This song is such a gem of the 80s. One of my personal favourites. Not sure what it is about it, the way the bassline drives, how the guitar comes in for the bridge, the gospel-harmony towards the end. In fact, all of Short Romans' works are underrated in the post-punk field. Dirk has a really distinctive voice and lyrical style.

The only songs of theirs I haven't tracked down in digital are the three songs unique to the '4tunes Of War' EP.
