Tom: I've read somewhere that your lyrics are the one thing that you probably spend almost even the least amount of time on; they almost kind of come to you. Is it kind of like an automatic writing, or a…

Carl: Um, some of it can be, yeah. Some of it can be, but not all of it. I like to feel that I've simplified my lyrics, in a way, over the years. I mean, when we first started, we were quite young, and I mean, I felt like some of the lyrics were a bit jumbled up and a bit pompous in places (laughter). But I feel that I've kind of simplified them, but the message is kind of stronger because of that. And obviously I like to write with parallels running through my words, y’know, and I think it’s also about key words at moments of, y’know, a chord and that within the music; it works as a whole, really. I find it very hard to separate the lyrics from the music as well. But sometimes it’s quite spontaneous, yeah, and I like it to be that way because then I know it’s true.
