    Around the time this came out they also had an album called Love Bites and I went into my local record store in Camberley and asked the girl if she had love bites. She got all embarrassed but I explained it was by the Buzzcocks and she found me a copy. We chatted, I asked her for a date and we have been married for 40 years now. Brings back great memories. Thanks guys.

    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with

    Must have been 1980 by time I heard the Buzzcocks out here in Oz as I got into punk. Never thought I would get to see a pommy punk band but one day we were holidaying in Adelaide South Australia and there was a poster on a pole advertising the Buzzcocks at a local pub (1990). I didn’t believe it would actually be them, maybe just a cover band… but wouldn’t you know it it was them, and sounded exactly as they did on all my albums. One of my best memories. I’m 60 now and still crank them out regularly ❤

      Same age mate. Saw them in concert at the Manchester Apollo supported by Joy Division, claim to fame. I'm from Stockport, just the next town away from Gorton where he lived I think. I live in Australia, still got all the old records, 7 inch and albums. Today is the first I've heard of his passing, shit. He wasn't that old. Will have to go and have a look now.
      Cheers mate.

    When this song was out in 1978, I was going through a relationship that was going sour so I could really relate to it at the time. Buzzcocks were a great band, I played the first LP to death, "Another music in a different kitchen" - "Love Bites ", the second LP, was terrific too.
