I Think I'm Probably A Very Sad Man Wrapped In A Very Joyful Package, And I Think I'm Very Resilient, And I Think I'm Quite Generous, Sometimes To A Fault. And I'm Very Bad With Money, But I Don't See That Too Much Of A Flaw.

Take These Chances Place Them In A Box Until A Quieter Time Lights Down, You Up And Die

Life Goes On, End Of Tunnel, Tv Set Spot In The Middle Static Fade, Statistic Bit And Soon I Fade Away, Fade Away

The Saddest Part Of The Human Race Is We're Obsessed With This Idea Of 'us And Them,' Which Is Really A No-win Situation, Whether It's Racial, Cultural, Religious Or Political.

The Idea That We're Somehow Centrally Important To The Planet's Existence Is Pretty Comical - Although I'd Like Us To Be.

We Give The Podium To A Lot Of People Who Shouldn't Have The Podium. The Message That's Delivered The Loudest And In The Most Entertaining Way Is The One That We're Going To Put On Because That's What We Want. We Want Ratings More Than We Want To Deliver Information. That's Just Where The Culture's Gotten.

I'm From A Very Politically And Socially Conscious Family. My Mother Always Made A Point Of Making Us Look At What Was Going On Around Us And Take Stock Of Our Part In It.

Because One Of The Properties Of Music Is To Entertain And To, I Don't Mean This Lightly, Distract Us From The Things That Pull Us Down. Music Should Be Not Only A Source For Political Ideas But Also A Source Of Hope.

I Hate To Admit It, But We're Badass.

What I Want Is What I've Not Got, But What I Need Is All Around Me.

The Idea Of God As A Fatherly Figure Who Looks Down On Us And Worries About How We're Doing Or Takes Sides When We Have Fights - It's More Irritating Than Santa Claus. The World And The Universe Are Far More Wonderful If There's Not A Puppet Master.

In So Many Areas Of Life, I'm A Spaz And Incompetent.

I Guess, And It May Be A Flaw, That I Think About Rhythm More [than Anything Else]. I'm Always Wanting To Find Something Unusual. I've Started To Try And Write More Traditionally, But For Whatever Reason, I Tend Toward Trying To Find Something That Sounds More Like A Pattern To Me.

I'm Not A Real Gadgety Person. In Fact, Some People Think That I'm Kind Of Primitive.

Tomorrow Is No Place To Place Your Better Days.

My Songs Are Like A Three-legged Dog - You Have To Get To Know Them To Have Any Love For Them.

A Guy And A Girl Can Be Just Friends, But At One Point Or Another, They Will Fall For Each Other... Maybe Temporarily, Maybe At The Wrong Time, Maybe Too Late, Or Maybe Forever.

I'm A Fairly Tormented Artist, And I'm Less Willing To Indulge Myself In Self-pity, Outside Of Songwriting.

I'm Partly Obsessed By Aging Gracefully.

Aging Gracefully

Everything Good Needs Replacing

You And Me Have A Better Time Than Most Can Dream Of, Better Than The Best.

It's Funny, I Get A Little Quieter With Time. I Don't Want To Chase My Tail And One Day Repeat Myself And Repeat Myself And One Day Have Kids Going To College And Not Have Memories That I Should, Because I Was Too Busy Doing My Thing.

I Never Went To College - I Barely Got Out Of High School.

We Spend A Lot Of Time Bickering At Great Cost, And Very Little Time Actually Coming Up With Solutions. And I Think We Misuse Our Ambition For Our Own Gains And Rarely For The Betterment Of Ourselves, And People Around Us And Our Environment. And I Think That's Sort Of Pathetic And Desperate.

When I Listen To My Favorite Songwriters, They Have Such Simple Melodies And Chords. I Occasionally Manage To Stop At The Right Time, But All Too Often I Keep On Going Until I Have Way Too Many Notes And Words. But That's Just What I Do.

The Melodies Are Always The Most Important Part To Me. I Am Pulled More To The Groove Than The Chord Progression. After You Find The Groove, You Find The Most Simple Chord Progressions And Then Sit Inside That Groove.

I Hope That Just What I Sing About And How I Relate To My Audience Is As Much Of A Political Statement As I Need To Make.

I Use God In My Songs A Lot But I Don't Have A Relationship. I Don't Know What That Means.

