 'I'd have to learn to swim, Much better than my doggy-paddle way.' | |
| 'So when I get out my guitar tonight to do what I do. Remember, I probably didn’t write this song for you.' | |
| 'He's crap at dancing, and he can't hold his drink.' | |
| 'Friday evening barely even begins before my phone begins to ring with people asking where I am.' | |
| 'I’ve got friends who are bankers, and it’s an easy rhyme to call them wankers.' | |
| 'Hold your goddamn tongue, you forget yourself.' | |
| 'I've proved prudent taking toothpaste to the pub.' | |
| 'But no one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.' | |
| 'If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then, I have to start moving again.' | |
| 'And there’s no such thing as rock stars, there’s just people who play music, and some of them are just like us, and some of them are d**ks.' | |
| 'And I am finally seeing, why I was the one worth leaving' | |
| 'I travelled 40,000 miles last year and I'm working on the same again.' | |
| 'I keep nearly missing you around corners and in passing trains.' | |
| 'But life is too long to just sing the one song, so we'll burn like a beacon and then we'll be gone.' | |
| 'But it was a bit of a disaster because. I did the sides with kitchen scissors.' | |
| 'I will save my soul in the arms of Isabel.' | |
| 'And that's the way that a French kiss from an English boy can capture a Parisian girl.' | |
| 'Nebraska is just a bunch of songs, all the way in Hampshire is where I belong.' | |
