Cover art for Real Tears For Sale lyrics by Marillion

Saw them perform this the other night. It's apparently written in response to Sinead O'conner's 'nothing compares to you' pop video.

Which makes sense of the 'shaved your head' line.

Incidentally I think Sinead's song was written after break-up with Anthony Keidis and he wrote 'could have lied' about her, but I can't remember where I heard that.