Don’t You Rob Yourself Of What You’re Feeling; Don’t Rob Yourself Of All That You Could Be.

There's War - There's Always Been War, As Long As Most Of Us Have Been Alive. There Have Always Been People Being Abused, There's Always Been Horrible Things In The World. Why Are We Outraged? We Should Just Be Quiet And Figure It Out, And Work It Out Together.

I'm Glad Some People Have That Faith. I Don't Have That Faith. If There Is A God, A Caring God, Then We Have To Figure He's Done An Extraordinary Job Of Making A Very Cruel World.

If There Is A God

Keep It Locked Up Inside Don't Talk About It Talk About The Weather Can't See The Light

Good Music Is Good Music, And Everything Else Can Go To Hell.

I Don't Think Socialism, And I Don't Think Warmness And Respect Are Necessarily Bad Words.

I Find A Therapy In Playing Music, In Many Different Ways.

We Have To Be Active About Kindness And About Peace. I've Always Fantasized That It Would Be Great If There Was A Department Of Peace.

I'm Only This Far, And Only Tomorrow Leads My Way.

I Don't Believe In Trickle-down Economics. I Don't Think That People Who Have The Most Are Inclined To Share It, Generally.

Being Able To Scream At The Top Of My Lungs In Front Of People Is Very Therapeutic. It Is A Great Gift For Me To Be Able To Do That.

When I Was A Kid Growing Up In New York, I Was Pretty Unaware Of Racism. I Think When We're Young - Before We Lose Our Innocence - We're Sort Of Unaware Of The More Flawed Qualities Of Each Other.

So I Watched The Pink Panther Last Night, And So I'm Trying Desperately To Be Funny, And Then It's Just Not Working Out So Good... I Wonder If Maybe I Could've Been A Comedian Or Something Like That, Or Maybe I Could've Been A Doctor, Then I Wouldn't Have To Make Anyone Laugh.

My Reaction To Radiohead Isn't As Simple As Jealousy. Jealousy Just Burns; Radiohead Infuriate Me. But If It Were Only That, I Wouldn't Go Back And Listen To Those Records Again And Again. Listening To Radiohead Makes Me Fell Like I'm A Salieri To Their Mozart. Yorke's Lyrics Make Me Want To Give Up. I Could Never In My Wildest Dreams Find Something As Beautiful As They Find For A Single Song - Let Alone Album After Album.

I Think We Have To Be Active In Teaching Our Children, And Teaching Each Other. We Have To Be Active About Kindness And About Peace. I've Always Fantasized That It Would Be Great If There Was A Department Of Peace. We Have A Military, But What If There Was A Department Devoted Entirely And Truthfully To Finding Peaceful Resolutions?

I'm Not A Real Gadgety Person. But Bottle Opener Is Probably The Gadget I Can't Live Without. Actually, I Can Open A Bottle Of Beer Pretty Easily Without It, But Wine Is Always Too Much Of A Pain In The (rear) To Open That Up. So A Corkscrew Is Probably The Gadget That I Can't Live Without.

I Do Still Get Shocked Every Once In A While When I Catch My Reflection When I'm Walking Past A Glass Building, But It's In My Mind About Getting Older And Finding Out What I'm Going To Look Like As It Unfolds - Or As It Folds, Depending On Where The Marks And Scars Land.

Turns Out, Not Where, But Who You're With That Really Matters.

I Like To Think I'm A Night Person, Because That's My Job, But Now I'm A Father Of Three. I'm Trying To Become More Of A Morning Person. I Don't Know If It Will Last. I Have Two Choices, Right? Either I'm Bitter About Getting Up Early, Or I Start Drinking Wine Earlier And Get To Bed.

I'm A Bit Of A Caveman - I Don't Go Out Into The Digital Space Very Often. I Lie Facedown On The Grass And Count How Many Bugs I Can Find.

How Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me?

Self Understanding

I Find A Therapy In Playing Music, In Many Different Ways. At This Point, I'm Incredibly Grateful For The Relationship That It's Given Me With The Men That I Play Music With. It's A Great Journey, And I'm Really Grateful For That. And Also, Being Able To Scream At The Top Of My Lungs In Front Of People Is Very Therapeutic.

