“I’ve heard his fucking new record ‘cos I fucking sung on half of it. When I was in America for ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ he swiped some off because he obviously knew he wanted to do a solo album. So he can talk all the bullshit about, ‘Oh, I was intimidated,’ and all that. Fucking nonsense. Behave. He knows. The people know. And I know.
“I haven’t spoken to him, I haven’t seen him. It’s very hush-hush round his camp. I put up with 18 years of that fucker so I’m not arsed with what he’s doing. I’m sure it will all be very civilised and grown-up. His gigs will be like those that you can really stroke your chin at. With four rent-a-Scousers wearing shell-suits.”

On the other hand, Noel wrote em.
