Did not get the succes they deserved due to two things. The sectarianism of the left with the NME's SWP domintaed writers doing them down and there uncompromising lyrics. Criticising the Labour party and its camp followers and supporting the struggle for Irish independence was not popular. Musicaly and lyrically a great band. When they first came out they were talked about as being better than the Smiths and James.
I was in Athens, Georgia when this came out... I bought it. Perhaps I might have been their most devout American fan. This song really makes me feel things I could never put a finger on. There's no mistake why they weren't extremely popular. Thinking with one's soul never is, is it?
This boy can sing!

Great song although this mix doesn't do it justice.

Thank you!
Great band, maybe they deserved a little more success.
I'm falling in a nostalgic mood.
