Subject: Autobiographical, starting with my ignominious (whatever that means?) expulsion from school ….. and culminating in my meteoric rise to fame with popular beat combo Squeeze – (never heard of them). When l triumphantly return to my home town – drunk with success (throws up) to play at Hull City Hall ……
(so what?) ……. I stay at my parents’ house … accompanied by wise cracking jools.

Excerpt ……..

Mum: ‘ I don’t care if he’s New Holland – he can’t come in here looking like that! ‘
Jools: ‘ Ladies and Gentlemen ……… KEANE! ‘
