This was a track off the Heavy Lifting EP, which I believe came out a little after their excellent self-titled album. If it's a B-side from the self-titled, I can understand why it was left out - it has a different feel, a little lighter and more upbeat than most of the songs on that album, light and upbeat as it was. But "Straight A's" has great vocal harmonies and a nice, catchy little melody pervading it. I often find myself whistling the opening licks of the song. The lyrical content I can't vouch for, but in my opinion Ambulance LTD were never especially strong on writing - overall songwriting is their forte, but if you don't think too hard about it, the words still sound good - in your ears. Enjoy.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading about ambulance equipment. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
