dog people together
A roast is like a get-together where people come down and talk about you and dog you out, the way you came up, the knucklehead things that you did, stuff like that.
real cat crowds
We were brash young fellows. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
religious falling-in-love religion
Sacred spirit of love, fall down on me from above.
rock-and-roll rocks twins
I come equipped with stereophonic funk producin´ disco inducin´ twin magnetic rock receptors.
stars stuff band
I like being out front, doing what I do, but then I also like playing in a band too. I'd like to do stuff like I did with Deee-lite. I went out and played with them and they were the stars, that was cool.
mistake action same-mistakes
We learn a lot, but the actions we don't put behind those things that we learn and we continue to make the same mistakes.
wall book writing
During the course of the day, I write things down, things I don't do anything with. Then, when I get ready to start recording, I just look through my books and I see if I can find something that stands out. That's how I come up with the off-the-wall-kinda-strange-indirect-stuff.
art reflection views
Just another point of view, I'm just a reflection of you.
important fool stage
Recording wasn't as important to me as actually being to get on stage and act the fool.
play trying cartoon
But by us doing a lot on the road, we were able to afford things like videos on the tours, cartoons that we'd open up the shows with. We were doing that way back when and now it's the hippest thing to do. We're just coming back around, I guess trying to play catch-up.
thinking the-end-of-the-day together
Yeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
thinking smartphones make-you-think
The smartphones and the computer separates everybody, makes you think that you don't need nobody else.
water waiting care
You have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you cant just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.
should-have giving trying
I try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.
