“When someone is going out with someone in the band and they’re going home together you can never break that down” (…) Brett was a hidden character behind Justine. So when that ended, that’s when we started writing good things together. Justine lent me the money for a Les Paul, for which i’m eternally grateful.” “We started to see ourselves as a little force, we used to say ‘We have the power’, like from Bowie’s ‘Quicksand’. It didn’t matter what anybody else thought, as long as you had hold of this thing called The Power.”

Bernard Butler
