Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo

[Snooks1971]

And…

Crying in the rain...

David Gray's version of this is hauntingly beautiful

I agree
I’ve only known the Soft Cell version it’s one of my favourite songs from when I was a student

Take your hands off me. I don't belong to you, you see.

Going to find the David Gray version now . One of my favourite songs ever .

it was a kind of so so love and I’m going to make sure it never happens again….

I can see your make up.

Opps
Was it 'you and i and i had to be the standing joke'

Oh I love this song. David Grey's version especially.

One of my fav song ❤️

You’ve just made me feel homesick for my lost youth ❤️💔

Oh I didn’t know the David Grey (gray) original.
im so happy I started this thread!
The lyrics are like a poem

Thank you for a birthday gift, with the other version BUT no way is that as good as the og.

Davids version has no oumph

You were a sleep around, a lost and found…

the whole album was the soundtrack to my A level year

God I love this song. The exquisite angst.

Love both versions but there's a great Live Soft Cell version I've been listening to on repeat.

A nice little housewife to give me a steady life
and won't keep going off the rails...

I've just been having a conversation about favourite covers and had this as one of mine! Then saw the thread

Oh my !
How I absolutely love to belt out and act out this song when I’m alone in the kitchen - it’s such a brilliant, haunting story and evokes so much emotion .
Didn’t think so many like minded people were out there .. yay ..going off to sing it now! X

There is the most beautiful version, Marc Almond and the Jools Holland Big Band. Hootenanny 2001.

Totally agree . No one does it like Marc Almond

My favourite line.

I never knew you
You never knew me

Take a look at me for the last time...
