confetti falls from every window.

brillant!

lovely but can anybody put up a studio version of this song? I prefer the cleaner studio sound for a song like this

Remember them being played incessantly on Annie Nightingale's show on Radio 1 c.1982.

Classic music for the post-punk generation. How sad it all seems now with the homogenized and plasticized youth culture of today!

@squiffysquirrels i hate comments like this. whenever there's a video with a band from a previous era someone writes "this is great" and then has to slag off everything since. leave it alone and get on with your own shit.

Beautiful song,..

[pierstheoneandonly]

Thanks. Not sure this (or any such festy) is the ideal setting for the Nile. Nonetheless,head-under-the-coo­l-water moments of contemplation in a place of relentless bustle.

@byan85 This is my favourite comment of all time.
