I'm not a rich man, and Greg Lake is certainly not. I don't know how he can survive. I don't know how he can be that suicidal. But having said that, I'd love to be there to help Greg.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.
Can You Fool
Greg:
Well you can take all of the money that you made and
but it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you
is heaven very far
You take all of the medicine you need 'til ya
find out who you are
Maybe you can figure
why that woman wanna be so cruel
But ya, ya just can't forget her, can you fool
Oh-oh
Cher:
Well those winter nights
and the city lights
and the crying of the train
Everyday is a straight up gray
Every memory's a fade
And then ya finally use the sense God gave ya
to come out of the rain
Still you can't figure
why that man is got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool
Together:
Oh, love is long and love is hard
Love brings lots of pain
She was here
Now she's gone
Lord, bring her back again
Cher:
Well you can take all of the money that you made and
Greg:
but it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you
is heaven very far
Cher:
And you can take all of the medicine you need 'til ya
Greg:
find out who you are
Cher:
Still you can't figure why
that man he got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool
Greg:
No you just can't forget her, can you fool
Cher:
Awww, can you fool

Unless you go forward then you are going back.
Marinela
Call in Harrison and Greg,
For the food is ready on the table;
And Jing is already sitting waiting for them,
But i am here with Jake, Afri and Marinela.
They are sitting beside me and,
We are still waiting for Harrison and Greg;
And like all that seen around and experienced,
For this Island and the sea of love needs the muse of peace.

The early ELP albums were pioneering in a way.
There is no standing still because time is moving forward.
Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
Philosophically, what I have learned is to thy own self be true. That is the biggest lesson of all. Relax; music is fun. To many people take it to seriously because of the money involved.
Lay Down The Law
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Youve got to show me
Lay down the law
Youve got to show me
G. love
Oh brother greg see Ive been watchin you
Wherever you go then trouble follows too
You better take some time to figure out whats wrong
You better live your life and try to be so strong
Oh brother greg this time youve taken it too far
Thats when your girlfriend stole my vcr
Drove to the pawnshop in my landlords car
Now shes got the money and the drugs
And you a junkie like a thug
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Youve got to show me
Lay down the law
Youve got to show me
Smiles
Brother greg
Its been a long long time
Since we maxed it nice
Got fresh
By that seashore line
It was easy
Getting glazed up in the ocean
Time pull pull the tide
Ride waves feel the motion
Then we got parted
Separted like the seas
Felt like I was all alone
In a different country
But now were back together, man
And never shall we part
Found the link
Got electricity
Here to stand tall
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Gregs gonna lay down the law
All fellas
Cant you see
That you could be
All that you
Want to be
Wont you just come along
Hear the brothers sing your song
Brother greg has gone away
Hell be back some lonesome day
So wont you just lay the law
This just might be your last call
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Gregs gonna lay down the law
Gregs gonna lay down the law

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.
As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.
I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.
I just got a call one day from Ringo asking me if I wanted to go out on the tour. It was as simple as that. He was putting together this band and he heard of me in the context of doing this and he gave me a call. I jumped at the chance.
When we made that album with Gary Moore, I was still kind of searching for the right direction for myself. Although the music is quite good the direction was like a box of fireworks that caught light all at the same time.
I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.

To Greg
You're such a worthless smeg.
You look and act like such a dreg.
Your worthless act oyur stupid smile.
Fooloing some with such sneaky guile.
When truly you're a worthless child.
You throw your tantrrums like a wench.
I want to throw you in a ditch.
Greg oh Greg I want you dead.
Your head so full of useless lead.
You've no respect, or intellect.
You're trashy to so don't forget.
You think that you're the king of all,
ruling like you've got big balls.
You're pathetic like a 10th rate addict.
I reject your lies and simple guise.
You're a reject who livies in disguise.
Be gone now you filthy whore,
the sight of you is such a bore.
I hope you live in misery.
For you I have no use or pity.

When you are in a band for a number of years you loose your identity in a way. You become a part of that band and then all of a sudden you are not part of that band. You are still the band without the other two members.
I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.
