Love this song! And what a genius to have written such an intense chord sequence and melody, with such touching, poignant lyrics. This said, I'd like to add: he looks as if he didn't even have to shave, back then.
Bought the NME with the C81 cassette attached. Loved this one, first time I'd hear/heard of AC. Still have that cassette, remained in Texas all these 40 years, a great compilation!
It's a fairly poor audio track (the reocrding not the performance), but worth it for Roddy's hair - and the fact that it's a wonderful song... Oh to be young again!
Wonder why they're all wearing the same Sergio Tacchini tracksuits? They would have been very expensive in 1983 and very fashionable, particularly among football hooligans.
F*in amazing. Love the song n almost choked giggling at the vid. What r the 2 schoolteachers doin dancing on the stage? And why the standard-issue Startrek trackie tops for the band? Sadly I'l probably neva know. Mr Frame you are a mad genius. With a most unique history of hairdos : )
