I Used To Drink A Lot. I

In Scotland, Beautiful As It Is, It Was Always Raining. Even When It Wasn't Raining, It Was About To Rain, Or Had Just Rained. It's A Very Angry Sky.

I Used To Drink A Lot. I Had To Stop Drinking Because It Was Getting The Better Of Me, And I Replaced That With Really Doing Shows.

As You Get Older You Don't Want To Just Do The Same Thing, Otherwise There's Not Much Point. I Think It's More Or Less Trying To Write Things That, Perhaps, Say More By Doing Less, Or You're Always Trying To Refine Things, Make Things A Little Simpler, A Little More Essential.

I Sit Around And Play Acoustic Guitar - Usually Acoustic, Sometimes Electric, Occasionally Piano, But More Often Guitar, Just Trying To Come Up With Tunes. Ideas Kind Of Pop Into Your Head.

I Like To Let The Songs Speak So That They Can Go Through Some Kind Of Rebirth As You Play Them.
