I cannot hear this song without thinking of its bonkers Bauhaus video - as I think I suggested yesterday, possibly the best of the bonkers age of the music video, the 80s. Mind you video never did quite kill the radio star.

About Me
- David Roberts
- Once upon a time there was a lawyer called David who did nicely out of the law for twenty years before it chewed him up and spat him out. He retired and went back to university which was lovely. Then there was a lawyer called David again. Part-time. This time it lasted three years before he and the law parted by mutual consent. Now he styles himself an independent academic - which is code for retired/unemployable.
I have a second blog recording a project to dramatise Vile Bodies which can be found at http://thestagingofvilebodies.blogspot.com/
