Yeah, I think Bobby Wratten is one of the most underrated, underappreciated songwriters ever. Every band he's been involved in has produced songs of life-changing wonder:mouse::books::shootingstar:

"And the molluscs crawl...."
Both versions of my favourite McCarthy song. For years, decades even, I preferred the electronic version, now I swither more towards the guitar variant :guitar: :musickeyboard::sunglasses::hibiscus:
Okay, so he may be as fashionable as an aerobics VHS, but away from the cheesy cover versions and novelty songs, he had a few decent tunes out there :guitar: :sunglasses:
'Honey, I'm A Big Boy Now'(the acoustic piano version given away with the NME), and 'A Lover Sings' are especially beautiful. I prefer his love songs to his political ones.
"Where'd you learn to kiss that way?"
Every lyric in this amazing song is a line of dialogue from the fantastic movie 'Desert Hearts'(1985).
"She reached in and placed a string of lights around this heart of mine..." ❤️ :love::sunglasses:
