No Difference Small as a peanut, Big as a giant, We're all the same size When we turn off the light. Rich as a sultan, Poor as a mite, We're all worth the same When we turn off the light.

Joining Yes was one of those stupid things that you do sometimes. It was one of the two or three times in my life that I've done something that I knew was wrong. ↗

The Fat Mattress consisted of people I'd played with before joining the 'Experience and it was put together as a song writing situation. ↗

I try to make myself walk around a bit, but I probably think about it more than I actually do it. Years ago, I did think about joining a gym. ↗
