It's very far away, it takes about a half and a day to get there, if we travel by my... dragon-fly. No, it's not in Spain, but all the same, you know, it's a groovy name. And the wind's just right... Hang on, my darling, hang on if you wanna go. Hear it's a really groovy place, with just a little bit Spanish Castle Magic.

Spiritually, it's always there. It gets better and better all the time. One of these days I'll just finally release all that out.

A lot of ppl are making more money than they ever had nowadays - so when they get their flat they can, they always find themselves with an extra room.

I guess it would be if I wanted to, just lay back and predominantly write songs when I can't go on a stage anymore.

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm going out to find my woman, caught her messing around with another man.
