Art For Fuck's Sake

About Me

so..........it starts with anger!........
......for the last couple of years I've been getting angry!......mostly with myself......
angry for smoking too much
angry for eating too much
angry for not singing enough
angry for hiding in my bedroom, all alone, making music that I'm never gonna play for anyone except a select few friends and.....some people I don't even know!
angry for squandering a GOD GIVEN TALENT!!
angry for being afraid........of everything
angry everytime I open a newspaper or music mag, turn on the telly or the internet, talk on the phone or meet old friends and get despondant.....'cos everyone else is doing soooo well!
angry for drinking too much
angry for every night I go to the pub and get so pissed I don't even know who I am...or...who I used to be....or who I could be!
........you know........angry!
so......at my 40th birthday somebody asked me "When are you making your album?...('cos everyone else is!)"......I tought nothing about it for a couple of weeks but it seemed to settle somewhere in the belly of my conscience
so..............after years of faffin' around I've said "Fuckit!" and I've started
I've no fucking money so I don't know how I'm gonna put it out........but that'll be all part of the adventure
so.......................
