Recorded in 1971 at an all night event at Newcastle University with a long list of bands on the bill including the Strawbs with Rick Wakeman, Argent, Blodwyn Pig and Man. This was a real tour de force because we opened the show early in the evening and also had another spot at about 4am. But it was such a great atmosphere and we were performing with some of the best bands around so it didn't feel like hard work.
Sounds Like Good Advice gives some advice for when you find yourself in one of those frustrating situations when appealing to reason just doesn't seem to have any effect. It's not a subtle approach, but it works every time.
Don’t like this modern way of living
Brings trouble every day
No matter which way that you turn now
Always someone getting in your way
The Taxman sent me a letter
Told me that I owe him a lot
How are you expected to do it
Paying what you haven’t got?
I asked my Financial Advisor
He said “Tell ‘im to f*** off!”
Sounds like good advice
No good trying to be nice
Woke up early this morning
Must have been half past four
Got up and looked out the window
Landlord hammering on my door
Shouting that he wanted his money
Rent’s way overdue
Turned to my woman in bed, now
Asked her “What we gonna do?”
She just yawned me an answer
She said “Tell ‘im to f*** off!”
Sounds like good advice
No good trying to be nice
The Landlord called in the Bailiff
And the Police are standing by
They’re gonna take all that I’ve got now
They're gonna hang me out high and dry
They won’t seem to listen to reason
Won’t see my point of view
Thought I’d better ring up my Lawyer
Ask him what I ought to do
He said “If you want my opinion
You should tell ‘im to f*** off!”
Sounds like good advice
No good trying to be nice