It's A Melting Pot, Southern Africa. You Find These Cultural Collisions That Result In Art And Music, And It's Pretty Amazing.

Leave The Big Door Open, Everyone'll Come Around.

Don't Burn The Day Away...

If I Find Something I Like, I'll Chase It And See What Comes Out The Other Side. Once A Song Gets Momentum And Gets Away From You, That's A Good Sign.

Because Life Is Short But Sweet For Certain We're Climbing Two By Two To Be Sure These Days Continue These Things We Cannot Change

Digging A Ditch Where Madness Gives A Bit Digging A Ditch Where Silence Lives Digging A Ditch For When I'm Old Digging This Ditch My Story's Told Where All These Troubles Weigh Down On Me Will Rise ..... Where All These Questions Spinning Round My Head Will Die

If I Go Before I'm Old Oh, Brother Of Mine Please Don't Forget Me If I Go Bartender, Please Fill My Glass For Me With The Wine You Gave Jesus That Set Him Free After Three Days In The Ground.

Dark Clouds May Hang On Me Sometimes, But I'll Work It Out.

You Seek Up An Emotion And Your Cup Is Overflowing, You Seek Up An Emotion Sometimes Your Well Is Dry

You Know She's Going To Leave My Broken Heart Behind Her...

Every Day Things Change, But Basically They Stay The Same.

What In The World Would I Sing For If I Had It All?

I Can't Believe That We Would Lie In Our Graves Wondering If We Had Spent Our Living Days Well. I Can't Believe That We Would Lie In Our Graves Dreaming Of Things That We Might Have Been.

So Let Us Sleep Outside Tonight, Lay Down In Our Mother's Arms, For Here We Can Rest Safely.

I Want To Figure Out A Way To Not Be Stupid With Money, Then Make A Whole Bunch Of It, Then I Want To Move To Outer Mongolia. I Want To Milk A Yak. Maybe I'll Just Settle For A Cow.

For A Moment This Good Time Would Never End You And Me Just Wasting Time I Was Kissing You You Were Kissing Me Love From Good Day Into A Moonlight

The World And The Universe Are Far More Wonderful If There's Not A Puppet Master.

Don't Convince Yourself You're Over, Don't Convince Yourself You're Done, Just Because The Things Around You Seem Heavy, Doesn't Mean You Can't Get Off This Ground.

It's So Hard For Me To Even Acknowledge America Without Talking About Race. If You Look At Our Society, If You Look At The Prisons, If You Look At The Poverty And Which Side Of The Line The Majority Of People Are, We Have To Acknowledge How We Divide Ourselves Up, That There's Racism Alive In This Country. And It's Not In The Law. It's In Our Minds. And That's What We Have To Actively Battle.

Excuse Me Please, One More Drink Could You Make It Strong Cause I Don't Need To Think She Broke My Heart, My Grace Is Gone One More Drink And I'll Move On.

Always Walk Where You Like Your Steps.

Is This Not Enough? This Blessed Sip Of Life Is It Not Enough? Staring Down At The Ground Then Complain And Pray For More From Above Greedy Little Pig

I Have Always Been Drawn To Percussion And Drums, To Bass And Piano, In Music Much More Then I Am Drawn To The Guitar And The Other Lead Instruments.

If You Live Life, Then You Become What Are.

Move Into Kiss Those Sweet Sugar Lips, Baby Looks Just Like Love.

Remember That There Are Hundreds Of Thousands Of Things You Can Eat That Are Not Cheese.

When I Step Into The Light My Arms Are Open Wide When I Step Into The Light My Eyes Searching Wildly

South Africa Gives Me A Perspective Of What's Real And What's Not Real. So I Go Back To South Africa To Both Lose Myself And Gain Awareness Of Myself. Every Time I Go Back, It Doesn't Take Long For Me To Get Caught Into A Very Different Thing. A Very Different Sense Of Myself.

I Don't Feel Like I'm Standing In A Position Where I Have Some Right Above Other People To Say What I Think. We Should All Be Talking To Each Other About What We Think Is Important - Whether We're In Politics, Or Whether We're Checking Out At A Grocery Store. We Shouldn't Put Walls Up Between Each Other.

I'm Familiar With That Feeling Of Silence That Comes With A Very Imminent Catastrophe, When You Know You Have Absolutely No Control Over A Situation.

