My Revolution is a co-written track, reflects back on Ian's Mott The Hoople period and was mostly Casino Steel's idea. There is a reference to "a revolution for fun" arising from the Mott LP. Steel liked Mott The Hoople a great deal. They lyrics are about those raucous romps which included trying to guess whose kid is whose and the revolution is not for politics but for being randy and partying. That the party can continue in advancing years is noted by the line "you'd better lock up your mum!"

My Revolution is another standout track, this time looking back to Ian's Mott days - fans will appreciate the reference to "a revolution for fun", while Ian acknowledges the advancing years in the next line with "you better lock up yer mum!" Sheer brilliance.
My Revolution
(Casino Steel/Ian Hunter/Dangerfield)
You were just a twinkle in your teenage mother's eyes
I was squeezing Brylcreem on my hair
No one taught us how to be politically correct
And no one told our winkles what to wear
I've been there, I've done it
I've seen it all
That was my contribution oh-oh
So much for the revolution
When someone said, "let's go to bed" nobody was scared
We were up to no good all the time
Judging by those freckles and the shades upon your nose
It's possible you could be one of mine
I've been there, I've done it
I've seen it all
That was my revolution
On the road again, back at number ten
Underneath the lights a thousand and one nights
A revolution for fun
You better lock up your mum
I've been there, I've done it
Well, I've seen them come and go
That's for you to guess and that's for me to know
oh, baby
That's for you to guess and that's for me to know
So much for revolution
So much for revolution
That was my revolution
