When I got home that night early one morning My bread keeps landing jam side down
Yes Quo will have wished they penned this one themselves in the seventies as fits nicely 😀
I’m slow so it’s Britten’s song? I only got about half way through and chucked it.The Quo version is so much better,catchy although still terribly average song if we are comparing to proper Quo. The video of them messing about on the navy ship was fun.

"You are my destiny You bring out the best in me You make me feel so lucky So lucky to have you And I need you"
Awful, puerile, cringeworthy lyric that the likes of Westlife would've been too embarrassed to sing.
A mindbogglingly idiotic, self-defeating decision to use this track to promote an album being hailed for its resurrection of the Rossi/Young songwriting partnership and rediscovery of something approaching Quo's classic sound. Its primary message was, "We have no confidence in our own songwriting ability", when virtually every self-penned track on the album was infinitely superior.

my bread keeps landing jam side down!! LOL. Imagine Frame singing that on any of their 70's albums. Yeah, almost as bad as imagining him singing "when I was a little baby boy just to sit and play would be my joy. Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong" on one of the 70s albums. Or Alan singing "I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah". Oh, hang on....

I fail to understand why go with this dreadfully bland,cheesy number when there was so much of their own quality material on the album.

A song about some bread dropping on the floor jam side down and causing a mess and then spending 3 minutes complaining about it. They even made a video highlighting the issue.
About as far away as rock n roll as you can get. Even 'Tommy's in love, his mother would say' has an edge about it.
Dreadful number.
