With Stanley Road the turmoil was definitely feeding into the lyrics. Changing Man Lyrics: Thought I was, the kind who had too little to lose / Thought I was, a man who'd seen the things he needed to / But you're so, sweet now, so sweet now / Make me think in different I had to break the shape up, re-arrange things. There's the line in The Changingman: 'Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse, too in touch with myself, I light the fuse.' There was a sense that for me as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge.
