Interviews - Please That’s My Impression
w

Neil  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.

Neil 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.
