Hello Ian, I just saw you at the Roxy with my husband and two of our children, actually adults now. Maybe you remember, we saw you a couple of hours before the concert in the parking lot outside of the building. I was introduced to you by my husband in 1980. We went to our first concert in San Francisco when we were expecting our first child. You have been a constant in our married life together. Your music has followed our romance in a beautiful way. This song is new to me. My husband played it as I made dinner this evening. What a gift. We love you. Thank you for almost 35 years of your poetry.
I've never heard this song before, never even heard of it, even after reading Rock n Roll Sweepstakes Part II which is pretty encyclopedic. Ian has a problem with love songs, but this is a powerful dissection of male masculinity in 21st century Britain, masculinity of the ' Is it really OK?" variety. Americans, for all our over-heated Metooism would laugh at the guy's hesitancy to take what is sitting on his plate, but it is a superb social observation and a powerful song.
@@glamejm cheers , my album collection is a few short , lots weren't released in New Zealand .. but I never got a dud album from Ian , thanks for the post , and reply .

I’m crying … amazing lyrics.

More about the song in "Ian Hunter On Track" for Sonicbond Publishing.
Not he heard this before . Was it a CD bonus disc ?
