I certainly didn't skip past this track without a care. Indeed, nearly 25 years on, it can still piss all over anything within the sorry, sad state of soul-less shit which is current chart 'music'. Quite astonishing, for an album track.

wow. thank you.  this song ignited such wild erotic thoughts is my young mind at the time. i thought it had a heavy, throbbing, pink floyd-esque feel to it. sort of like the darker, slightly less eloquent cousin of 'great gig in the sky.' it really did the trick. and i still respond to it.

thanks.

I remember I had this song on my ipod for a few years ago, together with lots of other frankie goes to hollywood songs, and I remember just skipping it every time, because I didnt like it! so this one day, I couldnt bother to pull out my ipod to skip song, so I chose to just listen to it and "get over it" , Best thing I've ever done !!! :) This song is a pure perfection!!!

this takes me straight back to being 17 years old.

This song to me is proof that music and magic are one and the same!!

[OzzyGezzy]

I think this song is extremely similar to Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine" does anyone agree??

Wonder of wonders .... the contrast of melody with sensuality.

Someone said - "There are three ways of being in paradise ... a is through poetry, the other is through painting and the other is music."

So there's a way to enter the gates of paradise!

This was always one of my favourite track from the album. Very hypnotic!
