To be honest, the first few times I listened to ELY, I was a bit unimpressed as well. But over time it dawned on me that this song, complete with the bouncy-synthy opening, was something that should have been on the Eurthmics'
Revenge album; I could totally hear Annie Lennox singing this song. It is one of those dramatic
film noire types of songs, replete with the swell of strings and crescendos, not unlike an old movie score. And that "Don't come here again..." bridge with the
Sgt Pepper's-like arrangement is just brilliant. I am now simply in awe of this hidden little gem of a song buried way deep on the "b-side" of this album.
