I like it... the back up signer is a dead ringer for the Midnight Oil lead singer! maybe it is?

It's funny how really crappy songs like this one seem to go on and on.

This song is good for the ears, if for no other reason than the licks in the lead...

I still listen to this album. Can't believe it's been so long since it came out. I particularly like "Sunshine on Leath" and "Cap in Hand", but this is a good one too.

Sunshine on Leith is a great, underrated album.

I have seen them in a club/pub and I completely agree with you. Super fun band to see live! |

Really enjoying this. It's refreshing to hear that they had more than 1 great song in them!

I really like these guys.
I thought it strange that I never heard any other of their tunes than that one(500 miles?) hit they had.
that was good and poppy, but to me it sounded like it had "more".

Glad to hear this instead of "500 miles". Many good tunes on this CD. Great guitar fills...throughout and fun sax! Too bad the album cover has them pissing on Leith.
