Class song.. class performance… and real deal lyrics… with the truth in song… bbc banned it on radio time.. for got babies being born h.I.v line.. ajoke
It’s an understatement.. Dave gave them a unique sound… they all very clever musicians…. Even the genetically modified stranglers… down in the sewer what a epic song… on the first album…
How fantasic is this bloke..? Thanks again for these matey, top stuff, and a glimpse of the great Edwyn Collins too, how's he doing after his illness...?
The man's a real talent !!! Terrific song. Should have been a big hit. Unfortunately it was up against "I'll tumble 4 ya" and suchlike. No contest. Who buys those records.......
Love this song ~ vast panorama , from "honesty and decency" to "holocaust" and "cities being levelled". Tried to buy this single at the time, but it wasn't stocked the shops I went too! Didin't chart either. Apparently little airplay (due to the HIV reference?), tho when I heard it on the radio I wanted to buy it.
RIP Roy - such a simple bass-line that pumps the song like a heartbeat.
Genius, fantastically talented musician, great songwriter and that voice is is one of the best I ever heard
One of my fav songs of all time. Great story/message. Many of Ian's other compositions thrill me to the max, but this one for me is special!

Agree with all the comments below. Seen him loads with the iceicle works and solo. Absolute genius and it's criminal he's never on the radio.
I saw him in Birmingham at the time this single was released. Great track from a much underrated singer /songwriter
I was there that night...filmed at Cottiers in Glasgow's west end. A-House and Eddi Reader were great too. Boots in great form!

Great Dreams of Heaven Great lyrics Great singer!!
Beautiful song, almost made me cry...
Still making Liverpool proud...
Great song, how this wasn't a hit album defeats me.

Always loved this track !
Is that Edwyn Collins right before we see the stage?
