One night back in the 80s, I programmed my vcr to record MTVs "120 Minutes". The next day when I checked the tape, this video was on there. It was the first song I'd heard from TPE and is still my favorite. I still can't believe that the "alternative nation" didn't embrace them more. Thanks for the post jpdkiwi!
so funny - that's exactly the way I heard this song!! I used to tape 120 minutes everyweek and watch with a notebook and pen then run down to the alternative record shop in Philly and look for the albums!!!
Ciaran! He was my favorite member. I saw them in chicago way back and he rocked! He held everything together and was the most interesting. He was pretty bald at that time though!

The Hot sprockets, could I have done a great cover of this 👍👍👍👍👍
Great alt band.
To my surprise, I found this on an old American Bandstand, yet did this band ever appear on Top of the Pops?
Please give me this song's lyrics !
Is your dad the drummer?
can anyone tell me the reason why the bbc banned this upon release???
They dared to mention Gerry Adams on the sleeve notes. He was an Establishment hate figure because of the Troubles.

Perhaps not a particularly genius move.
