God, has this on an old VHS tape which got chewed by the machine - never thought I'd see it again. thank you so much for posting. 26 years ago...hard to believe. As the young people say nowadays, TUNE!!!! :)
they produced three stunning albums which coincided with my university years...unfortunately (if we're honest) they clashed with 'the smiths' - who were even better....if mozzer hadn't been there, lloyd cole would still be a big star today....the critics were 'smiths' fans....inevitably, because they were so much more original....but 'the commotions' made three truly great albums - which i still love and admire to this day...
@mrjoegrennon thanks for being polite...but the smiths' product (ironic, funny, sad, angry) was the most original direction in english music since bowie's best years in the early 70s...i agree that lloyd cole was under-rated....his music and his talent deserved a wider audience.
I stumbled on this the other, I have not heard this song for 20 years, having never upgraded my lloyd cole albums to cds. It amazed me how I still knew ever single word. Where does that information hang out for 20 years. Off to see Lloyd in Cambridge 28/4/09
Nobody could sing like that before or since. Or write those lyrics or write that drum line. Lightning in a bottle. The audience shold be pogoing yet they look dead. Stunned actually.

I politely disagree.Smiths stink compared to Lloyd Cole...nothing but a load of boring sexual innuendo, and cliche depression....BOOO!

Heat of the moment spout, I take it back....I've owned smith albums since 1985...they're two different kinds of emotion.

I hadn't heard that song since the 80s either, but I still remembered that hook. Lovely song, I'm surprised it didn't do better.
