Just heard this on TOTP2. Warranted a further listen. Very cool track. Quite haunting.

[nintendy]

Such memorable music of days gone by... Gosh do these old songs show you just how unoriginal and awful music has become... I guess the fact they ended up axing TOTP is proof of that! Thanks for Postiing this great old tune.

[MrPhilcity]

[DAZZYBSAM]

Quality , brings back a few memories :))

[TheEctomorph]

"See the man who's been crying for a million years, So many tears, See the bird who's collecting broken hearts for souvenirs, It's more exciting than a one man band."

When one is listening to this song, the German word: "SCHADENFREUDE" springs to mind, so it does. From what I understand, that word basically means: to take a malicious enjoyment in the misfortune or suffering of others. Rather unkind!

[heathclifflinton128]

@TheEctomorph Er...I think it's 'see the GIRL who's collecting broken hearts'!

[TheEctomorph]

@heathclifflinton128 Well ... er ... yes! How very politically incorrect of me to replace the word "girl" with the colloquial term "bird". lol.

Well spotted, sir.

[Ninevah77]

@TheEctomorph Actually, I commented in my friend's name (heathclifflinton) by mistake (well, he should sign out of his account). i thought it was funny, 'see the bird who's collecting broken hearts'. Gave me the best laugh of my day.

[NekoBellator]

I love this song. I remember when my dad used to play this for me. Well done Barry and thank you for uploading reggaediva1

[TravelNeville]

I love this song. That instrumental break towards the end always sends (good) shivers down my spine. So different from so much music now where there's one catchy riff and that's it

[tigerfeet666]

lovely memeries of the past im now looking foward to the afterlife,or shit ,i prefer the former..you are not born for fuck all all..you maybe a cunt but that is another story..life is short so fuck you.

[procrustesuk]

This must be the bleakest lyric of any popular song...

See the man who's been crying for a million years, so many tears

See the girl who's collecting broken hearts for souvenirs

I think only war poets have ever matched this level of grim despair, this is a work of genius and I mean that with no irony.

[carmel1956]

@procrustesuk Perhaps the saddest?

[specialbeamcannon1]

grew up listening to this and it one of my favourate song ever
