Two

HUGH LAURIE! Two words that strike a cord in the heart of every sensitive 22 year old man in the country. Paul Holmes of ABC fame not Prime TV "fame" is thinking about playing Season One of House (24ish episodes I think) at hos place before Ruth leaves. I told him I would see if anyone was interested. Comment if interested . Also I'll give a present to anyone who can say what colour my eyes are. Go.

Part One of

I'm sure this song must be in some way inspired by guys in the God squad.

STEADY AS SHE GOES - The Raconteurs

Find yourself a girl, and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well here we go again, you've found yourself a friend, that knows you well
But no matter what you do, you'll always feel as though the truth has failed

So steady as she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue

Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well here we go again, you've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do, it always feels as though the truth ends
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Settle for a girl from the upper-town
Send it to the crowd that's gathered round
Settle for a girl from the upper-town
Send it to the crowd that's gathered round

So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)


Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes

I dig most of this

Punk, what is punk? What does it mean? Who’s the first punk band? Who’s king of the punks? Who’s this, who’s that? Stuff all that. I don’t know what that title meant in the first place. It just appeared one day in Melody Maker Magazine, a journalist called Caroline Coon with a picture of me, I can’t remember what was next to it, some other duffo article. But it had “King of the Punks” and my face, I was furious. I had no idea. Punk? What? I’m being labeled now, being given a category, by people I haven’t even spoken to, who haven’t asked me. No, I’m a human being. I don’t like categories. When I buy music, I don’t go to the this section and then that section. List it by names not categories.

Those categories are killing us all, killing us off. And somehow they created a new market of crossover acts that combine this category with that category and that’s a false genre. You understand, that’s like, that’s like a wisp of two other shadows put together, you don’t need it. You should have your own original thoughts, first and foremost. Why are the Sex Pistols original, why is PIL original? Why is anything we do original? Cause we’re no good. We can’t copy, bugger all. And you shouldn’t need to. The power and glory of music is that it’s an honest thought. It’s not about note perfect, it never ever has been, all the best music in the world is practically nearly unmusical. It’s about feeling, drama, content. If you want to know what punk is its real emotion, it’s not studded belts, and legs apart and tuff looks and silly eye-liner make-up. That isn’t punk. That’s plunk.

The secret to being perfectly content is to never ask any questions.
