Chris was the lyricist in the Difford and Tilbrook writing team, and sang a somewhat monotonic bottom to Glenn's polished soprano. This is one of the few songs that Difford sang lead on, and it's pretty good. Which reminds me, this lp should be in the LP thread.

and a real interesting mix of the same tune that's pretty cool laid over a live performance - highly recommended

I didn't think I knew their music, but I did recognize a few of the ones I tested. Not too bad.
