What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight. And he'll Win the Whole Thing ' Fore He Enters the Ring. There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind is Your Might. So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand. And Remember That Depth is the Greatest of Heights. And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land. And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz you'll Know That you're Right''. The album was generally well received by the press and was certified Platinum. At the time Apple had a relationship with film director Paul Thomas Anderson. ===Extraordinary Machine<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The third album, Extraordinary Machine, was originally produced by Jon Brion .

Stories that the album by Sony was rejected because there was no real single by Apple contradicted yourself.
