Plenty of good advice - some maybe a little tongue in cheek - and some great guitar.

John Bartram wrote this song as mainly a political rant, and it's his voice you hear at the beginning saying "My old Dad..." Pete and Heather are amused to be in a band with him, as most politically oriented musicians are either left-wing or greens (or both). John, however, is a staunch Conservative (for any youngsters or foreigners, they were Lady Thatcher's lot) and drives the Battle Bus for their candidate at election time. John writes new verses whenever he has something he needs to get off his chest, and drops those that become obsolete, so the version you'll hear at a gig won't be the same as this, which is similar to the CD version.

Now, my old Dad, he ain't no genius,
but neither is he a fool!
He says: "Son, wherever you go in life,
you must remember the Golden Rule..."

Think Twice before saying "I feel fine"
Think Twice, for I can show you a better time
Think Twice before letting your lips kiss mine
Unless you like the taste of whisky and wine...
