Vinyl B-side off Snapper's single 'Vader', released in 1993. Later it was featured on Flying Nun's rarities album 'Where In The World Is Wendy Broccoli?', released in 2005. In 2002, a cover of it by The Clean (also including Peter Gutteridge) was featured on 'Under the Influence -- 21 Years of Flying Nun Records'.

Lyrics:

It's such a pleasure to touch your skin

To touch your skin

It's such a pleasure to touch your heart

To touch your heart

I can hardly wait

I couldn't bare it, to live for fear

Of undressing you

You're in my world all the time

All the time

I'll wait 'til you arrive

To make it to the grave

And I couldn't have done

Anything else

A gentle love

A gentle heart

(2x)

All things that cause you trouble cause pain

It's such a pleasure to touch your skin

To touch your skin

It's such a pleasure to touch your heart

I can hardly wait

And I'm waiting to hear you now

To make it to the grave

And I couldn't have done

Anything else

I couldn't have done

Anything else

This is pretty special, but Yo La Tengo's cover is just perfect.

Never heard this song before and i've now checked out all 3 versions (maybe there'e more?) and it's interesting to see how different people love different versions. Hey, we're all different! But i would say this is my favourite, followed by the Clean and then YLT! Snapper are one of my "special" bands.
