                (version 1) Kidd, 1961 (mono), 
        1992 (stereo).  Recorded: 17-08-61 | 
      
        | Johnny Kidd 
        (vocals) - Alan Caddy (lead) - Brian Gregg (bass) - 
        Clem Catinni (drums) - "Thunderclap" Jones (piano) |

        The original recording features the line "When 
        the time comes that you want to go" was 
        replaced with "If the time comes when I've 
        got to go" by the time this second and more 
        refined version of this song was cut. The resulting single featured the legendary 
        Big Jim Sullivan on 
        lead guitar whose solo successfully mimics the band's contemporary 
        recorded style. Sullivans' skill and prowess should have had him held in as 
        high regard as other session guitarists who went on to greater fame, such 
        as Jimmy Page and Richie Blackmore. |

        | When you're looking for someone new Kid me on for a month or two
 But please don't bring me down
 Oh please don't bring me down
 Take all the liberties you want to
 But keep on kidding, don't say we're through
 But please don't bring me down
 
 If you're going out with other guys
 I like it much better if you tell me lies
 But please don't bring me down
 Oh please don't bring me down
 If the time comes when I've got to go
 I'd rather be two-timed than have to know
 But please don't bring me down
 
 (instrumental break)
 
 Take all the liberties you want to
 Keep on kidding, don't say we're through
 But please don't bring me down
 Oh please don't bring me down
 Woah please don't bring me down
