I've always thought of you as my brick wall Built like an angel, six feet tall Six feet tall And when you go away, I start to weep You're too expensive girl to keep Isn't it sweet? I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been Take my independent point of view I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you Don't do me any favors Hark, the herald angels sting Please repair my broken wing Why won't you look at me? I live and breathe (We can make it all the time, to live or die) Blame it on appearance It might seem A shame that we're Not you or me

much the usual fare for Barney. love gone wrong.

i've just actually watched the best of dvd.

the letters in the vid spell out Electronic, as by the way do those in Disappointed.

Barney kind of looks natural holding the Es lol

When Radio 1 started playing it as a single I remember on his breakfast show Simon Mayo asked Bernard what the song was about. The response was something on the lines of "It's about birds nicking your money" Simon.

I do love Barneys vocals. I can never work them out!! I always thought the last lyrics of this song were: "Blame it on appearance It may seem A shame not worked Now youve been"
