And the bit about him "not so much playing the guitar as painting with it".

Another example: "Yr putting the no's in Novermber/and taking the be's out of May." - --Chris Adams Shaz wrote: A round of aplause please for the lyric Where am I Still trying to find the night that burns the Northern sky Aurora Borealis born to be made of lights straight from the Patrick Moore book of lyrics ;-) following the Mac stars theme nicely (with a bit of tongue in cheek I should imagine).
