  1. Best bit: the harmonica - gives it an extra 'something'

  2. Worst bit: lyrics: 'the door, for sure', 'reason-treason'

  3. % rating 75%

  4. One of Electronic's best? decent tune - if it wasn't a NO(sideproject) song I still wouldnt switch it off the radio; good driving track, but they have done better

It was medicore when i first heard it but after a couple listens it struck a chord with me. One of my Fav Electronic track, it has almost the same airy, feel-good tone as "Regret" with some pyschedelia overtones (vivid colors) An underrated song. The song begins and ends exactly with the same key.

good- the harmonica and from lyrics:...maybe you need a psychoanalyst...! bad- if there was any possibility for Hooky to be the postman on the video delivering a letter mentioning that there is no bass in the tune! %- 70 best- their first album was better

One of the most perfect songs associated with NO, utterly flawless.

10/10. Exactly what i think Sumner/Marr set out to do. Also contains my favourite lyrics. You can feel the venom in Barneys voice when he delivers the line "You`re never there,right when i need you..."
