"When I think back to how I was in school, it seemed like I wasn't quite there, like my body was doing its thing but my mind was elsewhere. But suddenly I feel like I've come into focus, like I can see things for the first time. It's very strange. I feel.... new born." Matt Bellamy relates these thoughts in the spacious back lounge of their tour bus, while standing on his head with a gold pen stuck up his nose. With any other singer this would seem like another attention seeking affectation ; with Bellamy however, it's more an indication of his carefree 'top-of-the-world' state of mind right now."
