This is a great song. There's another song by Nik Kershaw called 'James Cagney' which deals with similar expectations of men.

Another one of Nik's songs that proves to me that he's head and shoulders above most other singer- songwriters.

Brother John

That actually brought a tear to my eyes. I was listening to this on series and suddenly realised my heart was in my throat. Good stuff

I think it's less about a bad marriage and more about a guy who just shouldn't have gotten married at all, to anyone, at least not at the time of his life when he did. He has been dishonest with himself and now he is paying a big price. And yeah, that's what a guitar solo should be.

Kershaw really caught the spirit of the times with this track. The contradictions between what we think we should be and what we are... brilliant.

@felixq78 i had read somewer that this song was based on true friends of his. however you're right, Kershaw made a genius out of this song. pity its so under rated

Truth is difficult to express but Kershaw has nailed how it feels to be a young man caught in a bad marriage. Torn between himself and what he thinks he's supposed to be. And what about that guitar solo, just perfect, not too flash and not too simple.
