I will hunt this down, cheers

Play Billy, you bastards! #totp

Also from Spandau: “She used to be a diplomat / But now she’s down the laundromat”

Go on Batesy, say “sexual swear words” for the old times #totp

Same here. Also never understood the difference between this and Black Box’s ‘“Ride on Time”, universally (and rightly) adored
