Chris Maybe it was fantasy.

Neil  I think maybe it was fantasy. Chris worked out the chords at the end of the chorus. He said, 'Isn't it this?' and I said, 'Oh, I've been trying to work that out for the last ten years'. This is such a gay song. It's a bit like a show tune.

We went through a phase with Harold Faltemeyer trying to make it into what he calls 'an LA ballad', as though Whitney Houston was going to sing it. But then we did the arrangement which ended up on the album, very stripped down, which was also Harold's idea. It starts off just with synthesisers, and it gradually builds up and finally drums come in right at the end. The lyric is about two gay boys meeting each other and being too shy to have sex.

I think I denied that at the time. It's sort of about sexual trepidation. It's all nervous and jittery, and it's got sexy breathing in it as well. And, actually, listening back to it now I think they do get together at the end of the song. Because he smiles.
