More quotes by Andy Partridge
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with 'welcome' written on it.
Andy Partridge
It's very schizophrenic because I like a lot of very straight pop, like Small Faces, Stones, Kinks and on the other hand, I like a lot of avant garde things.
Andy Partridge
Where I've arrived now is the product of mixing the very straight with the very exploratory there's a fine line between the two, although it tends to be getting straighter and straighter because my songwriting is getting better.
Andy Partridge
I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.
Andy Partridge
I'm really interested in bands that sound nothing like anything I do or can do. That's what interests me.

Other lands became a larder full of all the good things All we had to do was go and take Blood the colour of the rain that grew our wicked harvest Black the colour icing on our cake

Andy Partridge
I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt A billion lovers with their cameras Snap to look and in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt
Andy Partridge

Andy Partridge
Now that I'm out and I'm shouting in doorways Freed from a love more like murder I should be singing but in liberation Feel like a ship with no rudder.
Andy Partridge
I believe the printed word is more than sacred Beyond the gauge of good or bad The human right to let your soul fly free and naked Above the violence of the fearful and sad
Andy Partridge
Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land And how a child to the virgin came? Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered Everything upon the surface of the world Is so we can stand right up and say we did it in his name?
Andy Partridge
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I'd buy a new album I'd invariably hate it the first time I heard it 'cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn't grasp what they'd done, and I'd hate myself for that.
Andy Partridge
Ballet for a rainy day Silent film of melting miracle play Dancing out there through my window To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
Andy Partridge
I felt pressured by continuous touring.
Andy Partridge
We stole their babes and mothers, chiefs and braves Although we held the whip, you knew we were The real slaves To alchemy, human alchemy.
Andy Partridge
You watch the country-music awards that they show on the television, and you see country music has reached about 1985. It's all huge processed drum sounds and chiming chorus guitars and programmed synths bobbling along in the background.
Andy Partridge
