Before I knew Chris I had written a song with a completely different tune
on the guitar- it was supposed to sound like Blondie - and when we wrote
this music I used those words for this. I love the lines in the middle
bit: '
Go
to a club, you think I'll be there I don't go 'cause I'm not a member'.
They were taken from another song, the first song Chris and I wrote together.
It was a bit Soft Cell. Originally it went on:
'Although
I'm a boy/I don't mind what's on your mind at alV and you won't find me
there...' The music for 'That's my impression' was written in our Italian
disco phase. We were writing a song around an arpeggio.
We first recorded it in Ray Roberts' studio, and then with Bobby '0'.
Bobby '0' thought the words were very weird. We recorded this in a different
studio, producing it ourselves while Stephen Hague was finishing please.
This, the 'disco mix' was originally on the 'Opportunities' twelve-inch;
the seven-inch b-side was just an edit of it. It's a very Bobby '0' theme
again. It's about jealousy, a corny pop lyric about how your lover is
out there somewhere, trying to pick someone else up.
Chris
More sex.

I used to live in Knightsbridge in this little flat and I often used to
walk by the Serpentine, which is why that is mentioned. In the last verse
I'm trying to bearock'h' roll singer.
Chris
I like you singing like this. I don't like deadpan vocals. I've never
liked deadpan vocals.
Neil
Now you tell me.
