 We find ourselves in a much better position than we did last year touring because then we had only a certain amount of songs to draw upon, ... When we played for an hour, we had to play almost everything we knew.

 We seem to be collecting a big pile of these songs that we really like but don't quite get together, but we were talking about doing them as singles in their own right.

 We swap around instruments from time to time and try other variations. The real trick to making a good record is finding out the things that aren't good and getting rid of them.

 We're all big Roxy fans and always have been, ... They were rock 'n' roll avant garde and sounded like nothing anyone had ever heard before, but also perfect pop music as well.

 We're very much a rhythm-driven band. We still want to make people dance, but we didn't want to repeat the same beats. We did experiment with a lot of different rhythms.

 Well, pop people use it.

 When I first started in a band, I wasn't very good; I was thinking too much about being on stage rather than just being on stage. It's completely primal. Intuitive. Instinctive. You don't consider your moves, you just do them. There are very few things in life when you're just doing that thing and not thinking about anything else. Performing is one of them.

 You can always have it better. If you try. That's the attitude of the group at the moment. Never to feel satisfied, always to want to do something better.

 You're letting such a fragile side of yourself out when you're creating or writing music. To do that with people who are almost strangers would seem very strange to me. I think that we're very lucky that we're quite close. To us, it's almost like the band is the grandest possible adventure you can go on with your friends. It's really really exciting.

 You're so lucky, lucky, lucky,

 [But even with two Englishmen in the band, McCarthy and Hardy, they remain loyal to Glasgow.] We definitely see ourselves as a Glasgow band above anything else, ... It's not a massive place, but one of the great and inspiring things about Glasgow is you have all these characters who did things and they did them their own way, and they're still there and they kind of like say: 'You know, if we did it this way, you can probably do it as well.'

 [The Kinks'] Ray Davies had that great symbiotic relationship between the music and the emotional content of the lyric. Think of 'Waterloo Sunset.' It had all those great backing vocals, and that change of key from major to minor that gives it such soaring poignancy.
