So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.''
Now I'm having to live with sales of around 50, 000 per album - but I'm pretty content with my place in the general scheme of things, even if it's meant I don't drive a fancy car and can't afford grand vacations.
It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
