It's desolate but where she likes to meet
Economies gets weaker
Reactionaries stronger

Back to classic 80's.

There's multiple videos for this, including an extended mix.

I miss the 80s thing where a band would release a single and 12'' remix at the same time.

Anyway, here's That Petrol Emotion with Big Decision

That Petrol Emotion gave us their wonderful debut album “Manic Pop Thrill” in 1986, and were also one of the finest live bands around…..
Press cutting from Record Mirror that I kept for some unknown reason!

Happy Birtday to Damian O'Neill of The Undertones. Damian O'Neill formed That Petrol Emotion, after the Undertones demise, with his brother, John O'Neill. The Petrols were very underrated and deserved bigger success IMO. 😍
