I like the style, kinda got that "old world" sound to it. The message is sad because it's unfortunately unavoidable, we will all fall down. So let's help make other people's lives pleasant & our own as well.
I m a big fan but not of this one much I m afraid.
I read a funny comment somewhere else where someone imagined that Bob Geldof pushed Midge into doing this song - "You ve got to write fckkin real songs, Midge, with REAL fckkin instruments" lol.
music certainly is a way of understanding history...and current events.This was done at the height of the cold war therefore a very real threat to our freedom and dare i say existence...midge puts it very eloquently and very REAL!!!
Not a Midge Ure fan as such BUT I reckon he absolutely nailed this song....Brilliant, It wasn't so long ago when songs would mean something....

I wonder whether Ultravox were influenced by the Pogues for this unusual track!

First time I heard this music was nearly 20 years ago, but it's still new to some.

my favourite song EVER, very appropriate for Britain since 2007. Unfortunately I think we've already fallen down...

everybody should be made to listen to what our midge is singing in this song. then maybe just maybe we'll have no more wars over nothing.

@TheSandsie13 If only everyone in the world thought as you did.
Unfortunately, those who crave (and thus receive) power rarely have such idealism in mind.
Do your best, be the best person you can be, and just hope that the world can balance itself out no matter what we do to each other.
Peace to ALL men.
