So we're considering doing a new Christmas album because there's been Christmas episodes since then and maybe finally do the version of 'The Most Offensive Song Ever' with lyrics intact.

I love the sad songs with their maudlin self-deprecating almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman they make a lot of sense.

Don't call my lyrics poetry. It's an insult to real poets.

I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.

I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and more especially from her lyrics of the last generation.

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

I never really liked poetry readings I liked to read poetry by myself but I liked singing chanting my lyrics to this jazz group.

How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?

I have one piece of music since 1997 and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.

Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.
