I remember very clearly hearing it in a record shop twenty years ago,
jumping around (pogoing?) the shop with a mate, and then throwing him into a
record rack. Had to buy the bloody thing so that we didn't get barred.
Although I had tapes of earlier stuff this was the first KJ record I bought
and have not looked back since.

to eighties
back then your child could be graduating - landing a cushy gig and helping
you out
with early retirement!
