@74posy Totally agree..........now Saturday night is about being banned from watching the TV because it is block-booked for bloody X Factor all night from September-ish till Christmas!!!

Love this!!! Never get bored of hearing it. I saw OMD in Birmingham a couple of years ago and ChIna Crisis were supporting so it was a huge bonus to hear them sing this on top of a great gig by OMD! ; )

I love this song as it just begs you to ask the questions no-one wants to answer!!! Save the planet........PLEASE

Big Country were the first band I paid to see in concert - Birmingham NEC about 1983. I was about 13, I had a 100% wool tartan shirt on to keep with the tartan style and so sweated my nads off!!! My mate and I were on the very back row of the NEC and I it was a helluva drop behind me but the c...

Great post..........thanks for putting this on. Takes me back to when I was kid and I loved this song. Brings back some memories. Cheers.
