Cover art for Parents lyrics by Budgie

What a sweeping epic this song is...tackles a powerful universal theme in a wholly emotional, successful manner.

I'm sure everyone can relate to this song, being told what to do by your parents, feeling pain and misery, but knowing that you love them and keeping that inside.

'Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday' is my favourite line, because my parents told me meaningless things like that all the time.

This is one of the best epics of the 70s.
