[Ocean Colour Scene] asked me to come onstage and sing a song called Robin Hood which was an absolute honour, I had to go backstage and try and sober up ‘cos we’d played before them, my solo thing, and I had to try and learn the lyrics and not get them wrong. Then I went and did the song, I came off and it was a moment like ‘Can’t wait to tell Peter this one!’ ‘You know that song we used to always sing back in the day, in the park, with the acoustic, yeah I just did that onstage with them!’ And he goes, ‘Did you? I did that two weeks ago! They came to my dressing room and they asked me to go and do the same thing!’
Throwback to when they changed the lyrics of Robin Hood to reflect their own tragic story. (x)

“I’m not such an idiot as to romanticize Camden and Kentish Town… but sometimes I’ll sit out in the sunshine and sip a coffee, and I’ll see Peter go by in his pornographic swimming trunks…”
