About the song
When The Police recorded Outlandos d'Amour they had a lot of material to choose from. For Reggatta de Blanc they were kind of short of new songs. Sting came up with a few songs he had written on tour and also made use of material he wrote for Last Exit. So this LP also features a few "fillers" by Stewart Copeland that might have started as Klark Kent songs. It's Alright For You and On Any Other Day are two of those, where Stewart played all the instruments (except for the guitar solo on It's Alright For You). As they were still a bit short of material they even reused No Time This Time, the 1978 b-side for So Lonely. A great song from that period was shelved, probably as it didn't fit stylistically: Low Life.

The other ones are complete bullshit D’ya want something corny? You got it. There's a house on my street And it looks real neat I'm the chap who lives in it There's a tree on the sidewalk There's a car by the door I'll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He'll look for a place to sit My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay Cut off my fingers in the Door of my car How could I do it? My wife is proud to tell me Of her love affairs How could she do this to me? My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day Throw down the morning papers And spill my tea I don't know what's wrong with me The cups and plates are in a Conspiracy I'm covered in misery My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day
