"Condition of old age - youth always remembered fondly. OAP wants
to die with favourite memory month in mind. Adult memories tawdry, of little value." (Richey James; THB Tourbook)
"Again, it's all Richey's, and there's lots of disturbing images:
'Scratch my leg with a rusty nail/sadly it heals.../a tiny animal
curled into a quarter circle'. It was one of the first songs we wrote
for the album, and I found it pretty disturbing when Richey first
showed it to me. Now, of course, it's even more so, and I think
this and '4st7lbs' are pretty obviously about Richey's state of
mind, which I didn't quite realise at the time. Even if you're
quite close to someone, you always try to deny thoughts like that." |