Are You Looking For Answers, To Questions Under The Stars? If Along The Way You Are Growing Weary, You Can Rest With Me Until A Brighter Day It's Okay

Yorke's Lyrics Make Me Want To Give Up. I Could Never In My Wildest Dreams Find Something As Beautiful As They Find For A Single Song - Let Alone Album After Album.

I Found There's A Fairly Blatant Racism In America That's Already There, And I Don't Think I Noticed It When I Lived Here As A Kid. But When I Went Back To South Africa, And Then It's Sort Of Thrust In Your Face, And Then Came Back Here - I Just See It Everywhere.

Look, Here Are We On This Starry Night Staring Into Space. And I Must Say I Feel As Small As Dust Lying Down Here. What Point Could There Be Troubling? Head Down Wondering What Will Become Of Me, Why Concern We Cannot See But No Reason To Abandon It. Time Is Short But That's All Right, Maybe I'll Go In The Middle Of The Night. Take Your Hands From Your Eyes, My Love, Everything Must End Some Time, Don't Burn The Day Away.

Probably Most Of The Time I Watch Children's Movies Because My Kids Are On The Bus, So It Requires Them.

Oh, Man, Oh How I Wish I Didn't Smoke Or Drink To Reason With My Head.

Being A White South African, I Enjoyed The Better Things That That Country Gave To A Small Percentage Of Its Population.

Lying Under This Spell You Cast On Me Each Moment The More I Love You.

I Find Sometimes It's Easy To Be Myself, Sometimes I Find It's Better To Be Somebody Else.

My Voice Is Soft, But Oh, My Heart Roars!

If You Hold On Tight To What You Think Is Your Thing You May Find You Re Missing All The Rest

I'll Be Back 'round Again, Yes, I'll Walk In Time With You, Old Friend. And We'll Find That Place That We Had Danced In So Long Ago.

Love, You Drive Me To Distraction.

Nothing Is Here To Stay Everything Has To Begin And End A Ship In A Bottle Won't Sail All We Can Do Is Dream That The Wind Will Blow Us Across The Water A Ship In A Bottle Set Sail

I Believe In Love, But Believe It's Love That Keeps Beating Me Down.

Believe In Love

Some Might Tell You There's No Hope In Hand Just Because They Feel Hopeless But You Don't Have To Be A Thing Like That You Be A Ship In A Bottle Set Sail

Sometimes It's Nice To Be Able To Reflect On The Music Itself And Then Write Lyrics That I Feel Anyone Can Relate To. It's Not My Dreaming Tree That Is Dead. The Feeling Of A Loss Of Hope Is Universal. There Are Moments That We've All Felt A Little Bit Of It, So I Don't Think It Is Something That Is Too Hard To Identify With.

I'm A Very Vicious Critic Of Myself.

So Why Would You Care To Get Out Of This Place? You And Me And All Our Friends, Such A Happy Human Race. Eat, Drink And Be Merry, For Tomorrow We Die.

I'll Lean On You And You Lean On Me And We'll Be Okay.

Your Best Friend

I've Never Been Much Of A Craftsman, In An Educated Way. But I Think Just The Experience Of Writing Makes The Avenues I Follow A Little More Efficient In Some Ways. At The Same Time, When You're Young, You're A Little More Fearless, And There's Less Of An Internal Critic.

We've Never Played At This Place Before. This Place Is Big, And I'm Kinda Nervous, So We're Going To Make It Feel Small By Pretending We're In A... Bedroom. We'll Hang Off The Edge Of The Bed, Take Off Our Shoes And Get Naked!

A Vote For Change Is A Vote For A Stronger, Safer, Healthier America. A Vote For Bush Is A Vote For A Divided, Unstable, Paranoid America. It Is Our Duty To This Beautiful Land To Let Our Voices Be Heard. That's The Reason For The Tour. That's Why I'm Doing It.

Satellite In My Eyes Like A Diamond In The Sky How I Wonder Satellite Strung From The Moon And The World Your Balloon Peeping Tom For The Mother Station

How We Can Stay Faithful To The People That Have Supported Us From The Beginning Is A Thought In My Mind. I Always Want To Keep That Part Of It Alive.

I Think Some People Would Say That I Do Overwhelm The Words With The Music, And Sometimes Thank Goodness I Do.

