Ben Folds Five — Smoke

“I wrote about Ben, in my book 31 Songs (which was a song book in America). One of the things I’d said was how brilliant the lyrics were on this song “Smoke” and, you know, this is why Ben Folds was a genius. And then Ben wrote to me and said that, ‘You know, it was very kind of you to say these things but I didn’t write those lyrics…’” — Nick Hornby
