Having not heard this song for 30 years or so i watched this video about a month ago and have literally not been able to get the song out of my head.
Every time I wake up its there..... then it disappears again..... but keeps coming back..... Its infectious and is such a testament to those that wrote it and performed it.
It may not have made the top 40 here in england (charts wtf) but this is an absolute classic.

Parkers voice always pulls me in..makes me listen.
I remember when this was cutting edge ..
Still cuts to my heart.

I think that Graham, with no soul-corruption to speak of, will forgive those who need temporary beauty. He is just there to lead the way more than Springsteen or Costello. "You think of parties you'll never attend" - a very common human fault and Graham knows that but it's about fighting it a little more than you would before you heard the song.

Uno de esos temas injustamente olvidados(ciertamente,no por mi) Nunca la he vuelto a escuchar desde que salió, y en la radio no la ponen nunca. Solo se oye basura. Este tema se quedó grabado en mi memoria, y agradezco el que alguien lo haya subido. !Gracias!

Me too. I don't think this is a song about a narcissist at all. I think it's a sad song and I used to cry sometimes hearing it. It's like, without my makeup who or what am I? Even though he sings it as a put down, I've always been amazed at how he could peer into a woman's psyche like that.

@tecnoborg75 Huh? They were contemporaries. Graham may well have started in music before Declan. Besides, this isn't Highlander - there can be more than one.
