this is a very touching song. i like it very. my brother also does...sick guys are so tortured in this life and the worst thing is that they do not know why...it's not their fault..it's not fair at all
Nigel's parents have the perfect plan to fit Nigel properly into society. They want him to succeed. Unfortunately for NIgel, his talents may not coincide with his parent's desires. "We only want what's best for him." "NIgel's whole future is as good as sealed." NIgel has other ideas and plans for himself. Consequently, NIgel is tragically sad. Nigel feels only happy "in his world." In summary, think for yourself and make your own decisions. (but, take some advice, too)
@christopherm2k But the lyric sheet says "in his WORK". I'd always thought (and many people assume) that they said "world" - it just fits, "in his world" his better...
These old videos may look primitive today, but when I was a teen we got so excited over videos! Maybe because they were rationed out to us...hence the phrase "I want my - (you know)"
I think 80's music has endured because it was so important to us back then, music is NOT disposable when you are using your weekly allowance to get it.
Love this band then and now and forever .Just the shit .witty, musical, cute . English POP perfection ....

"he has his future in a British Steel" therefore Nigel is happy in his WORK not world.

I always thought these guys were good musicians.
