First one in an occasional series of some of my absolute favourite songs.
Lots of things about this song: the lovely melancholy chords; the line "I don't know how I'm meant to act in front of you lot, Sometimes I don't try"; the innuendo throughout the song from the title down; Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger's vocals; the beautiful strings; the saxaphone.
It sounds like being fifteen all over again. It sounds like first loves and lost loves. It sounds like the snow falling and the sky falling in.
I love it.
PS: It's "The Beat", never "The English Beat"......

lol; somebody I know was searching for The Beat on youtube and couldn't find them. Because you had to search 'english beat' because most of the vids had been uploaded by Americans.
It's a strange state of affairs though; it's easier to buy the albums under the name English Beat though...
You're not that silly in the States: try buying The Beat in this country...
