Adam and the Ants – Goody Two Shoes

Adam and the Ants were a British rock band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original group, which existed from 1977 to 1980, became notable as a cult band marking the transition from the late-1970s punk rock era to the post-punk and New Wave era.

Adam Goddard {Ant} wrote this song when dealing with an everlasting intrusion by the press. They were always asking about his personal life and wondering if he didn't drink or smoke, then what exactly did he do?

Adam has always had a battle with the press and still does to this day.

He was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder when he was 21, and has spoken candidly about his experiences with the effects of the illness In his 31 December 2010 interview for The Sun, Ant also discussed the side effects of medication for his bipolar condition: "In the past I've been a robot. It's been an out-of-body experience. Bipolar means up and down and that's me... Music has always been the best medication.

I was on sodium valproate for seven years.... I couldn't get to sleep and I didn't make love for seven years. My hair fell out and I couldn't pick up a book as I couldn't concentrate. I didn't write a song or pick up a guitar in that time — and piled on the weight.

I might as well have been dead. I work very closely with my GP and any decisions I make are made with him During an interview with BBC 6 Music, he declared that "mental health needs a great deal of attention. It's the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with."
