Lyrics:
I don't want half hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again
It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it
Yeah
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be yeah perfect

Just played this at my husbands funeral as everyone was leaving. It was played repeatedly at our wedding song in 1988, and seeemd a fitting tribute to be the last song played for him . 💔

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband - I'm sure you loved him very much. You might be interested to know my first job was as a Product Manager at RCA/BMG and I did the marketing for Fairground Attraction who were one of my first successes! Perfect was just that and the album was amazing too. The band were lovely and I went to New Orleans with them for a video shoot. Although a tough industry with long hours and challenging work, I had a blast and feel very lucky to have had 20+ years of fun in the music business (domestic and international so I got to travel too). I'm living in the USA but still have very fond memories of this band, the graphic designers (Andy Vella and Laurence Stevens) and the whole RCA team.

That's what made the 80's so special. At any time you could turn on AC radio and hear a country, jazz, rock-a-billy, rock, pop, swing, gospel, new wave, punk, easy listening, hip-hop, reggae, rap, soft-rock, hard rock, disco, contemporary, R&B song--and that was just in the first hour!

I came looking for this today, because it was playing in Morrison's. I was in the alcohol aisle, and I noticed a little, middle aged woman dancing along to it. She saw me looking and just went with it, dancing at me, smiling behind her mask, eyes creasing, until I danced back at her. It is the first time I've heard this tune since it was played at my friend's funeral. Mixed emotions, obviously, but a classic tune and a wonderful moment.

Hey that's me sitting on the bow of the narrowboat, I was there to make the rain, It was shot along the Regents Canal from Little Venice and down into Limehouse Basin where we stopped for lunch, I'm pretty sure we must have gone to the Grapes, because I recollect looking out over the Thames from a balcony in the pub. Being the late 80's when health and safety wasn't so rampant, little consideration was given for water born pathogens such as Weil's disease the water for the rain being pumped straight from the canal, and for some of the shots in Eyre's Tunnel with a generator running (providing power for the lighting) that was progressively smoking us out, we were 'footing' the boat backwards and forwards to get the right speed of travel for the shot. Just another day in the life of a physical FX guy.
