And now they're trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
Hey
On every corner I can see them there

    I remember I got their albums because they were "like" U2 the record store owner said. This was so new, I didn't even hear it play but bought it. I may still have that vinyl somewhere but it was played for over 20 years.

    ....They may have blew them off the stage in 1983 but (2).........how many classic songs have The Alarm got in their repertoir? Still, never mind, better to have written one classic than none at all..........

    & just as essential to an Irish lad. Excellent band.

    Much maligned by the trendy London music critics, but they were pretty essential to a working class Welsh lad in the early 80's !

    I love this song...and to Me Jesus of Suburbia sound like a medley of cover songs...this being part of the medley.

    Never got the acclaim they deserved. If U2 had written this, everyone would have raved about it.

    Parts of the song "Jesus of Suburbia" reminds me of this. A Wicked song :)

    They may have blew them off the stage in 1983 but fast forward 25 years and U2 is still spinning the gold............ go figure.
