Wow…
Brian Eno gets a lot of credit for this track but Robert Fripp should do also. Here is the KC version.
Not strictly a cover of The Four Tops’ original * as the lyric is replaced by a Bragg dialogue about unrequited and then unwanted affection, but as I love it, it gets a run out here…
*Queue some pedant or Fowllyd telling me that it was originally recorded by The Left Banke - but Bragg’s homage was to The Four Tops’ version.

I think you’ll find that should be " Cue some pedant…"
