The band itself couldn't have been less punk, but Lowe's nihilistic lyrics presented in such a deadpan way certainly corresponded with the New Wave aesthetic of the time and I was one of the many punk-fan kids who bought the single, helping to propel it into the top 20. #newwave#punk#pubrock 4
As mentioned on my last jam by @ian38018 ...........and don't forget "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" Not only a name-check on the Breaking Glass album by Bowie, but also a mischievous take on the riff from another track: Sound & Vision.
