This is a rather touching tale about an ex-girlfriend who split with John just after his first hit “Cor Baby that’s Really Free”. John’s live audiences however are well known for taking their amusement at all of John’s disasters be they professional or private (He’s had many of both!!)
This track appears on his DVD (John Otway – Beware of the Flowers) as part of one of two live shows included. Part of the way through John tells the band to “Shut Up” and addresses the audience. “This isn’t bloody funny! What do you do when your woman has gone away?”
“WANK!” they all reply in unison.

This song was originally written by Bob Lind in 1966. Covered by Blues Project the same year and then by Adam Faith who got it to number 46 in the UK charts.
