“Trust, faith, good, bad...non of it matters. All you ever do is what you have to do. Follow your desires, fulfil your needs, escape from pain. That's all there is to it.” - Kevin Brooks.
"Things you use; things you possess, and are possessed by; things you build with - bricks, words. You build houses with them, and towns, and causeways. But the buildings fall, the causeways cannot go all the way. There is an abyss, a gap, a last step to be taken." - Ursula Le Guin.
HIGH STREET
I took a walk and what did I see
Miles and miles of misery.
Down in the town they offer heaven
For all your pounds.
Get back home open up the bag
Then get the feeling you’ve been had.
Just more shit you didn’t need
Consumption feeds their fix for greed.

Thanks Nuzz. I guess this article must have been written at the time of their nadir. The album that eventually came out did in no way represent the live experience. In fact I don’t think any of their original songs were on it. As we both know, from ‘83 -‘85 they were an ace live band. Little around that could touch them. As a fan who followed them during that period I started to get convinced that I was part of something that was going to be huge. TOTP’s and beyond. They seemed to have everything required, songs, image, musicianship. Sadly it was not to be. They never made it out of the clubs, and suddenly they just seemed to have faded away.
I would dispute the writers assertion that ‘Very little happened’ for Generation X. As far as I recall, quite a bit happened for them.
