	A sort of tribute to some late greats who have been a big influence on my work. It speaks for itself I think.

	Story Behind the Song I was thinking about how great stars live on after their demise and about their personal battles. It's also a tribute. It's about the problems artists and writers face in a crazy world. Lyrics I was thinking about Kurt Cobain And his chances were pretty slim And I was thinking about John Lennon 'Cos I owe a lot to him: Just soldiers with guns of wood and string, Shot down with lack of understanding. I was thinking of Jimi Hendrix And other stars passed on, Who gave their lives for music, Immortalised in song. Iwas wondering about our future In a world turned upside down, Where love's a word corrupted To the sound of a weeping clown; And gunfire's from the soldiers With guns of wood and string.
