money money-talks walks
Money talks but it can't sing and dance and it don't walk.
thinking people taste
I think probably Australians have just a little more taste than most people.
practice fruit needs
I still need practice in enjoying the fruits of success.
writing heart light
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.
meaningful song writing
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
hard-work home needs
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
journey wife maintenance
I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very high maintenance.
respect peers enough
My peers accept me and respect me, and that's enough.
brother my-brother heavy
He aint heavy, he's my brother.
self-esteem creative littles
I have a lot of confidence, but little Self-Esteem. This has given me a tremendous creative spark because it forced me to keep proving myself.
giving-up wife way
When I need my wife or when I need companionship or someone to talk to, I need it, like, now. So my wife will have to give up whatever she's doing at that moment to tend to my needs. And in the same way, I would tend to hers. That's not such an easy thing to do.
wife maintenance tasks
I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very ... high maintenance.
irony lost found
Being lost is worth the being found.
soccer mom dad
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
