We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.
I don't think there's anything in the compromise that means that there's a clash of ethics.

You know, they really do have white coats. (Sunshine)
When white-collar people get jobs, they sell not only their time and energy, but their personalities as well. They sell by the week, or month, their smiles and their kindly gestures, and they must practice that prompt repression of resentment and aggression.
