Barclay James Harvest - Back to the Wall 1981
Stranger at the gate let him in
Stranger at the gate let him in
Stranger at the gate let him in
Won't you let him in
He's been waiting on the other side
He's been waiting on the other side
He's been waiting for the turn of the tide
Won't you let him in
Promises leave you with nothing to show
Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go
Back to the wall
Have you seen the light?
Is your soul worth saving?
Back to the wall
Can you pay the price
Then your life is waiting
Down by the shore
We can help you no more
Standing with our back to the wall
Yeah yeah yeah
(Instrumental)

@punditpete Well, that's one opinion. Personally I don't think he looks any more uncomfortable than most people do with a camera stuck in their face and a staged set unless you want to see discomfort.... perhaps a bit of projection going on there?
Also - "back to the wall" was always intended as a double meaning... listen again...

Oh my god! I am a massive BJH fan but this whole thing (song and video) sucks.
John Lees looks very uncomfortable here and it is an obvious attempt by the band to be commercial and have a hit.
