Notes:
The second 1982 single to be lifted
from the 1977 Jubilee soundtrack due to the success
of Adam And The Ants. Even though this is credited to The
Maneaters, it features Dave Barbe on drums, and Adam Ant on
bass, harmonica and backing vocals. Toyah is featured on lead vocal
using a lyric that also turned up on a later track of hers called "Alien",
which is the B-side to "I Want To Be Free". The repeated lyrics
are:
|
The alien way to every
word you say
Is an inspiration to an uninspired day
Black is black
White is white
Life is life
From nine to five |
Initially this single was released in the very rare
Adam & Toyah sleeve which is shown above. It was withdrawn as it
appeared to credit the track to "Adam and Toyah" as opposed to the "Maneaters"
(which appeared in smaller lettering in brackets on the sleeve). Both
artists were enjoying solo careers at the time of this release. |
