    First time to play, and it's good, but I agree with the comments below about this particular version! :)

    I'm pretty certain that there is two versions of this song, one thats got a more "rockier" edge and has different lyrics, while the other ones more "pop". I prefer the pop one- it sounds like a "real" thompson twins song.

    This is a decent tune. I like it. Like the song "Nothing In Common" from the Tom Hanks movie, that's a great song.

    The girl in this group used to give me nightmares as a child. She was indeed frightening.

    retroguy, that is Alannah Currie. She co-wrote just about all the TT songs and for a time was married to the lead singer, Tom Bailey (the cute redhead).
