Comment: The version found on Lindisfarne's 'Caught in the act' is 
	 quite different for the lyrics. The 1st verse of this one
	 is dropped. The 1st one is what's the 2nd of this one.
   	 The 2nd verse is completely new.

         2nd verse from "Caught in the act"
	 ----------------------------------
	 The doctor said I wasn't looking too well,
	 the nurse said I looked distincly pale,
	 when I told them folk to bugger off and go to hell
	 a policeman he threw me in jail.


	 1st verse from "Back To Basics"
	 ----------------------------------
	 My father is an armchair
	 my mother is a rug
	 my sister is a spider
	 and my brother is a bug.
