Steve Harley was someone who lived an early life of adversity and then made it to his advantage when he began his musical career. This song was undoubtedly his biggest hit, and deservedly so. Released when glam was passing into the musical beyond, it remains a timeless classic nonetheless and is a great little pop song.
Part of it comes down to Harley's distinctive vocal style, pausing before certain words and then drawing the vowel sound out to almost absurd lengths. A pity then that it is marred by the excessive use of female backing vocals. Yet the song has endured long enough to have been covered by numerous other bands - the Wedding Present's version perhaps the best of them.
Rating: 8/10