I Fear That Our True Motivation Is About Oil And Our Own Flailing Economy; About The Failure To Destroy Al Qaeda And About Revenge.

I Am Who I Am Who I Am Who Am I Requesting Some Enlightenment Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me?

First Time I Kissed You, I Lost My Legs.

The Moon Is Quite A Show Off Given The Chance. The Stars Make A Sound When They Shine So Bright. Water So Blue And So Black.

People In Every Direction No Words Exchanged No Time To Exchange And All The Little Ants Are Marching Red And Black Antennas Waving They All Do It The Same We All Do It The Same Way

I Think Making Things That Aren't Necessarily Shiny, Happy Feelings, Putting Them In That Environment Is Sometimes An Easy Way To Deal With The Ugliness. Like, I Know That As A Kid, That I Found - I Think I Learned This A Bit From My Mother - That If I Could Be As Warm Around Strangers, No Matter How Strange Or What Different Environment I Was In, That People Tended To Be Warm Back.

I Definitely Like The Oddballs. There's A Song Called 'little Thing,' Which Is The Only Song That I Have Recorded That Has No Words. And It's The One That I Get Past My Critic Inside Me.

So Often We Talk About Saving The Planet, But What We Really Mean Is To Save The Planet The Way It Is, So We Can Live Here. So That Is Can Sustain Us. Because The Planet Doesn't Need To Be Saved. It Doesn't Care If All The Squirrels, Elephants, And Trees Die And There's Just A Couple Of Amoebas Floating Around At The Poles.

In Many Instances, We Are Much Better At Fixing Our Mistakes After We've Made Them. In Some Situations, It Is Easier To Sweep Things Under The Rug And Forget About Them.

Don't Lose The Dreams Inside Your Head They'll Only Be There Until You're Dead Dream

I Think We Should All Talk To Our Enemies And Talk To Our Friends. Talk! That's The Only Way We'll Find Solutions.

The Reason I Play Music Is To Touch People - For Selfish Reasons, As Well. It Feels Good To Make Someone Else Feel Something, Whether It's A Kiss, A Painting, Good Idea Or It's A Song.

I Grew Up In A Very Politically Aware Family. My Mother Always Taught Me To Question Everything, Never Believing Anything Simply At Face Value - Especially The Nicest, Most Adamant Politicians.

One Sweet World Around This Star Is Spinning One Sweet World And In Her Breath I'm Swimming And Here We Will Rest In Peace

I Know I Have A Very Unusual Style Of Playing, Where Other More Recognized And Technically Proficient Players Might Look At Me And Wonder What The Heck I'm Doing. The Purpose Of My Learning To Play The Way I Do Was More To Accompany My Singing. I Figured Out A Style Where I'm Mentally Playing The Drums Over A Simple Melody.

Because Life Is Short But Sweet For Certain

It Is Criminal To Put Our Servicemen And Women In Harm's Way And To Put The Lives Of So Many Civilians On The Line For The Misguided Frustrations Of The Bush Administration.

I See You Young And Soft Oh Little Baby Little Feet, Little Hands, Little Baby One Year Of Crying And The Words Creep Up Inside Creep Into Your Mind So Much To Say

Out Of The Darkness Comes Light Like A Flash You Think You Can, You Think You Can Sometimes That Is The Problem Dream Little Darling Dream

A Lot Of The Time, I Write A Lot Of Angry Stuff, But Then I Don't Want To Be A Finger-pointer - I'd Rather Be A Cheerleader Than A Judge. I Don't Want To Preach As If I'm In Some Position Of Righteousness, But I Do Want To Speak My Mind And Scream At The Clouds And Shout Out Of The Pit Of Hopelessness That I Sometimes Think The Human Race Is In.

When I Look At How Fortunate I've Been, Being A Musician... My Response To Being Overpaid Is That I Should Pay It Back To My Community In Some Way.

I Was Just Wondering If You'd Come Along To Hold Up My Head When My Head Won't Hold On.

Goodnight Moon. Sweet Dreams. Smile Kindly Upon This Little Blue Gum Ball Of Us While We Sleep.

I Go Back To South Africa At Least Once A Year, Sometimes Twice, And Usually For A Month. And Probably, I'm Guessing, I'll Spend More Time Back There As I Get Older.
