This is imo a brilliant rock song with a message to boot by probably the most uncool band ever.

Weird ... 'uncool' bands Squeeze, Lloyd Cole and Dexys? If you were naming the 'coolest' chart bands of the 80s then these three would feature in most lists. I'm much more extreme in my musical tastes, but even so, I doff my cap to an awful lot of that trio's output.
