Paul And I Know Each Other On

As A Kid I Had A Dream - I Wanted To Own My Own Bicycle. When I Got The Bike I Must Have Been The Happiest Boy In Liverpool, Maybe The World. I Lived For That Bike. Most Kids Left Their Bike In The Backyard At Night. Not Me. I Insisted On Taking Mine Indoors And The First Night I Even Kept It In My Bed.

I'd Always Felt Repressed. We Were All So Pressurised That There Was Hardly Any Chance Of Expressing Ourselves, Especially Working At That Rate, Touring Continually And Always Kept In A Cocoon Of Myths And Dreams.

Now, In The Sixties We Were Naive, Like Children. Everybody Went Back To Their Rooms And Said 'we Didn't Get A Wonderful World Of Just Flowers And Peace And Happy Chocolate, And It Won't Be Just Pretty And Beautiful All The Time,' And Just Like Babies Everyone Went Back To Their Rooms And Sulked. 'we're Going To Stay In Our Rooms And Play Rock And Roll And Not Do Anything Else, Because The World's A Nasty Horrible Place, Because It Didn't Give Us Everything We Cried For.' Right? Crying For It Wasn't Enough.

Happiness Is Inside You, Not With Another Person

In One Way, I Was Always Hip. I Was Hip In Kindergarten. I Was Different From The Others. There Was Something Wrong With Me, I Thought, Because I Seemed To See Things People Didn't See. I Always Saw Things In A Hallucinatory Way.
