about

Bad Advice is about imperious people thinking they know better and offering up their so called “advice”. It came out of hearing about yet another shooting in the US targeting the LGBTQI+ community and feeling incensed by such ignorance. It’s also just a really awesome song to play live and I every time I put it on I can’t wait to hear the bebop horn arrangement by Trevor Mires in the outro.

lyrics

I met a man at the bar who’s hidden all his life
The multi-coloured flag he flew before he found a wife
Now he’s daring to be brave since he severed ball from chain
And be the man his father fears ‘cause he was just the same

There’s a woman on the phone desperate to be heard
But the protest in her mother’s tone means she can’t get in a word
She’s trying to convince her she’ll live to regret
Not listening to her body clock, as if she could forget

Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice

Imperious people just care less about the room
Living this vicarious life through another view
They say “it’s ‘cause we care and it’s just for your own good”
But it’s funny how we’ve figured out we’re living like we should

Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice

Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants is your pride
Maybe you should leave her alone

Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice

Maybe you should leave her alone
You know all he wants in your pride
Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes
‘Cause that’s bad advice
