This gem popped in to my head today : Zodiac Mindwarp, from “Prime Mover” – “Well I love TV and I love T-Rex, I can see through your skirt I got X-Ray specs”.

In early 1985, we played at Gossips, in Soho – the next night we played Dingwalls supporting David Johansen, and then on to France. In the gents in Gossips, Mr Mindwarp was right beside me. He had just had it pierced, and was ALL OVER THE PLACE – I was reminded of the great Billy Connolly line in similar circumstances – “I handed him a card, and said ‘This man will help you’. He asked ‘Is he a specialist?’ and I said ‘No, he’s a clarinet player, he’ll teach you how to hold it’”.

Nonetheless, a cracking single, with a great opening couplet.
