My father used to play this on an old,old record player. He used to play rhythm guitar in a band himself...i always loved this song. Even more when i was old enough to grasp what the lyrics are about...and my father was gone by then. rip.

Many thanks for your comment.It is indeed sad.In 1976,I spent 3 months in a unit for depression.My ward was just for non serious cases,but there were wards where the patients had to be escorted.Lasting benefit was that I recovered,but also sympathise hugely with the condition.I feel the Move were sympathising,not ridiculing it.When you think about it,it's hard to find an early Move song that isn't about disturbance(Wave the Flag,Fire brigade...the list goes on).

Indeed - and there is a rather sad payoff to this as Ace Kefford ended up being institutionalised in the 1980s. While he was in hospital he saw a film for 'Flowers in the rain' which was about a man in a mental institution- he got very upset about the irony

Several of the Move's songs relate to mental disturbance,such as Cherry Blossom Clinic,Lemon Tree,Night of Fear,to name a few.That said,the cream of the new wave bands then.Faultless,and if I fancy a nostalgic blast now,these guys are the ones.Tragic Carl Wayne is gone.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, for a second! This was only a B-side? That's insane. That's ridiculous! That's...that's..disturbing?!?

You are right. Bev Bevan´s drumming was awesome through the all Move career.
In fact this song was tried to release as the debut Move single A- side. But finally Night of Fear put it in the B- side.
