@tasimana I can't understand why it didn't chart either. The few reasons I can think of is that radio probably wouldn't have given it any air time, as it's really quiet flat & does have the power of Barbados of OOMOOS. This is a song that has to grow on you over time & doesn't have instant hit written all over it. It was also the last single released from the OOMOOS LP, in Dec. '85 & by then has perhaps run it's course?

@levitatingbluecat Yes, according to the picture sleeve of the 7" single, it says that all proceeds were donated to the Salvos. I also read that when Sean was younger, he went through a rough patch and the Salvos helped him out - to which he was eternally greatful for. To this day, I still don't understand the actual meaning behind this song, the lyrics are confusing, & the video makes it even more confusing. FANTASTIC SONG though, both versions of it.

@levitatingbluecat You're right he did just read that in James' book last night.

Thanks nzoz1985, it's a sublime song. I'm pretty sure that Sean Kelly donated the proceeds of that track to the Salvation Army.

wow... that's nice of him! i've always liked this track - it made up greatly for the other two singles they released in that year!
Babados is great, 'out of mind', oh no!
