Watching ‘Banned in the eighties’ doc featuring a sensational performance of ‘Two Tribes’ but it reminds me that Holly Johnson ruined my life. I saw that ‘Relax’ video as a kid and I thought growing up would be brilliant. Adulthood and in particular, nightclubs were a real fucking disappointment.

From THE SHADOW PRINCE
You’ve dreamt of him, good-looking gargoyle peering
from garden wall, he moulded every mortal fear
In to a single look and told you he’d already written your story,
(Inspired by my pictured teenaged boy, Doug Fruitbat Angel-Eyes Chunk Berlin Jones Antonio Piranha.)
