The notes on "Business As Usual" credit this song to Robb Johnson. Additionally, Roy Bailey noted:

"Robb Johnson is, in my opinion, one of our most creative writers at the moment, writing consistently good songs. "Merrie Olde England" was, I presume, written after the general election of April 1992! His comment is apparent. Our shared view of the world attracts me to his writing and I've include 5 of his songs here."
