'Weeds'
"
I've always been fascinated by plants growing in places where
they shouldn't really be, like weeds growing in cracks in the paving stones.
For some reason I thought, 'That's a bit like humans in a city
you're a natural thing but you're growing in this slightly hostile,
crappy environment but somehow managing to survive'. I started
thinking about how most good music comes from people who are in
shitty circumstances and then the Svengali comes along and makes all the
money and the artist gets fucked off.
Then there was the drugs connotation. There's a slumming-it mentality in
our society which is going back to a 'Common People' theme -
people getting a buzz from scoring drugs off a council estate.
'It's so authentic, I was in a real council house,
and these people had tattoos and everything. It's like they've got real
contempt for these people and
they'll spit on them, but when they want some drugs or they wanna shag a
prostitute they're OK."
