It's a long way back to Deptford town

It's a track of his forthcoming record, and was the first title for his book.

This signed sheet is on sale from his site

John's poetry is really amateurish. It's cringeworthy at times.

I know what you mean but if this wasn’t an MK fan forum we might not have anyone to compare him to. Most modern music isn’t well written. We are rare in the way we spend time reading MK’s lyrics as well as listening to his music.

Sure, Mark is up there among the best, but even compared with lesser songwriters (David for instance), John really pales. You just sense in John's songs how he's desperately looking for rhyming words LOL

Nothing really new here. John confirmed he used some help with writing the book, strange he won't include his co-author name on the cover though. This implies his co-author's job was merely to transcribe his longhand writing and shorten it for the book. Mark read the book, John read the book, but some mistakes are inevitable and will happen no matter how many times you check it. Never released DS stuff? I don't think that's going to happen. Nobody seems to be interested in that.

It's funny. Of course, fans are also not interested  >:(
