I loved that record. The way it starts. [Sings] "Born on a storm/where you going to live!!!!" Then the way it goes into the title track. I love it because the whole album puts me in a really good mood. ‘Chocolate Girl’! And the one where he talks about looking like Spencer Tracy [‘He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now’]. In 1988, I was working with Simple Minds, and in Scotland a lot, living in a log cabin by the side of a loch listening to this all the time. The cabin was all wooden cladding, and it came with a big set of kitchen knives. I got very good at throwing kitchen knives and getting them to stick in the wall. Like in the circus!
