I, I live among the creatures of the night...

This track is Sunday nights in retail; the echoing of the trashy 80's drum machines bouncing off the high corrugated steel roof; rain hitting the grey litter-strewn concrete car-park, now abandoned by fat shoppers leaving only their half-eaten burgers, Argos bags and copies of the Sun.

The video does it justice, Laura Branigan is trapped in a city where the streets are made not of gold but of binbags. But don't knock it - they've got some awesome nightlife, all the clubs have a tinfoil decor and the dress code is strictly pastel leotards (mask preferred). Fake kissing only; heavy petting permitted.



Shit. Had too much to drink again. Check this guy I woke up with!?!
