There There My Dear - 2000 Remaster

Written as an open letter to a pseudo-intellectual musician called Robin, this horn-led song acts as a dismissal of a dishonest music scene. Kevin Rowland told The Guardian: "It's an angry song. In the lyrics, I'm addressing 'Robin,' but he was the personification of a certain type of middle-class musician in NME, quoting Kerouac and Burroughs and all these authors I'd never read."

In the Searching for the Young Soul Rebels liner notes, the song title is followed by the line "P.S. Old clothes do not make a tortured artist."

After the song's closing notes, Rowland sings unaccompanied the main chorus of Lee Dorsey's 1969 R&B classic "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky (From Now On)."
