Theres the famous thing that the A&R man from the record company is supposed to do: Hes supposed to come into the studio and listen to the songs youve been recording and then say, Guys, I dont hear any singles. And then everybody falls into a terrible depression because you have to write one. – Jarvis Cocker
Unless youre living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, theres no point in being gloomy. Weve spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we dont really need. Weve stopped using our imaginations. – Jarvis Cocker
