50 Percent Of The People I Perform

I'm Looking Back To A Period Of My Life When I Was Badly Hurt And Then Looking At Another Time When I Felt I Had Things Going For Me Again, So I Suppose There Is A Theme [of The Faith Album].

I Guess I Was About 15. I Wore Glasses At The Time, And I Remember [first Girlfriend] Sitting On The Floor At A Party, One Of Those School Parties Where Everyone Is Getting Off With Each Other. I Remember Her Taking My Glasses Off And Saying Something Very Complimentary About My Eyes Or Whatever, And I Was Just So Pissed Off Because I Was Convinced She Was Taking The Piss Out Of Me.

I've Never Done Anything So Political Before. I've Spent Years Shouting My Mouth Off About Serious Issues Over Dinner Tables But Never Really Had The Confidence To Express My Views In A Song.

It Does Bother Me When They [tabloids] Drag Friends Of Mine Into It And Talk About Them And Lie About Them. My Friends Have No Part In It; They're Not Celebrities, So Why Should They Have To Accept The Downside Of Celebrity? That Worries Me For A Bit.

I've Done Too Many Stupid Things For There Not To Be Movies Made About Me When I'm Dead, So I Might As Well Write The Script.
