  And morning -dreams, as poets tell, are true,
  Led by pale ghosts, I enter Death's dark gate,
  And bid the realms of light and life adieu.

• I remember we were out on the road when the album finally came out in February 1973. I listened to it in my hotel room and just got this really big smile. I was thinking, 'It's amazing, we're really pulling this off'. The album was very, very unique and very, very different. I was really proud of the songs, especially 'No More Mr Nice Guy', 'Billion Dollar Babies' and 'Generation Landslide'.

  Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns,
  And all the joys of life with health have flown.
