one of buzzcocks greatest !
pure punk and pure pop at the same time, nobody made it so perfect !
the title phrase is taken from the essential book by Aldous Huxley... sorry, I'm French and I don't know its name in English, in French that's "Le meilleur des mondes".
One of the characters in that book isn't "normal", he can't help being sad and disgusted by the supposedly ideal world in which he lives. Men and women are led by pure lust and no love, and to that man, people tend to be just machines that fuck together... He briefly tells a woman about his hatred of the way things are, but she can't understand it, she's been formated not to feel any sentiment, no fear no hate no deep melancholy. So she asks him : "How can you tell that ? Everybody's happy nowadays."
