I remember that too, he wrote the lyrics inspired by the break-up with his then girlfriend whose name I don't remember but she was a TV actress who starred in one of those well-known 80's tv dramas. She left him for a South American tycoon or something to that extent, and the heartbreak prompt him to write the words, while Lindsey wad the one who did all the musical part if I remember well.
And I like Book of Love too.
