You can give support, but they’ve got to do it themselves. Even if you know what’s wrong, you can’t tell ’em. I see what they’re going through, and think, God, if I could help them… but you can’t ever help somebody sort out their internal life. I have friends who are in similar situations I draw from people I know. But it doesn’t mean I don’t take it seriously. God, right, let it pour out – aaargghh! No, not at all. So this isn’t you probing your heart and soul? See, I know how that feels, but it’s not part of my current situation. And boy, was the flame dead! So in this case on the album the guy’s thinking about a girl he knew many years ago, and she was ‘the great mistake he never made’. But there was a time in my life where I was desperately in love with a girl – and I met her, as it happens, quite a number of years later. No, no – because there’s one song where I’m talking about how we’ve got to break this relationship up, y’know – and please don’t read things into that! My wife and I are extremely happy I’d like to state quite publicly – haw, haw.
