We Don't Need An Agenda

"We Don't Need An Agenda" is a song written by Luke Melvin included on his May 1970 triple album Nature Will Take Everything.

Composition
"We Don't Need An Agenda" was a song that just came to him one day. Melvin said: "That song is a really odd one. I was just sitting at home watching tele one day when suddenly this tune came into my head: ding ding ding do do do, bang bang boo boo boo boo and then these words: 'We don't need a ding ding ding do do do, it doesn't really bang bang boo boo boo boo'. So all I needed to do was work out that riff on guitar, find out the chords, and I had a song for Nature Will Take Everything."

Recording
In January 1970, the song was largely recorded, with the slide guitar overdubs in February. The song was mixed in March.
