I May Sing The Same Songs For

I Did Have A Life Before The Animals, And I'm Trying Constantly To Prove That I Have A Life After The Animals. People Tend To Forget That I Was The Frontman With War For Two Years. People Sort Of Have Compartmental Memories.

The Animals Were Their Own Worst Enemy. The Animals Were A Band That Couldnt Live Up To Their Name. I Was The Singer In The Band And As Long As I Was Enjoying Myself I Would Keep On Working With The Band. But It Got To Be Rather Nasty Once The Big Money Showed Up - Things Started To Turn Toxic.

I Look Upon The Animals, They Were A Great Band Initially, We Left Our Mark, But Thing Was It Was A Band That Couldn't Live Up To Its Name So I Soldiered On. On One Level, It Was Devastating For A While. On Another Level, Maybe I Should Thank Them For Helping Me Make My Own Way In My Own Career.

I'm Really Still A Child Of The Forties. I Still Think About It A Lot, About The Repercussions Of Armed Conflict. Until 1953 We Had Rationing. We Couldn't Buy Meat, We Couldn't Buy Pleasurable Goods Like Cigarettes And Sweets. I Didn't Starve - My Family Were Lucky - But I Knew What It Was Like Standing In Line Waiting For Foodstuffs.

The Rock Biz Is The Low End Of The Creative World. Faces Come And Go So Fast.
