Good tune Electricity, and it was their first single released about 35 years back.

Staring at the rude boys

Put my ladder up to the convent flat
I saw a nun with a bear trapper's hat
I get a **** out of things like that
When I'm cleaning windows
It was all downhill after that.

If not....your one.
EDIT: it was Killing an Arab, but any excuse to hear A Forest.
That's £45 more than New Order sold Factory records for.
Did you buy it when it came out for 50p?
I remember a good friend buying it when it came out, I'd never heard of them before that but I liked it straight away.
Your not saying this first single by The Cure was the best they ever did Doc?
It wasn't even the best thing they did on that piece of vinyl.
What was on the B side?

It's better than The Love Cats, but no if I think about it, Another Day, 1015 and A Forest are there

"10.15 Saturday Night"
10.15
Saturday night
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Waiting
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
And I'm crying
For yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
It's always the same
Brilliantly miserable. Can't fail to cheer you up!
