Like it, but not one of the band's best.

I don't really like the live version that they do. It's a bit boring. I never understand why everyone seems to be like 'wow, it's bring on the dancing horses'. Same with 'seven seas' and 'silver'. The bunnymen have much better songs, in my opinion.

I think it's a fantastic song but they didn't really play it on tour in the late 80s, they didn't when I saw them. In the live versions I've heard it lumbers along and loses its shine a bit. It seems like they just need to speed the tempo up some when they play it live.

The 12" flutes version rules.

I actually remember being a bit embarrassed by it when it came out, as a lot of people thought it was a bit of a girl's song. All of a sudden, at least in my social circle at the time, it wasn't that cool to be into the bunnymen.

It's a great song, but I agree with Mr.Brian in that it is not all that good live.
