There can never be another Soft Cell. Gritty realism, with a dash of sleaze.

Youve got to have lived the eighties to accept the campness of the acts, this song sent shivers through me after all the years.
@mbrady23293 жыл бұрын
Indeed - every pop act nowadays seems to be compartmentalised into some little marketing demographic box and to have all the life groomed out of it! And whilst openly gay artists are everywhere now, they're styled by their record labels to look acceptable to grannies in the suburbs.

I was about 20 when this song was out. They were on the pulse of the early eighties. If you can't relate to this song, you may be soulless🤔 l just read the lyrics after all these years, brought me to tears, mostly because of my kids and the struggle they're having finding truth and meaning in these perilous times. So much deception and fruitless ambition all around. There's tons of knowledge, very little wisdom
