I had not heard this until today when it was the closing song on 1st episode to new 🍎tv Enfield poltergiest series..I have to say I think it resonates through the generations, that time as teenagers where you felt kinda trapped,.a bit p**sed off because of lack of control of your own life and starting to realise that this goes beyond your own 'bubble' but a time you end up looking back at foundly, being at home for the weekend with your family and the goings on repeated again and again throughout UK and not knowing quite how influential the use of your existence will be in the bigger picture of control.
