One of his greats. Beautiful. Thanks so much for posting. So many great lyrics, but "i long to let our love run free, yet here i am, a victim of geography" one of Billy's best.

The chain that fell off my bike last night
Is now wrapped round my heart
Sometimes I think that
Fate has been against us from the start
I long to let our love run free
Yet here I am a victim of geography....
Beautiful..... i have this on vinyl, the white one...one of my favorite with the Talking with the taxman....
Fanx for up mate! :)
