Absolutely unreal lyrics,Paul Simpson should be recognized as one of the lyricists to come out of Britain,this song alone would quantify that,but 2011's album "The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years" just puts an exclamation mark on it !

It was 'produced' by the band's mate Pete De Frietas of The Bunnymen, who IIRC paid for the studio time. He hadn''t a clue what he was doing. The recording is in Mono because he pressed the wrong button.
@@thekarachannel4281Yes, I think it makes it sound like it could have been a Postcard Records release. It adds to its charm, like the original version of Falling and Laughing by Orange Juice compared to the Polydor version.
this is so good.......the 80s are in need of rediscovery
Thank you for posting this. My favorite WS cut.
Another tip top track from when I was 16
Great tune
reminds me of a girl I knew at C.F Mott on prescot road. :)
thumbs up if you think this singer sounds just like the frontman of Australian band the Triffids?
i think there is a trace of ian curtis from joy division in the singing department
@@benturner6525 when i first heard the smiths i thought it was paul singing.
but would you not agree that it adds to its charm?
I try to sing this song. To myself of course, cos I'll never reach these notes!
"Lost in the delta of Venus,
Lost in a welter of shame,
Deep in the forest of evil,
We embark on the new crusade ...."
My God !!! Brilliant.

Little sister, can't you find another way?
Absolutely. Heard this on the radio last night and thought the QOTSA song must be a cover of this. Total rip-off.
I think the vocals were recorded in a nightclub khazi-great acoustics apparently. Cld be an urban myth tho.

Sounds a lot like the QOTSA little sister in the hook , So much that i thought it was a cover song .
Heard this on the radio last night and thought "Little Sister". QOTSA doing a little pilfering.
One of the finest songs ever recorded, coupled with some of the worst production ever achieved! Shame really.

MICHAEL Daly That’s just made me love it even more.
The production has a unique charm

But it exists and that’s surely the greatest thing!
No.
They never once heard a Joy Division record. Really.
Vaughan Green Not sure you have either. 🤔
I see no similarity? Ian could write, sure, but Paul was onto something otherwordly here and this lineup were divine
Paul Simpson could certainly be placed on the same pedestal as Ian Curtis,a much under-rated and acknowledged songwriter.
why compare, they are two distinct bands each approaching a similar subject from a different angle.
