Love Lloyd Cole & The Commotions. Loved Television. This is their love child.

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.

If you are going to cover a song…
