It really was this song and composition, that mesmerized me, totally. I've been a big fan of the sound of the clarinet and saxophone ever since. Its music that moves you, the most powerful of all. I used to cry as I believed the words and felt I knew the story too. The fact that I was 14 and knew myself to be gay, was another powerful driver into Soft Cell. Non Stop Erotic Cabaret was a masterpiece, with a song for everyone, at different times and parts of their life. A naughty secret for many but a stark reality for more. Youth and Seedy films, seemed to predict today's insular world, after the essences of youth has flown and perhaps your love too, they highlight what you have left, when your two thirds through, spending your lifes penny. It's an album you need to hear atleast once a year, to keep you grounded, and helps you count your blessings.

Mother of God….the lyrics, the voice…I just got wasted at a friend’s house at a huge party of 40/50-somethings. I’d completely forgotten this song. It came up on the playlist and….I don’t have words. A pal and I had the same reaction: total recognition, total emotion. Dragged us both back to our childhoods. I mean, Lord, we both lived through Soft Cell…but so few of us paid much attention to this song. I’m home now (sober-ish) and I had to put it on. How utterly privileged I was to be an 80s kid. Just to live through it all. Glorious.

@@mariethomson2662 I think we did care about sexuality in the 80s because e.g. George Michael didn't come out publicly as being gay until 1998, and there was all the stigma about getting HIV in the 80s too. But bands like Bronski Beat were open about their sexuality early on and probably paved the way for others

Oh, wow, this is such a track. I bought this album living in 'bedsit land' at the time and I played it over and over. And this track... To me it seemed to describe my life, the new forbidden relationship that you know was never going to work, so you have to end it and you know you'll probably still see that person again in the clubs, but you'll pretend you never knew each other. All that early 1980s uncertainty and insecurity comes back
