Tim Burgess joins Cerys to discuss  his book 'One ,Two Another - line by line lyrics from the Charlatans, solo and beyond'  A collection of the very best lyrics by The Charlatans lead singer with added commentary and memoir. The book gives an insight into a very idiosyncratic and creative song-writing process.

'From lists to experiences,there are no rules. A good song is a good song whoever writes it and however the writing happens. I only know what I do. In this here book I have collected some of the ideas and thoughts and words.' - Tim
