I confess that this is the only song I know by #TheCardiacs but since hearing it first in 1989 its instant and obvious power has not diminished. I watched a few live versions on YouTube yesterday and I know that their fans are committed and full of passion and this was evident from the videos.

I have linked to a Radio 1 session recording of it because it is longer than the official video available online, but that is worth watching too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I-DIQDV-og

From the archives:

The magnificent Sarah Smith lays down some absolutely sublime vocals on this. I adore this song.
