The Road to Mandalay

"My favourite on the album is probably a song called 'Road To Mandalay'. We started to write, I was doing this French television show and then because we were in France I don't know, I just picked up on French vibes and started singing a French sort of melody. 'Save me from drowning in the sea, beat me up on the beach'. And then it's turned out to be the most, for me, touching song that I've written. 'Everything [I've] ever stolen has been lost, returned or broken, no more dragons left to slay'. It's one of those songs that you go this is really sad, but it's dead positive at the same time."
