its just terrible that James and Pete died so soon. not only did we lose two very young and talented musicians, but also half of one of the greatest and most unified bands of the early 80's.
@integral I've looked at all the "lyrics sites" also, but no chorus. The closest I can make out is "Oooo can't you get, I love your daughter...."I'm (something something) man", at the end. Drivin' me crazy! ;)
They did the Gary Numan spoof with Kenny Everett as well. Has anybody got "Kid" and "Brass in Pocket" from Swap Shop? The BBC has wiped all the original tapes!!
gone but never forgot... James - Pete
