I think I saw this first on chickenfeet2003, f4f3 or deililly, I can't remember.

• My alias is... Cleo Henry. Well, it was, last time I needed to use an alias – but that was twenty years ago. (I was going to offer a prize for anyone who guessed where I stole it from – but Google takes you straight to the right Wikipedia article! So no prizes.)



• The first thing I see when I wake up in the morning is... my wife’s right shoulder



• I can't survive the day without... water

• My favorite love song ... changes every day; but somewhere between The Only Ones’ “Lover’s Of Today” and “Another Girl, Another Planet”; Elvis Costello’s “Alison” and “I Want You”, Patti Smith’s “Gloria” and “Because the Night”, New Order’s “Temptation”, almost anything John Coletrane played, and most of the George Gershwin catalogue. And a whole load of others, too. (Still, half of those are anti-love songs, the fallout from love songs, bitter and cynical and twisted... But still great love songs!)

"I Want You" is so bitter and twisted that I can only listen to it when maudlin drunk (which is, of course, the worst time to listen to it). The other one to listen to then is "Blue Valentines" by Tom Waits.
