There’s a message underlying everything you create. There has to be, or there’s...

Alex Turner: Were you always into rhyming words?
John Cooper Clarke: Yeah, but then I realised you didn't always have to. Do you think that?
AT: Yeah. For me, that's the exciting bit. Things that don't rhyme but sound like they do. Sometimes it sounds more effective. Like there's a great Gang Of Four tune [Damaged Goods] that sounds like it's going to rhyme but it doesn't. (Sings), "The change will do you good/I always knew it would/Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you..." and you think it's gonna rhyme with "would", but it goes, "but I know it's only lust". That's sound!
JCC: Were the Gang Of Four an influence?
AT: I only got into them recently. Oasis were t'first. Before that we were just into climbing trees. At school, I was never really bothered, then hip hop came along and the first person I latched onto was Roots Manuva, which was a words thing. I always liked how he could switch from the mundane to the cosmic quite seamlessly. I was dead into it, but I never had the bottle to write any words of my own 'till later.
