Anybody know this band...the singer sounds like Peter Murphy. Here are some of the lyrics (my interpretation, dunno if it's accurate).

Things you feel today
Are looked at in a different way
So why cry and why defend
The ache that is your permanent friend
How can you be sure
That every time you look to the door
Give him half a chance
It might take your life or make you dance(?)

We can dance together baby
so don't give this game away
We can dance together baby
(wow oh ho)

That is "President Reagan Is Clever" and the title is "This Game"; a great song, a rare ep, and their only release (I think). Happy hunting.

The ep was titled "From This to That" and it was released on Hyena Records.

Five tracks:

- This Game
- Lock, Stock & Barrel
- Four Walls
- Ostrich
- The Wheel

Band Members: Iain Henderson, David Hildick-Smith, Tim Keogh, Justin Lord.

I believe they may have opened for The Fall a few times.

LOL!! Yes, a bit of an unintentional cock-up.
