It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.

The opportunity to record the song came when Phil Collins' record label, Atlantic, was doing a tribute album to him and they asked all these different artists to do renditions of his songs.

I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.

Remember the Stax label and how if you liked one record, you liked all the others as well? You don't talk to a lot of people who tell you how much they love their record label. I don't care how many records they sell.

I'm really happy with Elektra, I don't have anything bad to say about them at all. I always knew a major label was the right place for me to be. I never really had an opportunity to go to an independent label anyway.

Label me Not
Label me not
because the color
of my skin.
Label me not
whether I'm fat
or thin.
Label me not
because of my
religious belief.
Label me not
whether I'm strong
or weak.
Label me not
because of
my disability.
Label me not
just except me
for me
I've toured the U.S. every single year and I've put a record out every single year whether it was on a major label or not; that doesn't make any difference to me.

As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

Smash You
Hangin' out on the avenue
Looking for something to do
Didn't know when we first met
That you would be such a pest
Didn't go callin' on the phone
I don't need your dial tone
You been treatin' me so bad
You're the best girl that I ever had, so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
Go, go, go, go, honey
Oh don't you know
You make me wanna smash you
Fighting on the avenue
I knocked some sense into you
Oh I know it's not enough
You think you're so damn tough
All this talk about suicide
Too many pills
Too many lies
Oh baby
You're no good you see
One, one, one get away from me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
Go, go, go, go, honey
Oh don't you know
You make me wanna smash you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
Go, go, go, go, honey
Oh don't you know
You make me wanna smash you
Ah, go!
Fighting on the avenue
You make me wanna smash you
You make me wanna smash you
Oh!
Hanging out on the avenue
Lookin' for something to do
He didn't know when we first met
That you would be such a pest
I picked up the phone it rings
Baby make me wanna smash your head
You been treatin' me so bad
You're the best girl I ever had, so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
Go, go, go, go, honey
Oh don't you know
You make me wanna smash you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
Go, go, go, go, honey
Oh don't you know
I know you know
You make me wanna smash you
Smash you

It breaks my heart to see these young, really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label, you're a failure now.

Theres No Label In Me
I have no label,
I have a life to live,
I have a family that cares for me,
Why label yourself,
Why choose to be emo, goth, prep, or whatever,
Why,
Can you answer that yourself,
Can find the answers I seek in this poem,
I have no label,
I am me,
I have found me,
My life is a cycle,
It runs around in circles,
Theres no label in me,
Don't label yourself until you know what your are or who you are.

Some guys record an album with songs that are filler. I recorded this album like it was my last.
If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
So, when I got the contract for my album, even though it was an English record, my manager insisted on making sure we would record in Spanish as well, and it worked out really well for me.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Instant Mash
In the supermarket there is music while you work
It drives you crazy, sends you screaming for the door
Work there for a year or two and you can't get to like it
I don't work in supermarkets anymore
It's so easy, it's so easy
Grab can, lift arm, stack can, turn around
It's so easy, it's so easy
Do the instant mash, do the instant mash
Do the instant mash, make an instant smash
Doin' the instant mash
In the discorama there's a dj tries to charm ya
They got flashin' lights to dance to if you're shy
Red for treble, green for bass, they're wired in sequence round the place
You wait till ten, then try take off your tie
It's so easy, it's so easy
Lift hand, flick wrist, drop hand, turn around
It's so easy, it's so easy
Do the instant mash, do the instant mash
Do the instant mash, make some instant cash
Doin' the instant mash
In the cinema tonight they sit and watch the robots fight
The human beings don't have much to say
Robots making lots of cash and all they eat is instant mash
Oh wouldn't you just love to be that way?
It's so easy, it's so easy
Heat it, beat it, eat it, turn around
It's so easy, it's so easy
Do the instant mash, do the instant mash
Do the instant mash, make an instant smash
Doin' the instant mash

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it's like the right deal for you... not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff.
I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought: 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'
