Another classic Clasher, and a superb example of post-punk. The music, I love the bass line in particular, is funky and has an exotic futuristic edge ... but Joe's accurate and dryly observant monologue on modern life is the deeper attraction. Thinking about it, it's more than a trifle similar to Janie Jones in subject matter, though by this time Joe had greatly refined his lyrics ...
