    Steve lent me a couple of his guitars to record with years ago when we rehearsed in the same studio in Kings Heath, Birmingham. One was a 12 string Rickenbacker, sounded like god but played like a dog, and the other was the acoustic he’s playing here or one very similar. Astounding guitar - played itself. Nice guy and a great guitarist.
    Simon, on the other hand, suggested I call my then new band Big Bollocks. I didn’t.

      Tbh some of the lines are almost fast flow raps. I know the words but when it comes on the radio (fuck Sky and Virgin it's all about Absolute 😀) I can easily sing the wrong bits in the wrong places
      "Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove and frees an eagle instead"
      "Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars and his double"
      Those bits always trip me up lmao 😅
