Written by Anthony King, this was taken from the album, 'Spare Parts' and was the first Status Quo single to feature Rick Parfitt singing lead vocals.

A promotional black and white film was produced for the song in 1966, filmed on Little Green Street, an eighteenth century lane in North London, located off Highgate Road in Kentish Town and featured each member of the band dressed as undertakers, as well as playing various other characters throughout. The song, like many others by the group, deals with the poverty and misery found in the poorer end of English society. Written by group leader, Ray Davies, and originally released as a non-album single, but has since been included as one of several bonus tracks from the reissued 'Face To Face' CD.

Leapy Lee signed to MCA Records in 1968 and released the single, 'Little Arrows' written by the then virtually unknown Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood.
