Shakespeare, He's In The Alley With His

I Was Never A Topical Songwriter.

Oh, Time Is Short And The Days Are Sweet And Passion Rules The Arrow That Flies.

A Record ... Is A Statement, It's Its Own Statement, Its Own Entity, Rather Than Being About Something Else. If I Was A Painter ... I Don't Paint The Chair, I Would Paint Feelings About The Chair.

My Guard Stood Hard When Abstract Threats, Too Noble To Neglect, Deceived Me Into Thinking, I Had Something To Protect.

People Have A Hard Time Accepting Anything That Overwhelms Them.
