“Yeah, Richey Manic liking ‘Frisk’ was a pretty big honor, as you can imagine. I’m sort of your typical Manics fan, love all the Richey era stuff, especially ‘The Holy Bible,’ and not so interested in them after him, though I do quite like their first post-Richey album when you could still feel him in the music.”

“In the beginning the world was a map
Out through the back door and into the trap
Home is an echo reflecting a place
I disappeared then and without a trace
I was arranged to leave on that day
There were complications I’ve chosen to stay
I saw the curtains and it was the end
When one life is over a new one begins
Was not seen again”
