Personally, I've never really been a big fan of the shouted word style shown here and because my elder brother, Steve Hopkins, was one of the Invisible Girls and therefore, composed the music and played on a lot of the tracks on the album Zip Style Method, which features this poem, I would also recommend a listen with the music:
• I Wanna Be Yours - especially those studying this for their GCSEs. Whilst you're there, check out 'The Ghost of Al Capone' track on this album.
