Great, absolutely awesome album opener - terrible single though! I couldn't understand parts of what he was singing so I went to look at the lyric sleeve...and there was freaking Japanese hiragana where I expected English words to be! I love languages and speak 2 (and 1/2 lol), it irritated me to no end back then that I didn't even notice he had started singing in a language other than English in the middle of the song!! It is a fantastic example of how his voice can make understanding him...quite difficult at times hahaha.
Now, NOW I've got the Japanese bit, in hiragana, tattooed on my arm, just under Gary's face (from the Tubeway Army album) on my wrist. This song will always be special to me!!
