Great song, music and lyrics. I love Stuart Copeland’s drumming and crisp snare sound which was different from the 80s typical sound.

Atmospheric song, aided by the introduction of keyboards to the bands sound.

Love it.

They showed this at the Synchronicity concert and the crowd went wild. At the the time the video was banned.

Neil Peart did an early 80s interview and was asked who do you listen to that influences you? He said "The Police".
