Grenslade - Bedside Manners Are Extra 1973

　実にオシャレなプログレだ。テクではなくシンセのアレンジでファンキーな感じからガラッと幻想的なムードを出したりしてなかなか聴かせる曲になっています。なにより歌詞が意味深です。。。

Now that you know I'm not the kind to be kind to be cruel
Would you resist a small goodbye, but a kiss would be cool
Maybe you're too young to be fooled, I know
Bedside manners were extra at finishing school

Many a cloud has passed, the last time I loved didn't last
Although it's goodbye, the old school tie came in useful but fast
Your mother and father weren't to know what we already know

Please write to me if you have the time
Please write to me, let me know you're mine
Please write to me, please fly to me, please

bedside manners = ちょっと想像とは違って本来は入院患者へ接する心得。
　　　　　　　　　　　　この場合、入院するほど患っている患者とは自分のことか。
finishing school = 昔は名家の令嬢が社会に出るまでに必要な教養や作法などを身に付けるためのこのような学校があった。
