Hvem synger you gotta be cruel to be kind?
Nick Lowe
"Cruel to Be Kind" blev oprindeligt skrevet af Nick Lowe og Ian Gomm, mens de var med i Brinsley Schwarz, og blev indspillet som en demo i denne periode. Lowe udtalte: "Jeg skrev den, da jeg var med i et band, Brinsley Schwarz, som jeg var med i fra begyndelsen af 70'erne til omkring midten af 70'erne. ... Vi indspillede den på en demo, den kom aldrig ud, og da jeg skrev kontrakt med Columbia Records, foreslog den daværende A & R-mand der, at jeg skulle indspille den igen. Og jeg troede ikke, at det ville gøre noget, men han overtalte mig til det."

"Cruel to Be Kind" was originally written by Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm while in Brinsley Schwarz, having been recorded as a demo during this period. Lowe stated, "I wrote that when I was with a band, Brinsley Schwarz, that I was with from the early '70s to about the mid-'70s. ... We recorded it on a demo, it never came out, and when I signed to Columbia Records the A & R man there at the time suggested I record it again. And I didn’t think it would do anything, but he kind of bullied me into it."
