Thanks for the kind words friends. I know Kirsty Mac a bit but didn't know she  did this tune, hers is ok but it's Billy's song all the way. I discovered Bragg and The Violent Femmes at the same time when i was about 12 and those songs just spoke to me so deeply. I follwed Bragg  until about his " Don't Try This At Home" cd . His first 2 albums were incredible and the first Femmes has always been on my top 10. Thanks again for listening.

I'm listening to under2fest jukebox... This is just a great version of the Kirsty MacColl's classic! Superb!
