Where Are You?: SW18 What Are You?: a solicitor, glamorously enough. the most hated of pen-pushers.

What do you drink?: lager top. milky tea. guinness, with guilt. fruit juices. milk. oaky californIA merlot. best of all, water.

When We Were 16 Where were you?: the flatlands of essex.What were you?: a confused schoolboy What did you wear?: incredibly long fringe, paisley shirts, you know. no labels. What did you listen to?: razorcuts, bubblegum splash, the taunts of schoolmates, the low petrol hum of the bus to school. john peel, devoutly. What did you watch?: match of the day. snub tv. girls, from an embarrassed distance.

What did you drink?: coca cola. What did you smoke?: absolutely nothing. What did you take?: absolutely nothing. What did you want to be?: shy retiring indie popster with dull dayjob keeping me in food and clothing. Who did you fight?: nothing serious. cocooned myself away from those i wanted to hurt. Who/What did you believe in?: i'm sorry, see above... nothing in my head has really changed since then Where did you go?: studying and working, via oxford, nottingham, bristol, the city and monte carlo - as ice t says, "it took ten years to get from there to here"... What did you learn?: "ain't a damn thing changed" - that's ice t again - everything crystallised in my head at 16, only the background changes now. |
