This is possibly my favourite Fixx track. The lyrics seem to be relating to a "shore" of the human gene pool , which is quite clever and like a lot of their songs have a fantastic bass hook.
As well as leading The Church for about twenty albums, he's released almost as many solo projects. This is such a beautiful track recorded with Martin Kennedy, his collaborator for recent albums.
What a great band , and a new release later this year. This is a live version of one of their very best . Mike Scott can conjure up such evocative pictures with his lyrics.
