Andy Partridge
I'm a big kid. I never lost my childlike appreciation of things. Too many people lock it out and throw their toys away and say, okay, I'm gonna grow up and be grumpy and miserable and not think about the magical side of things anymore -- and I can't seem to stop doing that.
Andy Partridge
Now I lay me down to sleep Knowing that your lenses peep Now I eat my daily bread And into the tape spool I'll be fed
Andy Partridge
The man who sailed around his soul From East to West, from pole to pole With ego as his drunken captain Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold
Andy Partridge
It was in San Diego and I was onstage and couldn't remember how to play the guitar properly. I was in terrible pain and my nervous system was just going wild, like somebody had just run a car over me.
Andy Partridge
I don't like touring and it seemed to be getting on top of me in a big way.
Andy Partridge
We do this for the art, not the adulation. I'd rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don't want to be adored for anything other than the music.
Andy Partridge
I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.
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
If it's a good LP, you'll get that tingle that makes you put it on again no matter what your initial reaction was. On the other hand, if you don't get that tingle, you'd better take it straight down to the record exchange.
Andy Partridge
Come English Settlement, I had it in my head that I didn't want to tour.
Andy Partridge
For a heart without love is a song with no words And a tune to which no one is listening So your heart must give love and you'll find that You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening.
Andy Partridge
