00:00 [MUSIC - "I'M NOT GOING TO BE LATE"]

00:03 Every morning 'bout half past eight,

00:22 my mama wakes me, says, don't be late.

00:25 I get to the office trying to concentrate my life.

00:30 It's just a slow train crawling up a hill.

00:34 So I stop one day to figure it out.

00:37 I quit my job without a shadow of a doubt

00:40 to sing the blues that I know about.

00:44 My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

00:48 Minute after minute, second after second,

00:52 hour after hour goes by.

00:56 Working for a rich girl, staying just a poor girl,

00:59 never stop to wonder why.

01:03 So here I am in London town, a better scene

01:08 I'm going to be around.

01:10 The kind of music that will bring me down.

01:14 My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

01:22 [MUSIC - "I'M NOT GOING TO BE LATE"]

01:25 Every morning 'bout half past eight,

01:36 my mama wakes me, says, don't be late.

01:40 I get to the office trying to concentrate my life.

01:44 It's just a slow train crawling up a hill.

01:48 So I stop one day to figure it out.

01:51 I quit my job without a shadow of a doubt

01:54 to sing the blues that I know about.

01:58 My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

02:03 Minute after minute, second after second,

02:07 hour after hour goes by.

02:10 Working for a rich girl, staying just a poor girl,

02:14 never stop to wonder why.

02:18 So here I am in London town, a better scene

02:22 I'm going to be around.

02:24 The kind of music that will bring me down.

02:28 My life is just a slow train.

02:48 So here I am in London town, a better scene

02:52 I'm going to be around.

02:54 The kind of music that will bring me down.

02:58 My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

03:10 [APPLAUSE]

03:13 Thank you.

03:27 We're going to do a song now, which is called "Mary Pickford."

03:36 And it was quite an interesting way how it was written.

03:42 I was in the studio with my producer Mike Batt.

03:45 And we were having a recording session

03:48 and looking around to write songs and to record

03:52 songs on this last album.

03:54 And Mike had this calendar, which

03:56 had lots of strange and silly facts on them.

04:01 And on that particular day, the fact

04:03 that was written on this calendar

04:05 said that Mary Pickford used to eat roses.

04:09 And he turned to me and said, that's

04:11 a really good song title.

04:14 And I was like, oh yeah, you're right.

04:17 But to my surprise, I came in the next day into the studio

04:20 and he had it written.

04:21 And this is what it sounded like.
