There are no quick fixes - you just have to accept that its a pretty shit situation. Common sense should tell you that - look at all the people who have written songs (almost qualifying as folksongs -I nearly said - but that would offend richard's -I know more about folk music than you do sensibility) and anyway- to conclude this wearisonme sentence - they end up skint.

there are no simplistic answers. Its a complex situation.
