My favourite song of all time. As a 16 year old apprentice listening to PSB on my Sony Walkman little did I know as a 51 year old man I would still be a huge Pethead. Seen them many times and been lucky enough to meet them on several occasions. Hotspot is amazing and was looking forward to Dreamworld show in Glasgow. Just have to wait till next year. Stay safe Pethead"s everywhere.

Nothing beats the song King's Cross! Year in, year out, wonderful songs are released, but King's Cross is simply phenomenal! It can still move us, 37 years later, with its unique chords, with a synthesizer that today we would say is very limited!!! And even so, what a work of art Neil and Chris created!❤❤ "King's Cross" is the Pelé of music, nothing can be as touching to our souls as this song does! ❤ It just makes me a little sad that Neil and Chris are no longer taking this song on their tours, after all it has always been a special highlight on every tour it has been played on!!!👏👏

Neither is anything missing nor redundant. All decisions are made masterfully and with utter taste, just like a classical composer would write their score. The melodies are timeless and beautiful, even Mozart would have said "oh, thank you, I'll use that one". Not to mention their harmonies and lyrics. Just unpretentious class.

I need to share a story about this track...I was a pupil of Gosforth High School and in my first year of English Literature GCSE I had to write a poem. I had nothing to come up with at all as like most kids I had a hatred of homework. I basically had to hand this poem in the next morning so I copied the lyrics of Kings Cross and handed it in....I got an 'A' and then had to read it out to the class....(my English Literature teacher was over the moon and thought it was one of the most insightful poems he'd ever heard..lol)..I have no evidence but my word, but this is a true story....Even better, in the last term of my GCSE a year later I did the same with It Couldn't Happen Here....I'm hoping teachers are a bit more hip to this these days....lol
